Wed Jan 09, 2013 10:19 PM in NGSS: Second and Final Public Draft
In tonight's very useful web seminar, Ted Willard alluded to pdf versions of the NGSS - even as he exhorted us to stick with the online interactive version. I appreciate the interactivity, and agree that it often makes some ideas pop out at you, and easy to clarify others - but there are many times I do NOT have internet access - even in 2013 - and those are often the times I have a block of ti...

Mon Jan 07, 2013 3:33 PM in 9th grade curriculum rennovation - text/topics
Hi - we are looking to tweak and renovate our 9th grade curriculum. We currently teach physics in the 9th grade. We like that, but in the last few years have seen such a diversity and mixed background of students that we are finding that it's not working as well as in the early days. (We are a private boarding school, with a considerable international component.) We think the NGSS offer us an o...

5 Indispensable Tool of Student Research
I liked the book when I bought it last fall; I was hooked by spring, and totally in love with it after one of the author's workshops. Written for students it is an excellent and appropriate guide for all levels of Student STEM research whether in curriculum units or full-blown projects. Great ways to discuss the nature of science, and terrificu tools that lead the students to develop all the skills we want them to develop. My research students are buying this as a "course text" (early reviews from them support my own).

I want to improve my students' ability to analyze data sets, preferably larger than what can be collected in class. These resources are primarily "first steps" in beginning to think the best way to implement better analysis strategies. Resources are not from a single age group.
