Sommario/riassunto

This compilation brings together activities based on the "Everyday Engineering" columns from the NSTA journal Science Scope. Thirteen



hands-on investigations focus on three aspects of engineering: designing and building, reverse engineering to learn how something works, and constructing and testing models. Each lesson includes in-depth teacher background information, expected sample data, a materials list, and a student activity sheet for recording results.
