Sociedad Latina’s summer program participates in college physics
Reposted from BU College of Arts and Sciences Community post: Sociedad Latina Collaboration Brings Middle Schoolers to the Physics Classroom. Last week Paul Trunfio’s PY106 class paired up with the Sociedad Latina Summer Program. The middle school students from the Boston after-school program attended the physics course as part of an ongoing collaboration in the […]
Visualizing Molecular Networks with Food Coloring
As part of our curriculum and professional development efforts, we couple our NetSci hands-on activities with video-based activity guides. This activity follows from our networks in biology unit to explore the chemical and physical properties of milk, food coloring and dish soap, that create forces amongst them. Students will explore the following questions: How does […]
Engineering a Functional Pumping Heart Model
As part of our curriculum and professional development efforts, we couple our NetSci hands-on activities with video-based activity guides. This activity follows from our networks and electric circuits unit by engineering a functional pumping heart model to explore the following questions: What makes our circulatory system a loop? Why is it important that the heart […]
Electrical Circuits & Human Circulatory System Activities
Yesterday, Sociedad Latina’s STEAM Team “Network Science Club” hosted the first activity of a multi-part curriculum on the human body. This series of activities began with the exploration of connections between a simple electrical circuit (battery, wires, and resistor) and the human circulatory system from the point of view of networks.
Networks and Electric Circuits
As part of our curriculum and professional development efforts, we couple our NetSci hands-on activities with video-based activity guides. Our networks in electric circuit guide was produced by Michalina Jadick and Mable Lin. Our full teacher and student activity lessons can be found in our Development Portal.
Bucket Drumming
As part of our curriculum and professional development efforts, we couple our NetSci hands-on activities with video-based activity guides. For Fall 2021, this is our first one, featuring Michalina Jadick. Our full teacher and student activity lessons can be found in our Development Portal.
Network Science Workshop Training Manual Development
Since 2011, NetSci High has been developing and leading workshops for K-12 students, teachers and graduate students. Every summer we have hosted an immersive summer training “boot camp” that led to yearlong research projects for high school student teams, teachers and graduate students from partner research labs. We are now in the process of packaging […]
Hiroki Sayama Publishes Complex Systems Textbook
NetSci High collaborator Hiroki Sayama has recently published the textbook Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems introduces students to mathematical/computational modeling and analysis developed in the emerging interdisciplinary field of Complex Systems Science. Complex systems are systems made of a large number of […]
Graphr: Visualizing Congressional Collaboration
Graphr is an interactive software which visualizes collaboration networks in the 112th US Congress. Collaborations are implied from the “signers” on congressional statements. To launch the online software click here: Graphr Congressional Visualizer Some questions: Select 2011 colored by party. How many clusters do you see? (A cluster is a collection of highly interconnected nodes). […]
