Galvani found that when he touched two types of metals-such as a brass hook and an iron scalpel-to a frog's legs, they began to twitch. RELATED STUDENT EXPLORATION Electricity Scientific illustrations Frankenstein Luigi Galvani, Alessandro Volta, and Henry R. Robinson DIAGRAM: Diagram of the first battery, which was made of alternating metal layers and saline-soaked leather pads, and proved electricity is caused by contact with dissimilar metals. In the late 1700s, an Italian scientist named Luigi Galvani made a startling discovery while experimenting with dissected frogs. [Extracted from the article]

We examined co-teacher effectiveness through the theoretical lens of intensity of effort by two coteaching university professors and their students' academic achievement. Data sources included student records, student and professor course artifacts, and student surveys. Participants (50) were enrolled college students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: Information, Technology, and Scientific Literacy for ALL Learners (STEM-ALL) project. Crossdisciplinary curriculum designed for undergraduate and graduate students included 22 learning outcomes, with the outcomes assessed 187 times in 58 assignments in four 3-credit hour university courses. Participants experienced co-teaching from observing their co-teaching professors and by completing assignments in co-teaching teams. Co-teaching by two professors resulted in high student achievement. Participants reported greatest impact of co-teaching on: learning to teach integrated and connected STEM content; planning for guided inquiry and STEM integrated content; learning to exercise professional judgement; determining uses of databases and other electronic sources; and delivering STEM curricular activities during their local school schedules.

The article enlists description of several books honored as "Best STEM Books" created by National Science Teachers Association on STEM education. Books included are Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine; Ada Lovelace, Poet of Science: The First Computer Programmer; and Breakthrough: How One Teen Innovator Is Changing the World.

The article focuses on the improvement of group discussions in science education. It says that some students are interested in science experiments but when it comes to discussions of findings, analyze results and conceptual understandings many are not participative. It notes that group discussions should arouse the interest of students to express their ideas in which the teacher can know the learning obtain by students. It highlights several suggestions for teachers on how to make students participate in group discussions from traditional classroom discourse to alternative classroom discourse.

This section offers science teaching news briefs. The Encyclopedia of Earth, which is based at Boston University and operated by the National Council for Science and the Environment, offers a wide range of articles from scholars and educators who reviews each other's work using Wikipedia. The K-12 Data Portal was created by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets to expose students to the situation in Antartica. Teaching with movie clips like those from "The Simpsons Movie" might increase the understanding of a student toward environmental science.
