Washington, D.C. 20036 INTRODUCTION The NSTA STAR Awards for achievement in science teachingwere reactivated in 1968 after a 7-year period of inactivity. The 1969awards were co-sponsored and financially supported by the American Gas Association. TheSTAR program seeks to identify and recognize outstanding achievements in scienceeducation from preschool through college level. Specifically itspurpose is to encourage the development of creative ideas, techniques, and materials that will increasethe effectiveness of science education. Some goals related to this are: 1. To raise the general level of scientific literacyamong the total population. 2. To influence moreyoung people to consider careers in science, engineering, science teaching, and other related fields. 3. To assist students to develop understanding andfunctional control of basic concepts and principles from the scientific disciplines. 4. To provide opportunities and guidance forstudents to have practice and gain skill in using processes of scientific inquiry andto develop habits of creative thinking. In addition to widely reporting the.sc.. scienceteaching innovations through publi- cation, the program recognizes the winnersas follows: Substantial cash awards Bronze medallions of recognition Personal introduction at annual convention The STAR program is another effort ofthe Board of Directors to increaseoppor- tunities for participation in activitiesof the Association and to increase the prestigelevel of teachers and the profession. Entry forms for the STAR Programcan be obtained by writing to the NSTA Executive Secretary, 1201 Sixteenth Street,N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Formsare available in the early fall for the followingyear's awards. CONTENTS The Biological Science Enrichment Course for Elementary School Children (First Grand Award) 1 ROBERT L.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

James Boerio i ABSTRACT Plasma processes, including plasma etching and plasma polymerization, were investigated for the pretreatment of aluminum prior to structural adhesive bonding. Since native oxides of aluminum are unstable in the presence of moisture at elevated temperature, surface engineering processes must usually be applied to aluminum prior to adhesive bonding to produce oxides that are stable. Plasma processes are attractive for surface engineering since they take place in the gas phase and do not produce effluents that are difficult to dispose off. Reactive species that are generated in plasmas have relatively short lifetimes and form inert products.

  • The Very Forward CASTOR Calorimeter of the CMS Experiment
    EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (CERN) CERN-EP-2020-180 2021/02/11 CMS-PRF-18-002 The very forward CASTOR calorimeter of the CMS experiment The CMS Collaboration* Abstract The physics motivation, detector design, triggers, calibration, alignment, simulation, and overall performance of the very forward CASTOR calorimeter of the CMS exper- iment are reviewed. The CASTOR Cherenkov sampling calorimeter is located very close to the LHC beam line, at a radial distance of about 1 cm from the beam pipe, and at 14.4 m from the CMS interaction point, covering the pseudorapidity range of −6.6 < h < −5.2. It was designed to withstand high ambient radiation and strong magnetic fields. The performance of the detector in measurements of forward energy density, jets, and processes characterized by rapidity gaps, is reviewed using data collected in proton and nuclear collisions at the LHC. ”Published in the Journal of Instrumentation as doi:10.1088/1748-0221/16/02/P02010.” arXiv:2011.01185v2 [physics.ins-det] 10 Feb 2021 © 2021 CERN for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.

It was prepared by [President Laur.] Larsen and ran to 48 pages. It contained a list of officials and faculty members, a history of the college, an outline and a defense of the plan and courses of instruction, a section on discipline and school regulations, and a detailed listing of students at the college from the time of its founding. Larsen’s precise scholarship is apparent on every page. Not until 1883 was a second catalog published, this time in English. —from Luther College 1861–1961, pp. 113-114, by David T.

  • Item Specifications High School Osas Science Test
    ITEM SPECIFICATIONS HIGH SCHOOL OSAS SCIENCE TEST 2014 Oregon Science Standards (NGSS) Introduction This document presents item specifications for use with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These standards are based on the Framework for K-12 Science Education. The present document is not intended to replace the standards, but rather to present guidelines for the development of items and item clusters used to measure those standards. The remainder of this section provides a very brief introduction to the standards and the framework, an overview of the design and intent of the item clusters, and a description of specifications that follow. The bulk of the document is composed of specifications, organized by grade and standard. Background on the framework and standards The Framework for K-12 Science Education is organized around three core dimensions of scientific understanding. The standards are derived from these same dimensions: Disciplinary Core Ideas The fundamental ideas that are necessary for understanding a given science discipline. The core ideas all have broad importance within or across science or engineering disciplines, provide a key tool for understanding or investigating complex ideas and solving problems, relate to societal or personal concerns, and can be taught over multiple grade levels at progressive levels of depth and complexity. Science and Engineering Practices The practices are what students do to make sense of phenomena. They are both a set of skills and a set of knowledge to be internalized. The SEPs (Science and Engineering Practices) reflect the major practices that scientists and engineers use to investigate the world and design and build systems.

Some of the material contained in the guide is intended as background material for teachers. Five units are presented: The Earth, The Oceans, The Space Environment, The Atmosphere, and The Exploration of Space. The course is organized so that students proceed from the familiar, everyday world to the atmosphere and the space environment. Teaching geology in the fall takes advantage of weather conditions which permit field study. The purpose of the Earth and Space Science course is to encourage student behaviors which will be indicative of a broad understanding of man1s physical environment of earth and space as well as an awareness of the consequences which could result from changes which man may effect.(PEB) BEST COPY AVAILABLE U S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

The spacecraft missions being sent to the Moon, the rapidly values are given in various units (usually km or m and increasing volume of data needs to be integrated with lunar degrees), but these can be easily converted to the Apollo-era data that provided our first, modern whatever unit is desired. It is important to note that assessment of the Moon. To facilitate that comparison, these values are based on modeled results, rather than Apollo data needs to be rendered in formats compatible observations. with modern techniques.
