Teaching Materials
Positives
- The video offers several examples that could be used in the classroom.
- This video is helpful for teachers and students alike to understand the interplay between science, engineering, and technology.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should understand the definition of technology. Often students think of "high tech" products as technology, but teachers can show students that non-digital items can be technology too.
- Teachers may want to use concrete examples to demonstrate the nexus of science and engineering.
Differentiation
- Students could come up with examples of how science can inform engineering and vice versa.
- Teachers could use this video in a lesson on the nature of science or before an engineering design challenge.
