Oak Ridge Associated Universities Center for Science Education, created to support a fundamental, national need for improvements in science and technology education...

This multidisciplinary project can be used effectively in grades 4-5 with students of all ability levels. We expect teachers to modify the expectations and outcomes to match the developmental level of their students. This project is flexible enough to meet an individual teacher's schedule. Access to a prairie habitat enhances the student experience but is not required. This interactive Internet and hands-on project focuses on a highly engaging problem regarding potential development of a prairie site. The problem is open-ended and lends itself to a variety of investigatory directions. Students solve a problem similar to a wide variety of real-life problems in many communities...

The NTEP Collaboration is based upon teaching/learning models that are analogous to the way scientists discover knowledge and solve problems with the goal of promoting effective development efforts in science. All nine NTEP programs were designed around the use of immersion experiences that model scientific inquiry. The immersion experiences, facilitated by scientists at the laboratories, took teachers through a process of modeling inquiry, while providing science content knowledge. Teachers did the actual experiments and planning involved in scientific research and participated in the problem-solving process. The NTEP institutes also developed teacher-leadership teams that undertook systemic improvements of science education in their schools and districts. Labs offered programs as summer institutes and follow-up sessions during the academic year. The purpose of this Website is to disseminate some of those research scenarios as online classroom projects...

An interactive periodic table from Jefferson Lab...

With HOU high school curriculum materials, teachers and students at all ability levels use astronomical telescope images to explore science, math, and technology concepts. By analyzing genuine astronomical images, students become more excited about math and science...

As a world-class research facility, Jefferson Lab is a valued partner to the local, regional and national education community. Jefferson Lab's long-term commitment to science education continues to focus on increasing the number of teachers with a substantial background in math and science, strengthening the motivation and preparation of all students, especially minorities and females, and addressing the serious under representation of minorities and females in science, math, engineering and technology careers...
