…never learn the fundamentals of “reading” graphs. The Graph Literacy project is designed to help. We have cataloged the basic steps necessary for interpretation of simple graphs and developed a…
…popular, education will also become more data-driven. Just as instantaneous business data helps people stay in business, dynamic, fine-grained learning data may help teachers respond to students’ needs more quickly…
…and planning investigations. To facilitate these key practices, the curriculum emphasizes: student experience of phenomena through teacher-led demonstrations and student-run experiments integrating simulations that help students explore related phenomena conducting…
…will use Geniverse to help connect underserved students with local biotechnology professionals. By deepening its gaming aspects and revising content to more fully target middle school biology, we plan to…
…a discipline and from computational thinking. Data scientists help turn data into useful stuff, whether for business, science, government or education. Data science education will help students become data scientists….
…as physical models to help students visualize and develop an understanding of the principles that govern interactions at very small scales. We contextualized the units by using phenomena that apply…
…include dynamic technology-based visualizations and model-based inquiry and help demonstrate the possibilities opened up when opportunities to learn about fundamental science concepts are provided at an early age. The project…
…fantastical—Google Cardboard to the HTC VIVE—we’re exploring approaches and technologies that blend the real world with the virtual or immerse users in an imagined space to help students understand the…
…students can meaningfully crowdsolve energy problems in out-of-school time with the assistance of scientists and engineers. These crowdsourcing projects can potentially turn millions of students into “change makers” to help…
…can “print” out their houses, cut out all the pieces, and assemble them. We feel that computer-aided design tools such as Energy3D would be a big help to students when…
