Description:
PUMAS examples may be activities, anecdotes, descriptions of "neat
ideas," formal exercises, puzzles, or demonstrations, written
primarily by scientists, in any style that serves the material
well. They are intended mainly to help K-12 teachers enrich
their presentation of science and math in the classroom. The
PUMAS web site provides wide distribution; the site receives over
3,000 hits per week, on average.
Teachers can search the PUMAS collection based on curriculum
topic, grade level, or subject. They can select relevant examples, and develop ideas of their own about how to integrate the material into their lesson plans.
All examples are peer-reviewed by at least one scientist with a
relevant background, and at least one teacher at an appropriate grade
level. Once accepted, an example is a citable reference in a refereed
science education journal, and may be listed in your resume.
Interested in participating? The examples are available to
everyone via the PUMAS web site. The project also needs
teachers at all grade levels, scientists, and engineers to volunteer
for the pool of PUMAS reviewers. And the project is always looking
for good examples of the Practical Uses of Math And Science.
