 We're embarking on the third year of our NSF grant, which involves the Web of Inquiry, our Web-based inquiry system. We're continuing our use of classroom formative assessments of students' work, both as a resource for supporting students' learning, and as an important source of information for evaluating a school's effectiveness within a state accountability system.

We are developing a new project, which involves using the Web of Inquiry to develop, test, and disseminate a nutrition curriculum with a game-like simulation called "The Care and Feeding of Virtual Kids." The curriculum is intended to increase middle-school students’ knowledge and understanding of nutrition, and increase their inquiry skills, communication skills, and interest in nutrition science. |
