The Vibes and Waves in Action GK-12 program started a workshop on R programming for high school teachers this week. Gk-12 fellows Cory Miniter and Jenny Au worked with the teachers from Math, Science and Technology.  This was workshop session one designed to give the teachers an overview of some unique capabilities of programming in R.  The application of mathematical and logical operations on lists or vectors without the need for creating loops was one of the programming elements we focussed on. We expect to follow up with another session soon after they turn in their assigned coding home work.

Medical field have been able to advance at a very rapid pace, from advance surgeries to developing medicine to cure many diseases.

This past week, I've been able to introduce the concept of sound to students in Mr. Vera's Geometry class. We started the class off with a DO NOW where they graphed five data points and labeled their graph on the x-axis and y-axis. Most of the students were out of practice, so this was a good refresher. This DO NOW exercise was important because during my lesson, the students had to take live data and plot on a graph and analyze it. After the DO NOW, I asked the class what they know about sound. Then I asked them how does sound travel. The power point had a good visual moving figure of air particles moving from an oscillating drum. I ex...
