I. Ohio Learning Standards: Physical Science
| Grade / Code | Standard Description (Exact Quote) | Alignment to Toymaking |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 4 4.PS.2 |
"Energy can be transferred from one location to another or can be transformed from one form to another." | Visualizing the transfer of energy from a pull-tab through a linkage to move a toy's mouth or limbs. |
| Grade 5 5.PS.1 |
"The amount of change in movement of an object is based on the mass of the object and the amount of force exerted." | Crucial for calibrating Level 4-5 toys where the weight of the cardboard limbs affects the motor-action. |
| Grade 7 7.PS.3 |
"Energy can be transformed from one form to another (e.g., potential to kinetic)." | Students observe potential energy (tension) becoming kinetic energy (motion) in spring-loaded cardboard builds. |
