Content Standards: K-4 Science as Inquiry CONTENT STANDARD A: As a result of activities in grades K-4, all students should develop Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry Understanding about scientific inquiry DEVELOPING STUDENT ABILITIES AND UNDERSTANDING From the earliest grades, students should experience science in a form that engages them in the active construction of ideas and explanations that enhance their opportunities to develop the abilities of doing science. Teaching science as inquiry provides teachers with the opportunity to develop student abilities and to enrich student understanding of science. Students should do science in ways that are within their developmental capabilities. This standard sets forth some abilities of scientific inquiry appropriate for students in grades K-4. In the early years of school, students can investigate earth materials, organisms, and properties of common objects. Although children develop concepts and vocabulary from such experiences, they also should develop inquiry skills. As students focus on the processes of doing investigations, they develop the ability to ask scientific questions, investigate aspects of the world around them, and use their observations to construct reasonable explanations for the questions posed. Guided by teachers, students continually develop their science knowledge. Students should also learn through the inquiry process how to communicate about their own and their peers' investigations and explanations.

63. Research Opportunities In Space Life Sciences: The ESA Life Sciences Programme During 1996, the life and Microgravity sciences spacelab (LMS) mission was The spacebiologyprogramme concentrates on fundamental science in the area of http://esapub.esrin.esa.it/sp/sp1210/progr.htm

The ESA Life Sciences Programme Introduction Results obtained in space life sciences over the past decade have had a remarkable influence on the current thinking on the role gravity plays at all levels of life, from the organisation of a single cell to the nature of gravity-driven responses in more highly developed organisms including man. Experiments in space have invalidated quite a number of established theories about the mechanics of dynamic behaviour in certain animal and plant systems. They have generated new insights and new questions. Based on the results obtained worldwide from microgravity and relevant ground-based research, including 10 years of European contributions, the ESA Microgravity Advisory Committee (MAC) undertook a status review with the help of the expertise available within ESA's life-science and materials/fluid-science working groups. As a result, ESA obtained a recommendation from MAC as to how to proceed with respect to focusing on selected areas of research, which were considered to hold promise of tangible results that could justify the effort involved. The MAC proposed to vigorously exploit Europe's current scientific strength in space life sciences by concentrating the programme on the most promising research areas with outstanding expertise in Europe. As exciting and novel ideas are emerging continuously, indicating the potential for development and the stimulus for innovative ideas in this field, the programme will not be restricted to existing knowledge, but remain open to new ideas at any time. It is intended in this way to form the foundation for sound future development.

Activity: Is There Really Life on Mars? Instructional Objectives Background Information Time Needed for Activity Target Grade Level ... Web Resources Instructional Objectives: Students will - study the work of scientists and determine how scientists test theories; construct a model of coacervates, observe its characteristics, and compare them with the characteristics of living cells; infer conditions that may have led to the formation of life. Background Information: Is there really life on Mars? Was there once cellular material on the red planet? Scientists have been studying these questions for a long time, and now they have some new information that may give some clues. Scientifically speaking, to study the controversy about life on Mars, it is important to understand what the work of scientists is all about. How do scientists develop a theory like life exists on Mars? The easiest way to test the theory of life on Mars is to create a series of predictions that can be tested experimentally. If the tests support the predictions, then the theory will gain support; if the tests are inconclusive or do not support the predictions, then the theories will lose support. Two of the essential scientific questions are what is life, really, and how did it begin? Scientists predict that on primitive Earth, the atmosphere consisted mostly of ammonia, water vapor, methane, and hydrogen. With exposure to intense heat, ultraviolet light, electrical storms, and other conditions, organic molecules conbined to form membrane-bound droplets call coacervates. These may have been the precursors of the first living cells on Earth. If Mars could support life in its early history, then life probably formed on many other planets, too.

Task Book Introduction for FY1997 Return to Life Sciences Taskbook T he NASA Life Sciences Division serves the Nation's life sciences community by managing all aspects of U.S. space-related life sciences research and technology development. The activities of the Division are integral components of the Nation's overall biological sciences and biomedical research efforts. However, NASA's life sciences activities are unique, in that space flight affords the opportunity to study and characterize basic biological mechanisms in ways not possible on Earth. By utilizing access to space as a research tool, NASA advances fundamental knowledge of the way in which weightlessness, radiation, and other aspects of the space flight environment interact with biological processes. This knowledge is applied to procedures and technologies that enable humans to live and work in and explore space and contributes to the health and well-being of people on Earth. The Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications (OLMSA) is responsible for planning and executing research stimulated by the Agency's broad scientific goals. OLMSA's Life Sciences Division is responsible for guiding and focusing a comprehensive program of flight and ground-based tasks. This document, the Life Sciences Program Tasks and Bibliography for FY 1997 (October 1996-September 1997), includes all peer reviewed projects funded by OLMSA's Life Sciences Division during FY 1997. This document is published annually and made available to scientists in the space life sciences field both as a printed document and as an interactive internet web site. The information provided in the Task Book is used in reports to the NASA Associate Administrator, the Office of Management and Budget, and to the United States Congress.

Elgass Current and future scientists and healthcare practitioners must be equipped to carry forward the science, engineering and health care of the future. Students must be prepared for careers in the biological and health care fields. All students will need knowledge that enables them to live in a world where moral, social, political and practical questions related to biology will arise more frequently. In the letter, Bollinger detailed the many elements of the Initiative, a broad endeavor that includes programs, new interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate courses, concentrations and research opportunities, as well as a Life Sciences Institute. Program in the Life Sciences, Values and Society The University has committed $500,000 to support the Program in the Life Sciences, Values and Society in the coming year. Led by Richard Lempert, professor of law and of sociology, the program is designed to bring together scientists, scholars and graduate students from a range of disciplines for the exchange of knowledge and ideas through research and conferences, cooperative joint studies, joint teaching, and graduate student supervision and research. Two programs examining the humanistic and bioethical aspects of the life sciences have been scheduled: On Oct. 11, Harold E. Varmus, past director of the National Institutes of Health and current president and CEO of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, will deliver a talk on the life sciences, values and society that will promote reflection on related ethical and social issues.
