- Abstract
The article discusses a classroom activity related to biomaterial science which was conducted by seventh-grade students in the U.S. The students were challenged to repair and design a bone plates for a 15-year-old boy's broken femur. They researched from the Internet on the techniques and tools for fixing broken femurs, and they were asked to create two design solutions. It was revealed that the research step was the most significant step for students to from teambuilding tactics and to establish a coherent strategy. Moreover, the project was believed to be a successful fusion of science and engineering into one classroom activity.
