MSN Encarta - Mars (planet) The Mars Science Laboratory in 2009 is intended to put a lander on Mars that can travel over a vast amount of its surface. NASA launched the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in August 2005 to perform even higher resolution imaging and atmospheric studies and partly to search for landing sites for the Phoenix Mars Scout mission in 2007. But perhaps the most ambitious Mars mission yet conceived was announced in January 2004 by U.S. president George W. Bush, who called for the establishment of an astronaut base on the Moon by 2015 that would provide a launching pad for a manned mission to Mars by the middle of the 21st century. ca.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761566582_5/Mars_(planet).html   (235 words)

Re-Launching America's Science Education :: Parents: Let's Talk :: NWREL It includes administering annual science assessments at least once in three different grade spans (3–5, 6–9, and 10–12) by 2007–2008. Science and how it is taught in our public schools is the latest subject to undergo increased public scrutiny as a result of the No Child Left Behind Act, requiring all states to develop science standards by 2005—2006. Its 2000 report deemed our nation’s science education performance as “in a word, unacceptable.” The commission noted that over half of the high school students taking physical science were taught by out-of-field teachers, meaning those who were simply not prepared to teach in that particular area, although they might have credentials in another area. www.nwrel.org /comm/monthly/relaunch.html   (454 words)
