eduvee The Science House | NC State University Expeditions to the Seafloor bj's MST The Science Spot Discourse Tools Mrs. Deringer - Life - Scientific Method Here are the Steps to the Scientific Method Problem: Is the question you are trying to solve. It is always written as a QUESTION and therefore ends with a question mark. (?) Background Information: Collect information about the question. Conduct research. Hypothesis: An educated guess, you have made according to the background information you have collected through research. Materials: All the supplies you need to set up the experiment. Procedure: The steps you will follow to complete the experiment. Independent variable: The one thing that you are testing. Constants: All the things that you keep the same between the experimental and control group. Observations: The information you collect by conducting the experiment. Conclusion:A possible answer to the problem.
Science Curriculum and Instruction - CESA 2 This page includes links to curriculum and instruction resources in science instruction and curriculum. Please contact me if you have suggestions or need particular resources. Tools for Ambitious Science Teaching - Resources for engaging students in thinking about science and talking about science in more meaningful ways. There are case studies by discipline and ideas for moving beyond covering curriculum to teaching the Big Ideas of science. National Science Teachers Association - Resources across all subject areas with fantastic conferences at the national and regional levels. TERC Inquiry Project - this site has some great suppot on getting students talking about science in your classroom! The Nature of Science - the new science standards include connections to the nature of science. Storybook Science - has lists of children's storybooks and picture books with connections to science content. Conceptual Understanding - Students often have misconceptions (list of many) about science.
Great Tools To Teach about Human Body in 3D Technology has radically transformed the way education is being delivered. It has also revolutionized the way students learn and created new learning styles that never existed before ( mobile learning, flipped learning, virtual learning, simulated learning, to mention but some ). Much of the human knowledge is now online and anyone with the right tools can access and use it .This democratization of knowledge has definitely improved the quality of education and increased the rates of all kinds of literacies from the digital literacy to the critical one. One of the best examples of how technology revolutionized education is manifested in the field of biology and science. 1- Zygote Body Zygote Body, formerly Google Body, is a web application by Zygote Media Group that rendered manipulable 3D anatomical models of the human body. 2- Med Tropolis A webspace built for the latest health information that will educate and entertain kids and adults alike. 3- Get Body Smart 4- Inner Body 5- Body Maps
MetEd » Home Christopher Columbus Awards » Christopher Columbus Awards Home Page 11 class activities with sensors you didn’t know your phone had Mobile devices can do more than we imagine! Rebecca and Chrystian Vieyra developed apps for classrooms to tap into their sensors. (Google Hangout screenshot) Smartphones and tablets are powerful devices that people use every day to make their lives easier. They’re even smarter than we give them credit for. For example, many devices have: an accelerometer that measures acceleration forcesa magnetometer that measures magnetization/magnetic fieldsa light sensor that measures the strength of lighta gyroscope that measures orientationa hygrometer that measures moisture in the atmospherea thermometer that measures ambient temperaturea barometer that measures atmospheric pressurea proximeter that detects when something is close Try to put a series of instruments together like that in your classroom and the price tag will make it next to impossible. That’s where Rebecca Vieyra and her husband, Chrystian, come in. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. This wasn’t the end of the conversation! Related
STEM Behind Hollywood by Texas Instruments Scientists and experts who consult on Hollywood films and TV worked alongside leading math and science educators to create free classroom activities for TI-Nspire CX™ handhelds, TI-Nspire™ Teacher and Student Software, and TI-Nspire™ Apps for iPad. These activities center around the math and science behind Hollywood themes like zombies, superheroes, space and forensics, and they give students the chance to solve problems just like real-life scientists using the concepts behind their favorite movies and TV shows. TI’s STEM education advocate Her role as one of TV’s most endearing nerds — Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory — is hardly a stretch for TI’s brand ambassador, the Emmy-nominated actress Mayim Bialik. “STEM Behind Hollywood introduces students to what it looks and feels like to be a scientist. We're making math and science from movies and TV come to life by giving the concepts a visual representation with TI-Nspire™ technology.”
