     Extractions: Lesson Plans Field Trips The Maine Geological Survey is a valuable resource for earth science teachers looking for information on Maine's geology and ecology. A broad assortment of maps and publications are available, including topographic map coverage for the entire state. We also have information on sources of additional materials published by the federal government. These resources can be incorporated into school curricula to provide both students and teachers with a better understanding of earth science topics and their importance to Maine's citizens. A series of free educational leaflets are available, and visitors to our office can use our library and view an exhibit of Maine minerals. The Survey's staff can answer questions about many earth science topics, and will help identify unusual rock and mineral specimens. The Maine Geological Survey received a grant from the National Science Foundation's Teacher Enhancement Program for a three-year project titled CREST ( C urriculum R esources for E arth S cience T eachers in Maine). During 1991-1994, CREST provided training and developed a variety of resources for Maine's high school and middle school teachers. This project had three components: (1) participation of teacher interns in research activities with professional earth scientists; (2) development of instructional materials for classroom and field activities; and (3) facilitating communication and sharing of resources among teachers. During each year of the project, a teacher was based at the Maine Geological Survey to help carry out these tasks.

     Extractions: How do you help your students visualize the huge convection cells of solid material circulating within Earth's mantle that create tectonic plate movement? This activity offers a solution: Create miniature convection cells within a desktop flow chamber so that students can see firsthand how convection cells are created and how they work. The key then to explaining how convection cells drive plate tectonics is to keep it simple. There is a vast amount of information about Earth's interior structure, all interesting, but not critical for an understanding of basic plate tectonics. Teacher's note Students may question why the hottest part of Earth, the inner core, is solid, and why the outer core, which is cooler, is liquid. Here is the answer. The immense pressure at the inner core causes it to remain solid even though it is hotter. The outer core is under less pressure so it remains liquid even though it is cooler. Here are the basics. A cross section of Earth would reveal 3 major internal structures: the core, mantle, and crust. The core is made of 2 distinct regions, the inner core and outer core. The inner core is solid, and the outer core is liquid (see "Teacher's note"). For this activity, consider the core as one area located in the center of Earth producing vast amounts of heat. The mantle, an area of slowly moving convection cells of solid material between the core and the crust, is divided into several regions based on temperature and plasticity. For this activity, consider the mantle as a single contiguous region between the core and the crust where convection cells form.

     Extractions: A team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers have created a series of web-based astronomy and astrobiology lessons for the CERES Project. These classroom-ready activities for K-12 students represent a robust combination of contemporary teaching/learning strategies from the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), exciting and current NASA science data, and Internet pointers to an endless supply of accurate and timely resources. Students explore NASA data to construct first-hand knowledge about the astronomical universe. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are tied explicitly to the NRC National Science Education Standards astronomy objectives. They can be used as an introduction to astronomy topics, as an intermediate activity, or as an extension activity that requires active participation by students. Students explore interdisciplinary science topics within the context of astrobiology to construct first-hand knowledge about the origin, distribution, and future of life on Earth and beyond. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are closely tied to the NRC National Science Education Standards and the Principles and Standards for Mathematics. These lessons can be used as stand alone activities or as supplemental materials for standard math and science courses. Many of these activities are suitable for both middle and high school students, even though they may be cited as being appropriate for one group or another.
