Hilliker, Joby; Shannon Hilliker – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
This article presents a semester-long, interdisciplinary project-based learning (PBL) suitable for secondary and postsecondary students enrolled in a second-semester (i.e., intermediate) meteorology course. This case-study approach builds on the research question "What atmospheric conditions lead to tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds…

Kristin L. Cook; Sarah B. Bush – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2015
As science teacher educators attempt to prepare teachers to underscore the aims of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013) alongside the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (NGAC and CCSSO, 2010), they must pay close attention to the intersection of these two content areas. To address this challenge, the authors (a…

Two Year Community: Design and Components of a Two-Year College Interdisciplinary Field-Study Course
Wolfe, Benjamin A.; Martin, Todd C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2013
Interdisciplinary field study courses at 2-year colleges can provide an opportunity to enhance student learning. The authors present here an 11-day interdisciplinary field-study course designed for nonscience majors at a 2-year college. Using a theoretical learning framework that emphasizes cognitive and metacognitive gains, the field study…
