// **Content Standard:** Students in Wisconsin will use scientific information and skills to make decisions about themselves, Wisconsin, and the world in which they live. // // An important purpose of science education is to give students a means to understand and act on personal, economic, social, political, and international issues. Knowledge and methodology of the earth and space, life and environmental, and physical sciences facilitate analysis of topics related to personal health, environment, and management of resources, and help evaluate the merits of alternative courses of action. //

 * Standard H**: Science in Personal & Social Perspectives
 * Title:** Cover Your Mouth-Cough
 * Link:** [|Cover Your Mouth]
 * Description:** This is a lesson plan about teaching students the reason behind covering their mouth when coughing. Students learn about germs and how they spread in the air, which causes sickness.
 * Grade Level:** 1st-2nd grade
 * Connection to the Standard:** According to Wisconsin Standard H.4.3. How science has contributed to meeting personal needs, including hygiene, nutrition, exercise, safety, and health care. By teaching students about germs and hygiene they understand why coughing and not covering their mouth can get other people sick.

 * Christy Elmer**
 * Standard H:** Science in Personal & Social Perspective
 * Title**: Intelligent Design vs. Darwinism
 * Grade Level**: Middle to High School
 * Description:** Very interesting movie about science education in the public school and universities. It also discusses intelligent design and the effects of Darwinism. This could get students thinking about their own beliefs, how teachers teach, and if students think they are being presented with all aspects of science. This “documentary” is coming from a Creationist point of view, just so the audience is aware. I don’t agree with everything in this film, it just gets you thinking.

//Katie Grady// //**Standard H: Science in Personal and Social Perspectives**// //**Title:**// //Blake Education// //**Link:**// [|Personal Health Choices] //([])// //**Grade Level:**// //3-6// //**Description:**// //Through reading this big book as a class, students learn about eating foods from all five food groups, exercising regularly, and avoiding drugs, smoking, alcohol, and caffeine. In addition, the book also covers how the environment influences our health, illness one might face and people that could affect the decision we make. It looks like this book could be used alone, or could be purchased as part of a full series that comes with a CD to use in computers and interactive whiteboards.// //**Connection to the Standard:**// //The area of personal and social perspective covers areas about personal health (nutrition, communicable diseases, substance abuse) as well as understanding how science as human endeavor, process, and career. This book covers many of the areas of understanding personal health.//

 * Title:** The science of food and food production
 * Links:** http://video.pbs.org/video/1741712617 and http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/lab-meat.html
 * Description and connection to standard:** The PBS video archive contains many interesting videos on science, including videos on food and food production. The first video discusses how technology allows scientists to preserve food for years so that astronauts can take it into space. The second video explores technological advances which permit scientists to grow meat from just a few animal cells. This information could be part of a larger exploration of technological advances in food production and preservation. The videos satisfy Standard H by illustrating how science and technology impact human efforts to provide better food, and raising questions about some of the problems our scientific advances might cause.
 * Grade level:** These videos could be used with students from 4th to 8th grade.

 * Standard** H Science in Personal and Social Perspectives


 * Title:** Radio Lab


 * Link to resource** [|http://www.radiolab.org/]


 * Description:** Fascinating podcasts and radio broadcasts of investigations of questions posed by science-oriented minds. “Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience.”


 * Range of appropriate grade levels.** Depends on the story/segment. Made for adults but snippets of stories could really engage kids and be used to set up inquiry based lessons. Possibly grades 4-8.

Annie Partington This website talks about the importance of healthy eating. This is what the first lady, Michelle Obama worked on during President Obama’s tenancy. This would be good to teach because aside from the obvious health positives, it is a somewhat recent unveiling politically and has been a big issue pushed by Michelle Obama. It also allows students to see what role polit // ics plays in science. //
