Do the Science GSE Tell Me How to Teach Science? Yes and No. | Northeast Georgia RESA - Science. – Jeremy Peacock, GSTA Executive Director; Amy Peacock, GSTA Supervisors Representative; Originally published in GSTA’s eObservations newsletter With the new Science GSE coming into effect next year, teachers are likely asking themselves some important questions. What’s new? Do the standards tell me how to teach science? How do I translate the standards into daily classroom instruction?
As is often the case, standards can provide some guidance, but we have to go beyond the standards to answer all of these questions. What’s new? While you will not see wholesale content changes in the Science GSE, the standards will bring important changes in terms of student expectations and instructional approaches. Do the standards tell me how to teach science? The Science GSE imply some key instructional features, but they do not provide the instructional model needed to design and sequence lessons and units. So, what are the 3D lesson essentials? So, do the Science GSE tell us how to teach science? Untitled. Project based learning and the Next Generation Science Standards. Guest blog by Andrew Miller The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call for a conceptual shift in teaching and learning.
Yes, content is changing in the upcoming NGSS. In addition to traditional subject matter, science and engineering are now integrated into the standards, where students will learn about the principles of engineering and engage in the engineering design processes. In addition, many concepts are cutting across content. While many teachers are already teaching for application of knowledge as well as engineering and core concepts, these key features will cause a deliberate shift in instruction requiring all teachers to reflect on their practice. First of all, let’s clarify the difference between projects and PBL. Just as the draft NGSS calls for deeper understanding and application of knowledge, PBL demands the same. The NGSS will need to be met with pedagogical models that can leverage the required depth of understanding, and PBL can meet that challenge. Dbasse 086026. Elementary — Next Generation science storylines. Car and Vehicle Science Experiments | Title Pro Loans.
Cars are great subjects for science experiments because they are built to move. Cars need fuel to power their engines. The engine turns the gasoline into mechanical energy that moves the gears. The gears turn the wheels, and then the car moves. It may seem like magic, but cars really move by using the laws of science. That’s why science experiments use model cars to explain the science of movement, like the ideas of motion and rest, force and friction, and action and reaction. An object, like a toy car, that is moving will continue to move unless something stops it. You can learn about force and friction by using a paper or toy car, a ramp, and a marble. Another rule about motion is that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Science can be fun, but the only way to test this theory is to try some experiments.

Rebecca and Chrystian Vieyra developed apps for classrooms to tap into their sensors. (Google Hangout screenshot) Smartphones and tablets are powerful devices that people use every day to make their lives easier.
They’re even smarter than we give them credit for. Most of them have sensors we never knew they had. For example, many devices have: an accelerometer that measures acceleration forcesa magnetometer that measures magnetization/magnetic fieldsa light sensor that measures the strength of lighta gyroscope that measures orientationa hygrometer that measures moisture in the atmospherea thermometer that measures ambient temperaturea barometer that measures atmospheric pressurea proximeter that detects when something is close Try to put a series of instruments together like that in your classroom and the price tag will make it next to impossible. That’s where Rebecca Vieyra and her husband, Chrystian, come in. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. PhET: Free online physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math simulations.

Our best known residents are our giant pandas, but great apes, big cats, Asian elephants, birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, aquatic animals, small mammals, and many others can be found at the Zoo. You can take a virtual visit to the Zoo any day of the week by tuning into our live web cams, which feature many of the Zoo's animals.

Hide captionWhile a team of Russian scientists were drilling ice core samples from their Vostok base in Antarctica, new satellite imagery revealed the outline of a lake the size of New Jersey buried two miles underneath the ice.
Scientists have been drilling through the ice and are now just 100 feet away from breaking into the third largest lake on the planet. Earth Observatory/NASA Russian scientists are on the verge of punching a hole into a vast Antarctic lake that's buried under more than two miles of ice. If the Russians break through, they may tap into and disturb a primitive and pristine ecosystem that has been untouched for millions of years.
Lake Vostok is actually the third largest lake in the world, measured by the amount of water it holds. And if you're surprised to learn that there could be a vast pool of liquid water under two miles of ice, so were the Soviets. In fact, they had no idea there was a lake there when they built their Vostok camp more than 50 years ago. Planet Diary. Science Fair Project Ideas, Answers, & Tools. Environmental Education in GA.

Our star chart is designed to get you out learning the night sky within a matter of moments. Just set it for your time and location, make a few tweaks if you like for personal taste, and print it out.
For stargazing, pick a location that's as free as possible from bright local lights, and give yourself at least half an hour outdoors so that your vision becomes fully dark-adapted. (This can take 15 to 20 minutes for adults, somewhat less for children.) Red light allows you to consult your printed, personalized star chart without damaging your night vision: Click here for tips on how to quickly and temporarily adapt an ordinary household flashlight for this purpose.
It's also easy to customize the star chart for use with binoculars or a small telescope. First, check your location. Then pick a direction. Field of view: Our chart defaults to a naked-eye field, so if you're learning constellations or spotting planets, leave the chart on that setting. Earth Day Resources.
