Student-designed Experiments Part 5: Data-generating Activities for Labs and Computation
Student-designed Experiments Part 5: Data-generating Activities for Labs and Computation
(Tu Mar 30, 7-8:30pm Eastern Daylight Time) Whether in the classroom or at home, how do we initiate the process of student-designed lab or field experiments? The first step is to help the students see potential research questions and the data in the world around them. In this 1.5-hour workshop, we engage in several demonstration […]

Claim, Evidence, Reasoning: Helping Students Discern Fact from Fiction
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning: Helping Students Discern Fact from Fiction
(W Mar 31, 1-2:30pm Eastern Daylight Time) Information is available from an unlimited number of sources and accessible to anyone. And, anyone who desires can make information available to the masses regardless of its factual or fictitious nature. How are we able to determine what information is reliable and what is suspect? In this 1.5 […]

Math-infused Science: Part 1 Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data
Math-infused Science: Part 1 Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data
Students aren’t the only ones who struggle to determine the best way to display data in graphic form. Because there are usually many representations that can be used, and each may encourage the reader to make slightly different conclusions, deciding on the most appropriate graph can be tricky. In this 1.5 hr. workshop, participants will […]

Math-infused Science: Part 2 Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data
Math-infused Science: Part 2 Choosing the Most Appropriate Graph for Your Data
In this 1.5 hr. workshop participants will use an example data set from a Data Nuggets experiment to explore different methods of depicting the same set of numbers in several different ways. We will focus this session on defining the relationship between the research question and choice of how and what is represented on a […]

Math-infused Science: Writing and Speaking About Data (DBQs and FRQs)
Math-infused Science: Writing and Speaking About Data (DBQs and FRQs)
How do we talk about data? How do we write about data? In this 1.5 hr. workshop you will discover ways to help your student be specific, using the correct terms, in context, as they identify and describe trends in a set of numbers. We will play two games useful for building a working vocabulary […]

Approaches to Learning: Using Competitions to Engage an Online or In-person Learners
Approaches to Learning: Using Competitions to Engage an Online or In-person Learners
Competitions are assignments that guide students through a preliminary exploration, data collection, analysis, reflection, and revision in a repeating cycle. This process leans on the scientific method and helps students practice character skills such as persistence, curiosity, critical thinking, and self-direction. For my own purposes, I will differentiate team challenges from competitions in that competitions […]
