| earth and space science activities: A Framework for K-12 Science Education National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Science Education, Committee on a Conceptual Framework for New K-12 Science Education Standards, 2012-02-28 Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments. |
| earth and space science activities: Once Upon an Earth Science Book Jodi Wheeler-Toppen, Jodi Lyn Wheeler-Toppen, 2016 If you work with students who struggle to understand their Earth science texts, this book provides everything you need to boost their skills in both science and reading. Once Upon an Earth Science Book starts with advice on teaching reading comprehension strategies to middle school students. Then, the 12 content chapters give you * hands-on science activities with engaging titles such as Mountain Mayhem, Oceans on the Move, and Trash Soup ; * readings that cover important Earth science concepts and support the Next Generation Science Standards; * writing activities that prompt students to connect what they did with what they read; and * assessment exercises to give you feedback on what your students are learning. You' ll love how practical and easy this book is to use. Jodi Wheeler-Toppen is an experienced teacher who couldn' t find a resource that integrated reading, writing, and science-- so she wrote it herself. She' s also the author of NSTA Press' s Once Upon a Life Science Book (see p. 7). As you and your students work through these lessons together, she predicts, you will be able to watch their confidence as readers-- and your confidence as a reading educator-- grow. |

| earth and space science activities: Exploring Earth Science Julia Johnson, Stephen Reynolds, 2015-02-06 Exploring Earth Science by Reynolds/Johnson is an innovative textbook intended for an introductory college geology course, such as Earth Science. This ground-breaking, visually spectacular book was designed from cognitive and educational research on how students think, learn, and study. Nearly all information in the book is built around 2,600 photographs and stunning illustrations, rather than being in long blocks of text that are not articulated with figures. These annotated illustrations help students visualize geologic processes and concepts, and are suited to the way most instructors already teach. To alleviate cognitive load and help students focus on one important geologic process or concept at a time, the book consists entirely of two-page spreads organized into 20 chapters. Each two-page spread is a self-contained block of information about a specific topic, emphasizing geologic concepts, processes, features, and approaches. These spreads help students learn and organize geologic knowledge in a new and exciting way. Inquiry is embedded throughout the book, modeling how scientists investigate problems. The title of each two-page spread and topic heading is a question intended to get readers to think about the topic and become interested and motivated to explore the two-page spread for answers. Each chapter is a learning cycle, which begins with a visually engaging two-page spread about a compelling geologic issue. Each chapter ends with an Investigation that challenges students with a problem associated with a virtual place. The world-class media, spectacular presentations, and assessments are all tightly articulated with the textbook. This book is designed to encourage students to observe, interpret, think critically, and engage in authentic inquiry, and is highly acclaimed by reviewers, instructors, and students. |

| earth and space science activities: Exploring the Moon National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2014-09-24 This book contains:* Information on the Lunar Sample Disk,* Activity Matrices -- Skills & Standards,* A Teacher's Guide,* Moon ABCs Fact Sheet,* Rock ABCs Fact Sheet,* Progress in Lunar Science Chart,* 17 activities,* Resource Section for each unit,* Glossary,* NASA Educational Resources.The Teacher's Guide titled The Moon: Gateway to the Solar System, pages 1-16, provides background information about the Moon. It tells the story of the Moon's geological history and how scientists try to decipher the story. This background information may be useful reading for students as well. Key facts about the Moon appear on the Moon ABCs and Rock ABCs pages. These pages were named to emphasize the basic nature of the information. The Progress in Lunar Science Chart summarizes our knowledge about the Moon from 1959 to 1997.The activities are divided into three units: Pre-Apollo, Learning from Apollo, and the Future. These correspond, at least roughly, to exercises that can be done before the Lunar Sample Disk arrives at your school (Pre-Apollo), while it is there (Learning from Apollo), and after it has been returned to NASA (The Future).The length of time needed to complete an activity will vary according to the degree of difficulty and the development level of the students. Thus activities may take one to eight or more class periods.Activity Matrices are provided to assist in identifying the science process skills and science and mathematics educational standards associated with each activity. Classroom activities promote problemsolving, communication skills, and teamwork. Each activity consists of teacher pages and reproducible student sheets.Teacher pages begin with a statement of purpose and background information with answers specific to the activity. Relevant pages in the Teacher's Guide also are listed. These are followed by sections on preparation, in-class suggestions, wrap-up ideas, and extensions. Words that are bolded appear in the Glossary.Student sheets include a purpose statement, key words, list of materials, procedure, questions with space provided for answers, and charts. Key words are included in the Glossary. Materials for each activity are listed in order of use. They are bolded in the text of the procedure section as a memory aid for students. |
