Discusses role of the National Science Foundation in U.S. research in the Arctic and Antarctic. For the latter NSF has fostered a coordinated basic research program. Some features of it and techniques developed might be utilized in a bipolar program on problems of common interest, e.g. conjugate phenomena of the upper atmosphere, international cooperation, etc. Proposals for basic research in the Arctic are welcomed.

This paper reports on the findings of an evaluation of the use of computer simulation packages in secondary schools. It focuses on the results of an attitude inventory of a larger study which was funded by the National Science Foundation. One of the significant findings is the detection of a positive shift in students' attitudes toward computer simulations.

Fraction Addition

Why do so many middle school students find fraction addition and subtraction difficult despite the fact that they have studied this topic since third or fourth grade? The Rational Number Project (RNP) (Cramer and Henry 2002; Cramer, Post, and delMas 2002) with support from the National Science Foundation is currently engaged in a teaching experiment with sixth graders from a large urban district in the Midwest to address this question.
