View Resource Pathways to Scientific Teaching, Chapter 7b of 7: Coding to analyze students’ critical thinking

Using a problem developed from Guinotte et al. [attached], we illustrate a research approach to determine the effectiveness of inquiry-based instruction on students’ understanding. Two research studies, one in biology (Udovic et al. 2002) and one in chemistry (Wright et al.1998), influenced our thinking about how to proceed. Both are exemplary studies that examined the impact of active learnin...

View Resource Sea Surface Warming in the Florida Keys

This pair of images illustrates the rise in sea surface temperature in the Florida Keys between June 11, 1985 and July 4, 2005. Most of the surface has warmed by one to two degrees Fahrenheit. Rising ocean temperatures due to climate change pose a tremendous threat to coral reefs and the marine life they shelter. Global water temperatures began a steady rise in the 1980s, accompanied by coral...
