We collaborated with staff from the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Physics, and the American Geological Institute as well as with science educators and teachers of integrated science from across the country to study the sta- tus and structure of current programs in integrated science and the potential need for others. We intend this guide to provide teachers, schools, and districts a framework within which to think about the process of implementing an integrated science program and to prepare for the changes that will be a necessary part of that process. Because any significant change can be challenging, it is important that all stakeholders think carefully and clearly about the process before setting out on the journey. This guide will help structure that process. We begin

    Monday, April 28, 2008 The buzz over the big machine A remarkable machine—the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—will soon come to life in a 27-km tunnel located deep beneath the Jura mountains outside of Geneva, Switzerland. Sometime in late summer or early fall of this year, the first beam of protons will begin circulating in the largest particle accelerator ever built by the international high-energy physics community. Its completion and initial commissioning constitute the culmination of a decade-long, $4 billion (current-dollar cost) project, funded by more than 30 countries, at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), headquartered in Geneva. For more than a century, physicists have used directed beams of subatomic particles to explore the fundamental constituents of the physical world. Indeed, the notion of particles smaller than atoms was confirmed by J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron in 1897 in his Cambridge University laboratory. Thomson produced a primitive beam of electrons in a glass tube no bigger than the first television receiver tubes. Several years later Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in the same laboratory. Rutherford measured the deflection through a gold foil of a beam of alpha particles (each a tiny parcel consisting of two protons and two neutrons) emitted by a sample of radium. From those primitive experiments, physicists have designed, built, and employed a century-long series of "atom smashers," or particle accelerators, to explore the constituents of matter—the family of subatomic particles that have been discovered since Thomson's time. The machines have also given us a glimpse of the early universe evolving from the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago.

    Summary of Accomplishments – Bascom S

    Summary of Accomplishments – Bascom S. Deaver, Jr. Introduction A university professor is expected to conduct research to generate new knowledge, teach, and provide service to the university and the broader community. Bascom Deaver has done all of these, and they are so interwoven so that it is difficult to discern where one ends and another begins. He exemplifies what a university professor should be. Research Bascom’s research is focused on superconductivity and its applications. His research began with his Ph.D. work at Stanford, where his thesis experiment was the discovery that the magnetic flux threading a superconducting ring is quantized. The flux is the product of magnetic field through the ring and the area of the ring, and the flux quantum is hc/2e, where h is Planck’s constant and e is the charge of the electron. In macroscopic units, hc/2e = 2 × 10 -7 G cm 2, which is the earth’s field (~1/2 G) through a circle of diameter 7 × 10 -4 cm. This experiment provided the first experimental evidence for the pairing of electrons in superconductors predicted by Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer. The quantum of flux was quickly recognized as a fundamental property of superconductors, and as a result of this work Bascom is known all over the world. After coming to the University of Virginia Bascom continued his basic research on superconductivity and went on to explore its applications. His thesis work showed that flux was quantized, but the data were too noisy to see the sharp steps in flux vs. magnetic field which quantization implies.

Exploration…appears to be a cultural invention…. Its vitality as an institution depends on the vitality of the whole civilization with which it interacts. To survey the motives for exploration is to survey all the motives that animate a thriving civilization…. “The point is that exploration must share and participate in a moral universe with its civilization. This is not a question of purpose so much as legitimacy. In this sense exploration is a shared act of faith. It reinforces and reinterprets in updated garb myths, beliefs, and archetypes basic to its originating civilization.” Stephen Pyne, “The Third Great Age of Discovery,” The Scientifi c and Histori- cal Rationales for Solar System Exploration, Space Policy Institute, George Washington University, Washington, D.C., 1988 iii iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface.................................................................................................................................................................vii Program ............................................................................................................................................................... ix Welcome, Gilbert M.
