| Grade / Code | Standard Description (Exact Quote) | Alignment to Toymaking |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 3 SC.3.P.8.3 |
"Compare materials and objects according to properties such as size, shape, color, texture, and hardness." | Students evaluate different cardboard weights (corrugated vs. thin) for mechanical structural integrity. |
| Grade 4 SC.4.P.12.2 |
"Investigate and describe that the speed of an object is determined by the distance it travels in a unit of time." | Used in Level 3-4 Rover builds to measure how different wheel sizes affect travel distance per rotation. |
| Middle School SC.7.P.11.2 |
"Investigate and describe the transformation of energy from one form to another." | Directly mapping the hand-operated input force to the mechanical output motion of the toy character. |
