| Collection Name: | Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2)
|
|---|
| Collection Description: | The Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2) identifies digital resources that support reform-based middle school math and science teaching and learning. Its Mathematics Pathway and Science Pathway present standards-based publications that take an in-depth look at teachable concepts in math and science. All resources are examined with the following criteria in mind: content of the resource is accurate; it promotes student learning; it aligns with one or more national math and/or science education standards; it is grade-level appropriate; it promotes equity and access; and the resource is easily navigable. A blog called Connecting News to National Science Education Standards encourages science teachers to integrate current events into their instruction. Users can also search or browse by subject lists and register to be notified when new content is posted to the site. |

| Collection Name: | DLESE: Digital Library for Earth System Education
|
|---|
| Collection Description: | DLESE's mission is to improve the quality, quantity, and efficiency of teaching and learning about the Earth System, by developing, managing, and providing access to high-quality educational resources and supporting services through a community-based, distributed digital library. Intended users include students, educators and citizens of all ages, in both formal and informal learning environments. The collection favors resources that convey linkages and connections; the general with the specific, theory with evidence, global with local, and that demonstrate the application of science to solving real world problems. This includes providing access to Earth data sets and imagery, and the tools and interfaces that enable their effective use. DLESE resources are community-contributed, by individuals, organizations, and formal collection efforts. |

| Resource Title: | To the Ends of the Earth: Research in Polar Seas
|
|---|
| Description: | In this lesson students will discover the differences between Arctic and Antarctic terrains, learn the hardships imposed on polar explorers by climate and terrain, and explain how modern technologies have expedited polar exploration. The teacher will read the opening to this lesson to the class and initiate a discussion about the hardships inherent in polar exploration and what preparations are necessary to undertake a trip there. The students will then explore Web sites about famous expeditions to the North and South Poles, work in small groups and study in more detail a specific journey, and brainstorm about what they would need to do to prepare for such a journey. Each group will create a log of a journey that describes some of the hardships. As an extension, students can research modern-day exploration of the poles to learn what is left to discover. |
