Presentations include student-edited animations and videos. Students and their parents continue to monitor and restore the slough's health with an annual spring clean-up, education programs, and native tree planting. Students connect science, math and technology by studying bird wingspans and predicting flying efficiency. Students use technology to gather and categorize information on DNA, quantify and analyze statistics, determine probabilities, and create presentations. His students take responsibility for self-evaluation, monitoring their progress throughout the year with individual electronic portfolios.
Kids study topics ranging from cell growth and moth life-cycles to geometry.
They use computers to chart data, design logos, market apple gift boxes, and communicate with orchard experts. Students get hands-on technology experiences that reinforce their desire to explore and develop new knowledge. This year's fellow will participate in an eight-week summer research appointment working with top investigators in their field of interest. One day each week will be devoted to working with other K-12 teachers, translating what was learned in the laboratory into classroom approaches to take back to students in the fall. Skyview High School students learn chemistry and physics using simulations, experimentation, problem solving skills, and web design.
