A Twofold Approach To Addressing Under-Representation In Science, Matt Harding

Science Education Update Conference Documents

I teach in one of the largest public school districts in Iowa, and have always been bothered by how the demographics of my course rosters differ significantly from the diverse enrollment at my school. My talk will address some of what can be done to reduce gate keeping that limits opportunities for students that might not typically take courses like AP Physics, how I have managed to push-in to our ELL introductory science course with many of the same activities that I use in my grade level and AP physics courses, as well as my experience with AIP's STEP UP …

Is There Life In Space? How Do We Find Exoplanets?, Deetta Johnson

Science Education Update Conference Documents

Two separate sessions are being presented. You can attend one or both sessions. In the first hands-on session, participants will simulate the transit method of finding exoplanets by looking at star dimming. This activity uses accessible materials and shows students how scientists look for habitable planets outside our solar system. In the second session, participants will learn how students use the scientific method to make concrete samples and test them for strength. Students love doing this while learning about a natural resource important to Iowa. Student-made concrete samples will be shared. Appropriate for both Earth and Physical Sciences.
