| Description: The Fun-Engineering Steam Museum story introduces young people aged between ten and fourteen to the principles of steam engines. It is also suitable for adults who wish to teach young people about steam technology and the industrial history of the Steam Age. Some adults have read it for their own interest and have said they enjoyed it! The story is presented as a hypertext document that can be read with a standard web browser. Blackboard sketches and other diagrams, some of which are animated, illustrate the principles involved. Precise definitions and explanations of technical terms are provided in pop-up windows. Notes for teachers are included. In the story you will meet Miss Tumble, a teacher who can really make concepts come to life. When she draws on the blackboard and explains something, you begin to understand immediately. For best results you will need a recent browser, the more recent the better, e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape version 4 or later. The story works well for a full class if you have a video projector or a large screen monitor. It is a good idea to supplement the text with your own comments appropriate to your students. You set up the hypertext story simply by running the self-executable download file. This creates a folder, fesm, which contains all the necessary files. Click on the file index.html in this folder to open the story in your browser. To uninstall, simply delete the folder fesm. Here are some of the benefits and features of the story: - Children can read the story on their own, in groups of two or three, or with adult assistance. - Children are encouraged to look up the meaning of technical terms by clicking on highlighted words. - For Chapter 3, you have a choice of an easier or a more technical version. - Links are provided at the end of each chapter to the previous or the following chapter and to the title page. - A comprehensive grounding in the underlying scientific principles is provided. |
