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:

Extractions: Product Testing Report Learning Resources This big colorful magnetic board is a super tool for teaching children all about time. By tying the lessons together with real life events such as the time a child wakes up, goes to school, eats dinner and goes to bed the lessons are reinforced with pictures that the child places on the magnetic surface. Teachers and parents who used this tool together with children found that the lessons really took hold. The next time they returned to use the toy the concepts came back faster and with a much higher level of understanding, this really impressed our testers. Suggested Age: 4 to 8 Price Learning Resources Sometimes we need a little nudge or a kernel of an idea to start us on a new adventure.
Science Fair Toolkit - Test Your Hypothesis fair project is supposed to teach you is 1. Scienzfair projects What is the ScientificMethod Experimental science fair projects http//members http://www.wiredlibrarian.com/SFT/test.htm
Extractions: Testing your ideas Your experiment needs to come down to one variable: one thing that is different. This will be different for every experiment. If there is only one variable that will change, you can measure that change to prove, or disprove your hypothesis. Some kids may feel that if they don't prove their hypothesis, they have failed. That's so far from right, it's not funny. What the science fair project is supposed to teach you is the process of science. In the real world of science, there are thousands more failures than successes. If you can say why the project didn't turn out the way you expected, it is just as valuable as if it turns out the way you wanted.

Rather than discuss cells from the basis of their anatomy (membranes, mitochondria, nucleus, etc.), we thought it more important to emphasize what cells DO and why and how they do it."

Extractions: Sharon Purvis Northview Elementary Science Fair Northview Elementary will organize and participate in a school wide Science Fair involving all grade levels. Each student in grades 3-6 will develop a Science Fair experiment with grades 1-2 preparing a class project with optional individual projects.. Students will utilize the computer for research, data collection and organization, and will prepare neatly formatted presentations. The Northview web site will display student work of high achievement. Our primary goal is to provide additional resources in assisting students in acquiring knowledge on the Science as Inquiry Standard. A targeted goal will be to make available school computers to students and parents outside of the school day for research, professional preparation, and quality presentation of the Science Fair project. Childcare will be available when the computer lab is open for parents and students. This grant will provide teachers with additional materials and training to teach the Inquiry Standard. A parent informational packet will be designed to give parents ideas for projects, requirements for projects and a description of the Scientific Method of Inquiry. All Science Fair projects will be rated on a three point rubric. A list of Science web sites will be compiled. Parent, teacher and student evaluations will be given and used to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Science Fair.

PLACE: BROOKHAVEN LAB, BERKNER HALL DETAILS: A total of 109 schools from all across Suffolk County will be represented at the 1998 Elementary School Science Fair sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory. Some 499 science projects, involving 690 children ranging in age from kindergarten through grade 6, have been entered in the fair. ( See the attached list of participating schools.) Covering a range of topics, the student projects will include experiments, demonstrations, and charts, diagrams or collections with a scientific objective. Here is a sampling of titles: "Hooked on Fishing," "Do Violent Video Games Affect Heart Rate?", "Let's Go Nuts with Nuts," "Invader Crabs," and "Jiggle Freeze." The projects will be judged by teams of Brookhaven scientists and local elementary school teachers, based on scientific thought, creativity, thoroughness and clarity. Prizes will be awarded, one for each grade level, and honorable mention ribbons will also be given. Banners will be awarded to the schools of the first-place winners. Members of the news media are invited to attend. Because of space limitations, the Science Fair is not open to the general public.
Resources For Middle School Science--4.58-- Measuring Earthquakes. 5 classroom activities and 1 home activity that teach students the Earthquakes MindBogglingExperiments You Can Turn into science fair projects, Seismograph,; http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/rtmss/4.58.html
Extractions: Measuring Earthquakes contains 5 classroom activities and 1 home activity that teach students the mathematics underlying the development and use of local-magnitude scales, such as the Richter scale, for measuring earthquakes. Students learn where earthquakes occur and how to measure their size as they explore powers of 10, exponents, rounding numbers, and scientific notation. The importance of these mathematical concepts to geophysics and seismology is also emphasized. The book draws largely upon earthquake events in the Pacific Northwest. Among the activities in Measuring Earthquakes, s tudents explore powers of 10, exponents, and logarithmic patterns by comparing and graphing the number of popcorn kernels in 4 prepackaged bags. They also build a simple seismograph and generate "quakes" of 3 magnitudes, and they construct the Richter scale using exponents and logarithmic scales.

Summary of Discussion at SMILE+ Meeting 17 August 1994 Introduction I. Why are there fairs in science and not in other disciplines? II. Interdisciplinary aspects of science fairs To initiate ideas for its Mathematics Exposition, Disney School uses "everyday math". Science teachers are "interactive" and actively involved in school activities. Science fairs should be interdisciplinary, but it is often difficult to solicit help from busy faculty members. Some of them are "afraid" of science. A TIMELINE with a schedule of activities and responsibilities will help. Students need to have a solid base in mathematics before they can be successful in science. Phenomenology can interest students in science and mathematics.
