The American Geophysical Union (AGU) has launched a new video series entitled Live Education Activity Resource Network (LEARN) with AGU. This series of short Earth and space science-related videos for K-12 educators gives you the tools you need to try new hands-on activities with your students, complete with teacher guides and other resources.
The Association of American Geographers (AAG) offers an array of web resources for K-12 and college-level instruction. Reinforcing this year’s Earth Science Week theme of “Mapping Our World,” these materials support geographic approaches to Earth science education:
The Lunar and Planetary Institute and JHU’s Applied Physics Laboratory will be holding a free week-long institute about the Moon this summer at Laurel, MD, for high school science teachers. An application form are available online at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/workshops/unknownMoon/.
We do hope many high school teachers are able to apply.
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) offers second- through fifth-year middle and high school science teachers the opportunity to participate in the New Science Teacher Academy, a yearlong professional development and mentoring program co-founded with a grant from the Amgen Foundation. Emphasizing quality science teaching, enhanced teacher confidence, classroom excellence, and solid content knowledge, participants (Academy Fellows) enjoy top-notch face-to-face and online support and access to comprehensive educational resources.
Women@NASA has created five-week virtual mentoring projects for middle school (grades 5-8) female students. Through Skype or Google Chat, girls are mentored by a NASA employee – it could be an engineer, accountant, scientist, or astronaut.
