Are you a K-12 teacher teaching topics in Earth and Space Science this school year? Do you use media in your classroom? Oregon State University seeking K-12 teachers who will be teaching any of the following topics in Earth, Space or Physical Science in their science instruction in the 2018-2019 school year: Weather and climate (K-12)  Space Science, specifically solar system (K-12) and Kepler’s Laws (9-12)  Earth’s Systems, specifically land and water features, earthquakes, and volcanoes (K-8)  Waves: Light (K-2) ​  ​​Participating teachers will help them gain insights into how these online resources translate to classroom instruction. Teachers who participate in this effort will simply report back to these after they use these resources during the 2018-2019 school year through online questionnaires and focus groups, and in doing so would help them understand whether the resources were helpful in teaching and effective for student engagement and learning. Being a teacher research participant would be accompanied with a formal Certificate of Participation and a small thank you gift. For the past few years, WGBH (Boston’s PBS), in collaboration with NASA*, has been developing educational resources for K-12 teachers that address topics in Earth, Space, and Physical Science and are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. These digital media resources are free and available on PBS LearningMedia. If you believe you will use these resources and are interested in participating in the study, please follow the link below to find more information and the application for participation.
