Holidays and science
- African History Month
- Useful links related to Africa, African-Americans and Science
- February is Black History Month. This is an opportunity to discuss contributions of African Americans and Africa to science. For next week, post an idea for a science activity related to African culture, history or to a contribution to science and technology by African-Americans.

- Halloween Science
Holidays provide a great way to spark interest in science. You can look at the various features of the holiday and then try to link these to science concepts, skills, techniques or ideas. In this page we will use Halloween as an example.
- Jot down a list of
all the things that come to mind when you think of
Halloween. Here are a few examples:
spiders and cobwebs, bats, vampires, pumpkins, jack o
lanterns, witches on brooms, the color orange,
costumes, ghosts. You can also do some
research on the history of
Halloween to come up with ideas.
- The next step would be to try and come up with science activities related to the different Halloween ideas. for example, why are pumpkins orange?
- Do some research on pumpkins.
- Pumpkins and more
- What
makes
pumpkins orange?
- This could lead to many different activities, e.g. use chromatography to isolate the orange pigments from pumpkin flesh
- Now do some searching for activities related to Halloween and the various ideas you came up with. Here are a few examples:
- Biology
- Paper chromatography to separate plant pigments
- THE DEMISE OF A HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN
- Biology in science fiction - Scary stories for Halloween

- Tonight's spooky pre-Halloween activity:
- Turn out the lights and use a Jack-o-Lantern image (Creative Commons licensed images from flickr.com) as your sole source of light
- You could have inserted
your jack o lantern image on a blog post or web page and
then have a student come up to the smartboard and
"click" on the jack o lantern to bring up the Halloween
sound effects such as creaking doors, etc.:

- Science education books and journals in the QC library
- Tour of the science education resources in the QC
library:
- Enter at the Main Floor (3rd floor). You will need to have a picture ID to enter (preferably your Queens College ID). Your first stop will be to look at some Science Education Reference Materials (located in the aisle between Q1 and QA36) . Examples of reference books are handbooks of research on science education, National Science Education Standards, science education statistics, etc. (You can look at these in the library but you cannot check them out.)
- Next you can go up to the 5th floor where you can find circulating science education books and Peterson Field Guides. You can pick out a science education book here.
- On the 4th floor just beyond the juvenile (Pre-K-12) collection, you will find science textbooks and teacher editions, and assorted science books. The books in the Juvenile section are arranged by topic.
- Finally go down to the first floor to see the educational curriculum center in Room 109B. Most of the materials here are older or for elementary education. You will notice many metal filing cabinets. These contain microfiche of ERIC documents. You probably can find most of these documents online but it is here, just in case.
- After visiting the center, you can browse the science education journals that are located online and also at the following locations on the first floor
- American Biology Teacher - (Periodicals QH1 .A275)Periodicals QH1 .A275
- Journal of Chemical Education - (Periodicals QD1 .J93)
- Journal of Research in Science Teaching - (Periodicals Q181 A1 J6)
- Physics Education - (Periodicals QC30 .P46)
- Physics Teacher - (Periodicals QC30 P48)
- Please note: there are many other science education journals available online but today I want you to see some of the paper copies.
- Remember, do not hesitate to ask the reference librarians for help if you can't find something.

- Library
- Science education books and journals in the QC library
- Tour of the science education resources in the QC
library:
- Enter at the Main Floor (3rd floor). You will need to have a picture ID to enter (preferably your Queens College ID). Your first stop will be to look at some Science Education Reference Materials (located in the aisle between Q1 and QA36) . Examples of reference books are handbooks of research on science education, National Science Education Standards, science education statistics, etc. (You can look at these in the library but you cannot check them out.)
- Next you can go up to the 5th floor where you can find circulating science education books and Peterson Field Guides. You can pick out a science education book here.
- On the 4th floor just beyond the juvenile (Pre-K-12) collection, you will find science textbooks and teacher editions, and assorted science books. The books in the Juvenile section are arranged by topic.
- Finally go down to the first floor to see the educational curriculum center in Room 109B. Most of the materials here are older or for elementary education. You will notice many metal filing cabinets. These contain microfiche of ERIC documents. You probably can find most of these documents online but it is here, just in case.
- After visiting the center, you can browse the science education journals that are located online and also at the following locations on the first floor
- American Biology Teacher - (Periodicals QH1 .A275)Periodicals QH1 .A275
- Journal of Chemical Education - (Periodicals QD1 .J93)
- Journal of Research in Science Teaching - (Periodicals Q181 A1 J6)
- Physics Education - (Periodicals QC30 .P46)
- Physics Teacher - (Periodicals QC30 P48)
- Please note: there are many other science education journals available online but today I want you to see some of the paper copies.
- Remember, do not hesitate to ask the reference librarians for help if you can't find something.

- Read through the entire course outline and
assignments carefully.
- Ask the instructor questions if you aren't sure.
- Get organized. Create a calendar using
Google calendar or 30boxes.com. Put
the due dates for each assignment on your calendar and
set up reminders. Create a folder for all
of your assignments. Give each file a
descriptive name and keep your files organized with
multiple backups. If you are working on a major
assignment such as a paper or project, you can save
the project and include the date in the
filename. This way, if you want to go back to an
earlier version you will have it.
- Create good work habits that will make sure that you use your time wisely. For short work sessions, a simple checklist like nowdothis.com can help keep you on task. Lifehacker is a great website that has good advice on how to be productive, especially with technology. Here is a link that describes some useful checklist software.
