In this lesson, students explore the history of super glue and the applications of glues that can quickly bond two or more materials together with different environmental ranges. The development and application of super glue was Accidentally Discovered Twice and has revolutionized manufacturing. This case can be used as a way to integrate engineering into a lesson on chemistry involving bonding, polymers, and how the environment affects properties of materials. A materials list, teacher notes, teacher background information, safety notes, standards, assessment, resources, and references are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, About the Authors, Acknowledgments, Introduction, Appendix, Image Credits, and Index.
