TeachEngineering.org is a collaborative project between faculty, students and teachers associated with five universities and the American Society for Engineering Education, with NSF National Science Digital Library funding. Introduction This kit contains activities, learning goals, educational standards, and assessments designed to teach students, through the use of inquiry, how rockets function by understanding Newton’s Laws. The majority of the activities in this kit are aimed at students in 3-5th grades (however they can be adapted for use with other grade levels). The 2nd orange tab contains activities for higher grade levels, 6 through 8. The last tab contains activities from the Rocket Educator Guide produced by NASA. Curriculum taken from the Teach Engineering website is broken down into curricular units (broad overview of topic), lesson plans within that particular unit, and lesson activities associated with each lesson plan. Each lesson includes a summary, introduction, background and concepts for teacher, pre- and post- assessment, along with lesson extension activities, where to obtain additional information, and ideas for further investigation. Each activity includes a summary of what the students will learn, the materials needed, an experimental procedure, and embedded assessment opportunities. Handouts are provided, which can be copied and distributed to students to help guide them through the activities. Possible modifications have been notated in green and italicized on the Binder Contents page for certain activities. By accessing the Teach Engineering website at www.teachengineering.org you can view the pictures, diagrams and descriptions on the website, as well as access their list of references for more information along with their lesson extension activities.

  • Diversity and Unity in the TV Show Community
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 Diversity and Unity in the TV Show Community Anders, Lisann Abstract: What is a community? And what does it mean in the context of contemporary American popular culture? The TV show Community tackles these questions in a creative way. It looks at how communities are constructed but also idealizes them in a fictional way. The show is constantly aware of its fictionality and is thus self-reflexive in its representation of communities. It is aware ofitsown constructedness and of the way in which American life is represented. The aim of this article is to analyze what effects a (constructed) community can have on individuals by means of the group relationship inthe show. It is to be shown that a community is a major part in shaping and changing one’s individual values and thus has an effect on a person’s character and identity traits by drawing on Benedict Anderson’s concept of “imagined communities” and by incorporating director Joe Russo’s thoughts on the series. Eventually, it will be argued that the consequence of an individual’s change is a change of the dynamics of the community. Hence, by means of the effects of a person’s change by a community, the community itself is changed. That again means that such a portrayal on TV can serve as a role model of an ideal vision of a community and opens perspectives on possibilities of social change.
