A group of 12 teenagers from all across the Portland/Vancouver area have teamed up to build an airplane. It's a one of a kind program developed by local aviation enthusiasts who are now passing on what they know to a new generation. Vancouver's Mountain View High School. For six hours every Saturday, 12 local teens get to build an airplane with the help of dedicated mentors who are all volunteering their time to help in the effort. Scott McDaniels helped create the teen flight program.

LESSON PLANS - A library of fun science experiments to help students understand how the Wrights developed the first powered aircraft. WIND TUNNEL TESTS In 1901, the Wright Brothers conducted wind tunnel tests that helped them learn about lift. With NASA's help, we'll recreate some of those tests. Follow along! COMPUTER SIMULATIONS We're using computers to analyze the Wrights' early wing designs and the 1903 Wright Flyer. What will we learn?

" to design and develop well-engineered assessment tools to support US schools in implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS). Tools for formative and summative assessment that make knowledge and reasoning visible, and help teachers to guide students in how to improve, and monitor their progress. These tools comprise: * Lesson Units for Formative Assessment: some focused on math concepts, others on non-routine problem solving - 20 per grade for Grades 7-12. * Professional Development Modules: to help teachers with the new pedagogical challenges that formative assessment presents. * Summative Assessment Task Collection: to illustrate the range of performance goals required by CCSS. * Prototype Summative Tests: designed to help teachers and students monitor their progress, these tests provide a model for examinations that may replace or complement current US tests."

Volunteers from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson spent their weekend helping inspire children from local school districts to get involved in aviation. Volunteers participated in the Build-a-Plane program at Begich Middle School. The program is designed to help motivate children to take an active interest in aviation and life. The program got off the ground of the school after speaker Barrington Irving, the youngest and first African-American to pilot a plane around the world, stopped by the school for a speech, according to Angie Slingluff, FAA Education coordinator.

"StoryMath™ is an innovative new approach that uses storytelling to present math in a fresh, fun and exciting light. Reading and listening to our stories will stimulate students' imagination and help them learn useful vocabulary. Moreover, seeing math in this new context enables a deeper understanding of concepts - and helps remove the fear of the subject. "

"A hands-on approach designed to provide help students develop a better understanding of friction in both solid surfaces and fluids & which fluids include liquid and gas. A new spin on friction focuses on kinetic, static, fluid, and skin friction to help students make connections with this force in other contexts, instead of only using ramps or flat surfaces when teaching this concept."

a resource for teachers who are interested in having a classroom blog. The wiki includes class videos explaining the benefits of blogging, how to compose a quality comment, and the importance of the Creative Commons license. I chronicle the steps I've taken to teach my students how to compose quality comments and have tips to help teachers develop their own online communities. Included are links to other educational bloggers and sample posts organized by subject matter. I hope that teachers will find the wiki helpful and will open up their classrooms through educational blogging.

"those who fund science research find magicians "sexier than lab rats." I'm all for helping science. But after I share what I know, my neuroscientist friends thank me by showing me eye-tracking and MRI equipment, and promising that someday such machinery will help make me a better magician."

Scholarships for 2011 are now available. Women in Aviation, International scholarship awards In the past 21 years, millions of dollars to its members to help them get ahead and advance into the aviation and aerospace careers they have always dreamed about. scholarships help teachers too, by providing them with the resources to bring aviation into their classrooms or to enhance their skills."

The Milky Way Project aims to sort and measure our galaxy, the Milky Way. Initially we're asking you to help us find and draw bubbles in beautiful infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. Understanding the cold, dusty material that we see in these images, helps scientists to learn how stars form and how our galaxy changes and evolves with time.

Moon Zoo - with your help, we hope to study the lunar surface in unprecedented detail. Thanks to the help of the Moon Zoo community we have already visually classified 1,599,082 images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

"Chemistry Of Cooking A Biochemist Explains The Chemistry Of Cooking cooking is all about chemistry and knowing some facts can help chefs understand why recipes go wrong. Because cooking is essentially a series of chemical reactions, it is helpful to know some basics. "

"Team Note-Taker took first place in the Software Design category with a technology inspired by team member Hayden who is legally blind and had trouble keeping up with note-taking in black-board intensive math classes. The team's solution helps low-vision students take efficient and effective notes with the help of a custom-designed, portable camera, a touch-screen Tablet PC and Microsoft OneNote. The solution allows students to view live video and simultaneously take typed or hand-written notes on a split-screen interface."

"An elephant's hairs help heat travel away from the skin. According to the study, a light breeze is enough to significantly cool an elephant, increasing its heat loss by 20 per cent. Elephants, big leathery animals that they are, need to know how to cool off. They also use their trunks to splash water and mud on themselves."

"So far the products produced using remote-touch technology, such as hug shirts and kiss phones, may seem creepy, but here's one that sounds helpful instead. The Mobile Lorm Glove, a prototype created by a lab in the University of Arts Berlin, transmits the touch alphabet used by some people who are both deaf and blind, called Lorm. "
