Eklose_ESRI_gisandstandards
The Intersection of Science Standards and the Real World
Erika Klose, West Virginia Department of Education
GIS is increasingly being used in classrooms in the state of West Virginia, through a state-wide K-12 license through ESRI. While GIS most easily lends itself to geography and the environmental sciences, it is also a powerful teaching tool in other disciplines. GIS can be used in teaching traditionally non-spatial topics, by adding a geospatial slant to a chosen type of data. This presentation will include a series of lessons designed to teach core science knowledge with a geospatial slant, the end goal being the intersection of standards-based core science content and real world applications. This presentation will also showcase a partnership between a number of WV GIS professional organizations and classroom teachers seeking to add authentic GIS experiences to their student’s education.

The following PowerPoint provides an overview of the hands-on-minds-on, inquiry, and standards-based STEM investigations Stenstrom Elementary teachers conducted during a two-day STEM teacher training workshop conducted in June 2013. Teachers were introduced to Techniques to develop and strengthen students critical thinking skills, reflective journaling in the STEM classroom, materials science, bridge building, using blocks in the STEM classroom, solar energy, how to use the schoolyard for STEM walks, exploring patterns and shapes in nature and in man-made designs, connecting math and architecture concepts, and introduction to reverse engineering concepts. To find out more about the STEM teacher training workshops Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski provides national and worldwide check out her website at: http://www.dianawehrellgrabowski.comprograms_183
This document summarizes an article about high school science internship programs that place students directly in university and private research labs during the summer. It discusses how the hands-on research experience inspires students about science careers and shows them that science is not just memorizing facts, but involves real-world problem solving and an embrace of failure. The internships benefit both students and researchers. Students gain job experience and inspiration, while researchers benefit from the extra help on their projects. The article profiles several students and their research at Stanford, UC Santa Cruz, and other local institutions. It also discusses the growing demand for STEM careers and efforts to expand access to internships.
Palo Alto Weekly Article. 2015
The document discusses high school student internships in science research laboratories. It describes several students interning at places like Stanford University and UC Santa Cruz, helping with tasks like analyzing DNA sequences and cataloging fossils. The internships aim to inspire students about science careers by giving them hands-on research experience beyond the classroom.

Lesson plan 1[1]
This lesson plan introduces the concept of density to middle school students through hands-on activities and examples. Students explore how density relates to the amount of mass packed into a given volume. The activities demonstrate that an object is more dense if:
1) More mass is packed into the same volume, like a overpacked suitcase.
2) The same mass is packed into a smaller volume, like crushed styrofoam.
3) Density depends on both mass and volume, not mass alone, as shown by a bag of styrofoam chips appearing heavier than a paperclip despite having less density.
Lesson plan 2[1]
This mathematics lesson teaches high school students how to factor trinomial expressions using the FOIL method and a technique called the "smiling man" to check their work. Students will factor trinomials with at least 90% accuracy. The teacher demonstrates factoring (x+2)(x+3) on the board, explaining how to draw lines to represent the FOIL process. Students are then given the expression x^2 - 5x + 6 to factor using the smiling man technique to check their results.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
