Mathematical Patterns as they Relate to the Real World Through the Use of Technology
Patterns are one of the most important ideas studied in all disciplines. We are now recognizing the connection between biology and mathematics and how patterns discovered in math, for example, are directly related to the way viruses regenerate themselves. With the addition of new, advanced technology and Internet access, students from ninth grade through twelfth […]
Stain Glass Mosaic Panels for the Media Center
This grant will add a stain glass mosaic mural for the library. In 2006 and 2007 the art program created mosaic tile projects initiated with an NPEF grant. The National Art Honor Society, under the direction of Mrs. Gallagher, will create a mosaic that will flank the doors and would measure 22” wide by 84” […]
Enhancing Social Studies Instruction using a Multimedia Approach
The Social Studies Department requests to add LCD projectors to two classrooms. This is predicated on the need to enhance Social Studies instruction through the use of technology. This technology will provide not only the capability to enhance image projection but will provide a platform for taking advantage of existing software and academic support materials […]
LabQuest Interfaces for Motion, Forces and Energy
In alignment with the current application of technology in the physics classroom, the next phase of implementation in the program is to allow for students to measure and record data outside of the bounds of the classroom. A brand new technology has been introduced by Vernier in the form of the LabQuest interface. The LabQuest […]
Optimization of Science Probes using a Smart Board
Over the past few years, the science department through a variety of NPEF grants has successfully incorporated the use of a variety of probes, CBL’s (computer based labs), ProScopes, multimedia projectors and video capture into the course curriculum. This grant provides for two SMART Boards to improve the conceptual understanding of the student and increase […]
