The goal of this approach is to increase in the minds of non-science students the acceptance of physics as a useful component in general education, and as a major tool in comprehending the present-day technological world experienced by students outside the classroom.
Combining Theory And Practice In The Teaching Of Science Institutions: A Collaborative Program Between The City University Of New York And The American Museum Of Natural History, F. Espinoza
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
The National Science Education Standards contain several mandates that share the use of alternative and creative experiences in the teaching of science at all levels. An important feature of these standards is the call for learning settings and environments different from the traditional classroom in order to enhance student interest and participation in the learning process. New York City is rich in institutions that are ideal for the implementation of effective science teaching through the use of informal resources. This article uses the American Museum of Natural History as a prime example of this.

The Mathematics Of Information Science, J. Zimmerman, J. W. Smith
The Mathematics Of Information Science, J. Zimmerman, J. W. Smith
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This paper describes a course, The Mathematics of Information Science, which was taught at Towson University in Spring 1998, 1999, and 2000. This course is the junior level interdisciplinary course of the Maryland Collaborative for Teacher Preparation program. The effectiveness of the course in teaching problem solving techniques and abstract mathematical ideas is documented. The students constructed their own knowledge from laboratory experiences involving digital logic circuits. They were subsequently challenged to abstract this knowledge and to find ways to solve progressively more difficult problems using these digital logic circuits. The mathematics of encoding and decoding information constituted the major …

Mathematics In Hands-On Science For Liberal Arts Students, M. I. Sobel
Mathematics In Hands-On Science For Liberal Arts Students, M. I. Sobel
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
We describe a number of experiments from the courses called, General Science 9, part of the science program for elementary education majors at Brooklyn College. These courses provide hands-on learning experiences for students who are insecure and weak in science and mathematics. Quantitative thinking is a central element in most of the students’ work. Mathematics is taught in a concrete and intuitive way, as a direct outgrowth of their needs; first, in analysis of data, and second, in discovering underlying theory. The science program has been developed through cooperation among faculty from the School of Education and the science departments.

A Case Study Of An Online Science Fair- The International Cyberscience Expo 2000 (Ice2000), B. Murfin
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
The International CyberScience Expo 2000 is a project that promotes project-based, science learning by secondary students. The event was organized and held entirely online in a collaborative virtual learning environment called ScienceMOO. It was found that ScienceMOO had great advantages and disadvantages as a tool for organizing and staging synchronous online events involving large numbers of people. Scheduling of online, synchronous meetings between the students and judges was very challenging. However, when judges did manage to meet with students, many beneficial interactions resulted.
