Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

I want some books to read that’ll expand my knowledge and pique my interest in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths and/or any other school subjects (apart from geog, most languages and history) – don’t mind English (obvious) or French or Spanish though.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I mean a proper book, not a CGP revision book. Doesn’t have to have a story as such, though!

The Jason Project Takes Math and Science Education Out of the Classroom

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

What It Is


The JASON Project is headquartered in Ashburn, VA. Its mission is to inspire in students a life-long passion for learning in science, math, and technology through hands-on, real-world scientific discovery. It is named in the spirit of the Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts.


For middle-grade students, JASON’s real-time, interdisciplinary science expeditions offer a unique opportunity to participate in real, standards-based, multidisciplinary research directed by leading scientists.


For educators, JASON provides the content and tools to effectively teach middle-grade science. The JASON Professional Development program offers accredited online professional development courses in science, math, and non-fiction literacy instruction as well as on-site workshops and coaching to help teachers become highly qualified and make the best use of JASON programs in the classroom. In addition to the award-winning JASON Science curricula, the JASON Professional Development offers educators a full array of online courses and onsite workshops to increase content knowledge. JASON Professional Development, supported by the National Science Teachers Association, enhances teachers’ content backgrounds and provides them with the tools to help students learn more effectively. JASON Professional Development offerings provide numerous classroom applications with demonstrations and hands-on learning activities.


JASON Math


Some of the many math expeditions led by the JASON project include the Mysteries of Each and Mars, From Shore to Sea, and Rainforests at the Crossroads. Each of these expeditions integrate mathematics concepts and skills with scientific themes. In addition the Math Adventures curriculum includes such activities as Geometry and Return to Titanic, and Proportional Reasoning and Disappearing Wetlands. These programs can be stand alone classroom projects or used to complement a corresponding JASON Expedition. Students will be introduced to real researchers and their work and have an opportunity to conduct similar engaging activities in the classroom and outdoors.


JASON is committed to giving educators exciting new ways to teach standards-based mathematics. As students use our hands-on approach to solving real scientific problems, the activities challenge them to learn important mathematics skills and concepts too.


JASON Science

Both JASON Expeditions and JASON Science Adventures provide teachers with a vehicle to implement new content and instructional practice in the classroom, and:

Make science real and relevant

Allow students to get to know and identify with real scientists

Introduce hands-on, technology-rich learning experiences

Help students ask better questions, and inspire an interest in science and a lifelong passion for learning


JASON’s award-winning supplementary curricula are designed by the world’s leading scientists and educators. The curricula provide rich learning experiences using a hands-on inquiry based approach that mirrors the work of real scientists. The flexible instructional design allows for cross-curricular integration or single-subject implementation across disciplines. Not only are JASON Curricula based on national model standards for science, math, social studies, language arts, and technology; but they are also correlated to each state’s standards for science. JASON is proven to enhance middle-grade student learning outcomes.

Participating Schools


Currently the JASON project includes:

26 Primary Interactive Network Sites (PINS) in the U.S., Bermuda, Mexico, and Panama

22 regional networks

Over 1 million students reached annually

12 Student Argonauts

4 Teacher Argonauts

6 host researchers

3 student hosts

3 guest researchers

NEPIC Education Engagement: Super Science

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010


. By meeting industry representatives, pupils benefit immensely, as they often have preconceived ideas about what scientists and mathematicians do, what they look like and where they are from. Events such as Super Science & Marvellous Maths help to show pupils that scientists and mathematicians are ordinary people, are involved in lots of interesting work, and can show links from their work to what is taught in the classroom. The children will participate in activities all day, …
