Extractions: Students explore basic ecology concepts and scientific processes using spiders as model organisms. They will capture spiders, observe and care for them, and use them to answer their own questions about spider behavior. Modeling the process of a research scientist, each team of students will design and conduct their own experiment. Simultaneously, the class will collaborate on joint projects investigating feeding rates of spiders and their importance in controlling the numbers of insects (by conducting a field study on or near school grounds). Designed for both middle and high school students

Extractions: Science Connection was founded in 1991 by Robert West, then an Undergraduate Biology Research Program student at The University of Arizona. Science Connectors are primarily undergraduate students who visit classrooms, elementary through high school, to do hands-on science activities in the Tucson metropolitan area. Undergraduates join Science Connectors because they enjoy sharing their enthusiasm for science and scientific inquiry with children. While Science Connectors love science, not all Science Connectors are science majors. The majors of undergraduates in Science Connection have included anthropology, biochemistry, chemistry, ecology and evolutionary biology, economics, education, exercise and sport sciences, general biology, interdisciplinary studies, Latin American studies, linguistics, mathematics, microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, nutritional sciences, philosophy, physics, physiology, pre-education, pre-nursing, psychology, and veterinarian sciences. In addition, graduate students and faculty participate in the Science Connection volunteer program. Science Connectors are catalysts, resource persons, role models, and mentors. They share their joy of scientific discovery with young minds. Working independently and with guidance from Dr. Gail Burd, the Director of Science Connection, and with the classroom teacher, Science Connectors develop hands-on activities in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Activities performed by Science Connectors range from astronomy to zoology; many of these activities appear under

Biology: Exploring Life With 36 biology Exploring Life chapters that comes out For selected concepts, optionalactivities called Closer Looks exists that some teachers teach and some http://www.usingexploringlife.com/webphilosophy.html
Extractions: lab program Biology: Exploring Life In the Teacher's Edition the authors lay out a suggested order for working through a Biology: Exploring Life chapter: engage the students' interest in the chapter's topic with the WebQuest, then have students read each key concept in the text, go online to complete the activities, and end by assigning the Online Chapter Assessment. Another way to describe this is that we expect students will READ about a concept in the book and then go online to DO an activity to reinforce that understanding. We know that teachers will need to adapt Biology: Exploring Life Each chapter begins with a WebQuest. These are short (20-25 minute) activities that can be used to jumpstart the chapter and motivate the students' interest in the material to come. WebQuests are really online scavenger hunts. Students are given the necessary background on a topic and are then sent to four or five reputable, external Web sites to gather information to help them complete a brief activity. Following the WebQuest, students can begin working through the chapter's core activities. There is one Online Activity for every concept in the program. On average, there are five to six concepts per chapter. With 36

Project AstroBio: Teacher Information scientists with more of a biology background Help evaluate Project AstroBio activitiesand project materials. NOT required) and commitment to teach these topics http://www.astro.washington.edu/projAstroBio/teacherinfo.html
Extractions: A STELLAR OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS What is Project AstroBio? In this innovative program twenty-five 3rd - 12th grade teachers from the Puget Sound region are paired each year with volunteer astronomers and other scientists who have an interest in working with local schools and organizations. Together, teachers and partner scientists participate in a hands-on training workshop, receive high quality resource materials, and develop a strategy for working together in and out of the classroom. There are a total of 68 Project AstroBio partnerships, from Everett to Olympia! "Classic" Project Astro, which began in Seattle in 1997, has become Project AstroBio as of 2002, to reflect a new and growing involvement in the sciences of astrobiology, which is the study of the origin, history, and extremes of life on Earth, as well as the possibility of life on other planets. Whereas in past years Project Astro teachers were paired solely with amateur, student, and professional astronomers, Project AstroBio teachers now may be paired with either astronomers or with scientists with more of a biology background. The range of science that can be done by hands-on activities now includes not only astronomy and related sciences, but also aspects of life in the universe. Partnerships involve more than just one-time visits:

Science Curriculum - Biology The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is the governoring body for all public K12 schools in North Carolina. They provide information and support to North Carolina's public schools. Science Curriculum - biology. http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/curriculum/science/biology.htm
Extractions: Curriculum Publication Sales Education Policies Agency Web Sites ... Publications Science Curriculum Goal Nature of Science This strand is designed to help students understand the human dimensions of science, the nature of scientific thought, and the role of science in society. Biology is particularly rich in examples of science as a human endeavor, its historical perspectives, and the development of scientific understanding. Science as a Human Endeavor - Intellectual honesty and an ethical tradition are hallmarks of the practice of science. The practice is rooted in accurate data reporting, peer review, and making findings public. This aspect of the nature of science can be implemented by designing instruction that encourages students to work collaboratively in groups, to design investigations, formulate hypothesis, collect data, reach conclusions, and present their findings to their classmates. The content studied in biology provides an opportunity to present science as the basis for medicine, ecology, forensics, biotechnology, and environmental studies. The diverse biology content allows for looking at science as a vocation. Scientist, artist, and technician are just a few of the many careers in which a biology background is necessary.

Extractions: There are a lot of different ways to approach teaching nursery rhymes to children. Many of the children probably know most of the rhymes, but some will not. As an introduction, you can first read (or sing) a rhyme to the children, while showing them the pictures. The children could then sing along with you. Word Families Many of the nursery rhymes contain common word families. You can use these rhymes to teach these letter combinations (and how they are spelled and spoken), having the students sound them out after memorizing the rhyme. For a list of some common word families and a list of the word families contained in some nursery rhymes, click here . You can study one word family a week. Students can use the Little Explorers Picture Dictionary to look for more words that belong to word families.
