Students learn about how seismic wavespropagate and how recording the waves allow scientists to understand where and in whatdirection a fault ruptured during an earthquake. Students complete a worksheet in order to gainan understanding of the process of triangulation of a quake’s epicenter and the different types ofseismic waves.2.2.2.4.

PLTW teachers signing up for a class first register via a dynamicweb-based interface and database to collect background information on their PLTW training,including the location of the STI attended, when they were trained, and the number of times theytaught a related PLTW course (if at all). The information is downloaded to an excel spreadsheetand required “student” information is manually entered into CCBC’s system.

Using this information,the students determine the theoretical amount of time it takes the robot to react to objects in frontof it using simple unit cancellation and conversion. Next, the students perform the experimentand compare their experimental results vis-à-vis the theoretical values. This leads to a discussionabout the temperature- and altitude-dependence of the speed of sound in air. To scale the lessonto the middle school level, the students are given object detection threshold values in inches,asked to convert them to centimeters, and perform experimental investigations to determine theachieved object detection distance in centimeters

The Fellows surveyed were eitherfacilitators of their own Math Club(s) or assisted the two graduate Fellows in FAME orEnergy Club. This survey was designed to capture the perspective of each person filling Page 13.1235.10out the survey with respect to the student, the teacher, the school, the Fellow or thegraduate Fellow. For example, if a Fellow were filling out the survey, then they wouldthink about their students in the OST Club when answering the question, “Doesparticipation in the OST Club positively affect the students

Thecomputational thinking tool introduced in this project helped students to approach problemsfrom different perspectives and to come up with novel and creative solutions. Overall thesuccess of this project was tremendous, and it gave the pilot school a project-based learningproject to integrate into its STEM curricula.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under GrantNo. CNS-0939059, 0939088, and 0939028.
