Global environmental change. pdboyer Sun, 17 Jan 2010 19:47:30 GMT http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/mspot Access Excellence "Mystery Spot" Kindof a PBL based in technology with short lived mysteries that are engaging for students. Examples include Two Forks, Idaho; Yellow Jackie; Angry Red Planet; Croak; Arctica; River of Venom; and Blackout Syndrome. Many are medical based; others more science.

This case study explores the environmental effects associated with the production, consumption, and recycling related to bottled water. Students learn about state and federal regulations associated with the extraction of ground water and its potential impact on the environment, identify potential safety hazards with drinking water, and become aware of the economic and ecological costs of drinking water that has been bottled. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:24:58 GMT http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/modules.html Earth system science (ESS) analysis of various environmental situations using problem-based learning at various middle and high school levels pdboyer Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:15:13 GMT http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/climate/GCmain.html From COTF. Create an ESS analysis to predict the effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on the yield of hard red winter wheat in Kansas. pdboyer Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:13:04 GMT http://esseacourses.strategies.org/module.php?module_id=4 Coral Reefs Topic(s): Biosphere, Hydrosphere, Oceans   Scenario: Coral reefs comprise some of the greatest areas of biodiversity on Earth, rivaling the biodiversity of the rain forests. Like the tropical rain forests, coral reefs are found only in the tropical and semitropical areas of the world, generally within 30 degrees latitude of the equator. pdboyer Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:18:03 GMT http://teachertipstraining.suite101.com/article.cfm/science_case_studies_and_problem_based_learning The use of case studies in science is actually a group of methods used to stimulate student critical thinking and inquiry learning. Science case studies can be complex or they can simple in design. The important component of any case study is to engage students in the learning process as they use problem based learning strategies to solve the case. Case studies in science are appropriate for all grade levels in science education. The degree of difficulty increases with grade level. This is due to students relying on their prior knowledge and experiences in science, which influences their reasoning ability. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:23:23 GMT http://teachertipstraining.suite101.com/article.cfm/three_project_based_learning_resources Project based learning using all or any of the three online resources offers a dynamic approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges. Project Based Learning (PBL) provides opportunities for students to collaborate as they solve challenging problems. This problem solving strategy is guided by open-ended questions which drive student lead investigative processes. Student groups research the problem, collect data, and draw conclusions based on their findings. An example of a complicated PBL is assigning student groups to visit ten stations around the classroom. At each station there are different items. The challenge is to determine the socio-economical forces that drove those products into being made.

Arctic Alive! is not an information Internet site but an interactive, real-time, and unique web-based education program. It uses a variety of delivery methods and e-learning strategies to deliver arctic research to the classroom. pdboyer Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:37:39 GMT
