Small Schools Too please — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:40:23 GMT

This is the kind of science I want to bring into the classroom. The texts and worksheets that students are saddled with turn them off.

When I taught Honors Biology, in California, I had fully integrated Internet, DVD, Video, interactive discecting, close action camera, the works.
And my students responded by scoring very high on the Now defunct Golden State Biology Exam.
The other teacher did not use the technology. My students scored an average of 25% Honors. Her class? 10% scored honors.
I am substituting in small school districts in Missouri now. They have overheads and textbooks for every child, and they are proud of that.....

I have attempted to access the slide show three times. I have not been able to connect, and I would very much be able to view it. Anything you can do?
It would be much appreciated.

[ALAN ADDS: Our slideshows do rely on Javascript and Flash, so if there are disabled features or incompatibility, that may be causing the problem. Also, the way I've linked the slideshow from the log seeks to launch a new browser window, so if you have a pop-up blocker, that may be the problem. You could try the link from this version of the story and see if it works any better for you:]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26894558/

[But if you just can't get the msnbc slideshow to work, you should still be able to look at the imagery using the slideshows from Science and NSF. I've linked to them from the article up above, but for your convenience, here are the links again:]

[If you use the NSF.gov link, be sure to click on the 2008 entries once you "enter" the application. Science's slideshow offers somewhat larger versions of the images. Good luck, and I'm sorry to hear it's been a bit frustrating. Hope the payoff will be worth the effort.]

Bible, what is this impediment to science doing anywhere in the same breath.

I wanted to let your readers know that the "Zoom into the Human Bloodstream" illustration (as well as a version with captions) are available free for non-commercial use with attribution at www.nisenet.org/viz_lab. This illustration is part of a series designed for the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network to advance public understanding of nanoscale science.

I agree that the slide show does not work. My computer has just about everything and the only viewable image is the squid sucker. There is no continuation button for the next image, etc.

[ALAN ADDS: Wow, this is not so good. It works for me in IE as well as Firefox. Another potential URL to try is this one:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26891829/
displaymode/1107/s/2/framenumber/1/

[There should be a left and a right arrow as well as a series of numbers along the bottom of the picture, and you should also be able to advance from frame to frame by clicking right on the picture you're looking at. If you're desperate to get msnbc.com slideshows to work, you could try checking to see if you have the latest version of Flash. Otherwise, I would try the Science/AAAS version of the slideshow I've mentioned up above. There's some cool video with that one. In the meantime, I'll let the tech folks know that some people have had a problem.]

Hi Alan,
I'm so glad that I get the slide show because I only have a MSN WEBTV. Rarely would I get a video. Just love your "Show". Thanks,
Lilo, Las Vegas, NV

I guess my screen is too small, as I cannot view the text with the horizontally situated pictures... cliking the picture advances the slideshow for me... no arrows to be seen.....

all are amazing and beautiful, tho, and I will go to the other sites given to try again...

I loved the pictures but would also like to display them to pique the interest of my visual learners during their "hall time." Do you have posters of these available?

[ALAN ADDS: You'll probably want to contact the folks who created the works to find out about that. For example, bigger versions of the Bloodstream "Zoom" view (and a zoom-in on a butterfly's wing) are being made available through the Nanoscale Informal Science Education, as mentioned above.]

In response to Jessica Long in Albany, NY. Please refer to Genesis 1:27-31. If you don't have a Bible, then you can google it.

I would like to see a comparison done to the Bible picture based on the koran.

I have a feeling it will not have the symmetry and beauty.
But who knows?

From the images here one would get the impression that science only occurs on the microscopic level. I guess all those astrophysicists and astronomers out there aren't really "scientists" then?

I had to put my browser on full screen to see the slide show. The next button didn's show up on the reduced screen.
