1 John Atherton Toronto District School Board

2  Share some ideas on how we can get students thinking about engineering and how physics concepts relate to the design of real world technologies and evetns

3  Mechanical Engineering Degree  Commissioning Engineer, Large Steam Turbines  Design and build drinking water systems  Corporate Underwriter, Boiler and Machinery Insurance  Able to change a fuses and light bulbs

4  Engineering is the application of science  Thinking creatively: from concept to form  Working in a team  Communication; team, calculation, report writing, audience  Design, Build, Test and start again!

5  Lots!  See file See file

6 1. Calculating and designing in groups with whiteboards. 2. Labs - Comparing recipe/confirmation labs and investigating ‘real’ situations 3. Design and Build 4. Trips - taking it outside

7 1. Calculating for design - cooperative group problem solving  Car Crash Investigation  Riding the Wall of Death  Bungee Jump  The James Webb Telescope  Space Station - Mars 2. Labs 2 ways  pendulum and spring mass 3. Design, build and test  Trebuchet/Wind turbine/ Bridge building 4. Trips  Wonderland and Flying
