Extractions: Note to the teacher This lesson plan works especially well for middle school students, and parts of it may also be used for some high school classes. The unit is most appropriate for physical science, oceanography, and physics. While the lesson plan unit requires a lot of teacher confidence, you will find it a unit sure to be well received by your students. Newton's Laws SUBTOPIC: Demonstration of Newton's Three Laws of Motion and the Law of Gravitation OBJECTIVES: The students will: 1) give examples of each of Newton's three laws as they occur in everyday experiences 2) visualize and differentiate the difference between a direct proportion and an inverse proportion using the formula F=ma 3) understand how the gravitational law affects the tides of the earth 4) calculate the actual gravitational force between the sun and earth and the moon and earth to conclude which has the stronger influence Background Information Isaac Newton summed up motion in three laws. Today we take these laws for granted as we grow up assuming they are true. We do not realize the struggles scientists went through in attempt to understand the world around them. The following activities use brainstorming, discussion, and simple labs to illustrate the laws. Newton's Three Laws: 1) An object which is moving at a constant velocity or at a state of rest does not change its state unless a force acts upon it.
Extractions: T he following Lesson Plans, written entirely by Middle and High School teachers, represent the final product of the collaborative project, 'History of Science in the Secondary School Curriculum.' The Project was funded by a major two-year grant from the National Science Foundation in cooperation with the National History Teaching Alliance. The Program was structured around a series of collaborations between university faculty and selected participants from secondary schools in Florida and Virginia. Each year thirty teachers (one History and one Science teacher from fifteen schools) attended a three-week Summer Seminar and a series of follow-up meetings throughout the year. A lthough several goals were established for the Program, the primary objectives were, first, to heighten concern in public schools for science literacy and an understanding of science and culture by means of sustained discussion among school and university teachers on the status of education in science, mathematics, and technology; second, to establish an on-going History of Science Resource Center in order to enhance teacher preparation, develop tested teaching strategies, and to disseminate resulting materials nationally. O ne substantial result of the latter object are the Lesson Plans below. They were written by participants in the Program and are now made fully available (for non-commercial use) either by downloading the files or by linking to this site. The Lesson Plans have a two-fold purpose. First, to help teachers incorporate Science into the History classroom; second, to encourage the use of History of Science in Science classrooms. The following Lesson Plans contain new and useful ideas on how to present traditional concepts in a fresh and creative way. While they vary in application, each unit was classroom tested by as many as three evaluators at various educational levels. They are well-organized and appropriate for the grade level and subject indicated in the 'Note to the Teacher' at the beginning of each unit.

Extractions: Funding was received from the University of Central Florida to develop a DVLE for satellite ocean remote sensing. We have created a working group made up of scientists and formal and informal educators in the local area to help in the design and layout of the site and to make sure that the content is what is needed. We are working with Rutgers University (creators of the COOL Classroom ) as well as with the Florida COSEE to create an interactive learning environment for self directed student learning. Teacher resources will also be available on the site. Below are links to presentations given at the Kickoff meeting on September 6, 2005 as well as other relevant links. If you have any comments or suggestions for the project please feel free to contact Remy Luerssen Each year IMaRS holds 2-3 teacher workshops at USF for local educators to come and learn about remote sensing and its applications in the classroom. The workshop provides an in-depth lecture on remote sensing , how it works and the types or projects IMaRS is currently working on. In addition, the workshop has a hands-on session on using the IMaRS website and what kinds of data are available. Lastly, the teachers are referred to or participate in lesson plans using the data from the website. Recently we have added a GPS/geocaching session into the workshop. In the future we hope to be adding training sessions for local teachers to learn about our newest educational projects (see below for more information). Please see the

Extractions: Web posted at: 9:25 AM EDT (1325 GMT) Overview: Marine biologist Dr. Sylvia Earle has made protection of the world's oceans her life's work. Have students compare and contrast Earle's work with that of Jacques Cousteau. Challenge students to identify environmental issues regarding oceans and determine what humans can learn from oceanography. Curriculum Connections: Earth Science, Environmental Studies Have students read the CNN Student News story, "Take an ocean tour with Sylvia Earle," and answer the following questions: 1. Who is Sylvia Earle? How does she explore the ocean? For what kind of research is she best known? How do you think pretending she is a fish during her underwater trips impacts her journeys? 2. Who is Jacques Cousteau? Inform students that Cousteau explored the Earth's oceans and documented the amazing variety of life they contained. Refer students to the Web sites below and other resources to conduct further research about Cousteau and his contributions to?. Then, ask: What were some controversial issues in which he was involved? Point out to students that many of Earle's younger colleagues consider Earle the Jacques Cousteau of their generation. Ask: Do you agree with the comparison of Earle with Cousteau? Why or why not?

Because there is so much to learn and know, oceanographers generally specialize in specific subdisciplines of oceanography. Students will learn about the five primary subdisciplines of oceanography and will think of questions that each type of oceanographer might ask when conducting research in his or her field. They will then examine Web sites to learn about oceanographic research and determine which types of oceanographer would be the most involved and interested in these research projects.
