The Science Teacher April 2009 This issue of The Science Teacher continues our tradition of devoting one issue each year to partnerships that connect students, teachers, and their communities. Science activities that take students outside school walls combine learning with community service and show students that what they learn inside the classroom applies to their everyday lives. This issue provides a sampling of model projects used in classrooms across the country—from investigating bacteriophages in Maine waterways to posing research questions about indoor air quality in rural Montana to converting batches of cafeteria waste fryer oil into biodiesel in Pennsylvania. We hope these ideas serve as motivation to incorporate similar projects in your classrooms!

The Science Teacher March 2009 This issue of The Science Teacher marks our 14th consecutive annual issue devoted to the theme of inclusion of all learners. This theme serves as an umbrella for ideas and strategies to mitigate academic achievement gaps associated with ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, physical disabilities, limited English language proficiency, learning differences, and even gifted abilities. Enriching the classroom experience for all learners will contribute fabric to the great patchwork heritage that is our nation’s strength.
