- 7 Online Science Projects for All Grade Levels - Project Based Learning Science Activities that Connect the World
Online science projects provide active and engaged learning, along with encouraging students to develop a better understanding of science. Students are also more likely to retain the knowledge gained through these online activities, because they are more connected with the learning process. The collaborative nature of the science projects listed below help students develop the ability to work in both team-based and independent work.

- NASA - Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason 2 Begins Mapping Oceans
Less than a month after launch, the NASA-French space agency Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM)/Jason 2 oceanography satellite has produced its first complete maps of global ocean surface topography, surface wave height and wind speed.
The new data will help scientists monitor changes in global sea level and the distribution of heat in the ocean. This information is used to monitor climate change and ocean circulation, and to enable more accurate weather, ocean and climate forecasts. The data reveal patterns of sea level anomalies, which are used by scientists to calculate the speed and direction of ocean surface currents.

- Ocean Impact Map Reveals Human Reach Global
As vast as the oceans are, almost no waters remain untouched by human activities. Fishing, fertilizer runoff, pollution, shipping, climate change—these are just a few of the ways that human activities influence the oceans that cover 70 percent of Earth's surface. And in all that vastness—139 million square miles (360 million square kilometers)—less than 4 percent remains unaffected, and more than a third has suffered serious human impacts, according to a new map published in Science.

- Remote Sensing Tutorial Page 16-1
This Section surveys one general but vital idea and then addresses how the Earth Sciences community is responding to implementing the outgrowths of this idea. A new field seems to have emerged in the last 20 years. It goes by the imposing name: Earth System(s) Science. But, its ingredients have been around for a long time (some of the components make up the contents of Physical Geography textbooks). The basic notion is this: instead of treating such fields as meteorology, oceanography, botany, ecology, living creatures, aspects of geology, etc. as discrete, self-contained knowledge bases, recognize that they are all part of the same system that controls the Earth, and hence all pointed towards a central common theme, and then cross-link (integrate) the n...

- The Balanced Equation
Dow collaborated with The Keystone Center for Education to develop The Balanced Equation curriculum, which is designed to help teach students about global sustainability and the role chemistry can play in developing long-lasting solutions. It is also designed to engage students in discussions about the importance of considering people, their needs and their environment. The Balanced Equation curriculum uses a hands-on inquiry-based approach that integrates science, math, language arts and social studies education and skills in ten lesson plans. The curriculum aligns with national education standards for these academic areas.
