Humphrey, Patricia – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2012
An in-class activity is described that can be used not only to motivate hypothesis testing, but also to understand and compute the p-value and power in a statistical test. (Contains 3 figures.)

Putti, Alice – Science Teacher, 2012
This guided inquiry activity was developed to help students "view" an equilibrium system from the particulate level and make connections to their macroscopic observations. Part I helps students observe a physical equilibrium system in which water is transferred between two larger containers. In Part II, students examine what happens to a chemical…

Resnick, Lauren B., Ed.; Zurawsky, Chris, Ed. – American Educational Research Association (AERA), 2007
Demand for students with a solid foundation in science continues to grow. Also important, science education needs to ready citizens who do not pursue careers in science to handle dilemmas they will face in their lives, such as selecting treatments for diseases, evaluating messages about climate change, or using new technologies. Instruction that…

Zaikowski, Lori; Lichtman, Paul; Quarless, Duncan – Science Teacher, 2007
The scientific discovery process comes alive for 70 minority students each year at Uniondale High School in New York where students have won top awards for "in-house" projects. Uniondale High School is in a middle-income school district where over 95% of students are from minority groups. Founded in 2000, the Uniondale High School Research Program…

Sallee, Jeff; Meier, Lesley R. – Journal of Extension, 2010
As humans, we perform remote sensing nearly all the time. This is because we acquire most of our information about our surroundings through the senses of sight and hearing. Whether viewed by the unenhanced eye or a military satellite, remote sensing is observing objects from a distance. With our current technology, remote sensing has become a part…

Doherty, Michael; Fish, Vincent L.; Needles, Madeleine – Physics Teacher, 2011
Scientists and teachers have worked together to produce teaching materials for the Very Small Radio Telescope (VSRT), an easy-to-use, low-cost apparatus that can be used in multiple laboratory experiments in high school and university physics and astronomy classes. In this article, we describe the motivation for the VSRT and several of the…

Bellipanni, Lawrence J. – 1994
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if a significant relationship existed between the criterion variable of receiving or not receiving awards at the 1993 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the predictor variables of resources and facilities, resource personnel, personal costs, time, and personal characteristics.…

McCarty, Robbie; Pedersen, Jon E. – Science Education International, 2002
Reports that teachers in preservice education programs still view the teaching of science much in the same traditional ways as our predecessors. "The Oklahoma Science Project (OSP) Model for Professional Development: Practicing Science Across Contexts" will build discourses and relationships that can be extended across contexts to establish…

Demchik, Michael J.; And Others – Science Activities, 1995
Presents cross-curricular strands aimed at gearing science toward students whose interest does not lay in the research aspect of the subject while still maintaining the project format established as an essential part of the physics class. (MKR)

Lindroth, Linda – Teaching Pre K-8, 2005
Caught by a fingerprint - or is it an animal track? This paper suggests investigating with these science projects for Earth Day. Students love spy mysteries, and the popularity of TV shows such as CSI and Unsolved Mysteries indicates the fascination is not only limited to our students. Why not capture this fascination for your science classroom.…
