The New York Academy of Science recently announced a suspension of its annual Art of Science Competition this year. The decision was a result of budget cutbacks in the National Science Foundation (a major supporter of the program) and an unexpected phasing-out of a multi-year grant from Dow Chemical U.S.A. (the competition's major corporate sponsor since 1988).

Integrating Culture And Understanding Of Science Through Traditional Fairy Tale Format, Patrice Wright, Gerry D. Haukoos
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Success in science results from a variety of experiences and characteristics. Some come from within the individual while others are in the environment. ~ For Native American Indians, achievement in science based upon traditional Western education and national testing traditions does not reflect American Indian knowledge of science or natural events around them. Over the centuries, American Indian cultures have exhibited a closeness with nature, even to the point of considering their relationship spiritual. Cajete (1986) reported that expressions of the science thought process are abundant in historical and traditional American Indian cultures. He indicated those processes have ranged from …

Science Career Day: A Recruitment Strategy For High School Students, Sherman Lundy
Science Career Day: A Recruitment Strategy For High School Students, Sherman Lundy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Many students do not picture themselves in science-related careers primarily because they are not informed about the opportunities available and the secondary and post-secondary education required for those jobs. To most students, people in science careers include physicians, nurses, scientists (whatever that means), engineers and possibly chemists. A few students are aware of additional career choices in geology and astronomy. The science careers most talked about are related to nature and wildlife, but students are not certain what is involved in these occupations. Vast numbers of jobs are, or soon will be, available in the fields of science and technology, …
