NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar: Studying the Human Physiological Limits of Exploring Mars
Archive of the web seminar recorded May 13, 2009. Part of the NSDL Series of NSTA Web Seminars for the 2008-2009 school year in partnership with the American Physiological Society.
NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar: Arctic and Antarctic Birds
Did you know that of the 17 penguin species, only a few live or nest in Antarctica? Or that many of our familiar bird species from the mid-latitudes migrate to breed in polar regions? While we’re all familiar with Emperor penguins, there are many other fascinating birds that call the polar regions home at least part of the year. In this session, develop your own content knowledge and learn how to use birds to promote inquiry, teach physical science concepts, and integrate hands-on science instruction with reading strategies and other literacy skills.
NSTA :: Biome Is Where the Art Is
From the NSTA Learning Center: This Science and Children article (free for NSTA members, $0.99 for
nonmembers) describes an integrated performance task that assesses
students' understanding of the biomes of the earth.
NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar Series
Join us for a series of Web Seminars developed in collaboration with the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) focusing on a variety of science topics and targeting K-12 grade level educators. All web seminars will include information and resources for educators available on the NSDL website. Presenters are well-respected, veteran educators from NSDL and other professional organizations with diverse backgrounds and experience
Media Literacy in the 21st Century: WGBH Teachers' Domain
This web seminar is a part of the NSDL Series for the NSTA Learning Center. The presentation focuses on strategies for educators to use to ensure the use of online resources from reliable and academically sound sources.
JCE Digital Library: DigiDemos
"DigiDemos" is the Web-based version of the Journal of Chemical Education's Tested Demonstration feature, and part of NSDL.
Water-an enduring mystery : Nature, March 2008
Citing for article by Philip Ball. Fee for accessing full article.
From the abstract: Yet another theory of liquid water structure raises questions about interdisciplinarity, drug design, astrobiology, molecular biology, geochemistry and more.
Water Cycle for Middle School Science Teachers Content Knowledge
From the Middle School Math and Science Portal: Background Information for Teachers related to water and the water cycle. Links to resources, activites and standards
Teachers' Domain: Ocean Temperatures and Climate Patterns
From WGBH Teachers' Domain (http://www.teachersdomain.org): Interactions between Earth's atmosphere and oceans drive weather and climate patterns. Although these interactions and patterns are complex, they are also predictable. This animation from The New Media Studio explains precipitation patterns by illustrating how differences in ocean surface temperatures create wind, and how wind patterns can in turn affect ocean surface temperatures.
General Chemistry Multimedia Problems
General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material. Order through the Journal of Chemical Education
Water: Properties and Behavior
From the NSDL Middle School Pathway collection, a primer for properties of water from Visionlearning.com. Check out the video used in the seminar called "Jesus Lizard"
Solubility Animations from CSERD
Introduction to Chemistry: Shockwave animations related to solubility from CSERD (Computational Science Education Reference Desk http://cserd.nsdl.org)
JCE Software: Periodic Table Live!
Periodic Table Live! allows you to explore a broad range of information about the elements, their reactions, their properties, their structures and their histories.
Activities with Water from ACS
Student activities from the American Chemical Society as a part of the Chem ED digital library
Molecules 360
View water molecule using Chem Ed DL's Molecule 360 software. It shows you a water molecule that you can manipulate and move around, adding atom labels, electric properties, etc.
