Data Management with SQL for Social Scientists

This is an alpha lesson to teach Data Management with SQL for Social Scientists, We welcome and criticism, or error; and will take your feedback into account to improve both the presentation and the content. Databases are useful for both storing and using data effectively. Using a relational database serves several purposes. It keeps your data separate from your analysis. This means there’s no risk of accidentally changing data when you analyze it. If we get new data we can rerun a query to find all the data that meets certain criteria. It’s fast, even for large amounts of data. It improves quality control of data entry (type constraints and use of forms in Access, Filemaker, etc.) The concepts of relational database querying are core to understanding how to do similar things using programming languages such as R or Python. This lesson will teach you what relational databases are, how you can load data into them and how you can query databases to extract just the information that you need.

Dynamics of Group Communication

Dynamics of Group Communication offers a practical introduction to the theory and practice of group communication, with an emphasis on real world applications to develop an awareness, understanding, and skills to effectively participate as a productive group member. Through a clear and concise approach to group decision-making and dynamics in teams and leadership, students are presented with the tools needed to create plans, find solutions to problems, produce goods or deliver services, and evaluate their performance through self and peer assessments. This book was primarily compiled from resources archived by authors of previous OER online publications around group communication. I revised and added to these resources as I saw fit in order to adapt this book for use in our curriculum.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

In this Investigation, students will work toward independent experimentation in the context of cellular respiration and photosynthesis through use of a series of physical labs and either CO2 sensors or a semi-quantitative leaf disk protocol. Students will explore changes in CO2 concentration in the context of spinach leaves in light and dark conditions then develop an independent experiment in groups or as a class to reason through timing of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. The scaffolding for experimentation is less than in previous Investigations, leaning on what students have already experienced in the lactase and osmosis experiments.
