Most ideas take a circuitous path through the process

A flowchart depicting the process of scientific inquiry (nature of science). Can trace the development of different ideas. Gives a visual representation that the "scientific method" is not a rigid, sequential process that goes automatically from one step to the next.
The Heart of the Matter, report by the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences... - 0 views

The Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences asks us to join in a national conversation about the demise of the humanities in our schools. "As we strive to create a more civil public discourse, a more adaptable and creative workforce, and a more secure nation, the humanities and social sciences are the heart of the matter, the keeper of the republic-a source of national memory and civic vigor, cultural understanding and communication, individual fulfillment and the ideals we hold in common. They are critical to a democratic society and they require our support."

What would an exceptional middle and high school computer science curriculum include?
-
This isn't a complete answer, but one thing the very first introductory classes should require is that the students turn off all their electronic computers and actually learn to walk through algorithms with a computer that exists only on paper. (Or, I suppose, a whiteboard or a simulator.) This exercise would give the students a grounding in what is going on inside the computer as a very low level.My first computer programming class in my Freshman year of high school was completely on paper. Although it was done because the school didn't have much money, it turned out to be very beneficial.Another class I had in high school, that wouldn't normally be lumped into a Computer Science curriculum but has been a boon to my career, was good old Typing 101.

If you followed the CS Unplugged curriculum your students would know more about CS than most CS grads:http://csunplugged.orgIt's a really great intro to basic computer science concepts and very easy for students to understand. Best of all you don't even need a computer per student if your school doesn't have the budget,

Mr. Hsu's channel on YouTube. My biology students found his "cell respiration" song and showed it to me, which is how I discovered him. Really good stuff for high school science. My students love the songs, and they say they have really helped!
VCU Life Science Videos - 109 views
-
Life science videos from VCU covering topics such as evolution, genetics, biotechnology, research careers. I really like how the videos aren't just informative but focus on relevant or interesting topics, giving a real-world connection for students. For example, within the biotechnology videos, there is a focus on topics such as silk making, individualized drugs, tissue engineering, alternative transplants, etc. Videos tend to be short as well and won't take an entire period but can easily be incorporated into your lesson at any point.

Nice get! You need Realplayer installed to play the videos online or when you download them.
