Originally we were planning on basing our feasibility study on algae production on surface pond. Due to the fact that the optimal growing season for algae is during the summer months and because surface mine maps aren’t always accurate as the location and current condition of ponds, we decided to collect samples from multiple sources in […] View

John Handshoe posted an update in the group ARI Student Agency 10 months, 1 week ago

Our game of science has been modified into two separate games and has gotten a new name, The Game of Alchemy. One version is being adapted into a board-type of game where the players will answer questions about chemical elements as they move toward chemical stability. The other version is a card-based game for multiple players that combines the…[Read more]

Our project for replacing missing historical landmarks with augmented reality is moving along. We identified a site in downtown Hazard that we are working on. It is the old L&N suspension bridge that was torn down many years ago. All that remains is the stone “tower” that allowed access to the bridge and a support for the bridge just on the…

Feasibility Study of Microalgae Biodiesel from Surface Mine Ponds

This group has been in the process of developing the procedure they will use to measure the population of microalgae. This includes the possibility of using a spectrophotometer to give an estimate of population growth rather than using a hemocytometer. Samples will be collected…

Game of Science

The students have been hard at work on The Game of Science. As the rules and objectives are created the game itself is evolving into something akin to Pokeman or Magic the Gathering. Once everything is finalized, we will be working with a local printing company to produce a limited number of decks of cards.

Using Augmented Reality to Replace Missing Historical Landmarks

During the first part of the project we have concentrated on familiarizing our group with computer aided design or CAD. We have worked with several different CAD programs including AutoCad and Sketchup but have decided on using Vectorworks due to the ease of use and availability.…

Using Augmented Reality to Replace Missing Historical Landmarks

Test data indicates a need for increasing the variety of teaching strategies in our classrooms. Current methods, while often efficient, may neglect other powerful strategies. When historical sites are damaged or lost, there may be adequate records, such as photographs or other…[Read more]

Feasibility Study of Micro-algae Biodiesel from Surface Mine Ponds

Often, science classroom experiences lack relevance to students. Student surveys have often indicated that this lack of valid material can result in lower achievement. Students may find laboratory experiments boring because they aren’t really experiments but repeated exercises t…[Read more]
