MATH AND SCIENCE MINI-DESIGN BRIEFS

Students in ITDPT 364 classes, Autumn semester 1998, produced mini-design briefs using K'NEX materials to teach a single concept in math or science.  Each mini-brief contains a photograph of a K'NEX model.  Some are copied from K'NEX idea cards, some are unique.  Try them out.  When you do we would welcome comments on their usefulness.
