Presentation Transcript

  1. College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Gina Barrier NW Outreach Coordinator

  2. Cultivate. Educate. Innovate. • Cultivate and diversify the pool of students pursuing degrees and careers in STEM fields. • Improve the quality of teaching and learning in STEM education. • Communicate innovative scientific and educational research to the public. Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics

  3. Outreach to North Carolina for 20+ Years

  4. What do we do? • S3: Sustained STEM Support • Teacher Professional Development • Equipment Loan • Curriculum Development and Dissemination • FREEDM • IMHOTEP • Photonics Leaders • NC Science Olympiad

  5. S3: Sustained STEM Support • Partnership with schools to provide long-term PD (1-5 years) • Customized to your needs • May include needs assessment, PD, consulting, coaching, modeling and lesson development. • Focus on “doing” science and math using TPaCK

  6. Our Web Site: www.science-house.org

  7. Technology Workshops • CBL Technology (Calculator-Based Labs) • TI-84+SE graphing calculators • CBL2 or LabPro units • Probes

  8. Technology Workshops • MBL Technology (Microcomputer-Based Labs) • ibook Laptop • LabPro unit • Probes

  9. Technology Workshops • LabQuest Technology • Vernier LabQuest • Probes • GPS Technology • GPS units • GIS/LoggerPro Software

  10. Rural Schools Equipment Loan Program • From each Satellite Office, technology is rotated between K-12 schools in the area for use in Science and Math classrooms.

  11. Demonstration Lessons • Science House Outreach Coordinators assist teachers who wish to incorporate technology into their curriculum with demonstration lessons for their classes.

  12. Procedures for MBL, CBL, and LabQuest Investigations Water Quality with CBL Details • General water testing information • Preparation and care of probes • Calibration of probes

  13. Why Use Technology??? • Students collect their own data for analysis • Quick data collection allows for more analysis time and further investigations • Monitoring several parameters at once allows students to observe relationships Water Temperature (oC) Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L)

  14. VernierLabQuest • Can be used as a computer interface, stand alone device or in the field • Touch screen • Internal temperature • Microphone • Stopwatch • Periodic Table

  15. Temperature • Temperature range: – 40 to 135°C (– 40 to 275°F) • Maximum temperature that the sensor can tolerate without damage: 150°C

  16. Weather Station • Temperature • Relative Humidity • Barometric Pressure • Light • Anemometer • UVA/UVB • GPS

  17. Water Quality Analysis • Temperature • pH • Dissolved Oxygen • Conductivity (TDS) • Turbidity • Flow Rate • Dissolved Ions • Nitrate • Chloride (Salinity) • Calcium (Water Hardness) • Ammonium

  18. Temperature Vs. DO • Water Temperature (oC) • Dissolved Oxygen Concentration (mg/L)

  19. Physics • Temperature • Motion detector • Force sensors • Magnetic field sensor • Thermocouple • Photogates • Accelerometers • Microphones • Current and voltage • Light sensors

  20. Temperature pH sensor Conductivity probe Colorimeter Pressure sensor Dissolved Oxygen probe Ion-selective electrodes voltage Chemistry

  21. Biology gas pressure sensor CO2 gas sensor O2 gas sensor Colorimeter Conductivity probe Dissolved Oxygen probe EKG sensor Heart Rate monitor Exercise heart rate monitor pH sensor Relative Humidity Temperature probe Biology

  22. Temperature Relative Humidity Barometer pH sensor Conductivity probe Dissolved oxygen Current probe Voltage probe Ion-selective electrodes Light sensor Motion Detectors Turbidity sensors UVB sensor Magnetic field sensor Earth / Environmental

  23. Impact on Teachers • Increased use of inquiry and laboratory-based teaching • Teachers are forming collaborative networks and increasing professional involvement • Teachers are leading and teaching other teachers • Schools are investing in more laboratory equipment • Reports of increased science enrollment, higher End-of-Course grades

  24. Impact on Students • Increased student interest in STEM fields • Increased student understanding of concepts • Recruiting of outstanding students for NC State
