David Baltimore's Life in Science
Back to description
One
Great Neck, Long Island
No one has yet isolated the circumstances that help a child grow whole and independent, but they were present. James Gleick
Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman Great Neck was one of the many commutervilles lining the route of the Long Island Railroad in the years following World War II. This sleepy little New York town had become famous up and down Long Island for its excellent schools. Everyone at Great Neck High School was expected to go to a four-year college; higher education was both imperative and assumed. Here David Baltimore went to school. He was one of those students whom everyone referred to as "gifted," and when his brother came through the same classes four years later, the teachers still remembered David. In school, David had no particular direction in mind, and biology classes in the 1950s were unlikely to inspire budding scientists. David's biology class consisted entirely of memorization. He learned the parts of a fern, the pieces of a flower, how the five biological kingdoms were divided, the names of all of the classes in the animal kingdom, the organs of a frog. The course was descriptive; students were not encouraged to ask how or why, or to think about how to solve a problem. And laboratory experiments were far beyond the capacity of the high school classroom in time, resources, and knowledge. The world of research remained foreign to him.

The following towns are represented by the Explorer Post membership Rube Goldberg Project: Electronic Construction Project: Explorers in this project are getting the chance to do a lot of "hands on" construction of electronic circuits. They started out with the basics of how to safely use the tools such as wire cutters and soldering irons. Then on to learning how to read an engineering drawing, schematic, parts list and assembly procedure. They experimented with a number of simple circuits to learn about electronic components: how to distinguish a diode from a capacitor; how to tell the value of a resistor, how to tell the polarity of an LED (light emitting diode).

Index Abbey Ami Brian ... Teacher Page The Rube Goldberg Science Project January 2004 What is a Rube Goldberg machine? It is a machine that makes things far more complicated than they should be. What it does is take a very simple method, like sharpening a pencil or eating a banana, and make it hard. It is done by taking a group of ordinary objects and connecting them with a bunch of simple machines in a weird, but workable, way. Knowing what people know takes many forms. In this case, rather than a written science test, the students had a chance to combine what they learned in language arts, science and technology into an exciting and fun project. It allowed them: to be an inventor and use the invention steps they had learned. to show how the Force science concepts can be used. to demonstrates their knowledge of simple machines. to use good ideas, organization and mechanics in an interesting paragraph explaining how their Rube Goldberg machine worked. to be creative and artistic. to construct something fun out of their heads using materials that they could find around their homes.

Rube Goldberg (Grades 5-12)
July 4
Here is a quintessential Goldberg cartoon showing a multistep process.
Born on the fourth of July in 1883, Rube Goldberg became an engineer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist, a short-story writer, and a sculptor. But it is his cartoons featuring those mind-boggling inventions for which he is best remembered. The one entitled "Professor Butts' Automatic Garage Door Opener" (1928) shows a car bumper hitting a mallet that explodes a cap, which frightens a rabbit tied to a string that discharges a pistol that.... Well, you get the picture. In 18 simple steps, which involve both a sleeping dog and a tank of fish, the garage door opens! His absurd yet logical inventions were known as Rube Goldberg devices and reflected not only the humor he found in daily life, but also his unique view of the often-turbulent relationship between technology and humans. While many of Goldberg's inventions mocked the intrusion of machines into our lives, some, in their own special way, were the forerunners of real technology. The first mass-produced radio-controlled garage door opener was sold in 1954 and required no live animals!

TEACHING THE TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS
A Website by Brian Johns
Technology Educator
Les Bois Junior High School
Boise, Idaho
In 1994 (the International Technology Educators Association) launched the Technology For All Americans project in order to improve student achievement in technology literacy. The project includes goals, standards, and benchmarks for every grade level and gives technology educators a path to follow when designing curriculum. The following table lists the benchmarks for technology classes and includes some suggested activities for each benchmark. If you are a technology teacher and you teach at least one activity per benchmark you can be assured that you are teaching to the standards. Many of the standards are very broad and are met with just about any technology activity while other activities are more specific. Although there are a lot of benchmarks to accomplish within one semester or school year, oftentimes one activity or project will meet quite a few benchmarks at once. Why does it matter? If you are not teaching to the standards you are not doing your job... Middle school standards are in BLUE and high school standards in RED T E C H N O L O G Y B E N C H M A R K S Standard 1 Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics and scope of technology.

Three Rowan University engineering grad students have put a unique spin on recycling monitors that is both creative and lucrative.
Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Ciocco, and Jeremy Neyhart found that constant upgrades can eventually turn a computer into more trash than treasure. But instead of letting them pile up in landfills, the trio rescues monitors that are headed for the dumpster and transforms them into functional art.

Local News Rube Goldberg's a BMOC Undergrad research wins backing Thursday, May 09, 2002 By Bill Schackner, Post-Gazette Staff Writer Someday, there just may be a market out there for a collapsible sailboat that folds into a backpack. And perhaps everyone will want a car that obeys voice commands and even recommends restaurants. Carnegie Mellon University junior Ajay Juneja, 21, a mechanical engineering major, is working on a project, known as "Hey Mr. DJ.,'" which involves a natural language processing system enabling a driver to tell a stereo system which one of 150 different stored songs to play. (Bill Wade, Post-Gazette) No, these are not the wild rants of an inventor who's spent one too many nights locked in a lab. They are real live projects at a college campus being tackled by, of all people, undergraduates. The idea that research is the exclusive domain of lab-coated faculty and their graduate students doesn't square with a trend emerging in places like Carnegie Mellon University. There, undergraduates are being encouraged to engage in their own research, and the school kicks in hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money to get them started.
