Time Engineers: Engineering the Past Software Kids LLC & Valparaiso University 2003

This is a unique educational game which teaches math, science, physics, plus history to students while time-traveling through 3D interactive environments. It encourages trial-and-error experimentation, allowing students to adjust variable factors in their attempts to solve problems successfully. In Ancient Egypt, they experiment with ramps, workers, and the type of stone to build pyramids. During World War II, they help design a stealth submarine or a radar system. During the Middle Ages, students help design a drawbridge and a catapult. In each, there are several factors that students can adjust to be successful. The content, delivered through narration, text and interactive exercises, includes binary numbers, boolean logic, weirs and water flow, force balance and trajectory. It comes complete with an electronic teacher's manual (PDF format) that was developed to support your efforts in the classroom or home. Key Features: Made in conjunction with the College of Engineering at Valparaiso University; Provides students with opportunities to learn how engineering principles helped people through the ages; Captivating and effective program where students are quickly immersed in the applications of science; Students get to travel in a time machine to three different eras; Downloadable lesson plans at www.timeengineers.com; Comes complete with a teacher/parents E-guide; Activities are all hands-on and very interesting; Target Group - Middle and high school students grade 5th through 9th.
