  1. Kitchen Science Investigators (KSI) Discovering the science behind cooking Tammy, Clegg, Christina M. Gardner & Dr. Janet L. Kolodner Georgia Institute of Technology * College of Computing * School of Interactive Computing

  2. Kitchen Science Investigators Project Goal: • We want middle schoolers to develop disposition toward reasoning scientifically How? • Provide learners opportunities to reason scientifically in an interesting everyday activity • Help them recognize • the relevance and value of science in their everyday lives • the value of reasoning scientifically outside of the classroom • In the context of cooking and baking Christina M. Gardner ~ cmgardne@cc.gatech.edu ~ http://home.cc.gatech.edu/KSI

  3. Research Goals • Design and study the impact of computers in helping people learn better • To study the development of • scientific reasoning skills • identity • reasoning with science content and models Christina M. Gardner ~ cmgardne@cc.gatech.edu ~ http://home.cc.gatech.edu/KSI

  4. Research Opportunities • Data Analysis & Opportunities to publish • Transcribing video data • Analyzing digital artifacts and paper artifacts created by participants • What does it take? • Curiosity • Attention to detail • Problem Solving and creativity • Initiative • Interest in children and/or cooking, both would be great Christina M. Gardner ~ cmgardne@cc.gatech.edu ~ http://home.cc.gatech.edu/KSI
