"National Environmental Education Week (EE Week), the nation's largest environmental education event held each year the week before Earth Day, inspires environmental learning and stewardship among K-12 students. EE Week connects educators with environmental resources to promote K-12 students' understanding of the environment. EE Week is a program of the National Environmental Education Foundation. "

"The Google Science Fair is an online science competition seeking curious minds from the four corners of the globe. Anybody and everybody between 13 and 18 can enter. All you need is an idea. Geniuses are not always A-grade students. We welcome all mavericks, square-pegs and everybody who likes to ask questions. The entry deadline has now passed for the Google Science Fair 2012. We received fantastic projects from the four corners of the world, and have narrowed it down to 15 finalists and awarded our Science in Action prize. The 15 finalists will be flown to a finalist event in California, USA on 23rd July 2012, where the winners will be crowned! "

"BuildAPlane, in cooperation with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), will once again sponsor Teacher's Day at EAA's AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26, 2011 and will expose teachers to a variety of programs and curricula that assist educators in bringing aviation into classrooms. Elementary to high school teachers from across the United States are invited to participate at no charge. "

"Math in the News Current events, as seen through the prism of mathematics: This is what "Math in the News" brings every week. We look through stories that make today's headlines and extract the mathematical story underlying it."

"According to Star Trek lore, it is only 51 years until humans encounter their first contact with an alien species. In the movie "Star Trek: First Contact," on April 5, 2063, Vulcans pay a visit to an Earth recovering from a war-torn period.

The historic skywatching event, called a transit of Venus by astronomers, is among the rarest of predictable phenomena and one that has amazed scientists and observers throughout history.

"FEATURED CRAFTSMAN! 2011 Craftsman of the Decade, Louis Chenot Visit Lou's page, which is linked from the Model Engineering Masterpieces section to see superb models featuring a running 1/6 scale 1932 SJ Duesenberg in miniature. Lou was presented with his $2000 award at the NAMES Expo in Detroit April 30th, 2011. He and his wife, June visited the Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad, CA on September 2, 2011 to display and discuss the model for local visitors.

New at spaceplace.nasa.gov One type of Earth-observing spacecraft is the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites, also known as GOES, built by NASA and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. The GOES are workhorse satellites doing everyday tasks; they watch and warn of developing severe weather, monitor events such as floods and fires, and monitor solar storms that can have damaging effects on Earth.

"Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents - Fall 2006. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics."

a fun group of aviation enthusiasts of all ages and from all walks of life. Our organization consists of students, balloonists, enthusiasts, pilots, instructors, FAA examiners, and just "plane" folk who are crazy about aviation. Women with Wings (WWW) gatherings are a time when we share our mutual enthusiasm for aviation and spread the word about special aviation-related tours and outreach events.

"For the past 28 years, Science Olympiad has led a revolution in science education. What began as a grassroots assembly of science teachers is now one of the premiere science competitions in the nation, providing rigorous, standards-based challenges to nearly 6,400 teams in 50 states. Science Olympiad's ever-changing event lineup provides a variety of career choices and exposure to practicing scientists and mentors."

"E.S.P. CheckMate is a 1st for Aviation. Our new "Emergency Substitute Pilot"tm could save the lives of you and your passengers by providing the most basic and simplest of terms and procedures to the NON-PILOT, in the unfortunate event the real pilot becomes incapacitated. E.S.P. CheckMatetm assists the NON-PILOT in controlling the aircraft, reaching help on the radio, and if necessary, landing the aircraft. The graphical format makes it easy and comfortable to follow. E.S.P. CheckMatetm can easily be the difference in the outcome of this most serious type of emergency."
