GK 12 PROJECT NSF PROJECT: CREATION OF A BIOSENSOR

Central High

Elaine Keel, Thomas Murray, Wayne Doerr, Perry Gridley,( Rachelle Vigil & Ben Locascio associates )

PHYSICS

Is there a nationalized standardized test for physics Focus on concepts Pre/post test Essay way to do test Real world connections to physics Geometry in electrical settings involving physics

CHEMISTRY

Bonding theoriesTime frame mid October or first week of November (another best fit might be by Skype

Ionic and covalent bonding Multiple classes could be covered in a day Models of organic compounds

NO in the research

CHEMISTRY

Polymers Lab Skype Do her lab when she comes.

We do this lab but since it is at the end of year as more of a “filler” we never see how it works structurally in molecular form. That needs to emphasized and you know how to

This fall the silly putty lab activitycoordinate the classes to have all level “see it”

CHEMISTRY

Spring semester Reaction Rates

January or February target time Ours are the penny labs Luminal /bleach lab

• Rate of reaction with connection to the project Connect to math model real vs. theory

• HALF LIFE GRAPHING RELATIONSHIPS

CHEMISTRY

Acid/Base; oxidation & reduction Best February time frame; another Skype event? pH implications in the project

How it impacted results and reset the focus for the project

BIOLOGY

Neurons Synaptic “reactions”

Drugs in the synaptic transfer

Cell movement in ovary

GEOMETRY, TRIGONOMETRY & STATISTICS

Shape of surface and contact capacity Which geometrical shape works best based on

graphical data

APPROACHES TO CHANGING LEARNING OUTCOMES

Dialogues Use of labs to see integration between

disciplines Build a neuron-axon

Major painting on hall wall of it Find ways for kids to respond to what impact was

on them Try true k-12 classroom actions Inter-disciplinary (art & writing??????) Find a way to truly measure you got what were

targeting Elaine/Ben see Linda’s & Krystle’s units

WHAT WE WILL BE DOING

Use our lessons and labs when possible in their classes. Interact with CSU fellows with questions in support of them delivering the lessons.

Connect with other GK-12 project teachers to share ideas and support instruction.

Participate in two fellow to classroom/student Skype sessions per semester.

Help organize a CSU fellow visit day to their school during the academic year.

Two teachers will participate in the summer workshops here at CSU this summer to build bridges and collaborations with local teachers.
