PACIFIC CRYSTAL PROJECT - Research

The Pacific CRYSTAL project is organized in a "hub-and-spoke" structure which provides a central management system composed of co-directors, an executive committee, and an international advisory board for collaborative research studies with the Faculties of Science, Engineering, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education at the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University, Malaspina University-College, BC School Districts, and numerous non-governmental agencies. These research studies of science and technological literacy reside in three nodes:

NODE 1	Authentic Science Opportunities for Youth
		Overview Field Trips Real Science Science and Math Ecological Education Theoretical Developments

NODE 2	Classroom-based Studies of Teaching, Assessment, & Technology Applications
		Overview HLM Project Weather Unit Field-webs Enriched Math EOS Project

NODE 3	Lighthouse Schools of Exemplary Science Programs
		Overview CETUS Strawberry Vale
