Extractions: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/education/index.html The National Geographic Society's Geography Education Program has established a network of state geographic alliances-grassroots organizations composed mainly of K-12 teachers and university geographers-dedicated to improving and promoting geography education. These alliances support professional development for teachers, development of classroom materials, and efforts to make geography a part of state and local curricula. Vermont Geographic Alliance Department of Geography NASA's State-Based Electronic Notebook is the source for NASA and aerospace education in your state. Includes links to K-university level education contacts, resources, and information. State Geological Survey Almost all of the 50 states (and Puerto Rico) have an agency that deals with geological hazards and resources within its bounds. Some have more than one (e.g., one for petroleum resources, one for general geology, and one for water resources), and some have delegated the responsibilities to a unit within a state university. Most, but not all of these institutions are connected to the Internet. For all of these agencies, we've included snail mail addresses as well as known e-mail and Internet links.

While not explicitly tied to particular national or state standards, its reports provide a way of looking at student progress across the country in the eight subject areas the NAEP covers. These are the arts, civics, geography, math, reading, science, US history, and writing. Each subject has its own page that contains findings from related assessments, answers to basic questions about assessment, and standards and frameworks links. The NAEP site contains the following results (and the year last administered): the arts (1997), civics (1998), geography (1994; the 2001 results are being analyzed), math (2000), reading (2000), science (1996;the 2000 results are due in the fall of 2001), US history (1994; the 2001 results are being analyzed), and writing (1998).

The school bee consists of 7 preliminary rounds, each person getting one question. Then the students with the most correctly answered questions move to the finals. There had to be a tie breaker between all of the students with 3 points. Pictured at the left are Tenley, Derek, and Jennie, our Third Place contestant. Geography Bee 2002 Which large city on the Gulf coastal Plain of Texas was flooded in June 2001 due to rains brought by Tropical Storm Allison? All school winners complete a paper and pencil test provided by the NGS. If Derek's score is among the top 100 scores in Vermont, he will be invited to the state bee at Middlebury College in April. Each state winner will advance to the national level which is held in Washington in May and is hosted by Alex Trebek of "Jeopardy!" fame. Derek answered six out of seven questions correctly in the Preliminary round, followed by Ally with five. Ben captured third place by surviving a tiebreaker round among eight other students.

http://www.ethanallen.org/commentaries/1998/fordham.html

Extractions: How tough are Vermont's standards for public education? That's a question that admits of a lot of different answers, depending on what sort of standards one thinks should be used. . People who believe that getting along with one's peer group and avoiding harmful competition where some child might come in second will obviously disapprove of rigorous academic standards based on knowledge and achievement. Now comes a new group which has completed a thorough assessment of history, geography, math and science standards in the states. It's called the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. The most familiar names among its trustees are Chester Finn Jr., Diane Ravitch, and Bruno Manno. All three are nationally-known leaders in the cause of no-nonsense, academically challenging content standards. They and many other Americans have long been alarmed that barely a quarter of our high school seniors are considered proficient in history, only one in ten is proficient in geography, and of 21 countries tested by the international TIMSS study released in February U.S. high school seniors rated 19th in math and 16th in science. The Fordham team reviewed mathematics standards in 46 states for clarity, content, reason, and absence of false doctrine. Their disappointing conclusion: "on the whole, the nation flunks." Here Vermont rated a C, and a 16th in the nation ranking. The report gave Vermont a generally good rating for its elementary standards, but poor reviews for the high school level. The geography group looked for "clear, specific, assessable state standards that establish high expectations for student mastery of essential geography knowledge and skills..." Each state's standards were tested for clarity, specificity, balance, use of active verbs, benchmarks for progress, and guidance to teachers.

Extractions: by Velikovsky, page 4-6 Fossil tusks of the mammoth - an extinct elephant - were found in northern Siberia and brought southward to markets at a very early time. Northern Siberia provided more than half the world's supply of ivory, many piano keys and many billiard balls being made from the fossil tusks of mammoths. In 1797 the body of a mammoth, with flesh, skin, and hair, was found in northeastern Siberia. The flesh had the appearance of freshly frozen beef; it was edible, and wolves and sled dogs fed on it without harm. The ground must have been frozen ever since the day of their entombment; had it not been frozen, the bodies of the mammoths would have putrefied in a single summer, but they remained unspoiled for some thousands of years. In some mammoths, when discovered, even the eyeballs were still preserved. (All) this shows that the cold became suddenly extreme .. and knew no relenting afterward. In the stomachs and between the teeth of the mammoths were found plants and grasses that do not grow now in northern Siberia .. (but are) .. now found in southern Siberia. Microscopic examination of the skin showed red blood corpuscles, which was proof not only of a sudden death, but that the death was due to suffocation either by gases or water. As we have stated, the Atlantic will widen and the Pacific will shorten. Where the Pacific effect will cause sudden and violent subduction of several plates, which are already subducting, in the Atlantic the effect will be the opposite. A gulf will appear, with plates torn apart and the softer magma under the plates exposed to the cold Atlantic water. Where this will harden the magma, and establish new plate surface, there will be less support for the abridging plates, those that attach however remotely to the shorelines of the Americas, Europe, and Africa. These non-supported plates will sink, somewhat, bringing their formerly above-water land masses down under the water in many places. As an instance, Europe and in particular the western islands of Britain and Ireland will find itself more affected than some other parts of the globe.

http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/geography/geog06.htm

Extractions: American Geography MAP A map of America's eastern seaboard reveals a lack of large cities along the coast north of Boston. Few major overland routes extend inland from this coast, and interior cities are generally smaller than those along the ocean. This area, comprising northern New England and the Adirondacks of New York, can be referred to as the Bypassed East ( Map 5 The Bypassed East is near, even astride, major routeways, but not on them. Ocean transportation can easily bypass the region, putting it in a transportation shadow that has produced slow regional economic growth and even stagnation. Southern New England is a part of metropolitan America. Northern New England, for the most part, is not. It is much more like Canada's Atlantic Provinces. THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Much of the Bypassed East is beautiful. The Presidential Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire contains some of the most rugged topography in the eastern United States. The extensive shoreline thrusts out into the Atlantic and meets the ocean's waves with a heavily indented coast that mixes dramatic headlands with many small coves bordered by rocky beaches. Large empty areas, almost totally lacking in settlement, are only hours away from some of the largest cities on the continent. Most of the Bypassed East is a part of the northeastern extension of the Appalachian Uplands. However, the structure of the area bears little surface resemblance to the clearly delineated ridge and valley system of the southern Appalachians.
