  1. Middle School Collaborative Patrica Bernhardt Beth Hayes Tracy Vassiliev FBRI in the Middle SchoolsJanuary 27, 2009

  2. Wood Composite Curriculum Connections • Inquiry Project • Science • Property of matter • Density, Weight, Pressure • Math • Spreadsheets, programming formulas, ratios

  3. Science/Math Notebooks • Modeling research • Inquiry • Inductive thinking • Record Protocol • Record the Data • Qualitative • Observations • Quantitative • Mass, dimensions, etc…

  4. Classification of Matter

  5. Properties of matter and how matter changes • Alloys - a homogenous mixture of two or more elements (one of which is metallic) • Brass (Cu & Zn) • Steel (C & Fe) • Composites - Engineered materials made from two or more constituents materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties • Matrix & Reinforcement • Straw & Mud (Ancient bricks) • Fiberglass

  6. Wood Composite Test (flour,salt, sawdust ,water) • How do composites affect the properties of materials? • Differentiate • Provide wood composite recipe • Allow students to develop and test their own recipes.

  7. Data Collection • Allows students to construct meaning from raw data • Technology Component • Spreadsheets • Formulas to calculate formulas • Volume, density, weight, pressure, ratios • Graph • density to mass ratio

  8. Curriculum Connections • Physical Science • Math • Cutting edge research • Relevant to WHY students need to learn STEM subjects
