Since this is the newsgroup I use the most, I thought I'd launch this
project proposal out to you all.
I'm currently working on a project with a friend of mine to compile a
list of analogies to use in educational settings. We feel that there are
not enough used in classrooms today.
We've probably all heard the standard "water flow/electrical circuit"
analogy, but we want to find as many as possible.
The subject areas we are looking at are: ALL the sciences, Drafting,
Engineering and Math, for kids in seventh through 12th grade.
All entries will be greatly appreciated.
Every analogy that we use in our project will be credited to the
originator. Also, try to remember the name of the teacher, professor or
instructor who first used the analogy so we can credit it to them.
Thanks,
I'm interested to see the response to this interesting project,
Sincerely,
