Synopsis

Problem: You're eager to expand your physics curriculum and engage your students with engineering content but you don't know how. Solution: Use the approach and lessons in Beyond the Egg Drop to infuse engineering into what you're already teaching, without sacrificing time for teaching physics concepts. In addition to a thorough discussion on the rationale, justification, meaning, and implementation of integrating engineering into your science curriculum, this book provides 24 flexible, engineering-infused physics lessons that cover mechanics, optics, electricity, and thermodynamics. Lessons also include examples of student work; incorporate strategies for assessment, teaching, and student learning; and connect to A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards. And like the venerable egg-drop experiment, these are classroom-tested lessons that are designed to truly engage your students. You can tell your students will tune in from the lesson titles--from "Bumper Cars" to "Zombie Apocalypse Flashlight." Developed as part of Project Infuse, a National Science Foundation study, the lessons in Beyond the Egg Drop will make it easier to include engineering concepts and skills without having to restructure your existing physics curriculum.
