Computerized Simulation as an Inquiry Tool.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mintz, Rachel – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Investigated the effects of studying an ecological system via computer simulation on 14- and 15-year-old students' (n=9) abilities to pose hypotheses; control and manipulate variables; and learn via icon, graph, and table display formats. Working with a simulation encouraged students to think hypothetically and test their hypotheses by controlling…

Graphing Skills among High School Physics Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brasell, Heather M.; Rowe, Mary Budd – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Examines the influence of two factors of the process of graphing on rural students' (n=93) ability to comprehend kinematics graphs on constant velocity events. Students exhibited difficulty in constructing and comprehending graphs of derived variables and were unaware of their own graphing skills deficiencies. (34 references) (MDH)

Problem-Centered Learning for the Integration of Mathematics and Science in a Constructivist Laboratory: A Case Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Roth, Wolff-Michael – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Provides an example of the integration of science and mathematics learning of one high school physics student in a constructivist classroom. Discusses the student's integration of mathematical and nonmathematical representations and of different mathematical representations in a nonuniform acceleration experiment. Describes a model for integrating…
