…own galaxy. Using simulated data from spectroscopy and other real-world instrumentation, students learn to determine star positions, radial velocity, proper motion, and degree of parallax. BARTy Modeling traffic data is…
…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…
Delve into a microscopic world working with models that show how electron waves can tunnel through certain types of barriers. Learn about the novel devices and apparatuses that have been…
…eclipse ended—pull out the maps and charts and study the slate of upcoming eclipses around the world. Where next? A cruise ship off Chile in 2019? A visit to the…
…a system. This activity focuses on potential energy and kinetic energy as well as energy conservation. The goal is to apply what is learned to both our human scale world…
…and amusing game world while also exploring authentic genetics. Using a dragon genome based on accurate, real world genetics, students make intentional breeding decisions with phenotypically and genotypically different dragons….
…natural world around us, too. And along with this idea that data exist everywhere, we often say that scientists collect data (think: collecting blueberries, in the spirit of the summer…
…everyday objects are assembled and augmented to construct immersive programs (Figure 1). In this environment, computing is done in the real world, on floors and walls, coffee tables, and kitchen…
…and what scientists need to do to better understand our world,” says Ed Crandall. He brings this sense of adventure to his life and his teaching. When backpacking in Alaska…
…together into one animal any and all real-world genes we’d like to teach with—without having to be restricted to a specific species’ genome. So, while our dragons and drakes are…
