These materials will be designed to help increase middle school students' understanding of essential ideas about weather and climate. Our objective is to provide a wide audience of teachers, curriculum developers, teacher education faculty, and professional development providers with online access to a set of high-quality and interrelated activities built around Earth, ocean, and atmospheric phenomena and representations that can supplement or enrich their existing lessons or be integrated into new curriculum materials. This collection of climate literacy materials will be carefully aligned to the learning goals in Climate Literacy: the Essential Principles of Climate Science and in national and state science content standards. By disseminating this online collection widely within the science education community, we also aim to expand the use of NOAA-related scientific data, simulations, animations, and other types of representations in middle school curriculum materials and instruction and to stimulate research on how these materials can be used most effectively.","Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance, North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE), Technical Education Research Centers / TERC, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Center for Science Education, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Center for Science Education, Montgomery County Public Schools" "Installation of Science On a Sphere at Discovery Science Center of Orange County (Priority 1)","Discovery Cube Orange County (OC)","2008: ELG for Spherical Display Systems for Earth Systems Science-Installations & Content",2009,NA09SEC4690004,"$199,943","Kellee Preston",California,"Santa Ana",Orange,CA46,"33.77011, -117.86753","2009-09-01T00:00:00 - 2010-08-31T00:00:00","Discovery Science Center of Orange County (DSC) proposes a cooperative agreement with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to install Science On a Sphere (SOS) spherical display system showing Earth system science in DSC's informal educational science center under Priority 1 of this funding opportunity. With the closest SOS display system located in Northern California, installation of this technology at DSC will provide access to NOAA's data by over 400,000 students, their families and educators from Southern California annually. As partners, DSC will ensure that NOAA data sets are incorporated into educational resources that align with California State Science Standards and will meet NOAA educational plan goals.","University of California at Irvine"
