Wood Composite Curriculum Connections
• Inquiry Project• Science
– Property of matter– Density, Weight,
Pressure
• Math– Spreadsheets,
programming formulas, ratios
• Science/Math Notebooks– Modeling research
• Inquiry• Inductive thinking
– Record Protocol– Record the Data
• Qualitative– Observations
• Quantitative– Mass, dimensions, etc…
Classification of Matter
Carbon
Element
Caffine
Compound
Pure Substance
Milk
Homogeneous
Lucky Charms
Heterogeneous
Mixture
Matter
Properties of matter and how matter changes Alloys - a homogenous mixture of two or more
elements (one of which is metallic)Brass (Cu & Zn)Steel (C & Fe)
Composites - Engineered materials made from two or more constituents materials with significantly different physical or chemical propertiesMatrix & Reinforcement
Straw & Mud (Ancient bricks)Fiberglass
Wood Composite Test (flour,salt, sawdust ,water) How do composites affect the
properties of materials?
Differentiate
Provide wood composite recipe
Allow students to develop and test their own recipes.
Data CollectionAllows students to construct
meaning from raw dataTechnology Component
SpreadsheetsFormulas to calculate formulas
Volume, density, weight, pressure, ratios
Graphdensity to mass ratio
Curriculum ConnectionsPhysical ScienceMathCutting edge research
Relevant to WHY students need to learn STEM subjects
