The CCRP project has two main goals:

1. To further examine students’ understanding of complex systems related concepts in the context of honeybees collecting nectar.  In short, a follow-up to several aspects of the first BeeSign study with a modified curriculum to reflect lessons learned from the prior implementation.
2. To further our understanding of students’ representational practices by examining them in both science and language arts.  This will provide some important contrast and further unpack the influence of context upon students’ representational activities.

This is a collaboration with Kylie Peppler and David Phelps.

This project also makes use of the BeeSign simulation software.
