"Do not go where the path leads; Rather, go where there is no path and leave a trail." -Emerson Inventions Volume 5, Issue 18 - January 26, 2003 presented by Walter McKenzie - Surfaquarium Consulting Innovative staff development: Technology Applications, Multiple Intelligences, Curriculum Integration and Creative Education. Let's see what we can do for your staff! The volume of online resources to be considered on inventors and inventions is so large I am breaking them into two newsletters. This week I will focus on the process of inventing; next week inventors. Simple machines are a common Science topic across the nation, and there is no better way to apply skills and concepts of simple machines than implementing a unit challenging students to apply what they've learned! In fact, whether you're approaching it from a purely science point-of-view or you'd like to incorporate math and language arts, a unit study of inventors and inventions is a great way to offer, authentic, real world, higher level application of skills and concepts students have been learning over the span of their academic careers. Here's a digital dozen of resources designed to help you make this a show-stopper for your school year.

Lucia Rusu with CPU teamate Forrest Meiere. Lucia Rusu Steve Robinson Stephen Robinson , Associate Professor of Physics, was a 1997 recipient of the Outstanding Faculty Award for Teaching at Tennessee Technological University (TTU). According to the local newspaper, Robinson's peers consider him an innovator, and praise his efforts to make a difficult subject more accessible. "Steve has a talent for looking at classes in a new way and being able to bring those new ideas to fruition in the classroom," reported John Shriner, chairperson of the TTU Physics department, who cited in particular Robinson's participation in the CPU project. Robinson was recognized for his achievements, and received a plaque and honorarium during TTU's commencement ceremonies. Steve is a very active member of one of the Tennessee CPU Leadership Teams.

Unit Planning Guide - Sample Unit Unit Overview CELs Factors of Scientific Literacy Foundational Objectives ... Sample Mini Lesson The Sample Unit provided here is an integrated unit involving a major project. Four to six weeks are required to complete this unit. Many of the Key Concepts and Learning Outcomes in the first three Core Units, as well as Optional Unit VII on Electromagnetism are covered. Further development of the Core and Optional Units could take place through other similar types of integrated units. Students are involved in the design and construction of a mechanical device called a "Rube Goldberg," aptly named after the late cartoonist whose illustrations showed a variety of humorous mechanical inventions which took a simple problem and made it seemingly as complex as possible. For example, Rube Goldberg once sketched his version of what might appear to some to be the perfect alarm clock for the technological age. When the sun comes up and shines through a window, light is focused by a magnifying glass onto a string. The string breaks, causing a sand bag to drop into a large water ladle. The ladle then pivots, causing a gate to open. The open gate allows a heavy bowling ball to roll down a chute. The end of the bed is attached to the moving ball, through an ingenious arrangement of pulleys and ropes. This mechanism then lifts the bed into a vertical position, dropping the sleeping person right into their shoes, which just happen to be positioned at the appropriate location on the floor.

As the kids use HyperStudio to present their research projects on famous persons in history, the preservice teachers are impressed: this is their first time observing a real classroom with a teacher who is skilled at using educational technology. Not only are the students enthusiastic, their presentations are detailed and impressive-they've been using the software since the second grade, after all. In another classroom on a campus in rural Indiana, preservice teachers are using two-way videoconferencing to present mini-lessons to bilingual third-graders in East Chicago, 90 miles and a world away from the K-12 schools the preservice teachers normally work with in rural Indiana.

var TlxPgNm='id63'; ESMIS Physical Science Project Educators' Science and Math Institute Series About the Series Goals Institutes ... ESMIS ESMIS physical science project During June of 2000 I attended a physical science institute funded with Eisenhower Grant monies and administered by Michigan Technology University. We spent a week at the Ford Forestry center at Alberta, Michigan and on MTU’s campus. Throughout the course of the week we attended sessions related to physical science, went on field trips, and spent time sharing our teaching experiences with one another. Dr. Hindelang had an extensive library and computer lab with internet connectivity available for us to use. We all left the institute with a unit of study to implement in our classrooms in the fall. In examining our 3rd grade curriculum I decided to develop a unit on forces and simple machines. Before I even started this unit I briefly indicated to the parents in the newsletter that I send home every Friday that we would be needing hammers, screwdrivers, 5 quart ice cream buckets, and non-working electrical appliances: ie. toasters, fans, can openers, VCRs, disk drives, etc. I introduced the unit with three fictional picture books: Choo Choo by Virginia Lee Burton, Lazy Bear by Brian Wildsmith, and Mr Gumpy’s Motor Car by John Burningham. These books were on the chalk tray in the front of the room about a week before we started working on the unit. The first day of the unit we brainstormed different machines. As the children named machines I listed them on a piece of chart paper. After we had a sizable list, I asked what do they have in common. We made another list. I asked the children how these machines could be grouped. I then asked which were the simplest machines on the list. We then defined the six simple machines: wheel and axle, incline plane, pulley, lever, screw, and wedge. I divided the class into 6 groups. Each group was given a large piece of paper and the name of a simple machine. Over the course of the new few weeks they were to work on their simple machine poster whenever they had time.

From the June 2000 issue) Arts Impact Middle School makes the grade By Nancy Patzer AIMS kids. Hallway mural The Short North area is known for its galleries and art stores, theaters and music festivals, but in addition, this district is home to one of the few arts-oriented schools in Columbus. Arts Impact Middle School (AIMS) on West Fourth Avenue is the only middle school in the Columbus Public School System with an emphasis on arts-infused curriculum, where students, grades six through eight, learn traditional subjects through the arts: music, dance, visual arts, theater, photography, and film. Before AIMS, there were no arts impact middle schools in Columbus. The school emerged from the revamping of several traditional schools. For years, Columbus Public Schools operated alternative/arts-oriented schools like Duxberry Alternative Arts Impact (Elementary) and Fort Hayes High School with no middle school connection. A few years ago, when the Board of Education was looking at the closure and restruc-turing of some of its schools, it created the Afrocentric School and the Spanish and French Immersion Schools (formerly elementary centers), making them K-8 Centers. At the same time, the arts community was expressing a similar desire for an arts/alternative middle school link. In response to this need, the board created the Arts Impact Middle School. Everett Middle School closed in order to accommodate AIMS, which was established in its current location with the 1998-1999 school year. Prior to moving to its present site on West Fourth Avenue in the Short North, the school was housed for two years in a temporary site at Sharon Elementary School. Initially there were only about ten teachers at AIMS. In its fourth year of operation, faculty and staff now number around sixty. AIMS produced its first graduating class of 200 students in the spring of last year and recently received a $50,000 grant, an Ohio Governor's

Honors General Physics 211 MH Lab Description Fall 2005 Dr. Mike Nichols Overview Students in the honors physics lab sections will not be doing the same type of labs as are done in the other sections. In keeping with the goals of the Honors Program, to allow a greater personal ownership of the educational experience, and the additional freedom and responsibility that goes with that, student groups in PHY 211 MA and MB will be engaged in a semester long competition to design and build a simple machine that can perform a specific task after a minimum number of steps without human intervention. Such a device is called a Rube Goldberg machine, named after the creative inventions of the Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist, sculptor, and author Depending on your age, and experience, you may have first been exposed to the ideas behind the Rube Goldberg machine through the Milton Bradley game “Mousetrap, or , more recently, through movies such as Back to the Future, or Home Alone.

The idea came from the Oregon Science Olympiad Tournament Mission Possible event for middle school students, put on in our region by Covie Quick at Calapooia Middle School in Albany, OR. We think it can be done with all ages and for whatever amount of time you are willing to dedicate to the activity. With the 2nd grade class we did the project for one hour per week over 8 weeks, culminating in four simple machine designs and a poster for the Science Fair. It was fun and the kids learned a lot. Now, we'll go off on a class trip to see ROBOTS with a new appreciation for SIMPLE MACHINES BACKGROUND Simple Machines are machines with no or few moving parts that help make work easer (or play more fun). Simple Machines are tools that change either the amount of force acting on an object, or the direction of the force . Force is the energy you put into something - like pushing off on a teeter-totter. You use these in your every day with out even thinking about them.

Text by Ann Curran, Photos by Bill Redic and Glenn Brookes You can't miss Larry Cartwright on a construction site. At 6 foot 6 and 300 pounds, he towers above his students, all dressed in white hard hats. Now in his 15th year as teacher in the enormously practical Design and Construction course, Cartwright (E'76, '87) has taken his students from early non-glamorous "pure engineering" jobs, such as building cleaning tanks and retaining walls, to constructing decks, parklets and amphitheaters that clearly contribute to the ambience of outdoor life on campus. "I have a real eclectic group," Cartwright says, at the Baker Hall site as students hammer together wooden forms in preparation for a cement pour. Lapsing into engineering college shorthand, he says, "I have 18 civils, three mechanical engineering, one electrical engineering, one materials scientist, two sculptors, one architect.... I actually recruited people from Fine Arts." All students take part in both the design and construction phases in this very popular course.
