a. Write questions to discover innovations that changed your
system
b. Write questions to discover how your system is connected to
other systems
c. Write questions to discover how your system will be changed
by modern innovations.

coal, etc.

Airplane
Invented by Wright
brothers, 1903

When the first airplane was

invented, it couldn’t carry
people more than 1 person
but what it could do is that
people could control it and fly
across the world. Without the
first airplane, there wouldn’t
be airplane in the present
day.

Reflection Criterion B Strand iv. Reflect on the process and results of the investigation.

So first I pick my system (Transportation system) and I pick three innovation which was car, train and
airplane. Then I research deep into the three innovation and find the connection between the other
system and transportation system. Next, I will pick one modern innovation and imagine what will
happen to this modern innovation in the future. Last, I will put everything in the slide and site my
sources. I think the result was going great because I accomplish my goal by finishing my summative
and be able to explain my research question clearly. I think that I could improve my summative next
time by research more because I feel like I need more information.
