Using Graphing Calculators To Integrate Mathematics And Science, J. Garofalo, F. Pullano Jan 1997

Using Graphing Calculators To Integrate Mathematics And Science, J. Garofalo, F. Pullano

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The computational, graphing, statistical and programming capabilities of today’s graphing calculators make it possible for teachers and students to explore aspects of functions and investigate real-world situations in ways that were previously inaccessible because of computational constraints. Many of the features of graphing calculators can be used to integrate topics from mathematics and science. Here we provide a few illustrations of activities that use the graphing, parametric graphing, regression, and recursion features of graphing calculators to study mathematics in science contexts.


Developing Mathematics Enrichment Workshops For Middle School Students: Philosophy And Sample Workshops, H. Keynes, A. Olson, K. Singer Jan 1997

Developing Mathematics Enrichment Workshops For Middle School Students: Philosophy And Sample Workshops, H. Keynes, A. Olson, K. Singer

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This paper describes our approach to organizing enrichment activities using advanced mathematics topics for diverse audiences of middle school students. We discuss our philosophy and approaches for the structure of these workshops, and then provide sample schedules and resource materials. The workshops cover activities on the following topics: Graphing Calculators; The Chaos Game; Statistical Sampling; CT Scans–the reconstruction problem; The Platonic and Archimedean solids; The Shape of Space; Symmetry; The Binary Number System and the game of NIM; Graph Theory: Proof by Counterexample.

One Hour Of Chemical Demonstrations, S. Solomon, M. Oliver-Hoyo, J. Tian, B. Brook Jan 1997

One Hour Of Chemical Demonstrations, S. Solomon, M. Oliver-Hoyo, J. Tian, B. Brook

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This article describes a diverse set of chemistry demonstrations especially selected to encourage student interaction and to be easily transported. The demonstrations may be presented at a level that can be tailored to any audience– from very young children to high school students planning careers in science. An ideal environment is a small classroom with 20-30 students where everyone can take part in the discussion. Once the chemicals are prepared, the collection of demonstrations takes about ten minutes to set-up, and one hour (or less) to perform. Very little is needed at the visiting site, no more than a table …

Richard W. Pohl: Distinguished Botanist, Marjorie Conley Pohl Jan 1997

Richard W. Pohl: Distinguished Botanist, Marjorie Conley Pohl

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

In her biographical portrait of Dr. Richard W. Pohl, Mrs. Pohl provides an engaging personal perspective of her late husband, his development as a botanist, his career, and his family life. We gain a sense of Dr. Pohl as a dedicated scientist as well as a humanist. Although Dr. Pohl possessed an abiding curiosity regarding all things natural, he is best known and remembered for his focus on grasses. As Mrs. Pohl documents, this interest in grasses began in the late 1930's and continued throughout his life-ultimately he was regarded as an authority on grass taxonomy both nationally and internationally. …
