As part of a continuing effort in data analysis, Mr. Denis presented a ride-to-the-park graph (fig. 1) to his middle school students and checked their understanding of the way the data were entered. “What do the numbers across the bottom of the graph tell us about Alba's ride? What about those in the left-hand column? [Pointing to (9, 6)] This point is not above any number. What does it represent?”

The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of virtual, discussion-based interactions with five scientists on middle school students' (N=48) perceptions of scientists. Based on students' self-reflections and results from Enhanced-Drawings of Scientists Test (E-DAST), the week of virtual discussion-based interactions broadened students' perceptions of what scientists do (activity), where scientists work (location), and what scientists look like (appearance). The virtual discussion-based experiences had the most significant impact on middle school students' perceptions of the work scientists do (activity). As this important finding demonstrates—through middle school students' own words—students' perceptions of the appearance and location of scientists may be ‘gatekeepers' or secondary to the their ideas of what scientists do for activities. In other words, until students can ‘get past' or debunk the stereotype of what scientists look like (appearance) and where they work (location), students may not truly understand the work scientists do (activity).

The literature that is available on the topic of representations in mathematics is vast. One commonly discussed item is graphical representations. From the history of mathematics to modern uses of technology, a variety of graphical forms are available for middle school students to use to represent mathematical ideas. The ideas range from algebraic relationships to summaries of data sets. Traditionally, textbooks delineate the rules to be followed in creating conventional graphical forms, and software offers alternatives for attractive presentations. Is there anything new to introduce in the way of graphical representations for middle school students?

Syringe Filter

Students have little opportunity to observe or experiment with blood filtration in the nephron. Thus, we have developed a modeling activity on the blood filtration in the nephron for middle school students. The students present their mental models of the principles of blood filtration in small groups. They then participate in a hands-on activity to conduct the blood filtration process using a syringe filter, then revising their initial models based on the activity and data analysis. Through this modeling activity, the students can build their knowledge about the excretion principle.

The article presents lexical terminology of children relating to their age, which are present in the region of Pogórze Ciężkowicko-Rożnowskie (on the border of tarnowskie and nowosądeckie counties). The Language material was gathered by means of a questionnaire. It was answered by almost 200 people, who represent two age groups: middle-school students, and the oldest inhabitants of the area in question. The results revealed significant differences in the way a child is perceived by the students and by the oldest generation. The respondents representing these two groups determine different caesura for adulthood, and they also justify this choice differently. Lexical terminology of children relating to their age constitutes a significantly larger number of lexical items in the language of the older inhabitants of Pogórze. Students more frequently quote names common in general Polish language, both in its colloquial and regional form. Older respondents are more keen to use differentiating dialectal terms, including lexical items referring to the past reality of village life. Students are familiar mainly with the dialectal lexical items for children that are widespread in the area in question and have numerous derivatives.
