Description

Engineers play an integral role in finding a ratio of materials to maximize the desired properties and decrease the negative effects of other properties. Students will engineer a lens using 2 different materials

  • Determine the correct material and the concentration that has similar properties as a contact lens, while discovering the correct optical properties, tensile strength and hydrophobicity.
  • A hydrogel is a polymer like plastic, which has favorable optical properties and favorable flexibility/strength but like paper and glasses/ceramics is hydrophilic, which is necessary for a contact lens to function properly.
  • Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
  • Disciplinary Core Ideas: ETS1.A; ETS1.B; ETS1.C; PS1.A
  • Performance Expectations: MS-ETS1-1; MS- ETS1-3; MS- ETS1-4; HS-PS1-3; HS-ETS1-2
  • Cross Cutting Concepts: Influence of Science, Engineering and Technology on Society and the Natural World; Patterns
  • Engineering Practices: Asking Questions and Defining Problems; Analyzing and
  • Interpreting Data; Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions; Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
