First
Voices Radio
Our purpose is to help ensure the continuance and survival
of Indigenous cultures and Nations by letting "the people"
tell their own story, in their own words, and often in their
own languages and ways of speaking. FVR educates and informs,
while breaking down the romanticization, historical and current
stereotypes, and begin to form real relationships with Indigenous
nations and communities, based finally, on respect and real
understanding.

OKLAHOMA
INDIAN MISSIONARY CONFERENCE
In the United Methodist Church in the United States there
are three missionary conferences. The reason these conferences
exist is as a mission strategy to reach and be in ministry
with persons who, in the judgement of the Church, cannot be
effectively reached through the normal structure and purpose
of annual conferences. Native persons in Alaska, Appalachia,
and Oklahoam (including adjoning areas) are those so identified.

The
American Academy of Arts & Sciences
Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences honors
excellence and convenes leaders from every field of human endeavor
to examine new ideas, address issues of importance to the nation
and the world, and work together "to cultivate every art and
science which may tend to advance the interest, honor, dignity,
and happiness of a free, independent, and virtuous people."

Scientific
Method
Today's top news stories are filled with reports on scientists
and doctors working on creating new tests, treatments, and
vaccines for Covid-19. How do scientists organize their experiments?
How are new scientific theories proven? The scientific method
is a series of steps used to take ideas from inspiration to
provable facts. It has roots in the seventeenth century, and
is the same process used when working on a science fair project.
Learn more about the scientific method with these recommended
sites.

Scientific Method
"When scientists see something they don't understand they have
some huge urge to answer questions and discover new things.
It's one of those scientist personality traits. The trick is
that you have to be able to offer some evidence that confirms
every answer you give. f you can't test your own answer, other
scientists can't test it to see if you were right or not." Biology4Kids
offers great insight into what the scientific method is and
why it is used.

Science Tools: Scientific Method for Grades K-12
"In this article, the scientific method is laid out in steps.
In practice, though, it's usually not this neat. Scientists
and students will often have to repeat steps and start over
with experiments. It's part of the process, the 'art of science,'
not a sign of failure!" Home Science Tools presents two versions
of the scientific method: one for elementary-school students,
and another for middle-school and high-school students.

Kahn
Academy: The Scientific Method
"In most cases, the scientific method is an iterative process.
In other words, it's a cycle rather than a straight line. The
result of one go-round becomes feedback that improves the next
round of question asking." This Kahn Academy page is embedded
with additional explanations. Just click on any of the blue
links within brackets (Is a hypothesis a theory? Can any explanation
count as a hypothesis?) to see more.

Bob: The Scientific Method
Science Bob is chock full of experiments and science fair ideas.
Use this simple explanation of the scientific method to guide
your science fair project, no matter the field. "After doing
your research, try to predict the answer to the problem. Another
term for hypothesis is 'educated guess'. This is usually stated
like 'If I…(do something) then…(this will occur).'"

Buddies: Steps of the Scientific Method
Science Buddies provides a detailed look at the scientific
method, with links to additional resources appropriate for
high-school students. "To complete your science fair project
you will communicate your results to others in a final report
and/or a display board. Professional scientists do almost
exactly the same thing by publishing their final report in
a scientific journal or by presenting their results on a poster
or during a talk at a scientific meeting. In a science fair,
judges are interested in your findings regardless of whether
or not they support your original hypothesis."
