Journey North: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/ Join the many schools that track the coming of spring by participating in (viewing) the global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change across N. America. Migrating monarch butterflies, hummingbirds and robins, budding of plants and changing sunlight are some of the field observations students can make. (Lesson plans, activities and information available at the website.) Patterns of Inheritance: This is a link to the Student Notebook for "Patterns of Inheritance" presented at the 2006 STANYS Conference. (Student Notebook) SkyTellers: www.lpi.usra/education/skytellers (PDF file: Skytellers Guide (PDF file)) The Lunar and Planetary Institute has made available to schools a DVD set which contains 10 Native American and science story couplets - one for each topic. The classroom use of this set is from K - 12 depending on the topic chosen. Some of the stories/science are for elementary level (age 5 - 12), others can be used just for the story. |
