From loehman at aps.edu Fri Aug 1 14:58:01 2008 From: loehman at aps.edu (Ellen Loehman) Date: Fri Aug 1 15:00:25 2008 Subject: [NMScience] Math function matching game Message-ID: I can see that you could make sets of cards for your students to do this in class (probably with easier functions). Ellen Derivative Matching Game [Macromedia Flash Player] http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/47/?pa=content=viewDocument=2651 Once again, the Mathematical Association of America has struck instructional gold with this latest gem from their online collection of resources for mathematics educators. Created by Barbara Margolius, this derivative matching game presents users with a game board showing graphs of functions on cards. Essentially, the goal of the game is to match the functions with their derivatives. Visitors can begin by reading an overview of the game, along with some brief instructions, and then they should dive right in. The game can also be customized to match functions with just first derivatives or both first and second derivatives. Mathematics educators will have a lot of fun with this one, and even the mathematically uncertain can be drawn into the fold with this easy to use resource.

This temporary exhibit demonstrates how a wide variety of artworks can be created in response to the same political topic. Artworks on display both record and respond to the atomic era. The exhibit includes paintings by Hal Olsen and Reggie Behl (both local artists), lithographs by Erik Nitsche, political cartoons by Pulitzer-prize winner Bruce Russell, and others. The newly acquired triptych Ancient Inquiry, Contemporary Inquiry, Future Inquiry by New Mexico painter Edward Gonzales is also featured; Gonzales will be on hand to sign prints of his works.

This project can be used to meet Life Science and Scientific Thinking and Practice standards for any grade level. The close observation and analysis involved in this type of long-term study can really help students form a meaningful connection to the land. The procedures are simple enough to be done with elementary students, yet the data can be analyzed at any level from elementary to high school. Your students will be doing investigative, hands-on, place-based science, and having fun at the same time! Teachers may apply for the State Parks outdoor classroom grant, for transportation to the SMNHC site! The deadline is August 27, and the application can be accessed at www.nmparks.com. It is a pretty simple form. If you are not selected for one of these grants, contact us to see if other funding sources may be available. We will be studying two 50x100 ft sites on our property in Cedar Crest. One is located in a grassy meadow; the other is located in what is now a dense pinon-juniper forest. The forest site will be thinned to reduce fire danger this summer, so we also want to see how the area changes as it recovers from the thinning. Our basic research questions are: What populations of plants, insects and small mammals do we have at different times of year? What are the differences between our meadow and pi?on-juniper ecosystems? How will the pi?on-juniper forest change as it recovers from thinning? We will be setting live traps for small mammals and pitfall traps for arthropods, taking inventory of plants on transects, as well as keeping a record of weather data that may correlate to these populations. We would like to have groups come out a few times over the course of the school year to collect data and observe what's going on in the ecosystem. How many times and what you study is up to you; just contact us to set up a program that works for you. There are several different ways to approach this project. Your group could focus on plants or arthropods and compare data from the two different sites. Or you could look at both plants and arthropods to see how they relate to each other in just one of the sites. Or... come up with your own question! The rich data set we will collect can be used to answer many different questions. Possible topics include: soil health, native vs. invasive plants (such as cheatgrass, toadflax, sweet clover), or how the weather influences what wildflowers we see each year. We have all the books and equipment you'll need here for collecting and identifying, and our knowledgeable staff is available to help. Please forward this to any other teachers you think may be interested in participating. Thanks!

Microsystems, also called MEMS, are small and have tiny moving parts. They are more than computer chips which move only electrons. Where are MEMS found? In just about everything: controllers for your video games, crash sensors in your car, ink jet printers, million mirror DLP displays, artificial noses, and even in tiny medical sensors and actuators that go inside your body! MEMS make nanotechnology work; hundreds of companies are designing and making these small systems. Learn how these are designed and made, where they are used and how you can ride this wave into the future! What's a hybrid course? Part online and part face to face: Flexible course and designed to fit your schedule; study when you choose. We will meet in the MEMS Design classroom and in a real MEMS laboratory 7 Saturdays throughout the semester; 8:00am to 12:00pm each time - you still get Saturday afternoons off! These labs will give you a chance to do "hands on" activities including making your own crystal wafer design which you can keep. Work together with a friend; the online part includes all lectures (narrated - you can download these), animations, discussion boards, online chats, and internet research. Matt Pleil, recognized by former students as an "amazing instructor" will be available for extra help every Saturday throughout the semester as well as online, in person and by phone. Questions?

Companion Web sites for each segment extend the topics presented in each show. Launched in 2005, NOVA scienceNOW is hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and a team of correspondents who find creative new ways to engage viewers in the latest discoveries and breakthroughs from an array of scientific fields--from health and biomedicine to astronomy and Earth science. More than 20 segments are currently available for download at http://www.pbs.org/nova/sciencenow/download From susie at nmt.edu Tue Aug 26 14:55:01 2008 From: susie at nmt.edu (Susie Welch) Date: Tue Aug 26 15:00:12 2008 Subject: [NMScience] Earth Science Week Oct 12-18, 2008 Message-ID: <48B46DA5.6040809@nmt.edu> Skipped content of type multipart/alternative-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It indeed appears to be mostly true. The offer is for fourth and fifth grade classrooms and homeschoolers.

The panel has highlighted promising interventions to improve the mathematical knowledge of young children before they enter kindergarten. Teacher-to-Teacher has created a short film for schools and teachers to share with parents about what they can do to support their children's math knowledge and skills. We hope that you'll share it with parents during open house, conferences, or parent math night. This video and other digital learning opportunities are listed in the new Digital Learning tab on our website. https://www.t2tweb.us/Digital/NMP.asp .......................................................................... Digital Teacher Workshop for Teachers of Native American Students launches a new workshop, As Easy as Tl?ix?, D?ix, N?s?k: Tying Math to Culture The subject matter for this workshop is Numeration, Number Sense and Place Value with a primary focus on grades K through 2. Specifically, it shows ways to reinforce these concepts to Alaska Native and American Indian children through culturally rich experiences. The activities modeled help children to understand basic number sense and to solidify their grasp of place value. Central to the approach taken is to teach mathematics through culture and culture through mathematics. http://www.t2tweb.us/NativeAmerican/Workshop_04/index.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ellen Loehman loehman@aps.edu
