Engineer Working Models
Janice VanCleave’s Engineering for Every Kid: Easy Activities That Make Learning Science Fun This book contains research for different types of engineering as well as investigations that can be used as exploratory experiments in the design and developing of an engineering project. Designing! Developing! Testing! Engineers often design scale-models of large projects, such as buildings, […]
Atomic Models
I am a visual learner and often make models so that I can understand a concept. Since I seem to be challenged when it comes to spacial orientation, I need models for things that are three dimensional. For example, atoms and their parts and especially how scientists find out about the parts of atoms without […]
Science Fair Projects: Models
Notes from Janice’s Desk I received an email from a mom who referenced the note with “Desperate MOM-Please Help Me. This frantic mom was in a panic over her son’s science assignment. It was to be a parent/child project. I wondered how difficult an assignment kindergarten kids could be. At my request, she faxed the […]
