What's New with LINCS
and the National Institute for Literacy?
Highlighting the Science & Numeracy
Special Collection
The National Institute for Literacy Science and Numeracy Special Collection
provides annotated links to Internet sites that are useful for teaching
and learning about science and numeracy. The topics have been arranged
according to the national education standards in science and in numeracy.
The collection emphasizes the ways in which science and math skills are
important to understanding the world around us.
The site includes a section for learners with links to expert-reviewed
online resources for direct and independent use by learners. A section
for
instructors links to expert-reviewed websites with a variety of curricular
material, learning activities, and lesson plans.
The Showcase feature offers exciting web links, learner activities,
and teacher resources on hot topics. Current and archived Showcase topics
include:
Ocean Drifters: Investigating Ocean Currents The ocean is constantly
in motion. Ocean water moves in waves, tides, and
currents. But how, exactly? That's what scientists want to know.
Earthquakes Shake! Rattle! Roll! Earthquakes happen all over the world
on land and sea. Have you ever been in an earthquake?
Wildland Fires Fires start for many different reasons. Are all fires
bad?
Volcanoes What are they? Where can they be found? What causes
them?
Plane Math Lift-Off This award-winning website gives us excellent
opportunities for using math in problem-solving situations. It combines
the science of aeronautics with math skills and processes.
