NSF Science Fair 'Starters' On The Web studentsthe opportunity to develop science fair projects that showcase and descriptionsof the projects, can be to evaluate the quality of science and math http://www.sdsc.edu/SDSCwire/v3.6/sci_fair.html
Extractions: Spring traditionally is the season when schools give studentsparticularly elementary school studentsthe opportunity to develop science fair projects that showcase their knowledge and ingenuity. Finding ideas, however, can test parental mettle and student inventiveness. Below are some examples of the educational resources available on the Internet's World Wide Web that either are supported, or produced, by the National Science Foundation. Also listed are some resources to help professional educators improve their science and mathematics programs. Through its Education and Human Resources (EHR) directorate, NSF will devote more than $640 million this fiscal year to improving science and math education. For more information on NSF education programs, contact Peter West at (703) 306-1070. Science In the Home is a link on the EHR home page aimed specifically at parents and students. It lists Internet resources on science, scientists, and scientific investigations. Students can learn about geometric patterns, and create their own, through a page maintained by the Center for the Computation and Visualization of Geometric Structures, an NSF Science and Technology Center at the University of Minnesota. They can find plans to learn to build a seltzer tablet rocket from a page maintained by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Or they can find out more about James Lovell, the commander of the ill- fated Apollo 13 lunar mission.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Science fair projects have long been familiar events in schools throughout the country, and they have come to represent science in action, science as inquiry. The investigatory aspect of science fair projects fits wellwith current reform efforts guided by such publications as "Science for All Americans," "Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy," and the "National Science Education Standards." Classroom science is steadily being transformed into a process-driven, inquiry-based area of study, and science fair projects provide additional opportunities for students to become personally and directly involved in scientific investigation. Elementary schools participate in science fairs for a variety of reasons: to stimulate student interest in science, to provide students with opportunities for research and active inquiry, to publicly recognize students' completed projects, and to provide students with opportunities to share their work (Perry,1995). There are many variations in format, but the primary components of a science fair project typically include an investigation, a written research report, a visual display, an oral presentation, and some sort of assessment. Learning some scientific facts or principles is a valuable fringe benefit for students doing projects, but the primary objective for science project work is to teach students to think (Tant, 1992, p.5.)

Extractions: The NOSB is a nationwide academic competition among teams of high school students. Twelve separate regional competitions are held around the U.S. in February with the final national competition held in April. The NOSB tests students' math and science skills as applied to topics on ocean (and Great Lakes) biology, chemistry, geology, physics, technology, history, and economics. High school teams of four students, one alternate, and a coach compete in 18 minute long rapid-fire question and answer matches during the day-long round-robin, double elimination competition. GLERL's Ann Arbor office coordinates and co-hosts the Midwest Regional Competition , which is held at the Univ. of Michigan, and GLERL's Lake Michigan Field Station in Muskegon, MI is host to the fourth place winners of the National Competition.

A shy girl in my class, given to taciturn habits, was spurred to uncommon speech recently by the science fair looming in front of her. "What will happen," she asked, sidling up to me, "if I don't do the science- fair project?" The question did not surprise me. In my interlocutor I saw my own visage as a youth, a young boy terrified about any enterprise which required him to speak formally in front of an audience. In my classroom I have students present their science- fair projects to a rotating panel of student judges who use the adjudication form that is used in the actual judging to evaluate their peers' projects. The idea of preparing for the science fair in this way was suggested to me some years back by a student who seemed to think the process would be fun. The class approved the scheme with overwhelming enthusiasm and it was quickly put into practice. I have used this approach ever since.

How can schools put on a good science fair? How can schools avoid having a "parent fair"? And how can science fairs incorporate a cross-curricular approach? Included: Tips from the former chair of the California State Science Fair on how to put on a good science fair! It's that time of year again when poster boards proudly display the answers to countless whys: Why do batteries emit electricity? Why does cigarette smoke damage human lungs? Why must we do a science fair project? To the sounds of cringing parents, the yawns of exhausted students who started their project the night before the fair, and the sighs of teachers who have to grade them, science fairs can be a nightmare. But Christopher M. Gould, the former chair of the California State Science Fair and creator of The WWW Virtual Library: Science Fairs , says it doesn't have to be that way.

Extractions: Today is April 4: Lieutenant Colonel Brian Oliver (a.k.a. Principal Oliver) made a surprise visit at Excellence Ceremony at the Holmes Center at ASU and received a standing ovation along with thunderous clapping and cheering at this assemblage of Watauga County's K-8 students, staff, parents and community members. He then spoke of the service that a number of Watauga County residents are providing to our country at this time. Word of the Day
Extractions: Science Projects about Chemistry , 1 of 6 in a series written for students, contains 34 simple experiments or activities related to chemical concepts, including matter, solutions, chemical composition, chemical reactions, and acids and bases. Among the activities, students compare the densities of air and carbon dioxide; they test a number of solids (such as starch, flour, and baking soda) to see if they are soluble in water; and they investigate the effect of temperature on the speed at which a seltzer tablet reacts with water. In other activities, they explore 4 acid-base indicators (cabbage juice, unsweetened grape juice, tumeric, and phenolphthalein); and they determine what fraction of air is oxygen. Science Projects about Chemistry could be done at home or as teacher demonstrations, or used as the basis for science fair projects. The activities are narrative in form; the text contains questions to help guide inquiry. No background material is supplied, but brief explanations for the results observed in the experiments are provided in the text. Most activities include suggestions of further investigations for students to conduct on their own.

The students used their skills that they learned while experimenting with the various lines of software themselves. Most of the projects contain some sort of integration with the other classes that are required within the Digital Safari Multimedia Academy. Class of 2004 C olony Project In this project students imagined themselves as the architects, engineers, citizens, and leaders of an extr-terrestrial colony. The colonies they created were either on Mars, the Moon, or in Earth's orbit. Each group's task included designing a safe, productive, and inviting living space, developing a method for sustaining food, watre and oxygen, and generating power.
