…data becomes exciting. The effects of these realizations stretch far beyond STEM learning itself. Each glimpse brings learners one step closer to seeing unanswered questions not as barriers but as…
…natural hazards, consider technologies to mitigate their effects, and use evidence to build student understanding. GeoCode will engage students in problem-solving similar to practices of scientists who study real-world volcanic…
Observe how molecules with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions move in a mixture of oil and water, and the effects on potential energy.
How do scientists detect planets around distant stars? Use this model to explore how a star’s movement and light intensity are affected by an orbiting planet. Explore the effects of…
Observe the effects of temperature on chemical reactions.
What farming practices can maintain good soil quality? Use the model to compare the effects of different landscapes, different crops, different tillage strategies, and climatic factors on soil quality and…
…We call this a static equilibrium model where the effects of independent variables are instantly carried through the model, resulting in a new equilibrium state. With this kind of model…
…over 20 years. So when Kerrie’s students presented evidence at a government hearing about the potential effects of the dumping, the data was so compelling and reliable, the students won…
…challenges for the Internet of Things, supporting kindergarten learning about matter and its changes, engaging students in systems modeling with SageModeler, modeling the biological effects of chronic stress caused by…
…investigate multiple factors simultaneously. Importantly, they can experiment with Earth systems in a holistic way in order to fully understand emergent properties like natural hazards and their effects on humans….
