 Teaching
tip: Measuring Time
Stunning images from the Red Planet were frequent
news items earlier this year, after the successful landing
of NASA’s Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
The rovers carry a range of complex, high-tech equipment,
but each vehicle also includes one of the simplest
scientific devices ever created: a sundial. This provides a
great current-events connection to the STC® Measuring
Time unit.

Two STC® and STC/MS™ life science modules use butterflies to
help students learn about living things. For classroom resources and
background information that can extend student explorations during
Organisms—From Macro to Micro or The Life Cycle of
Butterflies, visit Carolina’s new The World of Butterflies™
page.
