SMATH
The Science Teacher (December 2003)
The authors designed a three-year interdisciplinary math-science curriculum that connects the fundamental concepts of physics, biology, and chemistry with algebra and geometry. Students and teachers responded well to a simple model of inquiry-based research developed by the authors. By keeping the project simple, teachers can guide students through the process so that they can greatly improve their critical-thinking skills. Students choose a topic of study, design and conduct an experiment, write up their results, and present them to their peers. Emphasis is placed on experimental design, literature searches, and graphing and writing skills.
