Dear AMT,
My school teaches a required, two year integrated science course (9th and
10th). This is my 3d year teaching it and after lots of talking with other
teachers at my school and at the Exploratorium I'm convinced that teaching
integrated science can be much more complicated to pull off successfully than
subject specific curricula for a number of reasons. I am also convinced that
that the holistic allure of integrated science can be allusive. And then there
are the Integrated Science STAR tests which, in my opinion, are virtually
impossible to prepare for adequately because they end up being a hodge-podge of
diverse information and concepts, some quite advanced, which don't fit into a
reasonable one-year curriculum, especially for 9th or 10th grade students. We
are actually looking into giving the Earth Science STAR test to our 9th grade
I.S. students and the Biology STAR test to our 10th grade I.S. students.
We are halfway through revising our 2 year curriculum and so I've been wading
through a ton of integrated science issues. I think our curriculum is quite
good but it takes a lot of insight to put together. If you would like to talk
with me more, please feel free to send me a personal email and we can chat.
One interesting note is to be aware of the history of high school integrated
science curricula. Some years ago they swept through many schools as a more
realistic way to study science but after lots of work, many schools ended up
dropping it. Like I said, I think we are making it work but I don't think it
is easy and can entail a tough learning curve.

Science and Writing Connections
Hello! I have a copy of the following (it's the beginning of the year so of
course I can't find it), and I think it has a lot of good suggestions about
writing in science. Nancy
Robin Lee Harris Freedman
Publisher: Dale Seymour Publications
Grades: 6-9
This innovative resource guide meets the needs of both science and language
arts by enabling teachers to incorporate writing into science instruction and
evaluation. This book includes 32 blackline masters for student activities,
samples of student writing, and built-in assessment tools based on the theories
of multiple intelligences and Bloom's taxonomy.

Re: Integrated Science
Have you seen "Coordinated Science 1 and 2', a two
book series suitable for the first two years of
science, typically with followed by a third year for
UC approval. There is also a Teacher Resource Guide.
It is published by Cambridge University Press, and to
declare interest, i did edit the series.
The key, as in any course, is staff who are confident
and qualified, in this case across all the sciences.

SEPM FALL 2004 FIELD TRIP: Geology of the San Andreas Fault in the Santa
Cruz Mountains
October 8-10, 2004
The Pacific Section, Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) Fall 2004 field
trip (Oct. 8-10) will focus on the San Andreas Fault through the Santa Cruz
Mountains. Some areas to be visited experienced surface rupture from the
1906 and 1989 earthquakes. The trip is intended to highlight landscape
features associated with the active fault system. In addition stops were
chosen to examine rocks and terranes typical of both sides of the fault;
many of the locations are of highly scenic character associated with a
variety of mountain habitats ranging from grasslands, chaparral, oak and
evergreen forests, and redwoods. Interested novices and students of
geology, and professionals are all urged to sign up for the field trip.
Lively discussion and arm waving are expected!
Field guides will be available for registered participants.
The cost of the field trip registration is:
$10.00 for students; $22.00 for non-student PS-SEPM members;
$25.00 for non-student non-members. (This covers the cost of a field
guide.)
A registration form is on the SEPM website at:
http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/pacsepm/
Participants (campers) may wish to plan to arrive on Friday evening
(October 8th), depending on your travel distance, at the Sanborn Park.
Expect to arrive by 6:00 pm if possible, otherwise flashlights will be
necessary to set up camp (see camping information below).
Sanborn Park is located 1 mile south of the intersection of Highway 9 and
Sanborn Road. Sanborn Road is 2.5 miles south of the Highway 9 intersection
in downtown Saratoga, CA, and 4.2 miles south of the Saratoga Road exit on
Highway 85 in Cupertino (San Jose).
The Saturday field trip (October 9th: 9am to 5pm)
The field trip "conference" will officially begin on Saturday morning at
9:00 am participants should plan to gather near the Sanborn Park Campground
restroom area (there is ample parking in a lot just below the campground
area). The field trip will start with a 2.5 miles moderate hike at Sanborn
Park in the morning; picnic lunch will be at the park (bring your own),
then afternoon stops will be along Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) in the
Mid Peninsula Open Space Preserve. A final optional stop will be at the
Savannah-Channelle Vineyards wine tasting room (built right on the fault).
The Sunday field trip (October 10th: 9:00 am to 5:00pm)
The Sunday field trip will visit geologic and fault-related features in the
Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve and park lands around Lexington Reservoir
and on Loma Prieta Peak and the surrounding area. The field trip will
begin at 9:00 am at the Lexington Reservoir Dam boat dock parking area on
Alma Bridge Road (next to the dam) - Alma Bridge road is accessible via
Highway 17 North. (Southbound drivers will have to exit at Bear Creek Road
and cross the overpass to return south to Alma Bridge Road -- an
approximate 25 minute drive from Sanborn Park via Highway 9 through Los
Gatos.)
Optional Monday (Columbus Day: October 11th) self-guided field trips will
be included in the field guide, including a trip to the San Andreas and
Calaveras faults in the Hollister/San Juan Bautista area. Participants can
camp at Sanborn Park (limited space has been reserved). Contact Phil
Stoffer (pstoffer@usgs.gov) to reserve campsite space. Campsites cost $22
for 2 nights and can hold up to 6 people (2 car parking spaces are
availablef or each walk-in campsite). Reserved sites will be given out on a
first come-first serve basis (call Phil Stoffer to reserve a campsite at
650-329-5028). Van carpooling is recommended. Additional camping and RV
space is available through the park reservation system - see
http://www.parkhere.org for reservation information and contacts. In
addition, inexpensive indoor overnight accommodations are available at the
Sanborn American Youth Hostel in the park (phone 408-741-0166).
Participants should be prepared to provide their own meals, particularly
breakfast, lunch and snacks. A variety of restaurants and coffee shops are
available in downtown Saratoga approximately 3 miles from the Sanborn Park
camping area.
Plan on carpooling! Vans are encouraged (no buses). Day use fees of the
county parks is $4 per vehicle. Although ample parking is available at most
stops, there are no guarantees...

Our district just dropped IS2 claiming a student passing both years but taking no other science would not be accepted to a Cal State school because the courses had less than a full year of biology between them and that the courses couldn't prepare students adequately for mandated testing.

This is not entirely offcial yet, but in fairness to the Front Desk and those who answer call-ins, we've gotta have something:
Fall Learning Studio Hours (may be amended) 3:00-5:00 weekdays
SOME Saturdays, *only* when a TI workshop is happening: 11:00-3:30 (NOT the old 10-5:00) Oct. 2nd, 9th, and 30th; Nov. 6th, 13th, and 20th; and Dec. 11th
CLOSED Saturdays Oct. 16 & 23, Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving weekend), Dec. 4, 18, and 25 (Christmas)
In addition, there will be closings for medical appointments, professional association meetings, sick days, and whatever. Those predictable from here and now are Sept. 15, Sept. 22-23, and Oct. 8; I'll try to keep a current update message on the machine at 415 674-2875. If coming here is a major hassle for you, PLEASE call first to make sure the Learning Studio will be open.
As usual, books or other items can be returned via the ever-patient Front Desk. Thanks for your patience........

Hi everyone!
I am in desperate need of battery operated vehicles. I have located 4X4 stompers on Ebay but have bid without success. I have been all over the internet--ToysRUs, KB Toy Store...
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks!
