hedid not sustain the students’ interest with several hands-on design activities, such as building anairplane, a tower, a bridge, guest speakers, field trips, readings about the design process, andteam presentations, Mr. Q. was not able to pay enough attention to some aspects of the classwhich inhibited the success of the program. For example, the video presentations or activitieswere selected to reflect the interests of the students, as indicated by student questions ordiscussions. Gender and minority interests were not explicitly taken into consideration. Forexample, most videos focused on disasters resulting from engineering mishaps videos that mightshow the relevance of engineering to society. Furthermore, difficulties were encountered
that is known to have properties such as being symmetrical (no skew) and kurtosis (clustering near the tails of the distribution) of zero. Examining normal Q-Q plots gives an indication of normality. Freidman’s ANOVA is a non-parametric test of whether more than two related groups differ that could compensate for non-normality. However, there are only two treatment groups in this study, so it cannot be performed if the assumption of normality is violated. Page 23.731.9INCORPORATING ENGINEERING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE 9 3. Homogeneity of variance is the
multiple reason for this, the first and foremost is that the quantile rank itself is a useful diagnostic tool that will allow the researcher to determine whether or not a logarithmic or other fit is useful for the student data. Depending on the nature of the research and the exam itself, one may choose to use the quantile as an indicator that a Q-Q plot should be used next. Quantile distribution functions themselves can take many forms, for example, the exponential quantile takes the form, log ! (1 − 𝑥) 𝑄 𝑥, 𝑦 = − 𝑦 Where, x is greater than 0 and less than 1. Using a simple quantile

Use the volume demarcations on the bucket to determine the volume of water collected and the stopwatch to determine the collection time. In order to reduce the uncertainty of these measurements, repeat the measurement 5 times recording the volume of water and the time for each measurement and calculating the volumetric flow rate (Q).

’. Students were asked to demonstrate this knowledge by asking themto transform the graphs given different criteria, such as a change in volume, which is associatedwith amplitude, or a change in pitch, which is related to frequency.RSA Algorithm ActivityIn this activity, one of the most commonly used algorithms for encryption was presented to thestudents. The RSA algorithm uses large prime numbers to encrypt information and is based onthe idea that it is difficult to factor a large number into two prime numbers. Students were firstshown a presentation where they were guided through an example of encrypting informationusing the algorithm. The steps involved in this are shown below and more details can be foundonline4.1. Find two prime numbers p and q

Visualization Test. After completing the mental rotations test, students usedthe 3D Estimator to estimate the volume of six shapes, as in Study 1. In this study, each estimatethat a student entered was recorded and stored in the database.Analysis and Results The first research question was: Do measurement estimations of one-dimensional aspectsand computational estimations of three-dimensional volume represent distinct, separableknowledge components (KCs)? Determining distinct KCs for the 3D Estimator task requires theuse of a learning factors analysis (LFA) and the iterative process of determining q-matricesdescribed by 4. The analysis shows whether a smooth learning curve exists for a given KC.Smooth curves mean that the entire set of
