Park Rogers, Meredith; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy; Nicholas, Celeste; Francis, Dionne Cross; Danish, Joshua – Science and Children, 2023
Representation in science is anything that stands for something else--drawings, pictures, graphs, or other representational forms (Danish et al. 2020). Representations serve as public displays of phenomena that make aspects of those phenomena explicit (Gilbert 2008). They can serve to make the invisible visible, communicate ideas, display…

Increased emphasis on standardization in primary grades can stifle spontaneous literacy play. The authors argue that allowing playful, collaborative, multimodal literacies into primary classrooms and specifically in writers' workshop can expand and enliven the way we see students' literacy strengths. The authors look closely at the unique…

Graves, Loren Adair – Online Submission, 2011
The purpose of this research project was to conclude if motivational graphing strategies, when used in Math Response to Intervention (RTI) classes, could increase the students' ability to reach their goals. To complete this investigation the researcher assessed the Math RTI students' ability to count orally within one minute on a biweekly basis.…

Pinou, Theodora; Flanigan, Hope A.; Drucker, Marjorie S. – Science and Children, 2009
Developing good record-keeping habits is essential for organizing, processing, and communicating experimental results objectively. Therefore, the authors designed an interactive method of teaching first graders to record, organize, and interpret data as they studied the life cycle of the spotted salamander ("Ambystoma maculatum"). In their…

Kovalik, Susan J.; Olsen, Karen D. – Corwin, 2010
This book examines learning science from multiple perspectives--especially a child's. The whimsical character of Mary Froggins guides readers through the steps of igniting students' natural sense of wonder, incorporating brain research, integrating science concepts with other subjects, and applying science to daily life. The authors demonstrate…

Campos, Jennifer; O'Hern, Joanne – Online Submission, 2007
This study was designed to increase student empowerment through the use of formative assessment. The targeted population consisted of first and fifth grade students in the same school. Evidence for the existence of the problem included teacher observation, students' lack of knowledge and skills to complete classroom assignments, and low test…
