Extractions: NASA's Space Interferometry Mission, scheduled for launch in 2009, will determine the positions and distances of stars several hundred times more accurately than any previous program. The Interactive Interferometry Demo page allows users to simulate a virtual interferometer by moving a light source, mirrors, and the measuring device itself to build up a plot of the relation between the angle to the source and the delay line setting. The site provides full instructions and background information for the activity, which is probably best suited for high school and college students learning about various space science subjects. As with other interactive online learning activities, this application does a good job of providing a fun way to explore and learn about science. [JAB]

DESCRIPTION: The Physical Science with Math Modeling Workshop provides teachers of 8th and 9th grade physical sciences and mathematics with education in standards-based content and instructional strategies. The workshop is an expansion to junior high and 9th grade of the Modeling Instruction Program at ASU. In 2001 the U.S. Department of Education recognized the Modeling Instruction Program as one of 2 EXEMPLARY K-12 science programs in the nation. Teachers will achieve these goals: * improve their instructional pedagogy by incorporating the modeling cycle, inquiry methods, critical and creative thinking, cooperative learning, and effective use of classroom technology in instruction), * master content in topics in the structure of matter, motion, energy, scientific thinking skills, and related skills in each of the Arizona Mathematics Standards

Extractions: K-12 education is of great importance due to its effect on the development of future citizens. With the advance of technology, scientific literacy is becoming essential for adequate participation in our society. There is concern that the U.S. is falling behind other countries in science education, especially at the K-8 grade levels. There is also a common attitude among students that science is too hard, too boring, and not worth the effort. Teachers have a great deal of difficulty preventing the onset of this attitude, and little hope of reversing it once it takes hold. This is partly due to a socialization which places little regard for, or importance, on scholarship in science and math. If significant progress in scholarship is to be made in these areas, it must be at the expense of preconceived notions of unimportance and difficulty. However, limitations in the training pre-service teachers are given to teach science is also to blame. K-8 teachers are in the best position to influence the attitudes of future citizens towards science, and to encourage people to consider careers in science. The training pre-service K-8 teachers receive in science and in the teaching of science has not kept pace with the increasingly technical nature of our society. Frequently, future teachers receive no education after the ninth grade in many science topics that they are required to teach. As either cause or effect of this, most K-8 teachers are uncomfortable with one or more areas of science, and are often reluctant to teach them. The greatest discomfort and lack of preparation is in the physical sciences.

History Of Science Society | HSSOnline.org Caloric Air thermometer; thermal expansion and conduction demos; mixture ofOº and 100º C water Dan Siegel Department of the History of science http://www.hssonline.org/teach_res/CoE/activities/demos.html
Extractions: University of Wisconsin, Madison The author teaches a course in the history of the physical sciences from Newton to Einstein at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in which he incorporates highly popular demonstration experiments. He presented an overview of the course and some of the related philosophical issues at the 1996 CoE workshop, "Beyond Lecture." The text has been condensed and edited by Marjorie Malley. Why does one want to do demonstration experiments in a history of science course? First, historical verisimilitude requires it. From the scientific revolution to the early twentieth century experiment was a central part of science. To represent the physical sciences of this period as primarily a literary tradition is a crime against historical authenticity. Static representation such as pictures, diagrams, and words often leave the student with only the haziest notion of the experiments carried out in a historical situation. Further, verbal and pictorial representations fall short in vividness and pedagogical impact. If one asks what kind of course material students talk about, write home about, and remember for the rest of their lives, demonstration experiments are at or near the top of the list.
