STC
Resource Materials
This
page was created for Iowa educators who are using science kits in
their classrooms. It is designed to help teachers locate resources
and materials, which are available from Heartland AEA 11, that support
science kits. Teachers will find professional library books, videos,
software, children's books, and Web links that correspond to science
kits at all grade levels.
Science
and Technology for Children (STC), is a complete science program
for children in grades 1-6. Filled with innovative hands-on activities
designed to motivate young students, it is a result of a joint effort
by some of the leaders in the fields of education and science. The
National Science Resource Center (NSRC), operated by the Smithsonian
Institution and the National Academy of Sciences to improve the
teaching of science in the nation's schools, began developing STC
in 1998; the curriculum was completed in 1997.
Please
