Gerlovich, Jack A.; Whitsett, John; Lee, Shelley; Parsa Rahul – Science Teacher, 2001
Describes a safety program for teaching science. In the summer of 1999, specific Wisconsin safety laws, codes, and standards were researched and a training program including content, training sites, and dates was developed. One-day training programs were planned for six regions throughout the state. (SAH)

Sadler, Troy D.; Eckart, Teresa M.; Lewis, Jennifer E.; Whitley, Katherine M. – Science Scope, 2005
Gases present something of a paradox for the casual observer--they are everywhere and yet, it remains difficult to see them anywhere. The instructional sequence described in this article is an approach that the authors use with middle school students to help enhance their conceptual understanding of gases. Research has shown that these ideas can…
