Research often involves teams of scientists collaborating across continents. Now, using the power of the Internet, non-specialists are participating, too.

The "gold standard" of online simulations for multiple science subjects. There are also peer generated ancillary materials. The simulations are amazingly accurate (realize that you may be forced to explain the sometimes non-"ideal" results obtained because of attention paid to second-order effects).

The House has led the way to increase funding in science and technology education. It looks like Republicans have attempted to block it several times, and it still must fight its way through the Senate.

  Program includes materials to engage students such as virtual labs and interactive periodic tables. Virtual labs take students through as much detail as which gloves to pick and what to do when something goes wrong, just like in a real experiment. In addition, they send a chemistry kit for experiments that are not dangerous. The courses also include interactive concept maps that tie the concepts together to help students understand.

Making Matters! How the Maker Movement Is Transforming Education - WeAreTeachers - 0 views

module 5 design maker education active learning

shared by lkryder on 14 Aug 14 - No Cached

The tools and ethos of the Maker revolution offer insight and hope for schools. The breadth of options and the “can-do” attitude espoused by the movement is exactly what students need, especially girls who tend to opt out of science and math in middle and high school. However, hands-on Making is not just a good idea for young women. All students need challenge and “hard fun” that inspires them to dig deeper and construct big ideas. Making science hands-on and interesting is not pandering to young sensibilities; it honors the learning drive and spirit that is all too often crushed by endless worksheets and vocabulary drills. Making is a way of bringing engineering to young learners. Such concrete experiences provide a meaningful context for understanding the abstract science and math concepts traditionally taught by schools while expanding the world of knowledge now accessible to students for the first time.

Gamelan music was used as part of the intervention. Almost all of the patients had not seen or experienced the hearing or playing of gamelan. This type of musical ensemble consists of large- and medium-sized circular knobbed gongs and bronze plates of varying pitches, all arranged in pentatonic scale sequence and suspended over a trough-like resonator

This study examined the impact of Web-Based Learning Tools (WBLTs), also known as learning objects, in middle school mathematics and science classrooms. Survey, qualitative, and student performance data were collected from a sample of 18 teachers and 443 students. Teachers were very positive about the learning benefits, design of WBLTs, and increased engagement of their students. Students were moderately positive about these same features. Student learning performance with respect to remembering, understanding, applying and evaluating concepts increased significantly when WBLTs were used. Qualitative data suggested that a number of students enjoyed the visual supports, ease of use, and interactivity of WBLTs as well using technology to learn. Some students noted that the WBLTs used in class were not challenging enough and that the help features and the design of certain WBLTs were deficient. Overall, it is reasonable to conclude that WBLTs, if selected carefully, can be a positive and effective learning tool in a middle school environment. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
