Amusement Park of 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. Drawing on their previous experience with amusement parks or carnival rides, students will work in teams to do the following:
• Connect these experiences with a variety of science and social studies concepts, including energy transfer, ratios and rates, technical texts, multimedia communications, historical inquiry, and the influences of technology on society.
• Use mathematics and English language arts to research the background and designs of amusement parks.
• Create blueprints of their models, build and test small-scale prototypes, and develop cost-benefit analyses.
• Design marketing plans and infomercials to promote their models.
