NATIONAL CLEARINGHOUSE DATABASE OF STANDARDS - Achieve
Standards: Achieve offers a searchable database of statements
of educational standards produced by states and national
professional organizations.

Each document is identified by its source, the academic
subject it covers, and the grade levels to which it applies.
Searching by subject allows you to view all of the documents
pertaining to a given academic subject, such as mathematics.
A search by topic lets you choose one or more areas within
a subject - for example, the topic of measurement within
mathematics - and find only documents pertaining to those
areas.

With a full text search, you can specify particular words
or phrases and find all the documents in which they appear.

BOIL, BOIL, TOIL AND TROUBLE
THE INTERNATIONAL BOILING POINT PROJECT
   http://k12science.stevens-tech.edu/curriculum/boilproj/

A project that people from all over the world boil water at different elevations and post data to discover which factor in the
experiment (room temperature, elevation, volume of water, or heating device) has the greatest influence on boiling point.

Students boil water, record information, and send it in for inclusion in the database of results. Students can analyze all the data to answer the question: What causes a pot of water to boil? Instructions are included, and students are encouraged
to predict what the boiling point might be for a school at
a different location, and then to find a school at that
location to do the experiment and confirm their theory.
