To date, the program has been used by over 35,000 middle and high school students and
in 48 states.
Field-test results indicate that girls tend to acquire more applied science knowledge than
boys and in general, that modules are well-suited for all students, regardless of race or
socioeconomic status. Results further reveal that MWM modules can be taught effectively by
both seasoned and less-experienced teachers.
Currently, many of the modules are being translated into Spanish to make them available to
Latin-speaking areas, like Mexico, South America, and Puerto Rico. In 2005, the Centro
De Investigacio en Materiales Avanzados and the Department of Education & Culture for
the state of Chihuahua provided support to train 50 high school teachers in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Since the 2005 Workshop, MWM has been used by 35 schools, including 120 teachers, 1200 students,
and 7 cities and towns, in the state of Chihuahua. Results indicate that these modules helped
to improve science achievement with these students.
