Fortunately, fostering such understandings needn't require reorganizing your entire curriculum. Simple shifts in how content and activities are approached can make a big difference in overcoming student misconceptions and building more accurate views of the process of science. Educational research supports the following strategies for teaching about the scientific endeavor:

Interview With Chap Percival

Speaker Info

Chap Percival is available to speak to your group. He will inspire, encourage, and enable you to get the most out of this once in a life time experience. He is engaging, funny, and will share from his experience of traveling to see five total solar eclipses on four continents. Be prepared to be amazed at the scale of the earth-moon-sun system and the grandeur of this event. The August 21, 2017 eclipse will be here before you know it. Contact him for speaking fees.

Where To Go
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wyoming. If you live in one of these states you may be in the path of totality. If you are not in the path, you will see only a partial eclipse. In this case, that is not what you want. You want to be in the path of totality. Here is a link to NASA's map of the eclipse. One word of caution. There is some uncertainty about the exact location of the edge of the path. You guarantee being in the path if you are a few miles inside the path away from the edge. Click here for larger maps by state.

Here is an animation of this total solar eclipse. The large grey circle is the Moon's penumbra, where you will see a partial eclipse, and the little, tiny black dot (about 65 miles [100 kilometers] across) is the umbra, where the total eclipse can be seen.

Nebraska Green Schools Program

The Nebraska Green Schools Program, a partnership between the Nebraska Department of Education and NPPD, is an environmental service-learning program that inspires students to take personal responsibility for improving the environment at their school, at home, and in their community.

Today's youth spend most of their waking hours in a school setting. The learning environment can have big impacts on a student's achievement and future behaviors. The Nebraska Green Schools program helps improve students' academic performance in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); develops students' critical thinking skills; and grows student leaders.

Nebraska Green Schools consists of five, student-led investigations for students in 4-12th grade. Once investigations are complete, students develop action plans and implement a project.
Energy Water School Site Environmental Quality Waste and Recycling
Investigate how much energy your school uses, the main sources of that energy, and propose ways to implement energy-saving strategies.
Become a Certified Nebraska Green Schools!
Investigate the source, cost, and quality of your school's water supply, and implement ways to enhance current water conservation practices.

Investigate natural habitats, wildlife, trees, grounds maintenance practices, and ways to make improvements to your school site.

Investigate the facility and make improvements in indoor air quality, transportation, chemical use, and more.

Investigate how much waste your school generates and where it goes, as well as identify existing recycling and composting efforts and identify ways to improve.

NPPD supports Nebraska Green Schools by facilitating an online course for students, providing educational resources and classroom programs, and offering teacher professional development.

To get started, register your school by contacting Jennifer Swerczek, 402-379-6916 or jlswerc@nppd.com or Sara Cooper, 402-471-4329 or sara.cooper@nebraska.gov.
