National Research Council Aims to Improve Science Education

Anew publication from the National Research Council (NRC), Ready, Set, Science! is an educational tool that explains how the latest research on learning and teaching can be put into practice in K-8 science classes. The book provides teachers with summaries from the recent NRC report, "Taking Science to School: Learning and Teaching Science in Grades K-8." The summaries include results from the learning sciences and provide case studies to make the implications of research clear, accessible and stimulating for science educators. The book aims to use these real classroom experiences as examples teachers can use to help improve the learning process within their own classrooms. Teachers are shown how to select and design engaging instructional tasks and conduct productive discussions as well.

MSSS Delivers First Science Instrument to JPL for 2009 Mars Rover Mission Payload

Malin Space Science Systems, Inc. (MSSS), has delivered the first of four science cameras it is developing for the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory 2009 Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover mission. This camera, the Mars Descent Imager is designed to provide a sequence of hundreds of 2 Megapixel color images of the martian surface during the rover's descent about two years from now. MARDI was transported to JPL last week to participate in a contamination measurement test. That test was completed satisfactorily on 10 July, and instrument functionality was verified in imaging testing the following day (Figure 2). The instrument will shortly be integrated with the MSL rover avionics (computer) for testing, and will be integrated with the rover mechanical systems within the month.
