…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…
…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…
…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…
…Question Board with the driving question, as well as additional related questions generated by students. To help answer those questions, students generate data, including results from hands-on experiments, annotated computational…

…tricks of biology. Figure 1. Visualizations help scientists see patterns in data. (a) Raw data of atomic coordinates offer no clue about the structure of this biomolecular system. (b) Structures…
…capabilities, 4) technology-based systems that help teachers do their jobs, and 5) open platforms and technologies that promote innovation. To achieve this vision, the Council outlines a bold recommendation. They…
…Teachers and curriculum developers will be able to add goals, background, instruction, help, challenges, and assessment items to create an effective learning tool. At the model level, we will create…
…the drake (Figure 1). Drakes are essentially a smaller version of a dragon, and are a model species that can help solve genetic mysteries in dragons, in much the same…
…science is an incremental increase in confidence as conjectures become hypotheses and ultimately scientific theories. Our goal is to help students to interpret data and scientific evidence while explicitly considering…
