Welcome to the Everyday Classroom Tools web site!
For the past three years, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory has
worked with elementary schools in Massachusetts to develop an
integrated, inquiry-inspiring curriculum framework that brings science
and the Internet into the everyday life of the elementary classroom.
Our goal has been to infuse the Spirit of Inquiry into every school
subject, so that students and teachers can approach learning as a
life-long exploration of the world around us.
The result of our efforts is embodied in the "Threads of Inquiry:
Observing the World Around Us", a series of ten hands-on, minds-on
investigations that focus on the changing seasons and other aspects of
our everyday experience. Developed according to the National Science
Education Standards, the Threads can guide you and your class towards
a practical and enthusiastic understanding of scientific inquiry.
Our investigations have been tested and evaluated and evolved for more
than three years by a team of teachers and scientists in Massachusetts
elementary schools. Now they are freely available online to you,
along with an introduction to inquiry in education and related
educational resources (especially connections to folklore).
This work has been supported by the NASA Learning Technologies Project. For more information about LTP, please visit their Web site.
When you see the symbol on the right, 
, it means there is an accompanying Adobe Acrobat
document (in "pdf" format) you can view and print out. The pdf files
are designed so that you can bind them into a hardcopy format which
includes page numbers. (The files for download are: Title and Contents Section, The Threads of Inquiry, The Keys to Inquiry, and
Folklore Resources, Assessment
Strategies, and Bibliography and Journal
Form. Otherwise, you can access individual pdf files as listed
below and within the WWW documents or view
the resources as WWW documents without the need to download anything.) To view the pdf documents, you will need to get Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free software program which is easy to install and simple to use. If you already have Acrobat Reader, then it will launch automatically when you click on any of those symbols following a document title.
