SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around developing a case study for high school students that integrates technology with physics, communication & IT, biotechnology, and design. The objective is to create a theoretical report that examines existing solutions to societal problems, allowing students to explore fictional yet relatable solutions. Key examples include innovative drug delivery systems for cancer treatment and interactive toys designed to enhance children's IQ. The case should encompass diverse perspectives from all four disciplines while remaining relevant to contemporary issues.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of interdisciplinary education approaches
  • Familiarity with case study methodology in educational settings
  • Knowledge of current trends in biotechnology and product design
  • Basic principles of physics and communication technologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research interdisciplinary project-based learning strategies
  • Explore case study examples in biotechnology and product innovation
  • Investigate current advancements in drug delivery systems
  • Examine the role of interactive toys in cognitive development
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, curriculum developers, and anyone involved in designing interdisciplinary projects that engage high school students in real-world problem-solving.

Hello physics forums I am newly started teacher at end high school level.

I am looking for ideas for a case which involves a course called technology, where the students learn how to create a product + one of the following four courses: Physics, communication & IT, biotechnology and design.

It's suposed to be a theoretical report, studying what other people have done. It would be best if the case covers all of the posible options, but with different points of view. The case can be fictional, but the students should be able to relate it to the world they live in now.

Any ideas or input are much appreciated. If anything is unclear, please comment and I will try to answer.

Is "case" a technical term used in secondary education or science education? What exactly is a "case"?
 
Wonderful question, as it is translated from my native tongue, I will try and give some examples and explain a bit. Case refers to a problem in society which has been or can be fixed and then that particular solution. Where pointing to a problem which involves solutions from all 4 courses is the dififcult thing. The problem should be reel, but the solutions can be fictional or still on research basis.

Examples:
A new way of fixing breast cancer with a new drug delivery system
A new interactive toy to increase the IQ of children
