1. MESA Class A MESA class is scheduled as an elective and provides project-based, hands-on math and science activities using the MESA modules that will enrich what students are currently learning in their math and science classes. Guests speakers from relevant career fields will be invited to visit the classroom and the class may include field trips to extend learning opportunities. The MESA Class is not designed to replace a math or science core requirement.II. MESA Math or Science Enrichment ClassA MESA Math or Science Enrichment class is designed to provide additional learning opportunities in an existing high school math or science class. The MESA middle or high school modules used in the class are chosen to complement the schools curriculum and to provide a broader context for student experience and learning. Through this enrichment, students will have exposure to real-world applications of the topics they are learning in class through activities, guest speakers and possibly field trips.
III. After School EnrichmentThe after school enrichment program is an academic program that provides additional hands-on math, science and engineering activities for middle and elementary students. The program may include activities from MESA modules, MESA Day preparation, guest speakers, or field trips. IV. MESA Tutoring/Study GroupThe Mentor/Tutoring sessions are held after school. College students work with the MESA student by tutoring math and science along with supporting them on their MESA Day project. MESA Elementary/Middle School Based Sites The MESA Integrated Math/Science Curriculum: The MESA Real-World Mathematics Through Science Modules are used to stimulate high school students' interest in mathematics and science by connecting middle school mathematics to its uses in the real world. The modules include: In The Pharmacy, Measuring Earthquakes, Packaging and the Environment, Investigating Apples, In the Air, Classifying Fingerprints, Measuring Dinosaurs, Secret Codes, In the Wind, and Designing Environments. |
