Overview
Transportation in the Future outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. The series is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K– 12 classrooms.
This book is an interdisciplinary module that uses project- and problem-based learning to help your students do the following:
• Learn about U.S. geography, explore the role of trains in the nation’ s development, and consider train travel in the 21st century.
• Develop conceptual understanding of innovations in train technology, with a focus on maglev (magnetic levitation) trains.
• Use inquiry activities in science to learn about magnetic interactions and use mathematics to calculate distances and time intervals.
• Apply this knowledge in the Maglevacation Train Challenge, working collaboratively while using the engineering design process. Your students will create a prototype train to safely carry passengers a given distance and then prepare a presentation about their destination and their train’ s design features.
The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, this resource can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.
