"an experiment to determine whether corn ear worms can survive or the pupation rate affected by a zero gravity space flight, with the ultimate purpose of being utilized in some capacity in an interplanetary colonizing. We have created this blog to allow our students the opportunity to comment and keep up with what each school is doing regarding this experiment."
"helping educators make science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, come alive for learners. Each experience and resource offered through Teaching From Space is intended to be unique and accessible and to provide real-life connections to the world of STEM.

"The Discovery Center Science Programs address specific State Science Standards and can be applied to a range of grade levels. In each session, the students themselves will be active participants in performing experiments, discovering the reality behind the science and learning how it can be used to impact their own lives. Each of these programs model one 45 minute classroom period of an inquiry-based series of lessons and all use simple, inexpensive and easy to obtain materials."
"Get ready to get blown away by our bridges. Most bridges are suspension bridges but there are some arch bridges and truss bridges.
The bridges are made with ALL KINDS of materials like popsicle sticks, wire, cardboard, paper mache, pasta, metal, hockey sticks, and wood. Hailey's was the smallest and Janaya's was the biggest. All of our bridges were interesting and amazing. They showed what we knew about strength, decks, approaches, holding a load (weight), reinforcements and all kinds of bridge stuff."
new ways to highlight the importance of STEM and bring innovative ways of engaging kids into the classroom.
WHAT IS STEMPOSIUM?
STEMposium is the collaboration students, teachers and other educational innovators in STEM education who are sharing their innovations in how to teach, learn and engage STEM in the classroom through 60 second videos.
"It depends on what you define as "electricity". Do you mean the flow of "electrons" or the flow of "current"? Because, due to an unfortunate quirk of history, the direction of *current* flow is opposite to the direction of *electron* flow. "
"There are 11 after-school clubs at P.S. 1, including one that helps students produce their own videos. This year, they created a series of talk shows that focused on topics like math, bullying, health, happiness and peace."
SafeSearch Filtering (or use Control F to find it quickly!) and choose what level filter you want to use. You can tailor it to every computer in the house. Google offers all kinds of safe search tips and functions on Google's Family Safety Center.
"Cybersmart provides activities, resources and practical advice to help young kids, kids, teens and parents safely enjoy the online world.

"One of the biggest challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering, and math is capturing the students' imaginations long enough for them to see all of the possibilities that lie ahead," the company wrote on the Learn with Portals site. "Using interactive tools like the Portal series to draw them in makes physics, math, logic, spatial reasoning, probability, and problem-solving interesting, cool, and fun, which gets us one step closer to our goal-engaged, thoughtful kids!"
"Origami Paper airplane/Dart It is hard to decide if this is a airplane or dart. It is very dense at the front and if thrown hard will fly far. This is a hard exercise in folding and also for me in writing and drawing instructions."
Origami Paper airplane/Dart It is hard to decide if this is a airplane or dart. It is very dense at the front and if thrown hard will fly far. This is a hard exercise in folding and also for me in writing and drawing instructions.
The classic dart This paper airplane is designed for bored people in offices, lectures and classrooms the world over. 7 folds and throw, there isn't a difficult part in making this plane. I must dedicate it to Peter Batey who received my email for a few weeks and sent me this design.
"Cool Stuff to do @ Home The activities are a part of The Tech's new IDEA (Innovation, Design, Exploration Activities) kits. They're a new endeavor for us here in the Programs Department, and we need your help and insight to make the kits program bigger, better, and more fun."
"NSTA provides national and international leadership in science education by identifying the qualities and standards for good science education; these are set forth in the form of position statements, which are used to support the improvement of science education at all levels."
