Subject: [Info-resources] - Learning Studio - week of August 11

Hello again:

This week I added many new linkt o several of our Web Information Sources
pages, far too many to list all the pages here but with a focus in the
various Earth sciences. Much of what I am doing these days is related to
creating better ways to provide access to online resources. This continues
to be reflected in the sheer volume of online resources I keep locating. In
many cases it would take someone starting cold a very large amount of time
to track down most of these items without knowing their exact name. If you
know of interesting resources that are not on our pages please let me know
and I will look at them and consider adding a link.

WEB PAGE OF THE WEEK:

NASA NEO (Near Earth Objects) Program Orbits
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/orbits/

A special section of the NASA Near Earth Objects site. Such objects have
been in the news lately and this page is a good beginning point for
locating information on the subject. This site uses Java to display the
orbits of several objects and you can manipulate the images in several ways.

SCIENCE NEWS:

A few bits of news for folks this week.

Asteroid 2002 NT7: Potential Earth Impact In 2019 Ruled Out

UPDATED WEB GUIDES:

New page:
Polar Studies
http://www.exploratorium.edu/ls/infosources/PolarInfo.html

PRINTED, NEW ACQUISITIONS:

Math books continued the last title.

Math and logic puzzles for PC enthusiasts / J.J. Clessa.
General collection circ.
QA 95 .C55 1996

NEW INTERNET eTEXTS:

Each week I will list online materials are freely available over the Internet.
These materials were located in the past week by Learning Studio staff.

Some of these documents may be in PDF format and require the use of a free
reader.

This week I'll also highlight a web page that will be of use to many of the
teachers on this list.

Content Standards
for California Public Schools
Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve
http://www.cde.ca.gov/standards/

While we have linked to the science resources on this page on our
electronic text list some folks may find this direct link useful as it
includes more than the science curriculum. In fact I am now adding the
non-science standards to the text list for the eventual day when we can get
some of the links cataloged.
