Why is Tracking Students a Problem? (Part 1 in a series)

Wisconsin Science and STEM Education

In conjunction with reflecting on these experiences, I’ve also dug through the research on tracking – turns out it doesn’t support typical school and district practices either. They acknowledged that they had three levels of biology, chemistry, and physics – consumer, regular, and honors. Let’s look at some research-based evidence.

What is the fate of dissolved oxygen in our oceans?

Futurum

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. This helps the researchers build up a picture of what conditions were like at specific times in the past. CHALLENGES.
