2 Comments The Ultimate Shoe: Shoe Friction Design Project PostedApril 21, 2015 UpdatedSeptember 27, 2017 Posted bySneha Tharayil I had developed this project for my 8th grade students during our "Motion and Forces" physical science unit in order to give them an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of friction in a project-based type assessment. At the time, the school at which I was teaching had not yet adopted NGSS as it was just beginning to be rolled out at the time. Hence, this project is primarily aligned with the old version of the California State Science Standards. However, I believe this project has potential to be further developed into a truly meaningful design-based project. Hence, I am relying and would therefore LOVE any ideas/feedback from the LinkEngineering community to help me improve this lesson/project. In particular, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone may have as to what a fair-test could be for students to use to test out their designs and collect data. Read More Q&A0
Art and Science Integration: Engineering Design, Modeling, and Spatial Reasoning PostedApril 6, 2015 UpdatedSeptember 23, 2017 Posted byAndrea Burrows http://www.aburrows.com/Courses1314/2014/02/26/science-and-art-collaborative-pro... Pre-service Art Education and Science Education students at the University of Wyoming showcase integration projects. The projects highlighted here (wing, egg, diatom, cell, and ice) are mostly life science oriented, but the idea can be adapted for any type of project in any discipline. Please note that the engineering aspect of the project is not highlighted in the videos, but the pre-service teachers created engineering lesson ideas with each concept for secondary student populations.
