Abstract:
|
During the past year
students from Europe visited Kansas State University to study scientific
aspects of the bicycle and two students from KSU studied in Europe. The
products of their efforts ranged across a broad spectrum of science and
culture as it relates to the bicycle. The efforts include lessons for
the secondary school in which students would collect data using portable
computer based interfaces, a radio program which presents the science of
the bicycle for the general public, a simulation of some of the bicycles
motion and landscaping of bike paths. This variety of activity shows how
students can use a bicycle to connect science, technology and culture.
