" kids keep coming back for more and more play time. We loved their statement, "Let's show our children that Math and Science can be loved." Numerosity may not have coined the term Gameful Learning, but they refer to it often and explain it as a way to engage and empower learners by placing them in the driving seat."

"In this INDEX the numerals refer to the engravings and the numbered paragraphs. Each page contains all the descriptive matter appertaining to the illustrations

"The United States Navy airships U.S.S. Akron (ZRS-4) and U.S.S. Macon (ZRS-5) were designed for long-range scouting in support of fleet operations. Often referred to as flying aircraft carriers, each ship carried F9C-2 Curtiss Sparrowhawk biplanes which could be launched and recovered in flight, greatly extending the range over which the Akron and Macon could scout the open ocean for enemy vessels."

"Students can learn some science concepts just as well from computers simulations as they do from direct observation, new research suggests.

Lift (force) - Bernoulli's Principle - since the air moves faster on the top of the wing the air pressure must be lower. --g+*& - general interest, pictures, illustrations, animation, extensive advanced material and references

collection focuses on The Pacific War, a term referring to parts of World War II that took place in the Pacific Ocean, the islands of the Pacific and the Far East. The start of The Pacific War is generally considered to be the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941.

On a windy day like today what better excuse than to teach turns around a point. Ground reference maneuvers commonly get taught at the very beginning of a students training just to be neglected later on as an "elementary" flight maneuver. However that is so far from the truth! If students really learned how to compensate for wind using varying bank angles they would fly better traffic patterns and improve all aspects of their flying

"NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which is carrying a suite of instruments including a $32 million University of Colorado Boulder package, has provided scientists with new information that energy from some solar flares is stronger and lasts longer than previously thought. See Also: Space & Time * Solar Flare * Sun * Northern Lights Earth & Climate * Geomagnetic Storms * Atmosphere * Energy and the Environment Reference * Solar flare * Solar radiation * Corona * Geomagnetic storm Using SDO's Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment, or EVE instrument designed and built at CU-Boulder, scientists have observed that radiation from solar flares sometimes continues for up to five hours beyond the initial minutes of the main phase of a solar flare occurrence."

"A mathematician needs functions for the same reason that a builder needs hammers and drills. Tools transform things. So do functions. In fact, mathematicians often refer to them as "transformations" because of this. But instead of wood or steel, functions pound away on numbers and shapes and, sometimes, even on other functions."

"What is Plagiarism? Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:"
