Middle School [ Grade 6 - 8 ] Content Standards and Benchmarks McREL organizes benchmarks (learning objectives) under Subjects and Topics. Click on a subject or topic below to find McREL benchmarks and related Science Friday Kids' Connection Resource Pages.
About the Kids’ Connection:
an educational resource based on National Public Radio’s award-winning radio program, Talk of the Nation: Science Friday, hosted each Friday afternoon by veteran science journalist and author, Ira Flatow
each content page has a summary of the radio program, discussion ideas, activities, links to the audio, selected resources, and related science standards, all found on the web
science standards are selected from a national list developed by McREL, the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning in Denver, Colorado. McREL is a nationally recognized, private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to make a difference in the quality of education for all through applied research, product development, and service. For information on their Content Knowledge: A Compendium of Standards and Benchmarks for K-12 Education: 4th Edition, go to http://www.mcrel.org/standards-benchmarks/
used together, educators can make Talk of the Nation: Science Friday their weekly backgrounder, and the Kids’ Connection a springboard to curriculum enhancements, extra credit projects, or an accelerated learning program.
the Science Friday Kids’ Connection is produced by KIDSNET, the online resource helping educators, families and children harness the learning opportunities available from broadcast, radio and multimedia resources. For more information, go to www.kidsnet.org
