Published Curricular Designs
The following sections provide a brief description of Dr. Temple’s online and other digital publications that highlight his design capacities in the interactive digital realms.
Boldly Going
2004 – Recipient of the Subaru National Science Teaching Award, this immersive 5-day unit pulled 8th grade physcial science takes students into an inter planetary mission on a ship that the world forgot with a task no one thought it could do… Save the Earth.
Atom & Quark
This marvel of digital instruction was a menu driven DVD that provided elementary teachers who were not comfortable teaching the more difficult aspects of science. Teachers who used it said it was the “slayer of ADHD.” Over the 3.5 years of development, Dr. Temple produced two volumes of Atom & Quark.
1) Atom & Quark Space Adventure (focused on planetary science, constellations telescopes, and stellar fusion.
2) Atom & Quark: The Table of Secrets (focus on elements and trends of the periodic table)
AREA154
1 Program
5 case files
4 all mankind
This revolutionary curriculum (temple.area154.net) brought the students on a thematically driving real-world journey that centered on teaching these students the skills needed to survive the literal end of the world as we know it. This revolutionary in-class experience is now being revamped to become a more interactive stand alone experience.
ARC AGENT
In Development for 4 years now, the “ARC Agent” experience takes the AREA154 curriculum to the next level. Here students not only learn the key aspects of chemistry, physics, biology and other STEM skills to survive, but they will then put on the VR goggles and actually GO ON THE MISSION!
