Standards and Narrative for Web Page

Please look at the following and comment. Dick said not to go overboard with the listing of stds. so I stuck with Science and History. I included the whole standard so that you could read it here and not have to access dpi. On the webpage, I'm assuming that Dick or the powers that be will just place the numbers for the stds.
Since everyone else was busy with the script, Melinda and I wrote the narrative for the podcast intro on the web page. Please look these over and comment. Thanks.

Wisconsin Model Academic Standards

The Sense the Wonder exhibit is an introduction to the museum experience. It is a representation of the historical and cultural thinking that spawned the collection of objects.

Social Science, Standard B: History

B.4.1 Identify and examine various sources of information that are used for constructing an understanding of the past, such as artifacts, documents, letters, diaries, maps, textbooks, photos, paintings, architecture, oral presentations, graphs, and charts

B.8.1 Interpret the past using a variety of sources, such as biographies, diaries, journals, artifacts, eyewitness interviews, and other primary source materials, and evaluate the credibility of sources used

B.8.12 Describe how history can be organized and analyzed using various criteria to group people and events chronologically, geographically, thematically, topically, and by issues


Science, Standard A: Science Connections

A.8.4 Collect evidence to show that models developed as explanations for events were (and are) based on the evidence available to scientists at the time

A.8.5 Show how models and explanations, based on systems, were changed as new evidence accumulated (the effects of constancy, evolution, change, and measurement should all be part of these explanations)

Podcast Introduction for the Web Page

This podcast of the Sense the Wonder exhibit is an introduction to the museum experience. It represents the historical and cultural thinking that spawned the collection of objects for the purpose of public viewing. As such, the Milwaukee Public Museum was on the cutting edge of innovation during the Victorian Age in America.

These standards look great! I printed them out and all looks good. I'm sure we could find a few more to add, but I too beleive (as Dick does), that we have enough to show relevance to our project.
