Honors Expanded Learning Clubs
The goal of STEM club is to teach the students various basic scientific principles and relate them to experiments and the real world. In addition, the scientific method will be taught and be a main focus of the club along with the engineering design process.

Honors Expanded Learning Clubs
Afterschool club that focuses on teaching young students about the scientific method and the engineering design process through brief presentations and hands-on activities.
Mitigating Marshes Against Sea Level Rise: Thin-Layer Placement Experiment, Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve In Virginia
Mitigating Marshes Against Sea Level Rise: Thin-Layer Placement Experiment, Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve In Virginia
Reports
Students will learn about thin-layer placement restoration techniques by using data from the first year of a plot-based thin-layer restoration science project being conducted by the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia (CBNERR-VA). In groups, students will analyze images of vegetation plots exposed to different treatments and decide which is performing best and could be used as a possible restoration technique to combat sea level rise in the marsh. Students will also interpret graphs of vegetation percent cover, and use classroom discussion to come to a conclusion using critical thinking.
Teaching Evolution And The Challenge Of Intelligent Design: A Symposium
Teaching Evolution And The Challenge Of Intelligent Design: A Symposium
Georgia Journal of Science
A symposium titled "Teaching Evolution and the Challenge of Intelligent Design" was presented at the 66th annual meeting of the Southeastern Society of Biologists, University of North Alabama, Florence, Alabama, April 16, 2005. The symposium was arranged, introduced, and moderated by John V. Aliff. The advent of a "scientific theory of intelligent design" has created conflict in religious denominations, public school educators, and within the community of scientists who are being threatened by the imposition of a specific religious view. Intelligent Design theory is a new form of creationism that abandons the biblical inerrancy of the older scientific creationism in …

Food, Cooking And Nutrition-Engaging A Wide Audience To Explore Inter-Disciplinary Science Topics, Sharmistha Basu-Dutt, Victoria Geisler
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
Food and cooking have been a central theme in several courses developed recently at the University of West Georgia. In this presentation, the nature of the content and learning outcomes of these courses will be presented. A unique multi-tiered approach will be offered to show how this theme can be effectively used to engage audiences of all ages and capabilities to use the scientific method. Sample activities will show how to engage the young novice elementary student to explore introductory science concepts in a fun environment and challenge the college science major to design an effective experimental design to answer …

Papers in Ecology
There are few well-documented, general ecological principles that can be applied to pressing environmental issues. When they discuss them at all, ecologists often disagree about the relative importance of different aspects of the science’s original and still important issues. It may be that the sum of ecological science is not open to universal statements because of the wide range of organizational, spatial, and temporal phenomena, as well as the sheer number of possible interactions.We believe, however, that the search for general principles has been inadequate to establish the extent to which generalities are possible.We suggest that ecologists may need to …
