Fox, Courtney; DeJarnette, Anna – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
If students are asked, "What is the world water crisis?" how would they respond? In the authors precalculus classes, this question is often met with blank stares and students avoiding eye contact. Many students are unaware of the world water crisis--what it is, why it is, or who it affects. Even fewer realize the utility of trigonometry…

Arrebola, José Carlos; Rodríguez-Fernández, Nuria; Caballero, Álvaro – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Safe and high-quality water is essential from both the health and environmental perspectives. Water quality is so important that the United Nations has included water in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Thus, the adequate control and treatment of water are necessities. These tasks must be…

Scott, Heather; Huffling, Lacey – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2022
Immersive professional development is often used to provide teachers first-hand experience in developing place-based curricula. Knowing this, we had carefully crafted such a professional development for our participants to learn how to engage their students in local watershed research and ecology. However, following year one of a two-year…

Gunckel, Kristin L.; Covitt, Beth A.; Berkowitz, Alan R.; Caplan, Bess; Moore, John C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Nearly a decade ago, the "Framework for K-12 Science Education" argued for the need to intertwine science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts in performance expectations. However, there are few empirical examples for how intertwining three dimensions facilitates learning. In this study, we used a…

Trejo, Sam; Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria; Jacob, Brian – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Lead poisoning has well-known impacts for the developing brain of young children, with a large literature documenting the negative effects of elevated blood lead levels on academic and behavioral outcomes. In April of 2014, the municipal water source in Flint, Michigan was changed, causing lead from aging pipes to leach into the city's drinking…
