SIMULATION (ABOVE): NASA Sea Currents
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - EARTH SCIENCE LITERACY
Elementary school teachers will utilize Digital Video Globe software and hardware tools to introduce students to basic concepts in the Earth Sciences utilizing prepared animations and visualizations, such as represented by the NASA Sea Currents simulation, above.
Emphasis will be placed on the identification of subsystems of the Earth's biosphere,, and the domains of science that pertain to the study of these subsystems. By Example, domains of science may include, but not be limited to biology, chemistry, and physics; subsystem science domains may include, but not be limited to, ecology, meteorology and oceanography.
Students will be introduced to experts with these domains of science and subsystem science domains to better understand the relations of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are preparation for STEM learning and careers.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
DVG software operates on Apple OS-X 8 or better with an iPad controller. Follow the link below for more information on Elementary and Middle School hardware and software requirements. NOTE: Schools will be able schedule the use of a 30" portable Digital Video Globe (DVG).
