Web Page and Jorge Sarmiento Facilitation
1) State goals
2) Initiate Groups
LEAH: time keeper
JANICE: reporter
JEREMY: recorder
3) Web Page Ground Rules
Speaker -- Jorge Sarmiento
3-4 MAJOR PTS OF VIEW FROM LECTURE
Chemistry of the Carbon Cycle
data analysis // historical intersection with scientific data
decrease in carbon during the gasoline crisis
pioneer effect
causes of terrestrial uptake (more forest , CO2 fert, N fert)
scientific literacy
short term vs. long term data
long term trends
process of science
**system theory was implied/ interdisciplinary approach
several contributing factors (bio/geo/chem/social)
interconnections are crucial, but can stifle movement forward
history, present and future / projection of models
scientists must work with policy makers (industrial vs. developing world)
WEB PAGE WORK
Ground Rules
1. respect share time fairly
no side conversations
2. build on each other validate others' comments
3. No war stories no digressions, stay on topic
4. Speak for yourself, not others
GOAL: Develop a web page as a product of institute work.
Objectives:
aligned with NSES
cohesive product that is easy to use, informative, contains lesson plans,
references
Materials:
need to bring to group lesson plans, activities, . . .
Overall organization (format will differ depending on the campus)
princeton /rutgers intro page
speakers for each workshop
content of workshop standards
classroom activites
assessment
science content for classroom
detail s of workshop
teacher participants
mentor teachers (professors who are experts in the field)-- RUTGERS
How will the web page be used?
The need to find projects that are specifically aligned with the
standards (NSES)
Links from particular standards
Ultimate resource for science education
Standards at the center
Cross-curriculum links: Links to related literature and careers and
social issues, workplace-readiness skills
Interdisciplinary connections with K-12 curriculum.
Where are we going?
ESI Rutgers TOPIC : climate and oceans
What projects that are going to be on the website
Teacher activites
resources
inquiry
teacher mentor program and research (research with professors)
Leo-15 and Lab activities
ESI Princeton TOPIC : Global Warming
What projects that are going to be on the website
Develop hypothesis and test that hypothesis. These are put on the web
Teacher activites to show what things have worked for the participants
resources
Inquiry
Bio Princeton
What projects that are going to be on the website?
Teacher activites to show what things have worked for the participants
inquiry-based activities using the lens of motion
practicing inquiry-based education
Possible questions to address
overall design of web page
use of web site
contents of web site
communication about group projects
what would be essental to see/do on the web product
How can the web product be interactive? (links to video, other sites, other
lessons,
needs to be engaging from the start)
How might students/teachers access and use the information?
How would the standards be incorporated into the project? -- click on
standard to find projects, original lessons Create internal cross-
curricular search engines within the web site that will link with all the
projects that are submitted
What ed sites would serve as prototypes?
use previous years' WWNFF web sites
web sites mentioned in books
WARM comebacks:
"The best organized program that we had since we have been here"
It was good to establish what all ESI groups were going to do about projects
Glad to know that I would not be doing this web page by myself
Others will help me put webpage together.
Great to have lap top computer to make disks for each group
COOL comebacks:
Try not to spend too much time on group rules.
