BRAINBOX - HEAT LAB

A STEAM project where students learn:

Curriculum	Learning Activities
SCIENCE	Real world experimental design and data collection
TECHNOLOGY	Use technology for diagnosis and/or analysis of materials
ART	Record, document and publish a multi-media history of the project
ENGINEERING	How to test how heat processing may affect probability of a dice roll.
MATHEMATICS	Evaluation, prototyping and improvement guided by authentic data & improved understanding

The trials for this HEAT experiment may be performed in parallel with other workshop activities if necessary. Full data should be recorded for each trial. Scheduled documentation updates (say every 15 minutes) is recommended.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS: “I will admit that engineering is my weak area of STEM, but if I expect my students to be uncomfortable while learning, then so must I!” Darci J Harland

FRAMES OF REFERENCE:

What is a 'frame of reference'... and why is it important?:

The 'fact' is that any understanding of science requires an understanding of 'frames of reference'.

How our frame of reference affects the way we see the world:
