IPC (Integrated Physics and Chemistry),
a high school science course,
is a
Type A grant
awarded to the
University of Houston-
College of
Education. ‘IPC Goes to the Movies’ is a science
course module that includes
a unique set of
activities and lessons that IPC
teachers can use to draw students into thinking and learning
about the physics and
chemistry-based world in which they live.
In collaboration with
Steve Wolf (Science
in the Movies©)
and his team of experts,
IPC Goes to the Movies
brings together the science of special movie effects into
the classroom. With Steve Wolf's engaging video clips with the
lessons and activites, IPC learning has never been so much fun!

*Type A Grant
Information:
|
| Approximately
$3.6million will be available in Type A grants to support the
development of teacher training modules in mathematics and
science for teachers of grades 6-12, during 2004-2005.
Funds will be competitively
distributed in Texas through the Teacher Quality Grants Program,
and through joint efforts of the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board and the Texas Education Agency. The Teacher

The Teacher Quality
Grants--Type A are designed to support the development and
implementation of 12 uniform and comprehensive teacher training
modules which are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and
Skills and can be used for professional development of teachers
of grades 6-12.
The 12 modules include: |
- Part I: Middle School Math
- Part II: Middle School
Math
- Part I: Middle School
Science
- Part II: Middle School
Science
- Algebra
- Geometry
- Algebra II
- Pre-Calculus
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Integrated Physics and
Chemistry (IPC)
Twelve grants awards of up
$300,000 will be made to support the development of these
modules. The development of the modules must include
collaborative efforts between higher education institutions and
local school districts in the areas of mathematics and science.
The Board will approve
recommendations for 2004-2005 Type A awards at its January
29-30,2004 meeting. Projects funded under Type A applications
are for up to 12 months.
All public colleges, private
