What is the core curriculum of the SEDNet program?
Two exemplary core curricula, to be complemented by other activity-based programs, have been chosen for the pilot phase: Project ARIES and Astronomy Village . Project ARIES (Astronomy Resources for Intercurricular Elementary Science) , funded by the NSF, is an astronomy-based physical science curriculum for use in grades 3-8. It uses innovative, simple, and affordable apparatus to carry out a wide range of indoor and outdoor hands-on activities. The finished curriculum will include eight self-contained modules, all with numerous intercurricular and multicultural extensions. The materials can be used for 12-16 weeks, if science is done two to three hours per week. ARIES meets all pertinent Standards for elementary and middle school physical and space science. ARIES was field tested in more than 100 classrooms in 22 states. Comparison assessment results show that students using ARIES significantly outperformed students in control classrooms where the same topics were taught. Astronomy Vi
