Science Main Entry: sci·ence Pronunciation: \ˈsī-ən(t)s\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin scientia, from scient-, sciens having knowledge, from present participle of scire to know; perhaps akin to Sanskrit chyati he cuts off, Latin scindere to split — more at shed Date: 14th century 1: the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding 2 : a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study <the science of theology> b: something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge <have it down to a science> 3 : knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method b: such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena :natural science 4: a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws <cooking is both a science and an art>
Technology Main Entry: tech·nol·o·gy Pronunciation: \-jē\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural tech·nol·o·gies Etymology: Greek technologia systematic treatment of an art, from technē art, skill + -o- + -logia -logy Date: 1859 1 a: the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area :engineering 2 <medical technology> b: a capability given by the practical application of knowledge <a car's fuel-saving technology> 2: a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge <new technologies for information storage> 3: the specialized aspects of a particular field of endeavor <educational technology>
Engineering Main Entry: en·gi·neer·ing Pronunciation: \-ˈnir-iŋ\ Function: noun Date: 1720 1: the activities or function of an engineer 2 : the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people b: the design and manufacture of complex products <software engineering> 3: calculated manipulation or direction (as of behavior) <social engineering>
Math Main Entry: math·e·mat·ics Pronunciation: \ˌmath-ˈma-tiks, ˌma-thə-\ Function: noun plural but usually singular in construction Date: 1573 1 : the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations 2 : a branch of, operation in, or use of mathematics <the mathematics of physical chemistry> science.

The steps of the scientific method are to: • Ask a Question • Do Background Research • Construct a Hypothesis • Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment • Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion • Communicate Your Results
I Teach Physics! • Students do mostly “Hands On “ Activities! • Students retain information better with “Real Life” problem solving skills! • Students use STEM based learning everyday! • Students understand “Why” they need to know the information!
Students use the Four Energy Systems Daily! 1) Mechanical 2) Fluid 3) Electrical 4) Thermal
I Teach Physics! My curriculum is “Auto Collision Repair Technology!
“Program of Study” • Up to 12 post secondary credit hours from Ivy Tech and good toward any Public or Private College or University in Indiana. • ASE Testing and Certification. • Curriculum in accordance with NATEF and I-Car standards and curriculum.
Science • Students learn Welding.(Thermal Dynamics) • Students learn to mix paint colors using formulas. • Students use Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems. • Students mix chemicals to form bonding agents.
Technology • Students use an Ultra Sonic Computerized 3D Measuring System. • Students use a Computerized Data Base for Estimate writing. • Students use an Internet Based Technical Service for Research. • Students use Computerized Data for Paint Formulas.
Engineering • Students learn to read schematics and diagrams. • Students learn about structure. • Students learn assembly order. • Students learn about metal strengths and metal types. • Students learn about plastics and composite materials.
Mathematics • Students mix paints by weight and ratios. • Students learn to measure in 3 Dimensions. • Students use Estimating Skills. • Students compute vehicle estimate cost and part and material totals. • Students learn “Lay Outs.”
ASE Testing for at least three of the “Collision Subject Areas” by time student graduates. • Auto Body Repair Technology Text Books • Uniforms • Job Shadowing Opportunities
Anyone can integrate STEM Based Learning in any Curriculum!How can You use STEM in Your Class?
