Until recently, the impact of Title IX, the law forbidding sexual discrimination in education, has been limited mostly to sports. But now, under pressure from Congress, some federal agencies have quietly picked a new target: science.
This is a phenomenal website full of free educational resources for science teachers!
Along with 10 other girls chewing over rumors of ingredients like skunk
oil and pulverized fish scales, the two had traveled with parents in tow
to the Museum of Science here three weeks ago to attend a Saturday
seminar called Cosmetic Chemistry.
Sense About Science is an independent charitable trust promoting good
science and evidence in public debates. We do this by promoting respect
for evidence and by urging scientists to engage actively with a wide
range of groups, particularly when debates are controversial or difficult.
Harness the power of the Internet... wisely. WISE is a simple yet powerful learning environment where students examine realworld evidence and analyze current scientific controversies. Our curriculum projects are designed to meet standards and complement your current science curriculum, and your grade 5-12 students will find them exciting and engaging.
MORE than a decade ago, after George Cachianes, a former researcher at Genentech, decided to become a teacher, he started a biotechnology course at Lincoln High School in San Francisco. He saw the class as way of marrying basic biotechnology principles with modern lab practices — and insights into how business harvests biotech innovations for profit.
Some public high schools are giving students lab experiences that approach, or even exceed, those found in university settings. And some teachers see an economic payoff in all of this. Biotechnology, for example, remains a promising field, and companies in the industry have less math-intensive demands than electronics and computing employers. So biotech is a popular field with students and is emerging as an educational proving ground.
That's why we started My Wonderful World. It's a National Geographic-
led campaign—backed by a coalition of major national partners—to
expand geographic learning in school, at home, and in the community.
We want to give our kids the power of global knowledge.
Many people wring their hands over the state of science education and
point to the appalling performance of America’s students in
international science and math competitions. Yet some of the direst
noises about our nation’s scientific prospects may be premature. Far
from rejecting challenging science courses, students seem to be
embracing them
