Statistics for Teaching Advanced Science: Part 5 Hypothesis Testing Using a Chi-squared Analysis
Parts 5-8 continue the Statistics for Science series to include the skills required in high school Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) science courses. In these workshops, we will […]
Developing and Using Models Part 1
In this 1.5-hour workshop, we will explore 2-dimensional modeling for use in Next Generation science and math courses. Whether it is a schematic diagram, a systems map, a simulation, a […]
Offering Choice Menus for Differentiated Assessment
Participants will be given an example of a choice menu to see how this assessment tool can be used within an online or in-person class. Assessment menus allow greater autonomy […]
Student-designed Experiments: Part 2 Helping Students Write an Experimental Procedure
In this workshop, we will pick up where Part 1 of this series left off. We begin with a list of variables our students have identified as potentially impacting a […]
Statistics for Teaching Advanced Science: Part 6 Hypothesis Testing Using the Student’s t-test
Parts 5-8 continue the Statistics for Science series to include the skills required in high school Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) science courses. In these workshops, we will […]
Statistics for Teaching Science: Part 1 Measuring and Reporting Uncertainty
All measurements include some degree of uncertainty or error, but how it is reported is decided by the person collecting the data. Because analysis is dependent on the data collected, […]
Statistics for Teaching Science: Part 2 The Problem with Describing Data Using the Mean
Often by middle school and certainly by high school, students default to the mean as the best way to describe data without much consideration for how they might defend that […]
Developing and Using Models Part 2
In this 1.5-hour workshop, we will explore 3-dimensional modeling for use in Next Generation science and math courses. Helping prepare students for a career in science or mathematics requires a […]
Student-designed Experiments: Part 3 Guiding Students Through Data Analysis
Teachers will play the role of the students, collecting data in their own homes and pooling their observations and measurements in a spreadsheet shared by their lab partners. We will […]
Statistics for Teaching Advanced Science: Part 7 Hypothesis Testing Using Tests of Correlation
Parts 5-8 continue the Statistics for Science series to include the skills required in high school Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) science courses. In these workshops, we will […]
