Hello Everyone,
Hope your travels went well. In this morning's NSTA Express there are
two topics of interest - particularly for the House testimony coming up.
First, NSTA has a position statement on lab science: "The Integral Role
of Laboratory Investigations in Science Instruction" :
http://www.nsta.org/positionstatement&psid=16
It is discipline neutral and describes what a good lab experience is and
a little on why students need these experiences.
Also, NSTA is developing 'anchor concepts' to help identify a smaller
set of core science concepts for students to learn. More information is
provided in Education Week:

The most recent NSTA Express is:

And finally, I've posted a few moon shots from the end of the lunar
eclipse on Saturday evening. It was a beautiful grisp night:

Looking forward to working you with all in the future!
