Sintering ceramic materials: a module developed for hands-on learning

Abstract

This document is a lesson plan for a short module describing the sintering of ceramic materials for STEM outreach. Colorado State science standards addressed by the module are included. The module is readily adapted for students in grades 1-12. The module was originally drafted for presentation to children aged 7-13 at the Rocky Mountain Camp for Dyslexic Children, thus activities are largely hands-on, driven by physical concepts, and do not rely heavily on reading or writing skills.
