Archive: Science Update: Using the Nutrition Facts Label to Meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, October 19, 2023

The FDA recently updated the requirements for nutrition labeling that appear on most packaged food products. This presentation will review the major changes in the Nutrition Facts label, explain why they were necessary, and describe how the label can be used to help meet federal dietary guidelines aimed at promoting health and preventing chronic diseases.  Participants will learn practical tips for choosing and preparing foods for themselves and their families which are consistent with the healthy dietary patterns described in the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Archive: Science Update: From Apollo to Artemis: NASA’s Return to the Moon, February 16, 2023

More than 50 years after the Eagle landed at Tranquility Base, NASA has begun its campaign to return astronauts to the surface of our Moon. Named after the mythical twin sister of Apollo, the Artemis program aims to establish a permanent base of operations on the lunar surface and in lunar orbit, all in preparation for sending astronauts further out into our solar system.

Middle School    |    Formative Assessment Probe

Nails in a Jar

By Page Keeley

The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students’ ideas about conservation of matter during a chemical change (oxidation). The probe is designed to find out if students think the mass changes as rust forms inside a closed system.

Burning Paper

By Page Keeley

The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students’ ideas about conservation of matter during combustion. The probe is designed to find out if students think the mass changes as paper burns inside a closed system.

Iron Bar

By Page Keeley

The purpose of this assessment probe is to elicit students’ ideas about atoms. The probe is specifically designed to determine whether students can use the idea of atoms to explain why a metal expands when heated. Furthermore, older students’ explanations may reveal whether these students use the kinetic molecular theory to explain how heating causes the atoms to vibrate more, thus pushing the atoms apart.
