The Department of Chemical Engineering at Curtin University of Technology, a fully established academic department, is well respected for its undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Research activities in the department have progressed substantially in the past 10 years and these continue to grow with participation in two CRCs, namely, the AJ Parker CRC for Hydrometallurgy and Coal in Sustainable Development.
The California Science Project (CSP) is a university-based professional development network for teachers of science at ALL levels. This statewide network works toward the common goal of improving science education for all students in California. CSP sites exist across the state at campuses of the California State University, the University of California and independent colleges/universities. For the past 12 years, the CSP has been, and continues to be, a regional provider of services to schools and districts seeking to strengthen their science programs and science instruction consistent with the California Science Framework and the California Science Content Standards. The CSP regional sites continue to grow across the state of California.
Drawing upon our experience over the last ten years with the Computer as Learning Partner (CLP) project, we offer this book as a guide. Rather than a quick fix, we advocate a process of continuous improvement for science education in which teachers, scientists, educational researchers, technology specialists, curriculum designers, and students work together as partners to improve learning outcomes.
For fifteen years the Computer as Learning (CLP) partnership has studied how students learn science and how to make scientific knowledge accessible and relevant to them, not only for the time spent in the middle school or high school classroom but also for the rest of their lives.
This site offers science activities for students and teachers.
The goal of this web site is to help child appreciate science. We looked at some of the best science projects from some of the best museums in the country. Then we adapted them for the Web. Some of these activities are entirely electronic. Your child will do everything on screen. Others require you to go to your kitchen or backyard. They are designed for students in kindergarten through second or third grade.
This Gateway provides links to resources in mathematics and science for educators and students in grades 9-12, although teachers of other levels may find these materials helpful. The Math & Science Gateway has won numerous awards and hopes to increase our success with input from internet community. We are committed to providing a wide range of educational resources to the national community.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's ELSI in Science program is a pilot project designed to stimulate discussions on the implications of selected areas of scientific research. These modules probably will be most useful to educators and students at the middle school through high school level.
Online since 1993, the Exploratorium was one of the first science museums to build a site on the World Wide Web. Our site now contains over 15,000 Web pages exploring hundreds of different topics. We currently serve fifteen million visitors a year. That makes us one of the most visited museum Web sites in the world.
This site strives to impart a world class educational program that leads to both flight and non-flight aviation careers. The success of our graduates from these programs, and our international reputation for excellence speaks volumes about our programs.
This site provides examples of a few simple activities we can do with our children. It is an introduction to the wealth of material in many other books available in libraries and bookstores. It might also inspire us to make up our own experiments to see why and how things turn out the way they do.
HowStuffWorks is widely recognized as the leading source for clear, reliable explanations of how everything around us actually works. Through the flagship Web site HowStuffWorks.com, a popular series of books, an acclaimed kids' magazine, as well as many other ventures, the award-winning company has helped demystify the world for millions of curious people.
Imaginova™ is an integrated multimedia content and commerce company capturing people’s fascination with space, science and technological innovation across consumer, education and professional markets.
Each page explores a step in the frog dissection process, beginning with the materials set up and concluding with a review and quiz. Each step is illustrated with images and links to additional facts, movies and activities.
The JASON Foundation for Education, founded in 1989 by Dr. Robert D. Ballard, is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization headquartered in Needham Heights, Massachusetts. Its mission is to inspire in students a life-long passion for learning in science, math, and technology through hands-on, real-world scientific discovery.
The KIE curriculum involves students in projects in which they work with scientific evidence. KIE currently supports debate, critique, and design projects. KIE can be used by science classes or for personal projects. When used in a classroom, KIE can complement other curricula such as laboratories.
Students using KIE reflect on their own scientific ideas while considering new evidence. Looking at information on the Web is necessary but not sufficient to complete a KIE project. Students must analyze evidence, producing scientific explanations for real world phenomena. They learn how to create their own evidence related to a science topic and to design problem solutions based on scientific principles.
This site's goal is to give you an educational experience, about volcanoes, using online resources.
Here's your opportunity to learn more about NASA as an agency. Explore the many facets of NASA, from our administration and leadership, to our mission and vision for the future, to business, research and career opportunities.
NASA will provide a wealth of resources that are safe, fun, and educational for your students. You can expect them to find reliable information on space-related topics, as well as games, Web quests, and even chats with NASA experts.
This website is an overview of the history, mythology, and current scientific knowledge of each planet and the major moons in our solar system. Each page has my text and NASA's images, some have sounds and movies, most provide references to additional related information.
Find all your classroom tools here, including classroom activities, TV program descriptions, related NOVA resources, and interactives for students.
The Office of Science reaches out to America’s youth in grades K-12 and their teachers to help improve students’ knowledge of science and mathematics and their understanding of global energy and environmental challenges.
This site provides resources on meteorology and weather sciences.
The Science Activities Manual: K - 8 has been written to aid in the adaptation of the "Touch Science Concept" to the elementary/middle school classroom. Each terminal/content objective has been organized into a classroom connector which begins with a Set and ends with a Closure. The Science Activities Manual: K - 8 was drawn with the National Science Education Standards.
The Science Pages include links as varied as Astronomy to Weather and Meteorology. Learning Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry can now be fun and a mouse click away.
This web site is for science teachers to share ideas. It provides labs, demonstrations, and many other types of information which teachers can access.
