STEPP Preview Recorded Workshop – TSAAPT Spring 2021
Presentation by Dr. Mary Urquhart and Ken Suura, UT Dallas
This is a pre-recorded virtual workshop for the NSF STEM+C funded project Scaffolded Training Environment for Physics Programming (STEPP). Intended to integrate with the introductory physics curriculum in 1-D kinematics, 2-D kinematics, and Newton’s Laws, STEPP allows students and teachers (or university faculty) to dynamically model motion in the word problems they already use.
STEPP is now publicly available at STEPP.utdallas.edu.
Vivid Earth Science: Video Resources for Earth Science Teachers
Presentation by faculty and graduate students in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at UT Dallas
The middle school geosciences video resources project focuses on plate tectonics.
