Role Models, Volcanoes, and Technology: Supporting Girls with Ratios and Proportional Relationships

Description

Learn how we partnered with female volcanologists from a popular volcano blog to serve as STEM role models and to provide interesting and authentic contexts for problem solving using ratio concepts and proportional reasoning. Investigate active volcanoes the same way that current scientists do while using the technology available in the classroom.
