Engineering

• Massachusetts Technology/Engineering High School Learning Standards
• Content Standards
• 1. Engineering Design
• Broad Concept: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a problem or meet a challenge.

Technology

• Massachusetts Technology/Engineering High School Learning Standards
• Content Standards
• Construction Technologies …
• 2.4 Identify and explain the purposes of common tools and measurement devices used in construction, such as, portable electric drill, hacksaw, vice grips, chisel, tape measure, plumb bob, level, laser.

SCIENCE

• National Science Education Standards
• Grade 5-8
• Physical Science: Transfer of Energy
• • Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring electrical energy when heat light, sound and chemical changes are produced

SCIENCE

• Missouri Science Education Standards
• Strand 2: Properties and Principles of Force and Motion
• Forces affect motion - Grade 9, 10, 11
• Concept F. Simple machines (levers, inclined planes, wheel and axle, pulleys) affect the forces applied to an object and/or direction of movement as work is done

ART

• Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
• for Fine Arts High School
• Creative expression/performance. The student expresses ideas through original artworks, using a variety of media with appropriate skill.
• The student is expected to:
• create visual solutions by elaborating on direct observation, experiences, and imagination;
• create designs for practical applications; and
• demonstrate effective use of art media and tools in design, drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

• PIE PEDAGOGY
• In the boxes on the following pages are the responses that were noted during the course of our discussion.

Learning Goals

• What are the content, skills, and attitudes learned in PIE activities?
• or
• What would you like your audience to get out of a PIE activity that you do with them?
• What content? What skills? What attitudes?
