except where the dye is concentrated (at the cancer cells). This produces alocalized heating, thus killing the cells in that region (the cancer cells). This type of experiment is obviously beyond the scope of a middle school or high school.However, the underlying concept, that light of different wave lengths interacts differentlydepending upon the properties of the target, translates easily. The experiment to be conducted atthe high school level consists of focusing a high powered halogen light through a colored filteronto a colored candle. For example, the light passing through a blue filter is mainly in the bluewave lengths. However, a candle that appears blue does so because it absorbs all of the otherwave lengths except blue. Thus a

Therefore,engineering has the potential to provide an entry point for teaching science in new ways. Thisrenewed emphasis on the application of science through engineering, as well as the newapproach to teaching science will require science educators to adjust their thinking.Along with new possibilities offered by engineering, it important to remember that it adds thechallenge of understanding a new, and often-unfamiliar, content area. Research has shown thatmany K-12 teachers are resistant and feel unprepared to teach engineering due to a self-describedlack of understanding and confidence.10,11 Wendell et al.12 and Lee and Strobel11 also found

The surplus resources can be reinvested in better health care,crime prevention, environmental protection, infrastructure improvement and education at alllevels from K-12 through graduate school.However the systems model can also operate in reverse creating a “vicious cycle.” In the viciouscycle, people in society tend to become less productive and less satisfied.
