The goal of this Strategies project is to expand and extend our understanding of integrated STEM learning by designing and testing a model for K-12 STEM engagement using a highly relevant but unexplored educational pathway to K-12 STEM – paleontology.

iDigFossils 1 year, 9 months ago1 year, 9 months ago1 year, 9 months agoHi from California! My students did the lesson this week and studied the ancestral whale bones, put them in order and started learning about the evolution of the whale. We are in the middle of research and building our presentations. We should be finished next week before they are out of school. Not sure if I can actually do the extension pie…[Read more]

iDigFossils 1 year, 9 months ago1 year, 9 months ago1 year, 9 months agoWe completed the post survey yesterday. Implementation of my lesson on the bathymetry of Monterey Canyon did not happen due to multiple technical difficulties with the STL I had for the canyon- it was too big; with tinkering and help from our IT guy the file was sliced and worked. Next mishap was with the printer and software; our IT guy updated…[Read more]

All of my students have now taken the post survey. I have just a few minor edits still to make on my unit. I am very glad to have participated in this project, and learned so much!

iDigFossils 1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoI finished up my unit this week, and have one more group of students to complete the post-survey tomorrow. I will tweak my initial plans this weekend and post them, along with my reflection. Last week was amazing with Michael Ziegler co-teaching all four of my classes with me! The kids were disappointed this week to learn that Mr. Ziegler had gone…[Read more]

iDigFossils 1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoI started my lesson on Monday the 26th. We took the pretest on Monday as well. I had planned on doing the printing Friday, but things are moving slower that I had expected. We will print either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I have also contacted a couple of paleontologist friends about a fossil hunt but I don’t have anything confirmed.

Below is my update:
My reflection document, photos, and an excel document of some pre and post assessments were sent to Pasha this morning. Students have completed both the pre and post surveys and my final version of my lesson plan was uploaded onto Myfossil earlier this week. I also have student assent forms ready for pickup or…[Read more] -

iDigFossils 1 year, 11 months ago1 year, 11 months ago1 year, 11 months agoHi,
I was wondering under what folder should we upload the reflection document. Since my lesson was implemented early in the year (August 22-23) I uploaded the revised version. Both pre-and post-surveys have been completed by my students.
Thanks,
Mayra

Mayra, please share your reflection doc and any data you have on student learning and their artifacts and photos with me directly. You can email these docs to me or, if they are too large for email, use a file sharing service like Google Drive or Dropbox. Thanks!

How do I get to that bone size app from Aaron?

All apps designed by @aaron-wood for this project are online: http://www.idigfossils.org/supporting-apps/
If you have a wild idea and feel that an app would be a good component for your lesson, please let us know!

I will be doing my lesson on Friday, November 9th.

Thanks for the update, Brenda.

I have an opportunity to do my lesson with more students on November 16! I’m so sorry to keep changing…I will make sure to get forms and surveys from the additional students.
-
No worries! This is a good reason to move the implementation date.

It is a great way to know how 3D scanning and 3D printing is being used, specially in science. Great resource for students as well. They don’t spam you and I believe you can decide how often you want an email from them.
