TSM Integration Project: Integrating Technology, Science, and Mathematics in the Middle School

"Technological knowledge has existed far longer than scientific knowledge. Prior to the 1950s, the majority of the technological inventions and innovations did not rely upon scientific theory for their development. In the future, however, scientific theory will increasingly undergird technological development. As a result technology educators will need to incorporate scientific and mathematical principles into their curricula." [p. 17, LaPorte, J. E. & Sanders, M. E., (1993).
