NAF Curriculum Library
Each unit includes:
– Lesson plans for the four academic subject areas
and CTE
– Relevant national standards alignment
– Teacher resources (background info, answer keys,
rubrics)
– Student resources (handouts, worksheets, labs)

11. Engineering in the Marine
Environment• Safely and efficiently move a variety of cargoes across the
world’s oceans
• Effectively project your nation’s economic, political, and
military objectives across the seas
• Protect your nation’s coastline, resources, and waterborne
trade
• Safely explore and wisely exploit the abundant resources
found in the ocean’s depths and in its ice covered areas
• Provide better boats and ships for entertainment, sport, and
recreational boating
12. Unit Overview
• Subunit 1 lessons introduce to ships and ship design and
provide some historical context to the importance of naval
architecture and marine engineering
• Subunit 2 lessons introduce the basic math and science
involved in naval architecture and other marine engineering
fields
• Subunit 3 lessons provide students with the opportunity to
apply their knowledge academic knowledge to a design
challenge
13. Major Academic Subject Topics and
Content
• English Language Arts
– Using figurative language, and writing short stories
– Technical writing
• Social Studies

groups
• Each student assigned a
different role/perspective
during reading and discussion
• Possible roles: moderator,
psychologist, lexicographer,
anthropologist, and many other
27. Life of Pi
• Assign roles within your group
• Read Chapter 37 keeping your
literature circle role in mind
• Discuss your reaction as a
group: After reading the
excerpt, why do you think Pi
was initially trying to save
Richard Parker? Cite evidence
from the text.

59. Implementing Integrated Curriculum
• Curriculum Mapping and Lesson Discussion
– Revising lessons: This lesson doesn’t fit my scope
and/or standards
– Removing lessons: We don’t have that subject
teacher on our team
– Adding lessons: My subject isn’t represented in
the unit
• Common Planning Time!
• We don’t have time/structure to fit this into our school year
– Single subject integration 63

Assessment
65. Summer Bridge Units
Measurement, fraction,
and percent skills are
applied to build the
most efficient wind
turbine possible
Graphs, algebraic
expressions, and ratios are
used to build and analyze
a transportation system
Scale, slope, and
proportional reasoning
are taught through the
design of an access ramp
and a remodeling plan for
a building
Unit 2: Blueprints and
Models
Unit 1: Wind Power
Exponent rules to calculate
the number of
possible combinations on a
constructed combination
lock. Writing and solving
equations are used to
“code” and “decode”
solutions
Unit 4: Safe Combinations
Unit 3: People Movers
66. Algebra Drop-In Units
Solve single-
variable linear
equations as
students build the
pieces of a puzzle
cube
Solve quadratic
equations to design
and play a game
with projectile
machines
Graph linear equations
to chart the progress
of multiple planes and
direct them to land
safely
Unit 2: Air Traffic Control
Unit 1: Puzzle Cube
Solve rational
expressions to
calculate the total
resistance in
circuits
Unit 4: Electrical Resistance
Unit 3: Catapult Game
Review agenda
Briefly describe history of AOE integrated curriculum project if NAF personnel does not do so
Review objectives, particularly #1
Emphasize non-scripted nature, and fidelity to intent, not fidelity to written
Curriculum is starting point, not ending point
7
Introduce two units
Explain that they are not necessarily semester 1 and 2
Describe what each unit includes (have them open binder to examples, if necessary)
Ask how many familiar with IED
Briefly describe IED if many are unfamiliar
Explain why these particular subjects were included in unit (typical grade 9/10) and that we’ll discuss what do to if your subject is not represented, or your team is missing a subject from this unit
Introduce first unit as culminating in designing and building a model ship/boat
Explain addition to IED curriculum (first semester projects didn’t include good integrated unit possibilities)
Doesn’t add much to IED sequence (can practice normal Inventor skills using this project, and a few days for building)
Describe importance of engineering in marine environment as a field
Acknowledge some schools aren’t near water, but marine engineering is still relevant
Review theme of each subunit
Review major academic topics covered in unit
Explain that introductory lesson always introduced the unit and is taught by PLTW teacher to frame the rest of the unit
SNAME (society of naval architects and marine engineers) produces a DVD you may use to introduce this field of engineering to students.
Contact local chapter for information
Briefly describe man’s history of seafaring (long-standing)
Use the next slides of various boats and ships to review the idea that boats come in many different shapes and sizes that are governed by their intended purpose and anticipated water environment
Introduce an English connection
Literature associated with sailing, etc, introduces and contextualizes the activity of ship design
One instructional strategy we suggest is Literature Circle
Ask an English teacher to explain and then summarize (or refine/correct, if necessary)
Review the possible roles
Explain that we will practice this strategy using excerpt from Life of Pi, one of the suggested readings
Give summary of book prior to excerpt: Pi is teenager, moving with family (and family business, zoo animals) from India to Canada. Near beginning of book, cargo ship they are sailing on sinks. Much of novel about Pi’s survival experience on lifeboat.
Have them get into groups, assign roles, and read excerpt, and discuss in small groups
Then discuss as large group.
Move on to Social Studies connections
World War II, many engineering innovations results from necessity in wartime
Give brief description of situation in Europe prior to invasion of Normandy
Point out primary sources in curriculum binder describing invasion analysis
Explain that Rommel was anticipating invasion and prepared defenses
Review each of the defenses
Have participants use page 1-87 to brainstorm possible countermeasures to defenses
Share out brainstormed countermeasures
Describe some of the actual innovations developed
Move on to Math/Science connection

Review this problem to make sure people know what’s going on and didn’t get lost
Volume of submerged portion: 108 cm3
Volume of total object: 120 cm3
Possible dimensions: 4 cm x 5 cm x 6 cm
Last subunit focuses on designing and building a model.
Also includes a geography lesson on waterways around the world and in English student apply the earlier lessons to write a short story that takes place on their designed boat
51
54
Test models
Ask for questions/comments
Review implementation considerations
Multidisciplinary integrated curriculum takes a lot of coordination, therefore you need common planning time
That should be part of your AOE structure, either now or a future goal
During common planning time, need to do curriculum mapping and discussion of lessons
Give example (can replace with your own example)
Review changing/adding/removing lessons, etc
Industry professionals, like Detective Holliday provide specialized industry content expertise
Industry partners can suggest connections that may not be apparent to teacher team
Students visit crime lab
Students observe autopsy
Detectives provide supplemental instruction, mentor students during investigation
Lawyer visits classroom to talk about courtroom procedures
Law professionals serve on the jury during the “trial”
Judges render verdict
Web designers evaluate final project to industry standards
Forensic scientists evaluate site content
