The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N.C., Thursday, August 6, 1998 - Page 7 Interactive science website makes learning fun ".-'Teachers and parents look ing; for ways to make science relevant and interesting to teen-agers should check out Science Junction, an award- W;&ining new Web site from 'TKe Science House and the Oollege of Education and Psychology at North Carolina State University. The site features dozens of irands-on experiments and learning activities, lesson plans and interactive resource Materials for teaching and learning about science at home and in the classroom. It’s located at: http://www.ncsu.edu/science- junction/. All learning materials on Science Junction are developed in cooperation with middle- school and high-school science teachers and are pre-tested on students in grades 6-12 before being loaded onto the site. Only those that have been proved to hold students’ inter est and have won teachers’ seals of approval are included, says Dr. John C. Park, associ ate professor of mathematics and science education at NC State. New lesson plans, activities and Internet resources are added to the site every month. They are designed to fit into the state’s middle and sec ondary science curricula and arc based on the goals of the National Science Education Standards. All are structured so they can be adapted for indi vidual or group learning. “The goal of Science Junction is to forge stronger connections between educa tors at NC State and the teach ers, children and parents of our state, so that together we can promote interest in sci ence and provide resources for promoting high standards in the classroom,” Park says. From Science Junction’s homepage, visitors can link to six internal sites: Data Depot features experi ments and data sets designed for use in collaborative experi ments between classes or schools, or for use by individ ual students and their parents. Students can use the data to conduct studies on a wide range of topics, from North Carolina water quality to solar eclipses. Teacher Terminal offers interactive lesson plans and Internet resources for teachers and parents. In one lesson plan, “Carolina Coastal Science,” students can investi gate the natural and man made forces affecting the fate of the controversial Shell Island Resort, then debate the future of this and other ocean front structures threatened by coastal erosion. Since going online in late spring, this site has garnered five awards, including being named a Teacher’s Choice selection by the Well-Connected Educator. Student Station features hands-on home experiments students in grades 6-12 can try. Or students can link into the “Game Room” for science- based interactive computer games. Other links lead to Communications Bridge, which provides ways for teach ers to get in touch with each other and conduct statewide collaborative experiments; Upgrade Route, which offers resources for teachers’ profes sional development and NC State Frontiers, which high lights current research at the university. Science Junction is a collab orative project of NC State’s Science House and the College of Education and Psychology. Park and Dr. David C. Haa^e, director of The Science House, serve as project leaders. The 16-campus University of North Carolina system has selected Science Junction as its official website for outreach to N.C. science teachers, and has list ed it as a link on UNC-TVs Learning Links site. The Science House is NC State’s learning outreach pro gram for K-12 teachers and stu dents. Each year, its hands-on learning programs, teacher training workshops and other activities reach more than 20,000 students and teachers statewide.
