Crude Energy Home
Crude Energy provides a backstage pass to the world of petroleum, where students learn about finding oil while protecting the environment, take a trip in a super fuel-efficient car and discover the dozens of petroleum-derived products they use daily. Birds are particularly susceptible to oil spills because oil clogs their complex feather barriers, allowing water and cold to penetrate.

Oil may provide the ingredients for thousands of products we use every day, but it carries with it some potential problems. While oil is a product of the Earth, it can be harmful to the environment when it is brought to the surface if not handled properly. Oil also can damage the insulating ability of fur-bearing mammals such as sea otters. Many animals try to clean themselves but are poisoned after ingesting the oil.

REACHING THE SECOND TIER
LEARNING AND TEACHING STYLES IN COLLEGE SCIENCE EDUCATION
Richard M. Felder
Department of Chemical Engineering
North Carolina State University
Raleigh, NC 27695-7905
In her recent study of college science instruction, Sheila Tobias [19] defines two tiers of entering college students, the first consisting of those who go on to earn science degrees and the second those who have the initial intention and the ability to do so but instead switch to nonscientific fields. The number of students in the second category might in fact be enough to prevent the shortfall of American scientists and engineers that has been widely forecast for the coming decade. The thrust of Tobias's study is that introductory science courses are responsible for driving off many students in the second tier. The negative features of the courses she cites include their (1) failure to motivate interest in science by establishing its relevance to the students' lives and personal interests; (2) relegation of students to almost complete passivity in the classroom; (3) emphasis on competition for grades rather than cooperative learning; and (4) focus on algorithmic problem-solving as opposed to conceptual understanding. Recent educational research provides theoretical support for Tobias's assertions, which are based largely on anecdotal accounts. The research shows that students are characterized by significantly different

Recognizing Stress
Most people are exposed to much higher levels of stress than they realize.
Your Stress Scale
A self-test you can use to determine how much stress your are really facing.
Brain Chemical Messengers
Brain cells "talk to each other" by means of chemical messengers. When a person is exposed to too much stress, chemical communication in the brain begins to fail. When these messengers fail, a person suffers from sleep disturbance, aches and pains, depression and anxiety. This condition is called OVERSTRESS.
Three Happy Messengers
Three brain messengers control your sleeping, your energy levels, and your feelings of pain and pleasure.

Teacher's Lounge Curriculum Article CURRICULUM ARTICLE Growing Bigger Brains: Research Affects How Teachers Teach "To enhance public awareness of the benefits to be derived from brain research," Congress designated the 1990s as the Decade of the Brain . Now, Education World takes a look at the results of some of the decade's brain research and explores the implications for you and your students. According to Ronald Kotulak, the author of Learning How to Use the Brain , scientists learned more about the brain during the last decade than they learned during the entire century preceding it. So if you've been out of school for even five or ten years, chances are that much of what you learned about how the brain develops and functions is obsolete. Does it matter? Take a look at some of the latest research and find out. MAKING CONNECTIONS According to brain researchers, the human brain contains billions of nerve cells, or neurons, that receive, process, and transmit information. Dendrites, tentacle-like branches of the nerve cells, provide the receptive surfaces of those cells, creating connections between neurons and transmitting information from one to another.

A new CD-ROM entitled "Meeting Standards Naturally" has been developed for K-12 educators to promote academic excellence and environmental literacy. This was developed by the Environmental Education and Training Partnership (EETAP) which is funded by the U.S. EPA's Office of Environmental Education. The CD-ROM explores how teaching about the environment can be used to achieve national education standards for core disciplines such as math, science and social studies. The CD-ROM also discusses what environmental literacy means and how it helps prepare students to effectively make environmental decisions that impact their daily lives.
The 'Meeting Standards Naturally CD discusses what "environmental literacy" means; shows how using the environment as a context for learning can promote academic achievement and help educators meet national and state education standards; and provides 43 sample K-12 curriculum activities that demonstrate how environmental lessons can support specific grade level education standards.

What is environmental print? Environmental print is the print found in the natural environment such as billboards, advertisements, food labels, soft drink cans, road signs, and T-shirts. For many years, environmental print has been used to help young children learn to read and, while effective, it has not been without criticism. Some people say that environmental print focuses too much on commercialism and things like junk food. With this in mind, it is even more important to use it to teach children about health and safety as they learn to read. Teaching about Health. Many of the logos children see at fast food franchises and grocery stores display unhealthy food choices. However, this same technique can be used as an opportunity to teach about healthy foods. One way to do this is to have children bring logos and food labels to school. First, children can individually or collectively make two posters using the logos. They can make posters labeled Foods We Like and Foods We Don't Like. A discussion of the food pyramid can then take place, comparing it with the two posters. Then children can make posters labeled Healthy Foods and Unhealthy Foods. This is an effective tool for learning about the food pyramid because young children may learn more when they have some ownership and participation in the curriculum.

99. National Science Education Standards
Creating an adequate environment for science teaching is a shared responsibility.Teachers lead the way in the design and use of resources,
http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/nses/html/3.html
Science Teaching Standards
Science teaching is a complex activity that lies at the heart of the vision of science education presented in the Standards . The teaching standards provide criteria for making judgments about progress toward the vision; they describe what teachers of science at all grade levels should understand and be able to do. To highlight the importance of teachers in science education, these standards are presented first. However, to attain the vision of science education described in the Standards , change is needed in the entire system. Teachers are central to education, but they must not be placed in the position of being solely responsible for reform. Teachers will need to work within a collegial, organizational, and policy context that is supportive of good science teaching. In addition, students must accept and share responsibility for their own learning. In the vision of science education portrayed by the Standards , effective teachers of science create an environment in which they and students work together as active learners. While students are engaged in learning about the natural world and the scientific principles needed to understand it, teachers are working with their colleagues to expand their knowledge about science teaching. To teach science as portrayed by the Standards , teachers must have theoretical and practical knowledge and abilities about science, learning, and science teaching.
