Math and ScienceIn 21st Century Education
Role in 21st Century EducationTechnology and 21st Century Learning allows
students to learn mathematics and sciences from a more digitalized and technology based form.
Definitions
• The ability to evaluate information based on its sources and the methods used to generate it.
• Math in 21st Century Education• Reason with numbers and other mathematical concepts
• Science in 21st Century Education• Evaluate scientific arguments and apply conclusions
Example- Blowing Balloons
• Students will work in groups on this science experiment
• Students will use mathematic skills to measure 40 mL of water in a bottle then to add a teaspoon of baking soda into bottle then stir
• The students then will group decided amount of lemon juice into the bottle and quickly cover the top of the bottle with the balloon
• The group with the biggest balloon wins
BlogsStudents will work in groups to produce a blog on
how they think the experiment will turn out.
YouTubeStudents will watch YouTube videos on the effects
of baking soda and lemon juice as well as the experiment
