NSDL Science Literacy Maps

<i>Science Literacy Maps</i> are an a free interactive graphical tool that helps K-12 teachers and students understand connections between concepts that span physical sciences, earth and environmental sciences, life science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The maps also show how these concepts build upon one another across grade levels. They are based on the learning goals from the AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy, which represent a decade of research, ongoing evaluation, and evidence-based implementation. Clicking on a concept within the maps will display resources relevant to the concept, related Benchmarks, and links to related topic-focused research. The Science Literacy Maps are a collaborative effort of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), Project 2061 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Digital Learning Sciences, and the University of Colorado. <i>Editor's Note: The web tools allow developers to embed the maps in Web sites and display educational resources and other content in the maps.</i>

Title	ComPADRE: Resources for Physics and Astronomy Education
Link	http://www.compadre.org/
Description	ComPADRE is a set of communities of teachers and students in physics and astronomy and web-based collections of resources to support their needs. The communities supported by ComPADRE are groups that can benefit from the sharing of materials, information, and experiences in a web environment. Example communities include teachers of specific physics or astronomy courses, societies of undergraduate physics and astronomy students, and teachers addressing specific grade levels, such as high-school or middle-school teachers. Resources included in the collections are chosen to enhance the teaching and learning experience, and include multimedia learning objects, lesson plans, tutorials, laboratories and other student activities, and discussion forums on the use of these materials. The different collections are organized under the ComPADRE umbrella, which provides a central database (the Physical Sciences Resource Center), technical support, support for collection editors and community leaders, and the means to coordinate efforts across the communities.
