This update includes a revision of content standards and benchmarks published in, earlier updates and the synthesis and identification of standards in new areas. Standards and benchmarks are provided for science, mathematics, history, geography, the arts, the language arts, and health. Also included are standards in thinking and reasoning and an analysis and description of knowledge and skills considered important for the workplace. Following an introduction, the second section presents an overview of the current efforts towards standards in each of these subject areas. Section 3 describes the technical and conceptual differences that have been apparent in the standards movement and the model adopted for this study. Section 4 presents key questions that should be addressed by schools and districts interested in a standards-based strategy.

Eliot wrote “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time”. Throughout history humanity has yearned to explore new worlds. However, many after travelling to new places discover that they long to return to their home. They see home in a fresh light and question why they left it in the first place. Homer’s legendary hero Odysseus explored new countries and met fascinating people and creatures but after the tragic loss of all of his men he realised that he wanted to return home to Penelope and the life he led in Ithaca: Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. Driven by curiosity many have left home to explore new worlds: the sailors who sailed across unknown, treacherous seas to explore new lands; young country boys who enlisted during the world wars to escape their country homes and explore foreign places; scientists who are planning to travel to Mars knowing that there will be no return; and even many young people who long to leave their home after school and explore new worlds but after extensive travelling discover that their home was a wonderful place.

InSight is a mission to Mars, but it is also more than a Mars mission. It will help scientists understand the formation and early evolution of all rocky planets, including Earth. In addition to InSight, a technology demonstration called Mars Cube One (MarCO) is flying separately to the Red Planet. It will test a new kind of data relay from another InSight will help us learn about the formation of Mars -- as well planet for the first time, though InSight’s success is not as all rocky planets. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech dependent on MarCO. Five Things to Know About Landing 1. Landing on Mars is difficult Only about 40 percent of the missions ever sent to Mars -- by any space agency -- have been successful. The U.S. is the only nation whose missions have survived a Mars landing. The thin atmosphere -- just 1 percent of Earth’s -- means that there’s little friction to slow down a spacecraft.
