NMSU GK12 DISSECT Program

I am currently supported by a fellowship from the NSF GK12 Program. My particular fellowship is funded through the New Mexico State University Computer Science Department to promote "computational thinking" in grade school classrooms. I am working with Mrs. Rachel Knight. In 2011-2012, I worked with Rachel's 7th and 8th grade Agriscience class. This year, we continue our teaching partnership, but at a new school and new grade level, and with new classes: I will be working with her Biology, Environmental Science, and Introduction to Agriculture classes.

I will be updating this page with summaries of the activities that I develop for the class.

Getting started

It's the start of a new school year! This year, I'll be visiting an Agriscience class at Picacho Middle School. If you're in Mrs. Knight's 7th and 8th grade Ag Explorations class, I'll be acting as a visiting scientist to show you some really neat ways you can use science in studying agriculture.

I'll be writing about my experiences here, and also posting the educational materials and links that we'll be using in class.
