…events around the world. Cross-section of earthquakes in Seismic Explorer. Students’ hypotheses are then tested with the Tectonic Explorer. This 3D dynamic model allows students to explore how the movement…
…and pedagogical design decisions made to transform scientific phenomena in the real world into structures and rules afforded in the computational space and (2) to illustrate the extent to which…
…my students’ most important life decisions through activities and real-world applications where they can discover confidence, find hope, and begin to live to their full potential.” Favorite ice cream: Vanilla…
…real-world earthquake phenomena. In the rest of the activity, they use this code to explore why some parts of California experience many frequent, small earthquakes while other areas haven’t had…
The world was rocked by several large volcanic eruptions in the past year, from the explosive activity of Mount Sinabung in Indonesia to the incredible lava flows of La Palma…
…and generate output to compare to the real-world behavior of that system. When simulated, the model’s structure and the set of relationships between model components dictate model behavior. To assist…
…and participate in civic life. Widespread data science and statistics education is necessary to engage students in real-world issues using data. Since 2016, Lee led the National Science Foundation-funded Enhancing…
…we have created guides and learning goals linked to specific activities: Students understand models as representations that help them investigate the world. Students see the system under study as being…
…students to explore real-world rock distribution (using the Earth Rocks Map) and seismic data (using Seismic Explorer). While both are convergent boundaries, one is ocean to ocean and the other…
…help students model systems and explain real-world phenomena for the past four years. According to the pair of teachers at the Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center in Battle…
