What does Webster Say?◦ Science - knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths
or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method. Scientific Method - principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of
knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
◦ Technology - the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area.
◦ Engineering - the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people.
◦ Mathematics - the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations.

Students will:◦Solve social, economical, and environmental
problems using Engineering methods, Scientific knowledge, Mathematical truths through the creation of Technological devices.
Engineering Methods◦Solving problems with a process in mind while
remaining creative and innovative.◦Focus more on the process through design and
documentation than a specific product.◦Optimization methods lead to more efficient
and effective designs.

ConnectionsConnections
Mathematics is an essential component.◦Developments in mathematics often stimulate
innovations in science and technology. Computing Mathematical Modeling Virtual Analysis
Science as an evolving discipline.◦Science is a human activity of discovery◦What is valued in society influences what is
valued in science.

ConnectionsConnections
Technology is a driving factor in innovative processes and methods yet in the past we have simply focused on a product in our classrooms.
◦ The Wrong “P” Project Based
◦ Project production is the main focus.◦ Magnetic Levitation Vehicle (Technology)
Students design a vehicle based on magnetic levitation principles.
Design, processing, creation, and testing Students make something that performs. Assessment: Rubric – Design, Construction, Performance

Design Challenge (Extension)Design Challenge (Extension)
The Right “P”◦ Problem Based
Problem solving based with guiding constraints is the main focus.
Transport freight. (STEM)◦ Students design a vehicle, device.
Utilizing Magnetic Properties (STEM)◦ Students research and inquire about magnetic devices:
MagLev, Rail Launchers, Magnetic BearingsOver a distance of 6 meters (STEM)
◦ Students calculate the effectiveness of possible devices at different distances. Ratios, proportions.
Safely (STEM)◦ Students must evaluate factors to ensure safe travel.
