Extractions: Students will visit several on-line museums with dinosaur exhibits. While at the sites students will gather information about dinosaurs' habitats and survival needs and ways in which dinosaurs met these needs. This information will serve as the basis for a discussion of adaptation. Lesson One: Visiting Museums . Students will visit museums and gather information about dinosaur habitats, survival needs, and how they met these needs. Lesson Two: Discussion of Adaptation . Students will synthesize the information they gathered at the museum to discuss ways in which dinosaurs adapted to their environments. Worm Bin Project In this unit, students will learn about decomposition and the life cycle by creating worm bins. Through direct observation, they will develop an understanding of the effects different organisms, including humans, have on one another. Lesson One: Introduction to the Worm Bin Project . Students create worm bins and begin worm bin activity. Lesson Two: Collaboration Online . Students organize into small, collaborative groups and match up with partner groups at another school. Collaborative groups of students collect and exchange data and observations related to the worm bins with their partner group.

Extractions: Principal Investigator: Patrick J. Gannon, Ph.D. Organization: Mount Sinai School of Medicine Project Title: Defying Gravity: Embracing Life in Space ( Project Web Site During phase two, beta testing of eight (multi-component; twice-monthly) educational modules was completed at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics High School and Life Sciences Secondary School. Each module consisted of: a) a take home pre-lesson activity; b) a 45-minute classroom lesson [with formal written lesson plan]; c) a 10-15 minute space biomedicine scientist presentation; d) a take home pre-laboratory; and e) a 45-minute, hands-on, inquiry-based, classroom laboratory exercise with data collection, analysis and discussion of findings with a formal written laboratory plan/guide. The testing, to a group of 35 self-selected 9th grade students at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics High School, involved multiple assessments. Defying Gravity had the lowest attrition of any after-school program in the school's history and the self-selected students who attended did better on New York state formalized examinations than their classmates. Assessment data collected from all levels of participants allowed for reformulation of components for phase three. Module-specific assessment report sheets for student participants and student and teacher curriculum associates were re-formulated and circulated each session. Results were reported back to the Program's Curriculum Assessment Associate and the Advanced Placement-level Assessment Coordinator for evaluation. Many of these questions are linked to Science Education Standards and Performance Indicators.

PIRNIQUE ROGERS MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADE LEVEL AND COURSE: 8th grade Earth Science TOPIC: Mesozoic Era in Arkansas SYNOPSIS OF LESSON: This lesson is a revision of a lesson on the Mesozoic Era in Arkansas, based on the research I have done this summer at Great Lakes Chemical Company. Student will continue their study of the geology of Arkansas from 225 million year ago to 65 million years ago by learning about the types of strata laid down by the Gulf of Mexico while it covered this area and as it withdrew. We will also learn of the economic importance to this community of what happened and why the bromine industry of the United State is centered here in sough Arkansas. This is one section of an interdisciplinary unit on Arkansas that will involve language arts (Arkansas writers), history (Arkansas History) and science. CONCEPTS Concepts to be covered in this lesson are: 1) that most of Arkansas was once covered by a shallow sea, during which time sediments were deposited forming various limestone strata, 2) that the sea withdrew, exposing the surface to erosion, and 3) that other geologic events took place causing faulting and folding to occur, trapping oil, gas, and salt waters in certain layers. We will also explore the economic impact of these geologic events on this specific community. PREREQUISITE LEARNING Student will already have learned the four eras of geologic time and when they occurred. They will have learned about strata, how it is usually deposited, how it is deformed, about permeable and impermeable layers and their importance in trapping material in and area.

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.
