The EEI Curriculum includes 40 science units that were created prior to the adoption of the California Next Generation Science Standards.

Although these units were written for California's 1998 science standards, they contain engaging resources (including visual aids, readings, activities, and maps) that are still relevant and, if thoughtfully integrated, can help support lessons and units of study focused on California's NGSS.

To learn more about how the EEI Curriculum can support the teaching of NGSS, as well as the Common Core State Standards, please visit our Correlation Guides page.

Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth.

With the help of over 7,000 of the world's best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species.

Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world.

Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation.

As a small conservation charity, Wildscreen eventually reached the point where it could no longer financially sustain the ongoing costs of keeping Arkive free and online or invest in its much needed development.

For many years, and in an attempt to keep Arkive online for years to come, Wildscreen investigated the possibility of transferring custodianship of the website to another environmental charity or institution but due to legal issues and the cost of doing so, we were unable to secure any support.

Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.

The complete Arkive collection of over 100,000 images and videos is now being stored securely offline in perpetuity for future generations.

Understanding Science - How science REALLY works...

Scientific and scholarly pursuit are hindered when primary sources are un-cataloged or accessible only by visiting cultural heritage institutions. The Field Book Project seeks to promote awareness of and access to thousands of scientific field notes in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and holdings at the National Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Libraries. It began in 2010 as an effort to bring to light these hidden collections with a goal to catalog 5,000 field books and provide online access to those records, a goal graciously funded by the Center for Libraries and Information Resources (CLIR). At this point, the Project has cataloged over 9,500 field books and digitized over 4,000. They are available from the Smithsonian Institution Archives website and the Smithsonian's Collections Search Center, and those that have been digitized are also available at the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).

The project began as a partnership between Smithsonian Institution Archives and National Museum of Natural History led by principal investigators Anne Van Camp, Smithsonian Institution Archives, and Rusty Russell, National Museum of Natural History. The ensuing interest from the research and scholarly communities has since driven our efforts to extend the Project and increase the usefulness of these unique resources. Four years after the Project's start, the Archives and National Museum of Natural History joined with the Biodiversity Heritage Library and Smithsonian Libraries to increase the visibility of the field notes to the global biodiversity research community through BHL.

What is a field book?

Field books are original records of scientific discovery. As such, they are primary source material that describe a range of information including the activities performed during the observation and collecting of specimens, the native environment for those specimens or events surrounding or related to the field collection of specimens or observations during field research.

The traditionally handwritten field documentation in the nineteenth century began to include other forms as technology advanced. As photography equipment became easier to transport, for example, the documentary value of photography became a useful form of field documentation. The Field Book Project catalog a variety of field note formats include photography, film and audio materials.

Importance and challenges of field books

Field notes are significant sources of information related to scientific discovery. They provide rich data for researchers to understand how biodiversity has changed over time and space. They enhance information associated with specimens by providing details regarding dates, localities (for geo-referencing), and associated event data. For example, field diary entries may describe habitats, meteorological events, personal observations, and emotional declarations. These additional data allow us to assess the intrinsic value of specimens, as well as use information in new ways: reconstructing historical ecologies, clarifying specimen's provenance, and re-discovering localities.

Field books as an object type are located and described in a wide variety of ways. They can be found in rare book collections, libraries, archives, and museum departments. Field book descriptions can range from brief folder level descriptions in finding aids to having no descriptions at all. Regrettably, field book collections are often distributed across departments within an institution or even across multiple institutions with no centralized access point, complicating researcher's ability to discover and access them. Furthermore, although generally considered archival documents, field books are just as frequently managed in museum collections, science labs, and discipline-specific libraries. These various types of custodianship result in a myriad of descriptive practices with varying levels of detail, further compounding access and usability issues.

To overcome these challenges, we have worked closely with the custodians of these unique materials to identify, catalog, and digitize these hidden collections. Our workflows and practices have been community-developed as we work with the different Smithsonian departments with field book holdings, and collaborate with other institutions through the BHL Field Notes Project.

Funding

Additional grants have enabled the Field Book Project to expand its objectives to meet researcher demands including funding from Save America's Treasures, the Smithsonian Women's Committee, the Arcadia Foundation and CLIR. Current funding is the gift of the Arcadia Foundation.

Testimonials

"I liked that we didn't know what was going to happen before we did the experiment. Instead of being taught something and then just doing an experiment to prove it, we made an attempt to find out what would happen ourselves."
- PlantingScience Student

"At every opportunity, all involved kept reminding my students of the process that real science requires. This helped me to convince my students that they are really doing science - not just play acting until some future date."
- PlantingScience Teacher

"It is a lot of fun interacting with students from an age group I don't have the chance to spend a lot of time with. It is a good reminder of where public knowledge of plant science stands, and a great opportunity for me to practice explaining key concepts in a simple and straightforward way."
- PlantingScience Mentor

Tables charting the chemical elements have been around since the 19th century - but this modern version has a short video about each one.

We've done all 118 - but our job's not finished. Now we're updating all the videos with new stories, better samples and bigger experiments.

Plus we're making films about other areas of chemistry, latest news and occasional adventures away from the lab.

All these videos are created by video journalist Brady Haran, featuring real working chemists from the University of Nottingham.

To learn more about the standards and to view the NGSS Appendices, click here.

Download a PDF of all performance expectations grouped by topic. You may also view DCI arrangements of standards or search for individual performance expectations. To the right under Related Resources are Storylines and PDFs of related standards.Storylines are statements that describe the context and rationale for the Performace Expectations (PEs) in each grade band and section.

The topics arrangements of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) include the same PEs as in the DCI arrangements, but the PEs are bundled differently. At the beginning of the NGSS writing process, the writers arranged the Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) into topics around which to develop the standards in order to eliminate potential redundancy, seek an appropriate grain size, and seek natural connections among the DCIs. However, the codes (names) of individual PEs are based on the DCI arrangement of the standards. Some states prefer to use the topical arrangements of the standards, whereas other states prefer to use the DCI arrangements of the standards.
