1 Experience Hands-on Activity: Balloons PostedApril 7, 2015 UpdatedSeptember 25, 2017 Posted byMike Soltys https://www.teachengineering.org/view_activity.php?url=collection/cub_/activitie... Students follow the steps of the engineering design process as they design and construct balloons for aerial surveillance. After their first attempts to create balloons, they are given the associated Estimating Buoyancy lesson to learn about volume, buoyancy and density to help them iterate more successful balloon designs.Applying their newfound knowledge, the young engineers build and test balloons that fly carrying small flip cameras that capture aerial images of their school. Students use the aerial footage to draw maps and estimate areas. 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.
