Picture This:  Using Visualizing Skills to Improve Reading Comprehension of Middle School Students
 
Peggy Hamby and Joan Boyce: $551
This project will teach students a new skill that more closely matches an adolescent’s ability to think about their thinking as a way to improve their reading skills. Once it is taught, it is an easy transferable concept that will have great carryover into the regular education environment.
 
 
Portable Wind Tunnel, part of the Discovery Lab
 
William Anderson and Jerry Merz: $5,000
The wind tunnel will be equipped with a laptop and have embedded electronic sensors to collect real-time data. This information would be collected by students and used for analysis for their model designs.
