EVERYDAY ENGINEERING: PUTTING THE E IN STEM TEACHING AND LEARNING
Book ID/图书代码： 11724014B71677
English Summary/英文概要： The idea for Everyday Engineering began with our interest in design and production issues related to the simple ball-point pen. We were struck by the elegance of the means for retracting the reservoir and transferring the ink to paper .... For some months, we found ourselves taking a number of things apart becoming more and more intrigued with the design of the seemingly simple. When thought about in this light, paper clips and pump soap dispensers become fascinating; so, too, is learning the history of how these everyday objects were developed. From the Introduction to Everyday Engineering Here s an ideal way to spark students fascination with the marvels of engineering behind the seemingly simple. This book is a compilation of popular Everyday Engineering columns from NSTA s middle school journal, Science Scope. The collection is made up of 14 activities that explore engineering s role in five areas: the office, the kitchen, the bathroom, electricity, and outdoor recreation. Students can perform hands-on investigations of objects they use all the time, asking questions such as: What makes a Bic click? Why do squirt guns squirt? What makes a better cereal box? Each activity includes a clear explanation of the science and history behind the object s development plus a material s list, student data sheets, and safety suggestions. The collection is useful to classroom teachers as well as scout leaders, engineers leading outreach activities, after-school and summer enrichment program staff, and parents. Everyday Engineering may soon have your students taking a number of things apart and putting together a lifelong interest in engineering.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《天天工程》这本书的最初想法源于我们对与简单圆珠笔相关的设计与制作问题的兴趣。笔芯里的油墨一点点优雅地减少，同时被作为墨水转移到纸上令我们无比惊叹... ...好几个月，我们都不由自主地在拆东西，我们发现越来越沉迷于这些看似简单的小东西背后的设计。这样想后，回形针。按压式皂液瓶变得愈发迷人起来，而同样有趣的则是了解这些日常用品的创造史。以上是《天天工程》的引言节选，这本书可以说是一种理想的方式，激发孩子们，让他们对看似简单的小工程设计背后的奇妙之处着迷。这本书还是一个收录后的合集，收录了NSTA的中学校刊Science Scope中‘天天工程’专栏中的内容。该选集一共由14项活动组成，主要对工程的五个领域进行探究：办公室、厨房、浴室、电器，以及户外娱乐。学生们可以对他们一直在使用的物品亲手展开调研，询问诸如下列问题：是什么让BIC圆珠笔发出咔嗒声？水枪为什么能喷水？用什么制作燕麦盒子更好？每一项小活动都包括：对对应小物件背后的科学原理和发展历史的清晰解释，以及一份材料清单，一张学生数据表和安全建议。这本合集不仅对课堂教师而言十分有用，对儿童指导员也是一样，工程师们将可以引导更多额外活动，指导课后及夏季丰富项目活动的员工和家长们。或许很快，《天天工程》就会让你的学生们拆掉一堆东西，把它们重新拼起来，并从此形成对工程学的毕生兴趣。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况：从个人角度而言，这些课程计划均具有较高的质量，其中有许多学生们在团队中完成任务的照片，也有关于安全的备注... ...这些课程计划最最棒的地方就在于它们包括了问题讨论的环节，从而挑战学生们去进一步推算他们的发现，并将其变成全新的或更为新颖的设计。——--SB and F 2012
Individually, these lessons plans are of high-quality, with many photographs of students completing tasks in teams and with comments on safety. … One of the greatest strengths of these lesson plans is the inclusion of discussion questions which challenge students to extrapolate their findings into new and novel designs. --SB and F 2012
