The program reinforces mathematical skills, graphing of datasets, and reading graphs. This program utilizes the NOAA Sea Level and El Nino modules and a data science focused module while exposing students to large datasets. The Arkansas Big Data Science staff at UAMS has developed a data science focused program that can be incorporated into middle school/junior high science classrooms. The need for increased data literacy in middle school is important for student success as they move forward through high school and college. Middle school students need to learn about the careers that are available for them in data science. The program relies on the NOAA “data in the classroom” website which deals with science related concepts about the sea level, tides, hurricanes, sea temperature, and chlorophyll content.ĭata science is one of the largest growing STEM fields. This workshop is primarily designed for middle school/junior high science teachers of 7th and 8th grade students but parts of the program could be applicable for teachers of 6th grade students. Submit two individual projects: one dealing with the analysis of a roller coaster dataset and the other on sea level and sea temperature changes over time in a region of their choice using the NOAA website and CODAP program.Complete an evaluation survey including a short paragraph describing what they learned from the workshop and.Complete a postworkshop survey reporting their newly gained level of confidence with using large datasets.Live broadcasting from the Division of Clinical Anatomy facilities at UAMS using high quality video cameras (picture in picture), live access demonstration of the NOAA “data in the classroom” website, live access demonstration of the CODAP program, and live demonstrations of the visual programming environment of Orange3.
