Internet Scout Project
Newton's Apple, the award-winning national science program for kids, has a companion Web site with lots of good lesson plans and activities. The Science Try Its page contains hands-on science activities from the past six seasons of shows, including such things as making a barometer and a hovercraft. Each Try It includes a description, illustration, and explanation of the science behind the result. Teachers, parents, and kids will love how easy it is to conduct experiments that can be completed w

Lecture 18
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The interviewer probes for ideas about how mountains wear down. He asks the student to draw a picture of how the mountain formed. The pictures show the student has the idea of the mountain wearing down and leveling over long periods of time but believes that it was due primarily to biological agents like lichens and mosses.
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The interviewer uses two different pictures to probe for the students' ideas about what makes the mountains wear down. To lead the student toward the idea of erosion and weathering, he asks the student which mountain is older. The student responds corretcly but uses a "shrinking" idea whoich when asked to explain, says it "had an erosion". The interviewer goes on to find out what he means by "an erosion". The stu
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The interviewer probes the student's ideas about how organisms like lichens and bacteria can break down rock. The video shows the student has some naive ideas about decomposers but does have a basic idea that there are organisms that break down rock.
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The interviewer probes for the student's ideas about how minerals come together. The student is struggling with a "like and unlike" coming together idea based on his conception of magnets.
Essential Science for Teachers: Physical Science: Session 2. The Particle Nature of Matter: Solids,
What simple idea links together all of chemistry and physics? How can a close study of the macroscopic differences among solids, liquids, and gases support a microscopic model of tiny, discrete, and constantly moving particles? In this session, participants learn how the "particle model" can be turned into a powerful tool for generating predictions about the behavior of matter under a wide range of conditions.,This segment shows the interviewer demonstrating phenomena (water, solid, air) being
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,The interviewer builds on the student's prior knowledge about sand coming from rock by probing further to find out her ideas about how the sand ends up on a beach. He tries to uncover why she thinks the sand comes from the ocean and why she thinks waves make sand out of rock. He challenges several ideas by asking her for an explanation and presenting other phenomena such as what was on a beach before the sand, w
Essential Science for Teachers: Earth and Space Science
In-depth interviews with children that uncover their ideas about the topic at hand.,This segment shows how a specific task, in this case drawing a picture, can be used to find out the student's ideas about how wind and rain can break rock. The student draws a picture of a mountain and the interviewer asks her to explain as she draws the rain and wind. This strategy helps teachers see how asking a student to draw may bring out students' ideas.
