…overview of linked-hybrid modeling perspectives shows both micro and macro views: top down (systems dynamics) and bottom up (agent-based) models. Research in the classroom Depending on the type of problem,…
…and start modeling it by adding solar panels on top of the image. Alternatively, you can download an existing model on the Virtual Solar Grid as a starting point. Once…
…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…
