Expansion of the TI-Navigator
Funds are being provided to expand a grant from the NPEF last year and will be used to add a laptop and presentation cart with an interactive SMART Board to the TI Navigator system. The additional equipment will allow the system to be moved efficiently from classroom to classroom throughout the Middle School and High […]
RoboLab: Team Challenge
Additional funding is being provided to enhance the RoboLab, which was initiated last year through an NPEF grant, by providing a laptop computer dedicated to this seventh and eighth grade science mod, making the system portable and giving the instructor the ability to design, present, and run additional robotics challenges.
Micro Dome – A View Port to the Universe
The three dimensional universe will be simulated on site through this grant. In two separate visits in order to accommodate all eighth-grade science students. A presentation addressing specific curriculum content objectives will accompany each simulation.
Stock Market Simulation
All seventh and eight grade math teachers will be able to offer their students the opportunity to research, “invest”, analyze and report on the performance of each student’s hypothetical investment portfolio, using computer-based research, graphing and presentation resources provided with this grant.
Calculator-Based Learning in the Biological Sciences
This grant also enhances an initial grant awarded last year by providing more calculator-based labs and probes so that all high school science students can quickly measure and analyze real-time biological data while working in small groups in their classrooms or in the field.
