Teacher Guide for the 36-week, 7th-9th grade applied science course!

This Applied Engineering: Studies of God's Design in Nature Teacher Guide contains materials for use with Made in Heaven, Champions of Inventions, and Discovery of Design, which includes:

• The study of biomimicry, where students will discover how the glow of a cat's eyes innovates road reflectors, the naturally sticky inspirations for Velcro® and barbed wire, the moth's eye, and other natural examples are inspiring improvements and new technologies in our lives.
• Experiments to help students more deeply understand scientific principles discussed in the readings, as well as the formation of an invention notebook where students begin laying out ideas for their own inventions!

OVERVIEW: Applied Engineering takes students to the very frontiers of scientific discovery where researchers are taking design elements from God's world and creating extraordinary breakthroughs that benefit our health, our quality of life, and even help us work more efficiently. Students also learn about those scientists of faith who laid the foundations for these cutting-edge advances of today!

FEATURES: Each suggested weekly schedule has four easy-to-manage lessons which combine reading and worksheets. Worksheets and quizzes are perforated and three-hole punched - materials are easy to tear out, hand out, grade, and store. As always, you are encouraged to adjust the schedule and materials as you need to in order to best work within your educational program.
