  • Measurement Activities for Increasing Student Curiosity for Animal and Space Topics
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 438 162 SE 063 161 AUTHOR Rule, Audrey C., Ed. TITLE Measurement Activities for Increasing Student Curiosity for Animal and Space Topics. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 70p. PUB TYPE Guides.- Classroom Teacher (052) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Animals; Elementary Education; Mathematics Activities; *Measurement; Science Education; *Space Sciences ABSTRACT This document presents a resource for elementary teachers in the form of a collection of facts and measurements of animals and planets to be used in generating student interest for these different topics. It is suggested that the teacher make an overhead transparency of the measurements related to the current topic, then have students guess at what is being measured. Part of this activity, aside from arousing student curiosity, allows the teacher to diagnose what students know about the topic and focus their attention. Measurements for the animal and solar system topics include: (1) "Sharks" (Deborah Smith); (2) "Bats" (Sharissa Entrichel and Liz Osvold); (3) "Brown Rats" (Jolene Dockstader); (4) "Blue Whales" (John Pattis); (5) "The Solar System: Mars" (Cindy Hurst); and (6)"The Solar System: Saturn" (Lupe Rodriguez).

The rapid membership growth of the club and its involvement in environmental issues on a national scale left neither time nor resources to document the club's internal and external history. Club records were stored in a number of locations and were inaccessible for research. Further, we were failing to take advantage of the relatively new technique of oral history by which the reminiscences of club leaders and members of long standing could be preserved. The ad hoc committee's recommendation that a standing History Committee be established was approved by the Sierra Club Board of Directors in May 1970. That September the board designated The Bancroft Library of the University of California at Berkeley as the official depository of the club's archives.
