Welcome to NCSA CSynergy 2006 - Exploring Computational Science Education!
The second workshop of this series will be an expansion/in depth look at some of the modeling and visualization resources and tools that were covered in the prior workshop. The hope is that you will gain some mastery of the modeling and visualization tools covered previously. The workshop is not about how to program computers for modeling.
 COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE TOOLS |
|
|
Tools include interactive numerical simulations, scientific visualizations, computer-assisted algebra systems, and data mining. Learn how these approaches can model phenomena that are
- too small (atoms and molecules),
- too large (galaxies and the universe),
- too fast (photosynthesis),
- too slow (geological processes),
- too complex (automobile engines), or
- too dangerous (toxic materials) to be studied in undergraduate laboratories.

| MODELING IN THE CLASSROOM |
|
|
Demonstrated will be free interactive tools and simulations that enable and encourage exploration and discovery through observation, conjecture, and modeling activities. Attendees will learn how modeling can be both a motivator and an enabler of evidence-based reasoning across the curriculum resulting in an enhanced learning environment. The focus is on how using modeling in the classroom transforms what you teach and how you teach.
The materials will be easily accessible and ready to use in your classroom.
