This activity from the Florida Advanced Technological Education (FLATE) Center uses two lessons centered around a chocolate factory to help students better understand the "general properties of melting points and emulsions." The first activity, intended for middle or high school students, asks the class reviews emulsion principles and theory before giving them a 'design problem' to guide them in the creation of a candy bar based on what they know about emulsions. A second activity, intended only for high school classes, asks students to compare the composition and melting time of several different kinds of chocolate. Both activities utilize group work and experimentation, and expect the class to report back with findings and recommendations. Materials for the first activity include a lesson plan, grading rubric, student worksheet, reference sheet, teacher answer sheet, and an instructional video. The second activity includes a lesson plan, grading rubric, student worksheet, and teacher answer sheet.
This page, from Science Education Resource Center at Carlton College (SERC), offers a number of resources for teaching GIS and remote sensing in both the field and the classroom in order to help build "geoscientists' habits of mind, which are essential for moving from a novice to an expert geoscientist." The page features information on designing an effective GIS or remote sensing course, including pedagogical approaches and collections of resources for use in the classroom, as well as workshops and events, and opportunities to get involved in the GIS education community. There are also subsections of the page covering activities, courses, data resources, other GIS sources, and more.
