Download or read book Place based Curriculum Design written by Amy B. Demarest and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place-based Curriculum Design provides pre-service and practicing teachers both the rationale and tools to create and integrate meaningful, place-based learning experiences for students. Practical, classroom-based curricular examples illustrate how teachers can engage the local and still be accountable to the existing demands of federal, state, and district mandates. Coverage includes connecting the curriculum to students’ outside-of-school lives; using local phenomena or issues to enhance students’ understanding of discipline-based questions; engaging in in-depth explorations of local issues and events to create cross-disciplinary learning experiences, and creating units or sustained learning experiences aimed at engendering social and environmental renewal. An on-line resource (www.routledge.com/9781138013469) provides supplementary materials, including curricular templates, tools for reflective practice, and additional materials for instructors and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It may be that I have stumbled upon an adequate description of life itself." These modest yet profound words trumpet an imminent paradigm shift in scientific, economic, and technological thinking. In the tradition of Schrödinger's classic What Is Life?, Kauffman's Investigations is a tour-de-force exploration of the very essence of life itself, with conclusions that radically undermine the scientific approaches on which modern science rests--the approaches of Newton, Boltzman, Bohr, and Einstein. Building on his pivotal ideas about order and evolution in complex life systems, Kauffman finds that classical science does not take into account that physical systems--such as people in a biosphere--effect their dynamic environments in addition to being affected by them. These systems act on their own behalf as autonomous agents, but what defines them as such? In other words, what is life? Kauffman supplies a novel answer that goes beyond traditional scientific thinking by defining and explaining autonomous agents and work in the contexts of thermodynamics and of information theory. Much of Investigations unpacks the progressively surprising implications of his definition. Significantly, he sets the stages for a technological revolution in the coming decades. Scientists and engineers may soon seek to create autonomous agents--both organic and mechanical--that can not only construct things and work, but also reproduce themselves! Kauffman also lays out a foundation for a new concept of organization, and explores the requirements for the emergence of a general biology that will transcend terrestrial biology to seek laws governing biospheres anywhere in the cosmos. Moreover, he presents four candidate laws to explain how autonomous agents co-create their biosphere and the startling idea of a "co-creating" cosmos. A showcase of Kauffman's most fundamental and significant ideas, Investigations presents a new way of thinking about the fundamentals of general biology that will change the way we understand life itself--on this planet and anywhere else in the cosmos.
Download or read book Investigative Work in the Science Curriculum written by Richard Gott and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers the place of investigative work in the science curriculum and presents the latest research in this field. The authors consider the theoretical framework which underlies this kind of practical work - what are pupils actually learning and what are we trying to teach them? They argue that the thinking behind the doing of science is at present undervalued and that this is something that needs to be taught. They present innovative ways of focusing teaching on particular aspects of investigations and consider the issue of assessment. The interplay between theory, research and practice will appeal to readers who are involved in secondary science education and who are eager to know more about the present state of knowledge in investigative work in science.

Download or read book Garden Math Investigations written by Linda Grant and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math investigations for use in a school garden connected to the Grades 1-6 Ontario Mathematics Curriculum (number sense and numeration, measurement, and data management). This garden math unit was developed to make mathematics more holistic (using all of the senses). There are eight investigations and each contains ideas for most grades from 1-6 within that skill or concept. This allows teachers to consider the range of knowledge and ability within a concept for students who may need support or enrichment. It can be used in conjunction with textbooks to add practice and skill development. There are many benefits to gardening with students, the exercise, the healthy food, the fresh air and sunshine, but it is difficult for teachers to meet curriculum goals while doing special projects like gardening. This unit is meant to accommodate teachers who would like to meet curriculum goals while gardening with their class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermediate Statistical Investigations provides a unified framework for explaining variation across study designs and variable types, helping students increase their statistical literacy and appreciate the indispensable role of statistics in scientific research. Requiring only a single introductory statistics course as a prerequisite, the program uses the immersive, simulation-based inference approach for which the author team is known.Students engage with various aspects of data collection and analysis using real examples and clear explanations designed to strengthen multivariable understanding and reinforce first-course concepts. Each chapter contains in-depth exercises which follow a consistent six-step statistical exploration and investigation method (ask a research question, design a study, explore the data, draw inferences, formulate conclusions, and look back and ahead) enabling students to assess a variety of concepts in a single assignment. Challenging questions based on research articles strengthen critical reading skills, fully worked examples demonstrate essential concepts and methods, and engaging visualizations illustrate key themes of explained variation. End-of-chapter investigations use real data from popular culture and published research studies in a variety of disciplines, exposing students to various applications of statistics in the real world. Throughout the text, user-friendly Rossman Chance web applets allow students to conduct the simulations and analyses covered in the book.
