Free online science education resource
August 4, 2011
A free science education resource for Alaska educators is now available online. Developed by the UAF Geophysical Institute under contract to the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, the Alaska K-12 Science Curricular Initiative is designed to help teachers bring cutting-edge Alaska research to K-12 classrooms.
The site features more than 300 physical, earth and life science lessons based on
research being conducted throughout the state. Lessons were created to address the
state’s grade-level science expectations and incorporate Alaska Native culture and
traditional wisdom. State education commissioner Michael Hanley has endorsed the resources
offered by AKSCI.
