Mathematics For The Student Scientist

摘要

The Earth Day:Forest Watch Program, introduces elementary, middle, and secondary stu- dents to field laboratory, and satellite-data analysis methods for assessing the health of East- ern White Pine (Pinus strobus). In this Student-Scientist Partnership program, mathematics, as envisioned in the NCTM Standards, arises naturally and provides opportunities for sci- ence-mathematics interdisciplinary student learning. School mathematics becomes the vehicle for students to quantify, represent, analyze, and interpret meaningful, real data.
