Dr. Demo's Science Demonstrations (You should examine all sites below and realize that at present we have some duplication of activities.) Ultimate Science Demonstration Page This page is the result of a visit to Texas Tech and Dr. Julie Thomas. I was invited to work with her students and in the process, we video taped many of the demonstrations that day. Dr. Thomas then gave the task to graduate student, (whose name I must add at this point) and he created this magnificent layout. This site contains lesson plans, key step photos, and many quicktime videos. Have fun!! Denver Demos (Sixty Demos in Sixty Minutes) The UN-L Secondary Science Methods class of 1998, along with Dr. Gerry Saunders' Colorado class, did a fantastic job with their NSTA presentation titiled: Sixty Demos in Sixty Minutes. Over 400 teachers were in attendance that day. This site at present only offers lesson plans. Future methods classes are going to add to the layout. Biology Demonstrations are very difficult to find. Here are a couple of sites that offer several demonstrations and activities.

87. A "small-is-beautiful" Approach To Upgrading A Beginning Geophysics Course Considerable attention is now directed toward improving earth science curricula,as illustrated by both presentations at national scientific meetings and http://www.earth.nwu.edu/people/seth/demos/

A "small-is-beautiful" approach to upgrading a beginning geophysics course Seth Stein and John E. DeLaughter Department of Geological Sciences, Northwestern University Evanston IL 60208 Considerable attention is now directed toward improving earth science curricula, as illustrated by both presentations at national scientific meetings and discussions in the literature. Much of the discussion addresses large-scale changes, such as the development of new degree programs [e.g. Stein, 1996 ]. Such reforms can be very successful, but require lengthy interactions with university bureaucracies. A complementary approach is to upgrade individual courses or groups of them. This approach has the advantage of being doable by individual faculty, without bureaucracy, and on small (or zero) budgets. We have been taking such a "small is beautiful" [ Schumacher, 1973 ] or "faster, cheaper, better" approach to upgrade our introductory geophysics course. In discussion with colleagues elsewhere, we have found interest in this effort, and so summarize it briefly in the hope of encouraging discussions of similar experiments elsewhere. We have begun with a beginning geophysics course required of geology majors, and taken as a distribution course by engineering majors. It provides a relatively rigorous and homework-intensive overview of the structure and evolution of the Earth and terrestrial planets, at a level higher than a descriptive "Geology 1" class, but lower than the standard introduction to geophysics for seniors or first year graduate students. For example, in this class we typically present without proof results such as Snell's law, which will be derived in later courses.

Keyboarding Free Activities Free Demos Science Expansive middle school curricula for scientific investigation The Middle School Science Gateways simulation activities cover topics in Physical Science, Life Science, and the Human Body. Through easy interactive learning activities students explore various topics in science, which help them, gain an in-depth understanding of science concepts. The primary focus of this course is science content and skills geared for middle school grade students with an emphasis on qualitative learning. Teachers use Gateways activities in teaching science as tools to successfully demonstrate phenomena that are difficult for students to understand, are time consuming or even dangerous to experiment with. Students are able to independently run experiments, manipulate variables, and instantly see the results. Students can also repeat an experiment as needed to reinforce learning of a particular concept. They are asked to predict the outcome of an experiment, run the experiment and then validate their prediction. Although attention is given on qualitative learning, students gather and analyze data for a better understanding of a variety of scientific concepts. The Middle School Science Gateways Series contains 3 multiple-unit titles.
