This book examines surprising cases of innovations sparked by accidental observations to teach about the amazing role of serendipity in science. The case studies presented seek to integrate engineering into physical science classes. Middle and high school students will learn to understand fundamental science processes while trying out their own ideas for unexpected applications.
