-- NEW SCIENCE AND MATH RESOURCES AT FREE WEBSITE

 

More than thirty Federal agencies formed a working group in 1997 to make
hundreds of federally supported teaching and learning resources easier
to find. The result of that work is the Federal Resources for
Educational Excellence (FREE) <http://www.free.ed.gov/>  website. The
following are recent additions in the areas of science, mathematics, and
technology:

 

* Space Food and Nutrition Educator Guide
<http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/S
pace_Food_and_Nutrition_Educator_Guide.html>  explores looks at the
history of preparing and packaging foods that taste good, provide
necessary nutrients, and travel well in space. (National Aeronautics and
Space Administration)

 

* Computing Life <http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/computinglife>
looks at ways physicists, biologists, and artists are harnessing the
power of computers to advance our understanding of biology and human
health. Learn how computers are used to simulate the spread of flu
through a school, the movement of cells in our bodies, and the beating
of a heart. Find out how computers help in the search for gene
variations that could lead to disease. (National Institutes of Health)

 

* Suited for Spacewalking Educator Guide
<http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/S
uited_for_Spacewalking_Educator_Guide.html>  examines the technology
behind space suits. Students learn about the environment of space, the
history of spacewalking, NASA's current space suit, future space suits,
and work that astronauts do during spacewalks. (National Aeronautics and
Space Administration)

 

* Voyages Through Time <http://www.voyagesthroughtime.org/>  is a
year-long integrated science curriculum for 9th or 10th grade based on
the theme of evolution. It is presented in six modules: cosmic
evolution, planetary evolution, origin of life, evolution of Life,
hominid evolution, and evolution of technology. Individual modules can
be used in discipline-based science courses such as biology, earth
science, geology, or astronomy. (Learning in Motion, National Science
Foundation)
