Participate in Authentic Scientific Research
NASA and Arizona State University’s Mars Education Program is offering students nationwide the opportunity to be involved in authentic Mars research by participating in the Mars Student Imaging Project (MSIP). Teams of students in grades 5–12 will work with scientists, mission planners and educators at Arizona State University’s Mars Space Flight Facility to image a site on Mars using the visible wavelength camera onboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, which is currently orbiting Mars every two hours. National Science Education Standards–aligned MSIP curriculum has been developed to fit within existing science curriculum using real-world science instead of worksheets or simulations. Student teams can participate in one of three formats for image reception activities: On-site at the Mars Space Flight Facility in Tempe, Arizona; Distance Learning; or Archived Data.

Go on a Math Mission
Tabula Digita has released a new version of the educational video game Math Evolver: Virus Origin, which teaches pre-algebra skills. This engaging math program has an ESRB Rating of E10+ (Everyone 10+) for mild fantasy violence and is suitable for children in grades 6–9. The game captivates students with exciting visuals and first-person action adventures while incorporating key algebraic concepts. The contemporary simulation format features high-end 3-D graphics, sound, animation and storylines comparable to those found in most popular video games. But the math game offers far more than action-packed entertainment: the five missions embed lessons aligned with the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and adhere to learning research in the areas of math and gaming.

Bolster Children’s Oral Vocabulary
“Martha Speaks,” the new animated series from the WGBH creators of “Curious George” and “Arthur,” and Vancouver’s Studio B Productions, premieres on September 1, 2008 on PBS KIDS (check your local listings). The series stars Martha, a beloved family dog, who accidentally is fed alphabet soup that gives her the power of human speech and the chance to speak her mind to anyone who will listen. Based on Susan Meddaugh’s book series about Martha the talking dog, “Martha Speaks” is built on a curriculum designed to bolster the oral vocabulary of four- to seven-year-olds. Each episode features two 11-minute stories (including six adapted from the classic books) that showcase Martha’s linguistic abilities and the hilarious consequences they provoke—all with a goal of engaging children and expanding their vocabulary. The “Martha Speaks” Web site has engaging games, videos and activities that help youngsters learn new words.

Promote Science Readiness
SID THE SCIENCE KID is a new educational animated television series using comedy to promote exploration, discovery and science readiness among preschoolers. The 40 half-hour episodes, co-produced by The Jim Henson Company and KCET/Los Angeles for PBS KIDS® , debuted on September 1, 2008. The series uses music and humor to celebrate children’s natural curiosity about science in everyday life.

Why do bananas get mushy?) and embarks on a fun-filled day of finding answers with the help of family and friends. The SID THE SCIENCE KID Web site helps caregivers to build a strong foundation for early science exploration. The site models scientific inquiry in everyday settings: a kitchen, classroom and playground.
