In this activity, thepresident of Toothpastes “R” Us company, B. R. Ushing, asks student to help with the processof ranking recipes from best to worst. Table 1 illustrates the letter B. R. Ushing has sent to thestudents. Students are asked to develop a solution to rank different versions of toothpastebased on performance, safety, cost, and taste. The datasets that are provided with this MEAare designed in a way that there is no one correct answer and students have to decide whichfactors are more important (see table 2).Table 1 – Letter of the president of the toothpaste company to the

When determining significant versus non-significant t-test results some sub groups wereexcluded from being included in the results. The reason for this is that we felt even though someof these subgroups exhibited one or more significant results, the populations sizes were too smallto be considered for any serious evaluation in regards to the whole population size. The results ofthose very small subgroups (n ≤ 5) also exhibited a lack of variability and thus could not have t-test results ran on them. The

What do they think about engineering learning in classroomsfor their children?” The answers to these questions will help researchers, educators andpolicymakers in considering the role that parental involvement plays in motivating studentstowards engineering. The following research questions guided this study: a) Are parents aware of the inclusion of engineering learning activities in any P-12 classrooms? b) Are parents interested in receiving any information regarding engineering education for their children? If yes, by what means do they prefer to receive that information

In summary, the followingtwo interrelationships between science and engineering are the primary ways that we haveconfirmed that the engineering design process is embedded in our energy science curriculum andPD: Type A: Teachers/students used their scientific findings as the basis to design something. Type B: Teachers/students implemented the engineering design process in order to prepare to conduct scientific inquiry.Expansion on how these two types of interrelationships were discovered as outcomes of the

As a class, the number of households in the U.S. was calculatedand the students determined that each household spends about $60 annually on standbyelectricity. This led to a discussion of what they can do to reduce the energy used in their home(i.e. unplugging devices when not in use, turn off lights when leaving a room, and turning onwater only when it is being used, etc.). As is illustrated in Appendix B, the computationscompleted by the advanced class were more mathematically complex than that required of theregular class.
