Presented is the best understanding of the flaw discovered in the optics of the Hubble Space Telescope and the possible solutions to the problems. The spherical aberration in the telescope's mirror and its effect on the quality of the telescope's imaging ability is discussed. (CW)

This curriculum guide lists science topics and concepts, learning outcomes, and sample learning objectives (in three columns), separately for grades 1-3 and for grades 4-6. Topics/concepts, in the first column, describe the major parts of the subject under consideration. They define broadly the content to be included in the study of each subject…

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TWO METHODS, RECITATION-DEMONSTRATION AND PROJECT-RESEARCH, WERE COMPARED FOR TEACHING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE. COMPARISONS WERE MADE REGARDING (1) THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT MATTER ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENT, (2) THE ABILITY OF THE STUDENT TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLY CONCEPTS AND GENERALIZATIONS OF THE SUBJECT, AND (3) THE WORK…

This document presents the revised Arkansas Science Curriculum Framework (1999), which replaces the Science Curriculum Framework of 1994. Three strands--physical science systems, life science systems, and Earth science/space science systems--were identified using an integrated approach to provide guidance in the science curriculum. A glossary and…

This document explains the Arkansas science benchmarks for grades 5-8 which were developed to provide guidance to science teachers. The content standards for three strands--physical science systems, life science systems, and Earth science/space science systems--were identified based on grade levels. (YDS)
