Rockets, Radar, & Robotics Technology- Based Writing Lessons

Designed especially for those techies-in-training or newbie nerds, Rockets, Radar, and Robotics introduces middle school students to the Institute for Excellence in Writing models and stylistic techniques using technology as the subject material. Students will enjoy learning how the military is using iPods, how radar was developed, and what makes rockets work. Thirty lessons contain checklists and sources, along with teacher’s notes in a complimentary, separate e-book. The author’s son originally conceived the concept for this fascinating book and collaborated throughout the project. 119 pages.

Interesting assignments throughout include ideas and subjects such as - touchscreens, capacitors, virtual keyboards, silent flight technology, hackers,  apps that determine the trajectory of a bullet, computer chips, and let's not forget to mention... how a paragraph is like a hamburger.
