2002 NABT Special Workshop Number 11
Friday, November 1, 2002
8 AM - Noon
 

Our focus in approaching photosynthesis and respiration learning is the monitoring of practical, real-world processes coupled with a new visual theory for integrating sensor, Web content, and animation technologies with standards-based biology teaching.

Do your students misunderstand and confuse photosynthesis and respiration?  Based on our new "Visual Space" cognition model, this hands-on workshop will help you develop visual inquiry teaching techniques that employ novel and easy-to-obtain organisms, Vernier sensor technology with TI Graphing Calculators and computers, digital photography, commercial animations, and WebQuest activities.  Explore respiration from making bread and sauerkraut to conducting data collection with carbon dioxide, pressure, and oxygen sensors.  Study photosynthesis from stomatal structure/function (with video capture) to biochemistry (via data collection with carbon dioxide and pH sensors).  Help students review, compare, contrast, and integrate photosynthesis and respiration by creating animated Microsoft PowerPoint® slides.  You will not only go home with some ideas and skills you can use in your classes the very next week, but also master the visual self-assessment approach we have developed that lets you track and benchmark your students' progress towards Standards-based biology learning goals.  We will help you revise your vision of biology teaching and learning for the new millennium by choosing appropriate and effective visual technologies.  Participants will also receive a resource manual, plus have a chance to win selected Microsoft® software.  

Summary:
Learn to use a "Visual Space" cognition model and easy-to-obtain organisms, Vernier sensor technology with TI graphing calculators and computers, digital photography, animations, and WebQuest activities to teach photosynthesis and respiration effectively via visual inquiry.
