Science - 6th Grade Core Course Description Introduction Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding of the natural world. The Science Core Curriculum places emphasis on understanding and using skills. Students should be active learners. It is not enough for students to read about science; they must do science. The Elementary Science Core describes what students should know and be able to do at the end of each of the K-6 grade levels. Organization of the Elementary Science Core The Core is designed to help teachers organize and deliver instruction. The Science Core Curriculum's organization: Each grade level begins with a brief course description. Eight Guidelines Were Used in Developing the Elementary Science Core Reflects the Nature of Science: Science is a way of knowing, a process of gaining knowledge and understanding of the natural world. As described in these ILOs, students will: 1. Useful and Relevant: This curriculum relates directly to student needs and interests. 1. 2.

Online | The Diving Spudmarine As a kid with two older brothers, I knew how important it was to be the first to crack open a new box of cereal and sift through the contents for the toy inside. I remember fishing out a plastic toy submarine and I absolutely loved it. When you filled the submarine’s compartment with baking powder and dropped it in a container of water, the submarine would—seemingly magically—dive and surface. While the heyday of cereal box toys may be over, you can still make your own diving submarine toy out of a potato.

HRP Education and Outreach While NASA’s Human Research Program studies the functions of the human body in space, our research can also inform and inspire the next generation of space flight researchers and engineers. Sharing what we have learned with the public is an important part of HRP’s mission, and we are dedicated to making the knowledge our scientists and engineers have accumulated as accessible and easy to understand as possible. Whether you are a student completing an assignment for school, an educator who wants to bring real-world examples into the classroom, or just an insatiably curious science buff, you are sure to find what you are looking for here. Extreme Weather 2011 A year for the record books From extreme drought, heat waves and floods to unprecedented tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, wildfires and winter storms, a record 14 weather and climate disasters in 2011 each caused $1 billion or more in damages — and most regrettably, loss of human lives and property. NOAA's National Weather Service has redoubled its efforts to create a "Weather-Ready Nation", where vulnerable communities are better prepared for extreme weather and other natural disasters. NOAA forecasts, advisories, watches, warnings and community-based preparedness programs have been and will continue play an even greater role in enhancing the economy and saving lives. A Weather-Ready Nation is one in which businesses, governments and the public are armed with accurate forecasts and other critical information on which to make smart decisions to protect life and property when severe weather threatens.
