Scientific Practices Post #1: Model Building
Shelly Belleau | Thu, 08/28/2014 - 18:06
Through a series of three blog posts, I’d like to share my thoughts about these scientific practices and how we might communicate about these practices to middle and high school students. I’d love to hear your thoughts along the way! Let’s start with model building…
A Modeling Approach to Energy Storage and Transfer
Erica Posthuma | Sat, 05/03/2014 - 15:57
From the misconceptions fostered by the biology textbooks using the phrase “high-energy phosphate bond” to idea that energy comes in different forms, the Modeling community recognizes the challenges of teaching the energy concept and has developed a way of talking about energy designed to help students construct a consistent and cohesive model.

Energizer Lab - A Target Inquiry Activity
Deanna Cullen | Wed, 10/10/2012 - 14:58
This lab was written as part of the Target Inquiry program at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Students build an electrochemical cell, learn about the symbolic equations used in electrochemistry and manipulate a model representing the particulate level of what is happening during the electrochemical process.
