John Ensworth at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies and the NASA Science Mission Directorate invite you to attend an upcoming online professional development workshop.
Topic: Enrichment Problems in Space Science XVI
In the sixteenth bi-monthly installment of these mission- and inquiry-oriented mathematics problems, Dr. Sten Odenwald will supply background for and lead participants through problems from his “Problems in Space Science” series. The goal of these problems is to teach students about space weather by using mathematics. Each problem begins with real world questions, missions and situations, and applies the necessary mathematics for a solution. Participants may ask questions and work along in this fully interactive Webinar environment. http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov
Date: Friday, Nov. 13, 2009
Time: 3:00 p.m., EST (Greenwich Mean Time -05:00, New York)

These activities comprise a series of 36 practical mathematics applications in space science. This collection of activities is based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to teachers during 2005-2006 school year. The problems in this booklet investigate science and mathematics concepts such as radiation effects on humans and technology, solar science, algebra, trigonometry and calculus. The problems are authentic glimpses of modern engineering issues that arise in designing satellites to work in space. Each word problem has background information providing insight into the basic phenomena of the sun-Earth system, specifically space weather. The one-page assignments are accompanied by one-page teacher guides with answer keys.

A series of curriculum supplements from the National Institutes of Health aimed at promoting science education achievement is now aligned to individual state education standards in science, math, health and English language arts for grades K-12. This cross-curricular alignment, unique to each state, shows educators how the NIH curriculum supplements will help them meet specific learning goals for students and spells out the usefulness of the series nationwide. This series is free to educators upon request.
The ongoing series promotes inquiry-based, interdisciplinary learning. The series currently includes 16 supplements on such topics as genetics, infectious diseases and cell biology. The supplements — consistent with the National Science Education Standards — combine cutting-edge science research discoveries and real scientific data from NIH with state of the art instructional materials for grades K-12. The National Institutes of Health is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
To request free supplements or learn about how they are aligned with individual state standards, visit the NIH Office of Science Education Web site at http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements

Each year, an increasing number of high schools turn to the Advanced Placement Program as a model of educational excellence. These advanced students require challenging materials to keep them focused on their studies and to help give them insight into the limitless array of options in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
NASA’s Space Exploration AP project provides challenging supplemental problems, based on space exploration topics, for students in AP classes. These problems are formatted to practice for the “free response” section of an AP exam. This project engages students by providing real-world applications to promote problem-solving ideas and expose students to careers working in space exploration.
