4 Federal ‘Related Science Activities’ and Multilevel Regulation

L'ONERA, le laboratoire français en aérospatial, construit des systèmes radar aéroporté depuis plus de deux décennies pour des applications de défense mais aussi scientifiques. Au cours des six dernières années, l'instrument SETHI, embarqué à bord d'un avion Falcon 20, a été développé principalement pour des applications scientifiques. Dans cet article, la philosophie de son développement est mise en exergue et les instruments sont décrits en détails. L'instrument SETHI comprend trois systèmes radar en bandes P, L et X, une caméra dans le domaine visible, en visée oblique afin de suivre le champ de vue des radar, et une caméra hyperspectrale à visée au nadir. Cet article résume alors les dernières campagnes SETHI dans le cas de préparation de deux missions spatiales. Il s'agit tout d'abord de la mission de l'ESA, BIOMASS, comprenant un radar bande P pour la cartographie de la biomasse à grande échelle. La deuxième mission traite de surveillance maritime et comprend un radar en bande X. Pour chaque campagne, les principaux objectifs sont détaillés, les références aux articles correspondants sont fournies et les principaux résultats sont mis en avant. Finalement, l'article fournit un aperçu des prochains développements liés au système SETHI dans le cadre de la fusion de données optique et radar.

Science Activities

Arts-related science activities provide unique opportunities to engage students' strengths and motivate different types of learners (Jolly, 2014). Incorporating arts into the discussion of gene expression and microbiology introduces students to a multidisciplinary approach to STEM and provides an opportunity to explore the use of science in different fields such as design, art, and industry. In this protocol extension students create living works of art on agar plates by “painting” with E. coli that express fluorescent proteins of various colors.

Parents And Caregivers

This report prepared for The Jim Henson Company shares findings of a field study examining the promise of the Splash and Bubbles for Parents app, a second-screen digital resource designed for parents and caregivers to support young children’s learning of ocean science. The study conducted in 2020 involved a two-group, quasi-experimental design in which family participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention condition (who watched the show and used the app) or the comparison condition (who watched the show but did not have access to the app). Findings from this study provided information about how the app supported families to talk about science together; what science concepts and practices children learned through engaging with the app and related science activities; and how families shifted their attitudes, beliefs, or practices around science and media. Another finding highlighted parents and caregivers’ need for support around ways to engage with and use the app given that this represents a new type of digital tool.
