, although notaltogether satisfactorily. The post-assessment responses showed significant improvement overthe pre-assessment responses, but, again, this was not deemed entirely satisfactory for the cohort.Open-ended pre- and post-assessment questions were administered to the teachers. The responsesto these questions were independently evaluated by McGinnis-Cavanaugh and Ellis using thescoring rubric shown in Appendix B. On average, response scores went up 83% and 60% (seeAppendices B and C) on questions 1 and 2, respectively, showing significant improvement inboth the understanding of both basic mechanics concepts and educational theory with regard tostudent engagement.

determined byan alpha of 0.05 or less; (less than 5% chance of random selection providing results). The nature of the data collected for this evaluation lent itself to analysis by the useof a General Linear Model (GLM). The method of analysis for the data collected fromthis project was an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA The ANOVA, both factorial and one-way, used the General Linear Model (GLM).The GLM was selected because the data are arranged in categories. The method isessentially a form of regression, evaluating the distance from an “expected mean”,however the expected mean was not based upon the slope of a “y = mx+b” sort of line.Instead of determining the “expected value” of y from the x-position, the expected valueof y is

The students were then instructed to build an accelerator using 2 magnets, tape, a ruler and small steel balls (Figure 1 (b)). As they increased the number of magnets on the ruler this increased the speed that the ball traveled. (a) (b)Figure 1.
