PRISMS is a collection of reviewed phenomena and representations for middle school science teachers and learners. All resources are evaluated on the basis of their support of learning goals in AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy, Science for All Americans, and the NSES (National Science Education Standards). "Phenomena" are real-world objects and events that provide evidence of ideas in science. "Representations" are models, simulations, animations, and diagrams that serve to clarify ideas in science.
Topics include astronomy, biology, earth science, structure of matter, energy, force and motion, and ecology. Each resource is accompanied by an annotated review that addresses the scope, quality, and sophistication of the item under review. Please note that this resource requires Flash, or Java Applet Plug-in, or Quicktime.
