the initial and final (DREAM Day) I.I.’s were included in theanalysis. Comparing the DREAM Day data from KIPP mentees to the control taken post-DREAM showed that mentees outscored non-mentees on all four questions of interest(Q1,Q2,Q4,Q5). Interestingly, non-mentees post-scores were significantly higher than menteespre-scores on Q1 (74.1% versus 54.8%) and Q4 (70.4% versus 50.0%), suggesting that DREAMmay be attracting mid or lower performing students at KIPP. Differences between non-menteespost-scores and mentees pre-scores were not significant on Q2 and Q5. 100 100 AHS 78.3 80.8
CurriculumAbstractAs the United States tries to remain technologically competitive with other nations the demandfor engineering professionals is expected to increase. Since the early 1990‘s, many K-12engineering outreach programs have been incorporated into middle schools either through hightech electives or in tandem with the State prescribed math and science curriculum with the intentof fostering student interest in science and engineering. In spite of both approaches the ratio ofscience and engineering degrees awarded annually to the college aged population in the U.S. isless than in other countries. Furthermore, the number of underrepresented minorities earningthose degrees is 12% according to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering
links, when a previous mechanism had only two. Unconnected movementdesignated mention of the movement of an individual part of the mechanism without relation toother components. For example, one student explained an error in prediction as: “Becauseinstead of going this way (gestures to the right), [the link] went this way (gestures to the left).” Structure. This category referred to explanations that focused on the organization ofparts without mention of the functional relation(s) among these parts. For example, “I see two ofthem [links] joined together.” And, “I notice that [Mechanism A2] has a peg on this sideinstead of being on this side.” In some cases children noticed difference in the distance from thefixed pivot to the input link
modules, starting with the heat module (with electronic thermometer),and then working closely with teachers to use the modules in their every-day “in-school”classes. Another goal will be to provide “take-home-to-study” materials for students.Similarly, teacher education programs will help teachers learn about microsystems so they can“spread the word” to their students each day. Teacher education initiatives will include timefor teachers to modify modules to fit their individual teaching styles and classrooms, perhapsthrough Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) supplements. WIMS-based curriculumdeliverables will include numerous educational modules that when combined should lead totextbook(s).Evaluations of Pre-College Summer ProgramsFor most

However, there are also transformations that changes the shape of the graph, such asg(x) = 2f(x), or g(x) = f(3x).Quadratic Functions Another mathematical concept used in the demonstrations is quadratic functions.Students first learn that the height of an object in free fall follows this quadratic function:Where, is the height of the object (in meters) at any given time t (seconds), is the initialvelocity (meters per second), is the initial height, t is time, and is the gravity constant, 2which is 9.8 m/s .The time it takes the object reach its maximum height is given

This discussion is used asa starting point to have the students think about the concept of focusing on a topic. At this point, we have spent approximately an hour-and-a-half on material leading up to the catapult. Instead of delving straight into calculations, we have the students build a catapult from plans and parts that we provide. The catapult is largely constructed from foam core; therefore, we spend 5 to 10 minutes discussing techniques for working with the
