New for 2009-2010Cold Blooded Creatures (4K – Grade 2): Students will learn about the major body parts of insects and test differ-ent insect “mouth parts” at feeding stations. Insects will be examined, sorted, and classified according to various attributes. The physical characteristics and life cycles of amphibians will be compared to insects.

Let There Be Light: Students explore properties of light using lasers, lenses, mirrors, ropes and their bodies! They discover how light waves are refracted, reflected and transmitted and how our eyes convert light into images.

May the Force Be With You: Students will investigate how simple machines, including levers, pulleys, and inclined planes, reduce the amount of force needed to do work.

Shake, Rattle, & Roll (Grade 8): Learn about catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Find out why these events occur and how they impact the earth over time.

To the Moon and Beyond (Grades 4-12): This program features the past, present, and future of lunar exploration and celebrates the success of NASA. This exciting, in-terdisciplinary program addresses social studies, science and math standards including the Space Race and technological advances made during the Cold War.

Children crossed oceans and learned to fly during an innovative program hosted at the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center June 15-19, 2009. At the Camp Invention program, children were challenged with hands-on activities that fos-tered creativity, teamwork, science literacy, and inventive-thinking skills. The program was created by the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation in 1990, with support from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The top priority of the Camp Invention program is to provide quality enrich-ment activities for children entering first through sixth grades. Participants’ understanding of science, math, history, and the arts was enhanced as they participated daily in five activity-oriented thematic modules. This inquiry-based program has been offered for 6 years at the RPSEC. Each day, 106 children rotated between five thematic modules that built upon what was learned the previous day.Since its inception, the program has grown to include more than 1,000 sites in 48 states. In 2008, more than 66,000 children participated nationwide. During this summer’s Camp Invention program, children

not only became the first to find the hidden treasure of the Vikings in the Vi-king Treasure Trek: The Quest Begins™ module, but also engineered and built the next great land vehicle in the Land Sled X-Treme™ module, and learned how superheroes fly and created their ideal comic book star in the Comic Book Sci-ence: FlyJack and Jill™ module.Each year children also participate in the I Can Invent: Complicated Machines & Fantasy Inventions™ module. This module continues to reinvent itself year after year. This year, younger children took apart discarded household appliances and created new inventions, while older children built Rube Goldberg machines. Dur-ing the Recess Remix™ module, children put their own spin on classic games of yesteryear.

CE-MIST ProgramsAll students from the three CE-MIST partner schools (Leavelle McCampbell Middle School, A. L. Corbett Middle School, and JET Middle School) participated in field trip activities at the Ruth Patrick Science Edu-cation Center in 2008-2009. A total of 1,025 students participated in a series of hands-on, interdisciplin-ary programs infused with exploration and discovery and aligned with state curriculum standards.

The Center of Excellence in Middle-level, Interdisciplinary Strategies for Teaching project (CE-MIST) pro-vided financial support for the student program fees and transportation. The students arrived in groups of up to 90 per day and were organized into three groups. Each group participated in one of three programs for approximately one hour and then rotated through subsequent programs. Teachers were provided with pre- and post-visit activities including vocabulary and children’s literature lists as well as connections to multiple content areas. Program descriptions, standards correlations, pre and post-visit activities, lists of relevant literature, and connections to Traveling Science Kits were developed and placed on the CE-MIST website and can be found at: http://rpsec.usca.edu/CE-MIST/student.html.

Students in Grade 6 attended Blown Away: The Wild World of Weather, Circuit City, and Polygon Puzzle. Students in Grade 7 attended Journey Into the Living Cell, CSI Solutions, and Ravenous Raptors. Students in Grade 8 attended Mission to Mars, Minerals, Ores & Fossil Fuels, and Solar System Rescue.


CE-MIST Professional Development for Teachers

This year four teacher workshops were presented at each of the three CE-MIST partner schools: Leavelle McCampbell Middle

School, A. L. Corbett Middle School, and JET Middle School. The workshops focused on interdisciplinary curricu-lum development and implementation, and were presented by Dr. Victoria Gills, Dr. Bridget Coleman, Dr. Deborah MacPhee, Dr. Tim Lintner, Dr. Lynne Rhodes, Professor Vicki Collins, and Ms. Virginia Rafferty. The Center of Ex-cellence in Middle-level, Interdisciplinary Strategies for Teaching (CE-MIST) is made possible under a grant from the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education under the auspices of the Education Improvement Act (EIA) Teach-er Education Centers of Excellence Grant Program.Literacy Across the Curriculum (Dr. Victoria Gillis)This presentation was made possible through a partnership with Clemson University’s Center of Excellence in Adoles¬cent Literacy and Learning (CE-ALL). Intended and unintended consequences of Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the New World were explored. Strategies for interdisciplinary teaching included: structured paired brain-storming and note taking; Think, Pair, Share; forced choice; and content synthesis using cinquain poetry.

Integration Using Children’s Literature (Dr. Bridget Coleman and Dr. Deborah MacPhee)A children’s book, Patterns in Peru, was used to demonstrate making connections to mathematics and other content areas using children’s literature. Teachers were actively engaged in researching and creating a grade-level “text set” includ-ing books, magazines, travel guides, maps, films, brochures, and more on a topic and then brainstorming instructional possibilities.

Primary Sources and Interdisciplinary Integration (Dr. Tim Lintner) Primary sources could include e-mail, text messaging, artwork, music, artifacts, x-rays, documentary films, and more. Using primary sources makes learning real and authentic, contextualizes learning, addresses multiple means of learning, and is a hook to capture students’ interest. Teachers were asked to look at their grade-level standards and then use one or both of these online resources- the SC Digital Library and/or the Library of Congress Digital Collections- to develop a list of primary resources for an interdisciplinary unit.

Writing Across the Curriculum (Dr. Lynne Rhodes and Professor Vicki Collins)This workshop was made possible through a partnership with the Aiken Writing Project and was presented by faculty from USCA’s Department of English. Featured strategies included: Quick Writes, PQP (Praise-Question-Polish: a peer evaluation strategy), and graphic organizers. The presentation concluded with an analysis of the rubrics used for the PACT writing assessment.

CE-MIST Summer Institutes for TeachersFood Safety in the ClassroomThe focus of this Summer Institute was to provide an innovative approach in which food safety concepts are integrated into state standards in core subject areas. This integrated curriculum contains high energy, hands-on activities that simulate real-world applications of food safety. The unit reinforces the importance of food safety in students’ daily lives, broadens student knowledge of the topic, and exposes them to possible careers in food science. This project was sponsored by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Integrated Food Safety Initiative (USDA-NIFSI). Seventeen teachers participated in this two-day workshop.

Aiken Writing Project (AWP) Summer InstituteThe AWP is designed for teachers from all disciplines and at all levels of instruction, kindergarten through university. Participating teachers had opportunities to demonstrate their own best practices and classroom successes, study writing theory and research, experience the writing process by writing themselves and sharing their writing in small groups, and prepare to teach other teachers how to use writing more effectively in diverse classrooms. Participating teachers received free tuition for six hours graduate credit, free books and copy-ready materials for classroom instruction.

International Year of Astronomy CelebrationsDiscover your place in the Universe as you celebrate the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) 2009 with the DuPont Planetarium. Opportuni-ties for discovery include a star party on October 24th and public pre-sentations every Saturday in October of a planetarium show produced for the IYA by the International Planetarium Society.

This show, Two Small Pieces of Glass, celebrates the work of Galileo and others who used telescopes during the past 400 years to expand our understanding of the universe. During the show, two young people at a star party learn how telescopes work and how the telescope has changed from a modified spyglass - using two small pieces of glass - to the huge, space and land-based devices of today. Two Small Pieces of Glass will be presented at 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. on October 3, 10, 24, 31 and during SEED at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, and 2:00.

Join the DuPont Planetarium and the Astronomy Club of Augusta for a live, Star Party on October 24th, fall 2009 National Astronomy Day. The Bechtel Telescope will be open and club members will set up tele-scopes on the lawn at the RPSEC. Come out for a great evening of ob-serving and learning about telescopes first hand!

Apollo AnniversariesIn July 2009, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, the first mission to take astronauts to the surface of the Moon and return them safely to Earth. Between July 1969 and December 1972, the USA sent seven, manned missions to the Moon. Six of these successfully landed on the Moon and completed the tasks assigned. The table below contains information about these missions. EVA stands for Extra-Vehicular Activity, which means the astronauts were out-side their spacecraft. To learn more go to http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/

Apollo 13, launched 11 April 1970, is not in this table because an in-flight explosion forced the crew to abort the Moon landing. With amazing courage and help from mission control, the crew of Apollo 13 returned safely to Earth on 17 April 1970.

To experience the exciting adventures of Apollo astronauts on the Moon, come to the DuPont Planetarium in November 2009 for To the Moon and Beyond. Learn what prompted the Race to the Moon, become better acquainted with Earth’s natural satellite, and discover how NASA plans to send humans back to the Moon then beyond!
