- Arnot Teaching and Research Forest
"The Arnot Teaching and Research Forest, ’the Arnot’, is situated in the hilly, forested Southern Tier region of New York State . . . . The Arnot provides a place for Cornell faculty and students to carry out elements of the three-part mission of CALS: Teaching, Extension, and Research, in service to the citizens of New York."
- Beetle Science
"The abundance of beetle species and their countless interactions with other life forms make the study of beetles important to the biological sciences overall. At Cornell University, scientists in the Department of Entomology study beetles in the context of biodiversity, systematic biology, invasive species, and other topics which are presented in this Explore Cornell feature."
- Biological Sciences
Home page for Cornell’s Division of Biological Sciences. Includes links to each section of the division.
- CCMR Institute for Chemistry Teachers
"Designed specifically for high school chemistry teachers, the CCMR Institute for Chemistry Teachers (CICT) is a unique opportunity for professional development. The Institute currently offers a one-week course CHEM 501: Contemporary Chemistry for Teachers. One graduate credit is available upon successful completion of the course. Participants meet 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Lectures by Cornell faculty, hands-on laboratories, and research facility tours are used to update teachers on recent advances in chemistry. A major component of the course are take-home laboratories which the participants can use in their classrooms."
- CNS Institute for Physics Teachers
"Designed specifically for high school physics teachers, the CNS Institute for Physics Teachers (CIPT) is a unique opportunity for professional development. The Institute’s Goals: To update high school teachers on recent advances in physics and related engineering applications. To provide participants with take-home laboratory exercises designed to meet the time and budgetary constraints of a typical high school. These exercises are relevant to many aspects of the NYS Physics Core Curriculum. To develop a continuing relationship between Cornell University and participating high school teachers."
- Cornell Cooperative Extension
"The Cornell Cooperative Extension educational system enables people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work."
- Cornell Lab of Ornithology
"A membership institution interpreting and conserving the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds."
- Cornell University
The Cornell University Home Page.
- CUInfo
"Cornell University’s information system, where you can find answers to many of your questions about the University and the surrounding Ithaca area."
- CyberTower
"It's a cliché (an accurate one, by the way) that at Cornell you can study just about any subject. And now, thanks to the web, you can enjoy the best of Cornell wherever you happen to be, whenever you have the time and inclination." (Free registration req'd.)
- Environmental Inquiry
"Environmental Inquiry (EI) is a secondary school curriculum development project at Cornell University, dedicated to the creation, evaluation, and distribution of inquiry-based environmental science materials. Participants include science teachers and Cornell University science educators, scientists, and other resource people. The project seeks to help teachers engage their students in original investigations of local environments."
- Explore Cornell
"EXPLORE CORNELL is a multimedia magazine dedicated to Cornell University research, instruction, and facilities. The mission is to increase public access to the university’s most valuable asset: knowledge."
- Office of the Vice Provost for Research
"This Office helps the Cornell Community plan and coordinate research and represents the university in research matters as they relate to external agencies and sponsors. It also supports the activities of technology transfer, outreach, and undergraduate research."
- Plant Genome Research Outreach
"As we rapidly advance in our understanding of biological systems, an informational divide develops between those doing the research and those affected by the research. Our mission of reaching out to the community strives to bridge that gap to create an informed public, essential for the understanding, application, and integration of these scientific findings into such fields as medicine, agriculture, and law." Includes teacher resources and an annual teacher workshop. Flyer for the 2008 workshop can be downloaded here.
- School of Continuing Education
"Executives and professionals interested in professional development are welcome to attend any one of a number of courses and seminars presented throughout the year."
- Shoals Marine Laboratory
"Operating under the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University in cooperation with the University of New Hampshire in Durham, the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) offers a unique opportunity for students to experience marine science."
- Spiders: Learning More about Spider Biology
"I want to provide reference information: how you can learn more about spiders . . . . I want to encourage teachers to incorporate spiders into their classrooms because kids LOVE them! I provide project ideas and lists of resources on how to do it. In addition, I describe my ‘Spider Outreach Program’, which could be developed anywhere to bring more college students into local classrooms."
