How Big Is Our Sun?, Mark Moldwin
Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications
Putting large numbers into human perspective by using ratios of a known quantity to an unknown quantity is an important scientific skill. An astronomy activity that encourages the use of estimation and helps students get a handle on large numbers is the making of a scale model of Earth and Sun that is relative in both size and distance.

A General Chemistry Course For Prospective Elementary School Teachers, M. S. Lazarus
A General Chemistry Course For Prospective Elementary School Teachers, M. S. Lazarus
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
The paper describes a general chemistry course designed for students who are planning to become elementary school teachers. The course has been structured so as to transmit the fun and excitement of experiencing chemistry and uncovering its basic principles by centering on laboratory and other discovery experiences. In addition, the course uses peer led workshops in which the students discuss these experiences. The course is thus a product of a particularly strong collaboration between public schools and college faculties. It is going to become a part of a new four-course sequence that will be required of all students intending to …

Mathematics Without Lectures: Small-Group Learning At New York University, A. Adler
Mathematics Without Lectures: Small-Group Learning At New York University, A. Adler
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This article describes an effort to introduce small-group learning into the mathematics curriculum for the non-specialist at New York University. Starting in spring 1999, students were offered the choice of fulfilling their mathematics requirement in a small-group environment that included no formal lectures. The goal of these groups is to make the transition from relatively inactive, even passive, lectures to an experience that actively engages students in the process of doing mathematics. Contact time was restricted to two weekly classes run by a graduate student and was limited to enrollments of 15-16 students. The course is a small-group version of …
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.
Bridging The Gap Between Schools And Non-Formal Science Institutions: Using New York City's Non-Formal Resources To Teach Science, P. Fraser-Abder
Bridging The Gap Between Schools And Non-Formal Science Institutions: Using New York City's Non-Formal Resources To Teach Science, P. Fraser-Abder
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Effective science teaching and learning needs to take place in an environment in which the formal and non-formal worlds of science combine their expertise and resources. Science learning and ultimately, scientific literacy for all depends on the teaching that occurs both in schools and in non-formal settings. As we move towards the attainment of scientific literacy for all, it is becoming more imperative that we recognize and utilize the media, industry education programs, non-formal science centers, museums, and other science learning outlets as valuable segments of our nation’s science education infrastructure. This paper describes the context, rationale, and outline of …
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.

Using Technology To Enhance Pre-Service Teacher Preparation, E. Miele
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Use of the internet to deliver a portion of the content in an introductory science, education, and technology methods course for pre-service teachers provides an opportunity for a much needed introduction to basic computer literacy. A web page was developed for use in conjunction with the math, science, and technology educational methods courses at Brooklyn College. Students are introduced to this page as a group in the computer lab, and work in small groups with more experienced students serving as mentors to other students. The Brooklyn College Science Education Webpage is designed as a simple jump page with links to …
A Case Study Of An Online Science Fair- The International Cyberscience Expo 2000 (Ice2000), B. Murfin
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.

Educational Research Abstracts, G. Bass Jr.
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Editors' Note: As noted in previous issues of the Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations, the purpose of this Educational Research Abstract section is to present current published research on issues relevant to math and science teaching at both the K-12 and college levels. Because educational research articles are published in so many different academic journals, it is a rare public school teacher or college professor who reads all the recent published reports on a particular instructional technique or curricular advancement. Indeed, the uniqueness of various pedagogical strategies has been tacitly acknowledged by the creation of individual journals dedicated …

The Use Of Project-Based Learning In A Technology Course For Math And Science Teachers, B. Murfin
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
In this project, pre- and in-service math and science teachers used project-based learning to learn the complex skills involved in integrating technology into math and science teaching. The teachers in the course E36.1002: Microcomputer Applications in Math and Science Instruction in the Department of Teaching & Learning at New York University developed a four-week curriculum that integrates math, science, and technology using a common theme chosen by the teachers. The program has received very positive feedback from all participants and may be expanded in the future. Some recommendations are provided on how field experience in teaching with technology can be …
Using Undergraduate Teaching Scholars In A Laboratory Course For Non-Science Majors, T. Jordan
Using Undergraduate Teaching Scholars In A Laboratory Course For Non-Science Majors, T. Jordan
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Although laboratory instruction for non-science majors is a major goal of higher education, its implementation is often difficult in practice. Non-science students are often uncomfortable with a laboratory environment and require close supervision for the laboratory instruction to be effective. To address this problem, support from the New York Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation (NYCETP) was used to recruit and train undergraduate Teaching Scholars to assist in the instructional laboratories of NYU’s core science program. The Teaching Scholar was paired with a graduate student laboratory instructor to create a “teaching team.” Responses on student evaluations show that the arrangement …
A Challenge To All: Raising The Participation And Success Of Women And Minorities In Mathematics, Science, And Technlogy, Mark R. Warner, Loren D. Pitt
A Challenge To All: Raising The Participation And Success Of Women And Minorities In Mathematics, Science, And Technlogy, Mark R. Warner, Loren D. Pitt
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This issue of our journal is the product of a Virginia Mathematics and Science Coalition (VMSC) conference titled, "Programs That Work" and held in March, 2000 on the issues of raising both the levels of success and the levels of participation of women and minorities in mathematics, science, and technology. Traditionally, these two groups have had low rates of participation in these subjects, and we believe this situation can and must be changed. The conference was to Coalition's first direct assault on the problem.
