National Science Teachers Association
[]

The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), founded in 1944 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is the largest organization in the world committed to promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. NSTA's current [|membership] of 60,000 includes science teachers, science supervisors, administrators, scientists, business and industry representatives, and others involved in and committed to science education. To address subjects of critical interest to science educators, the Association [|publishes] a professional journal for each level of science teaching; a 52-page newspaper, //NSTA Reports//; and many other educational books and professional publications. Publications, books, posters, and other educational tools are available through the NSTA Recommends catalog and [|online]. NSTA offers a wide range of [|professional development opportunities] for science educators at all levels, including the [|NSTA Learning Center], [|NSTA Conferences on Science Education] , [|Research Dissemination Conferences] , [|NSTA New Science Teacher Academy] , [|Toyota TAPESTRY Grants for Teachers] , and Conferences. The Association serves as an advocate for science educators by keeping its members and the general public [|informed] about national issues and trends in science education. NSTA disseminates results from nationwide [|surveys] and reports and offers testimony to Congress on science education-related legislation and other issues. The Association develops [|position statements] on issues such as teacher preparation, laboratory science, use of animals in the classroom, laboratory safety, and elementary and middle level science.

====View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons. ====
