As mentioned in NSTA Reports, the new year has been designated Year of Science 2009 The website has many suggestions for YoS events and ideas for building interest in science.
January’s theme is the Process and Nature of Science. But get ready for February – February 12 is the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth with events being planned around the world. So it’s fitting that the YoS theme for the month is Evolution.
The January 2009 edition of Scientific American (which you can read online) has an Evolution theme. And NSTA’s Evolution Toolkit is a comprehensive resource on the subject.
Several websites have been added to the SciLinks sites on Evolution: rEvolution, Evidence: How Do We Know What We Know?, Explorations Through Time, and The Missing Link
Although it’s not about science per se, the National Science Foundation has just published a resource entitled Math – What’s the Problem that you should look at yourself and share with your colleagues in mathematics. This special report incorporates video clips and other resources.
