Grade 4-12: Join us for Kigluait's Last Special Event for the School Year: Survive!

Abandoned! Crashed! Stuck alone and scared in the wilds of Alaska! That’s just the situation our poor Survivors find themselves in after their small Bush plane crashes into the forest 100 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska. What should they do? How can you help? That's exactly what your students will have to figure out as they work with our Incident Command Center to help our survivors "survive" until our rescue team can make it to them. This program will help to motivate students to learn and practice Life Skills, Character Traits, and problem-solving techniques.

Nanotechnology……………..what is it and what does it mean for us? We invite you to join Aaron Pan, the Museum’s Science Curator and other classrooms across the state to learn more about this growing field in science. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter-almost too small to fully comprehend-and objects on this scale are being considered in the medical, technology and consumer markets. We’ll provide some cool web resources to share with your students before the program and ask you send us one or two questions from your group that we’ll answer during the program.

May 11: An Event with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Pennsylvania First Lady Judge Marjorie O. Rendell

Don't miss the May 11th LIVE WEBSTREAM of "Supreme Decision" - - An Event with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Pennsylvania First Lady Judge Marjorie O. Rendell

Supreme Decision
A Conversation with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Judge Marjorie O. Rendell
Date: May 11, 2010

Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

(Click on the live webstream link under "Resources." To view this Internet webcast, your computer must have Adobe Flash 10)
Join Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Judge Marjorie O. Rendell and six Pennsylvania middle schools for this unique, interactive civics program!
Our Courts is a web-based education project designed to reinvigorate civics. Spearheaded by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the project aims to provide digital learning tools that make civics engaging and relevant for middle school students. Our Courts’ first online game, Supreme Decision, explores a student’s 1st Amendment rights in school. Ben Brewer was recently suspended for wearing his favorite rock t-shirt to school – against dress policy. Ben’s case goes all the way to the Supreme Court, and in the game, the Justices are split 4 – 4. Players hear a series of arguments, navigate a series of challenges, and help their Justice cast the deciding vote!
During this interactive videoconference program, students from 5 middle school classrooms will help decide Ben’s fate. Prior to the videoconference, each classroom will play Supreme Decision and determine whether Ben’s suspension was justified or if his 1st Amendment rights were violated. In the videoconference, each classroom will announce its final decision and debate issues raised by the case. After all presentations are complete, Justice O’Connor and Judge Rendell will provide feedback to the students. The end of the interactive program will be dedicated to a question and answer session between the participating schools, Justice O'Connor and Judge Rendell.
We hope you can 'tune in!' If you have any questions, please contact hweisse@magpi.net. If you need technical support during the webcast, please contact video@isc.upenn.edu.
