De student die dit vak met goed gevolg heeft doorlopen zal in staat zijn om: (1) Op basis van eigenschappen en gedrag onder externe invloeden een klassificatie te maken van materialen en op basis daarvan een eerste indruk te krijgen van hun geschiktheid in bepaalde toepassingen. (2) Inzicht te verkrijgen in de rol van materialen, materiaalgebruik en materiaalontwikkeling in de ontwikkeling, kwaliteit, mogelijkheden en bedreigingen van de samenleving afhankelijk van tijd, plaats en cultuur. Dit inzicht is gebaseerd op objectieve data. (3) Vast te stellen welke materiaaleigenschappen van kritisch belang zijn in mechanische en andere werktuigbouwkundige ontwerpen, en met behulp van eenduidige criteria materiaalkeuzes in de ontwerpcriteria van constructies te optimaliseren. De belangrijkste eigenschappen die aan de orde komen zijn dichtheid, stijfheid, sterkte, plasticiteit, breuk, vermoeiing, wrijving, slijtage. (4) Mechanische eigenschappen van materialen te herleiden tot chemische bindingen, onderlinge krachten, ordeningspatronen, defecten, en relatieve bewegingsmogelijkheden van atomen. De verschillende lengteschalen die materiaaleigenschappen bepalen staan hierbij centraal. Hiermee zal tevens inzicht verkregen worden in de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van materialen onder extreme omstandigheden en in de strategieën die gevolgd kunnen worden om materialen te verbeteren. (5) Optimale keuzes te maken binnen het beschikbare spectrum van procestechnieken (productie, bewerking, vorming, verbinding, afwerking) om componenten en eindproducten te vervaardigen. (6) Software te gebruiken waarmee, gegeven een aantal vereisten van materiaaleigenschappen, het beste materiaal voor een ontwerp kan worden geselecteerd. Deze materiaaleigenschappen gaan verder dan mechanische eigenschappen alleen. Thermische, elektrische, ecologische, economische en recycling-eigenschappen zullen in voorkomende gevallen ook meegewogen worden.

The goal of this video lesson is to teach students about new and exciting ways of holding an election that they may not be aware of. Students will learn three different methods of voting: plurality, instant runoff, and the Borda count. They will be led through a voting experiment in which they will see the weakness of plurality when there are three or more candidates. This lesson will show that not every voting system is perfect, and that each has its strengths and weaknesses. It will also promote thought, discussion, and understanding of the various methods of voting.
This art history video discussion examines Henri Matisse's "Luxe, calme et volupte", 1904, oil on canvas, 37 x 46 inches (Musee d'Orsay, Paris). Painted while the artist stayed with the pointillist painter, Signac, at his home in Saint-Tropez on the Cote d'Azur. Matisse's title comes from Charles Baudelaire's poem, L'invitation au voyage (Invitation To A Voyage) from his collection, The Flowers of Evil. Luxe, calme et volupte translates just as it sounds in English, Luxury, calm, and voluptuous(ness).
This art history video discussion examines Henri Matisse's "The Piano Lesson", 1916 (The Museum of Modern Art).
This art history video discussion looks at Henri Matisse's "The Red Studio", oil on canvas, 1911 (MoMA).
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about single object length ii (english units).
The main aim of this lesson is to show students that distances may be determined without a meter stick—a concept fundamental to such measurements in astronomy. It introduces students to the main concepts behind the first rung of what astronomers call the distance ladder. The four main learning objectives are the following: 1) Explore, in practice, a means of measuring distances without what we most often consider the “direct” means: a meter stick; 2) Understand the limits of a method through the exploration of uncertainties; 3) Understand in the particular method used, the relationship between baseline and the accuracy of the measurement; and 4) Understand the astronomical applications and implications of the method and its limits. Students should be able to use trigonometry and know the relation between trigonometric functions and the triangle. A knowledge of derivatives is also needed to obtain the expression for the uncertainty on the distance measured. Students will need cardboard cut into disks. The number of disks is essentially equal to half the students in the class. Two straight drink straws and one pin per disk. Students will also need a protractor. The lesson should not take more than 50 minutes to complete if the students have the mathematical ability mentioned above. This lesson is complimentary to the BLOSSOMS lesson, "The Parallax Activity." The two lessons could be used sequentially - this one being more advanced - or they could be used separately.
This art history video discussion examines Medea Sarcophagus, 140 - 150 C.E., marble (Altes Museum, Berlin).
In this lesson students will see the different types of evidence scientists use to understand evolutionary relationships among organisms. They will first practice by using shared physical characteristics to predict relationships among members of the cat family and then use this approach to predict primate relationships. They will compare their predictions to evidence provided by analyzing amino acid sequences and build a phylogenetic tree based on these sequences. Finally, they will look at the tree in the context of time in order to see divergence times.
