Dear Conference Participants,
The Alaska Science Teachers Association (ASTA), the Alaska Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ACTM) and
our co-sponsor, the Anchorage School District would like to welcome you to the 8th Alaska Statewide Math
and Science Conference. At this conference, entitled Changing Climates: Tracking Trends, science and
math educators will focus on innovative educational approaches to teaching and learning that will support
administrators and teachers across the state in emphasizing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in their districts, schools and classrooms.
Why a focus on CHANGING CLIMATES? In addition to the literal meaning (statistical weather data, climate
patterns and models), teachers face a changing landscape of political and economic climates surrounding
education in general. For example, new nation-wide math standards and Next Generation Science Standards
are changing how and what students learn in every classroom. How do we best provide professional development to support our state educators in navigating these changing “climates” while they deliver relevant and
technology-based education to their Alaskan students?
The primary focus of this conference is to provide attendees with a clear picture of the importance of STEM
education and how to deliver it. AMSC 13 features nationally recognized experts and presenters as well as
intensive science and math courses designed to immerse the teacher in the STEM experience. We are able to
offer you dynamic and nationally recognized keynote speakers:
Friday afternoon – Dr. David Carlson, Director of Education & Outreach of UNAVCO
Saturday morning – Bill Badders, NSTA President
Saturday noon – Matt Larsen, author Go Math!
Saturday evening – Steve Wolf – “The Math and Science Behind Movie Special Effects and Stunts”
Sunday morning – Jana Harcharek
In addition, engaging break-out sessions, field trips, social events, intensives and university credit are available to our conference participants. Equally important is the chance to build networks with like-minded educators. We have vendor exhibits available for teachers to peruse, shop and to spark new ideas.
Comparable math and science professional development for teachers is almost exclusively available outof-state, costing teachers several thousand dollars to attend. Our aim is to provide a quality opportunity for
teachers here in Anchorage. Thank you for your participation and shared vision as we build a foundation for
Alaska’s children and our future.

Jana Harcharek Keynote Address
“Education, a Cultural Perspective”
9 – 10 a.m. Sunday, October 20 East High Auditorium
Jana Harcharek is one of three lead district administrators responsible for overseeing
and directing the district- wide Curriculum Alignment, Integration and Mapping effort.
The North Slope Borough School District is now in year three of implementing a long-term
curriculum development plan integrating the “Content and Performance Standards for
Alaska Students” with the Core Themes and Performance Expectations delineated in the
Iñupiaq Learning Framework with an initial focus on Language Arts, Mathematics and
Science and the addition of Career Technical Education in the 2012-13 school year.
.Jana was facilitator of Iliññialnnikun Apqusiuqtit - Trailbreakers for Learning. The
group comprised of members from across the North Slope of Alaska gathered for purposes
of defining what a well grounded, well educated 18 year old looks like today. The resulting
Iñupiaq Learning Framework (ILF) is the foundation upon which curriculum reform is
based at the North Slope Borough School District (NSBSD). 2009-2010.
.Jana Harcharek was the organizer and facilitator of the North Slope Borough School Iñupiaq Education Initiative with
youth, elders, parents, community members and teachers/administrators in the eight communities of the North Slope of
Alaska where communities’ visions for education were articulated. 2006-2007.
.She also is the organizer of numerous Elders and Elders/Youth Conferences with Elders and Youth from across the North
Slope convening for purposes of sharing traditional knowledge during tenure with the NSB Commission on History, Language and Culture.
Pausauraq Jana Harcharek is an educator devoted to making the vision of her Elders to have their knowledge and world
view incorporated into the educational system come alive. She was instrumental in guiding the work of the district and
Ilisalvik College in the development of a program for high school juniors and seniors enabling them to take culturally relevant
courses for dual credit. She continues to be the leader in district endeavors to advance efforts in the production of standards
based culturally relevant instructional unit development, an on-going effort that is resulting in the embedding of exceptionally unique Iñupiaq culture based units in the overall district curriculum.

Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge facing
our young people, but it is rarely addressed in secondary
science classrooms despite several relevant state standards. Learn ways of approaching the topic and integrating it into secondary units or courses in biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and mathematics, as well as a
stand-alone semester course for high school.

Animal Adaptations to the Winter World
Grades: 3-12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room: NW 13
How animals are adapted for survival is an important subject and so is teaching about Alaska’s wildlife. Combining
the two subjects makes for a fascinating, relevant teaching
unit. Wildlife educators from ADF&G will give a short presentation about animal adaptations to the cold and snow
and then run teachers through a series of short, engaging
laboratory experiments which reinforce several adaptation
concepts.

Kitchen Chemistry
Grades: 3-10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room: NW 14
Molecular gastronomy or molecular cuisine is the science
of cooking but it is commonly used to describe a new style
of cuisine in which chefs explore new culinary possibilities
in the kitchen by embracing sensory and food science,
borrowing tools from the science lab and ingredients from
the food industry and concocting surprise after surprise
for their diners. Formally, the term molecular gastronomy
refers to the scientific discipline that studies the physical
and chemical processes that occur while cooking. Molecular gastronomy seeks to investigate and explain the chemical reasons behind the transformation of ingredients, as
well as the social, artistic and technical components of
culinary and gastronomic phenomena in general.

are learning. Engaging students with appropriate tasks,
providing them with necessary tools, and encouraging
classroom talk will support development of the mathematical habits of mind. The result is a classroom climate where
students do mathematics.

Inquiry-Based Science in a Flipped Classroom
Grades: 9-12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room: NW 13
An inquiry-based science classroom requires students
take responsibility for their learning using technology and
a hands on approach. Utilizing technology to flip the classroom allows the teacher to act as a facilitator while giving
students time in class to complete assignments that might
have otherwise been homework. Projects include videos,
voicethreads, online games and activities, and augmented
reality Layar. The session will begin with modeling of an
inquiry lesson to actively involve participants. I will share
lesson plans, units built on Moodle to flip classroom and
student work. Participants will be given time to review
websites and lessons.

Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge facing
our young people, but it is rarely addressed in secondary
science classrooms despite several relevant state standards. I will present ways of approaching the topic and
integrating it into secondary units or courses in biology,
chemistry, physics, earth science, and mathematics, as
well as a stand-alone semester course for high school
students.

The Saturday Thing
Grades: K-12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Room: NW 14
Children are by nature inquisitive, inventive, and creative. Unfortunately, the mandate of Adequate Yearly
Progress, as well as declining school budgets, leave little
time for classes that encourage and nurture these traits in
students. They don’t know how to “tinker”. The Saturday
Thing, based on the very successful workshop of the same
name started at MIT’s Edgerton Center, aims to provide
students with an environment that stimulates innovation:
freedom to think and explore, a community of colleagues
who are also innovators, equipment to enable innovation,
and easily accessible supplies. The STEMAK program of
