ITEEA - Engineering byDesign™ (EbD) The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association's STEM±Center for Teaching and Learning™ has developed the only standards-based national model for Grades K-12 that delivers technological literacy in a STEM context. The model, Engineering byDesign™ is built on the Common Core State Standards ( High School / Middle School), Next Generation Science Standards (K-12), Standards for Technological Literacy (ITEEA); Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM); and Project 2061, Benchmarks for Science Literacy (AAAS). Additionally, the Program K-12 has been mapped to the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges for Engineering. Using constructivist models, students participating in the program learn concepts and principles in an authentic, problem/project-based environment.
Global Climate Change: Research Explorer The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled for millions of years, since long before we appeared on the scene. There’s no doubt that the climate is growing warmer currently; indications of that change are all around us. Though climate change isn’t new, the study of how human activity affects the earth’s climate is. The exploration of climate change encompasses many fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and even sociology. At this Web site, you can explore scientific data relating to the atmosphere, the oceans, the areas covered by ice and snow, and the living organisms in all these domains. You’ll also get a sense of how scientists study natural phenomena—how researchers gather evidence, test theories, and come to conclusions.
Welcome to KINAXO Biotechnologies In February 2011 Evotec AG acquired Kinaxo Biotechnologies GmbH, a Munich-based company offering unique market-leading proteomics applications. The acquisition strengthens Evotec’s position as a fully integrated drug discovery partner for pharma and biotechnology companies. Kinaxo's cutting edge platform backs tailor-made therapies to increase personalized therapeutic benefits and reduce unwanted side-effect risks, enabling earlier educated decisions on drug efficacy, safety, and response in individual patients.

BioEd Online: Biology Teacher Resources 10 Tools to Help Students Keep Track of Tasks This Year This is the time of year when many of us make resolutions. If one of your students' resolutions is to do a better job of keeping track of tasks and assignments, have them take a look at one of the following options. If your school is using Google Apps for Education or your students have personal Gmail accounts, they already have some great tools at their disposal. In Gmail students can simply select "tasks" under the "Mail" drop-down menu in Gmail. Todoist is a task management service that impresses me with its clean design and intuitive user interface. Fetchnotes is a neat service for creating and keeping notes online. Wunderlist is a free task management service that syncs across all of the devices that you use. Flask is a simple tool for making to-do lists and sharing them with others. DropTask is a task management service that has a neat user interface. WorkFlowy is a simple task management service that I just learned about from Dianne Krause's daily bookmarks post.

Welcome | CHDI LearnPhilanthropy.net 11 Ways Finland’s Education System Shows Us that “Less is More”. | Filling My Map When I left my 7th grade math classroom for my Fulbright research assignment in Finland I thought I would come back from this experience with more inspiring, engaging, innovative lessons. I expected to have great new ideas on how to teach my mathematics curriculum and I would revamp my lessons so that I could include more curriculum, more math and get students to think more, talk more and do more math. This drive to do more and More and MORE is a state of existence for most teachers in the US….it is engrained in us from day one. When I arrived in Finland I did not find big flashy innovative thought provoking math lessons. So, what is the difference? Less IS more. They believe it. Conversely in the US we truly believe “more is more” and we constantly desire and pursue more in all areas of our lives. We can’t even stick to ONE philosophy of education long enough to see if it actually works. Finland on the other hand believes less is more. Less = More 1. (But wait! • Enter the workforce. 2.
