I am curious. Galileo's book was banned reading for a time, but what was decided regarding the usage of telescopes. Was the telescope once considered contraband or even an instrument of crime? If so, what was done with those who possessed knowledge about the telescope's construction?

I sincerely believe that all teachers and administrators should keep abreast with current trends information in education especially science, what was true yesterday maybe not be true tomorrow. Space travel has changed a lot.
Teaching evolution a different way, some people think there always has to be a right answer.
I feel enlighten , refreshed, more confident to teach science because of these sessions. It began with Brain and Behavior, Diversity and Discovery, now Bridging Cultures. It is different yet connected and useful.
Thank you for the opportunity to learn, network and have fun.

We were just wondering how to link EVOLUTION that we have been discussing today with the institute topic, BRIDGING CULTURES. How do they relate and how can we put these together in the classrooms as teachers?
On the other hand could it be that the topic of evolution and all other surrounding stories are regarded as various cultures to bridge? If that is it then why EVOLUTION? Just curious!!.

FYI
The eastern convention will be held during March 27-30 here in Philadelphia. I advise folks to join the NSTA, so as to receive appropriate discounts at the convention. I believe membership dues are still only $67. The cost is tax deductible. The 2004 convention will be held in Virginia. Did somebody say roadtrip?

Today's lecture is very much like the constructivist method of teaching,
students are allowed to take ownership of their own learning. Students
poise questions about topics or ideas that they want answers to, somewhat
like action research, in that they are experiencing a discomfort with the
way things are and, therefore, there is a need to address that discomfort.
In terms of the CLUMPINESS OF LIFE of I would have to get this information
directly from a book or other resources in order to address this concept.

Try to identify each of the four elements identified below. Hint: These elements belong to the same family (group), the members of which are all gases at room temperature.
1. commonly used in advertizing signs.
2. first discovered on the sun and used in weather balloons.
3. first element of this group to be formed into compounds with another element.
4. the member of this family (group) present in the largest amount in air.

the lesson approach taught by paul g. this morning was extremely stimulating to me as a educator/student.basically because it made me evaluate my own critical thinking skills and how i would address certain science related topics.i strongly believe that all teachers would benefit from this type of teaching style. however, in order for teachers to adopt this type of teaching method it will take a great deal of professional development and field experience with a mentor as a facilitator to support the teacher with implementing the new teaching method. i just have a concern about turn around training which is not how i really feel it should be labeled because its not a one time thing.hopefully you understand my dilemma regarding these comments.

The following web sites will be quite useful to elementary school teachers who have little on no training in Internet exploration themselves. The lessons are presented in a step by step manner and are ideal for small or large grouping of students. Enjoy!

The different search engines we visited have suggestions on the hunt for materials to teach science in the classroom. Where there are broad topics but no specifics some search engines have explicitly highlighted particular areas of probable lessons. Also adding fun and humor to the teaching of science could be found through some of these search engines.
Lesson plans breakdown by subject or topic will be of tremendous help to us as classroom teachers.
Following search engines were utilized;
1. Yahoo.
2. Dogpile.
3. Discovery.com.
4. AskEric.
5. AskJeeves.
6. Google.
