WW Pollen Detective space GEologist activity book Space Geologist Activity Book This book features five hands-on activities designed for 8- to 12-year-olds. Each activity includes one 30- to 45-minute project and extensions. Activities can be used in any order. Also included are objectives and learning outcomes, assessment questions, ideas for a presentation or exhibit and topics for further investigation. Wonderwise learning outcomes are based on national science education standards identified by McREL (Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning), the Nebraska Educational Standards, and the National Science Education Standards developed under the direction of the National Research Council. This book incorporates concepts of inquiry-based learning and the 4-H Youth Development experiential learning model. Each youth participant should receive a copy of the activities. Copies of this book can be downloaded from the Space Geologist CD-ROM. WONDERWISE Women in Science Learning Series Wonderwise introduces you to women who have made science their career. Each kit is a comprehensive instructional package that includes a video, CD-ROM, and activity book. With these materials, leaders and youth explore the world of women scientists and discover together the fun of learning about science.

More research showed planets. Her study has made her an expert in Earth had taken this giant impact about 65 reading the marks on a planet’s surface. At a million years ago, which was just about the time meeting of scientists she looked at a map of the dinosaurs vanished, along with half the life Southern Mexico and saw something nobody forms on Earth. Scientists estimated the had noticed. The map showed a series of deep meteorite (space rock) that hit Earth was about water-filled pits.

  • Kristin Boggs Assistant Minority Leader State Representative 18Th House District
    Kristin Boggs Assistant Minority Leader State Representative 18th House District Mary Lightbody State Representative 19th House District Thank you Chair Manning, Vice Chair Bird, Ranking Member Robinson, and members of the Primary and Secondary Education committee for the opportunity to testify today on HB 312, which would designate November 23rd as Women and Girls in STEM Day. Historically, women have been vastly underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. While there have been some strides to encourage and ensure women have more STEM opportunities, the current data from the National Science Board shows that despite women making up almost half of the U.S. workforce, they still only comprise 27% of the STEM fields. According to the American Association of University Women (AAUW), “men vastly outnumber women majoring in most STEM fields in college.”1 In 2019, women were only 15.7% of those employed as engineers and architects; 25.8% of those employed in computer and mathematical occupations; 42.5% of chemists and materials scientists; and 47.7% of biological scientists. The disparities are even more prevalent for women of color in STEM at only 5% of the STEM workforce. The purpose of this legislation is to increase awareness of opportunities in STEM fields for women and girls and to increase public awareness about the need for women and girls in these fields. 1 https://www.aauw.org/resources/research/the-stem-gap/ Just a few examples of what women in STEM have accomplished this far: Radia Perlman is a revered STEM pioneer known for creating the algorithm that has made today’s Internet a reality.

What is the inventory of solar system objects and what processes are active in and among them? 2. How did the Sun’s family of planets, satellites, and minor bodies originate and evolve? 3. What are the characteristics of the solar system that lead to habitable environments? 4. How and where could life begin and evolve in the solar system? 5. What are characteristics of small bodies and planetary environments that pose hazards and/or provide resources? Planetary Science accomplishes these goals through a series of strategic-large, medium, small mission and supporting research 2 Planetary Science Division Division Director: Jim Green Deputy Director: Vacant Assistant Director for Missions: Andrea Razzaghi / GSFC Support & Communication Assistant Director for StratCom & Integ: Kristen Erickson • LaJuan Moore/PAAC Lead Secretary: Paulette Moore Access to Space Program Executive • Steven Williams/NASM PSS/Admin Support: Jackie Mackall (SMD) Rhoda Hornstein Mars Exploration Program Solar System Exploration Programs Planetary Research Doug McCuistion Vacant/Acting--New Hire (TBD) Jonathan Rall • Lil Reichenthal/Exec Officer/GSFC Secretary : Paulette Moore Secretary: Paulette Moore Michael Meyer, Chief Mars Scientist Janelle Turner/ Mars E/PO Lead
