Paper Quest: The Research Rollercoaster

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

Students will work in groups of 4. They will come up with a research question related to whatever unit we are working on. From there they will ask an LLM to find 3 primary scientific papers that could answer that question. After they have that list they will go to PubMed and see if there are any other better papers. Once they have the list of paper they will write the titles in common language. They need to do this on their own, not with an LLM. Just using a dictionary and the title. They will write it out on paper. After they have a title they will ask their LLM to do the same. They will then compare the two and answer the following: how is the student title better? how is the AI title better? and then revise the title if they got any ideas from the AI. Day 2: Ask the LLM (is there a good program for this?) to say which of the 3 papers is best for answering the research question. Make sure to find out why. Whichever one it says the student will get the PDF and print it out. Using the LLM the student will ask it to summarize each section and then write out by hand what each section is about. The student will also ask the LLM to explain what each figure shows. Write notes on the paper. Day 3 and 4: students just have their papers with notes, no computers. As a group they will plot out how they want to present their papers. This will be a printed out poster presentation like at a scientific conference (could also just be a presentation in front of the class if that's what the teacher prefers). They will need to present: Title with an aka (title in their own words), background or why we care about this research question, how the reseachers went about finding the answer. Then as a group they need to choose a figure that they think is the strongest. For the figure they need to tell us what the research q is, the method used to try to answer the question, what the researchers found, and what it means. They ALSO need to try to critique the interpretation. Is there any other way this could be interpreted? Day 5: Put together the poster with the sections outlined above. Each student needs to be prepared to answer each part as the teacher will ask different students to present different parts of the poster as they travel around. Invite other students/scientific community members to the poster presentation if desired.

Math Masters: Past Meets Present!

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

Explore the life of a mathematician and the discovery or invention they’re known for. Understand how their personal experiences, challenges, or historical context influenced their work; and how their ideas still shape the world today. Guiding Questions: What problem was the mathematician trying to solve? What inspired them to pursue this problem? How did their background, education, or life experiences influence their work? What was the impact of their discovery at the time? How is their work used or applied in modern-day problems or technologies? Optional / Spicy AI Extension: Leverage an AI tool or tools to bring the mathematician to life in chat; or as a personified character to solve a problem in today's world.

What if there was a tool to help us take our wild project ideas and create a scope and sequence? There is! Inkwire and the Professional Learning team at High Tech High’s Graduate School of Education designed an AI-assisted curriculum planning tool.

Powered by High Tech High's Kaleidoscope framework for project-based learning (PBL) design, this AI assistant helps educators – and learners! – integrate standards and curriculum requirements into a cycle of PBL Essentials.

The AI-assisted Kaleidoscope tool is co-designed by Inkwire & the High Tech High Graduate School of Education Professional Learning Team. The "Design for Deeper Learning Kaleidoscope" framework is copyright by the High Tech High Graduate School of Education.
