"As students are working through their various build sessions, we pause ocasionally to talk about the variables they are changing (independent), the expected outcome (dependent variable), and the records and/or graphs they are keeping on the flight times of their rocket (data collection and repeatable expeirmentation)."

"Learning how to program is going to be the most useful new skill we can teach our kids today. More than ever our lives depend on how smart we are when we instruct computers. "

"The gigantic dimensions of this ultra-lightweight revolutionary airplane - capable of flying day and night without fuel - are its trademark feature. To build it, the whole team had to push back the frontiers of knowledge in materials science, energy management and the man-machine interface. Every one of its take-offs, propelled silently by its four electric motors, inspires us to consider using clean, new technologies to free our society, little by little, from dependence on fossil energy. "

"Project-Based Learning, by definition, is flexible. It encourages learner-centeredness, provides the possibility of more authentic work, and allows learners to self-manage and self-direct in places they used to have their hands held. But this has its drawbacks. Learning is a capacity-building endeavor that seeks to, well, build capacity will ironically depending on that same capacity to progress,"

" The device uses layers of ultrathin materials that can make its wings flap 120 times a second, which is on a par with a housefly's flapping rate. This "required tremendous innovation in design and fabrication techniques", he adds. The robot's wings are composed of thin polyester films reinforced with carbon fibre ribs and its 'muscles' are made from piezoelectric crystals, which shrink or stretch depending on the voltage applied to them."

Fail Small is a really important idea for everything related to science, technology and engineering - learning, innovation depend on failure as well as success.

"7puzzle is a unique product as the contents of the game are kept in an eco-friendly distinctive black/lilac bag. This keeps the playing board clean and tidy, making it extremely difficult for the owner to lose the playing pieces. The playing board is a 7 by 7 grid of 49 squares, each containing a number, colour and shape. When taking on the challenges, players must place all of the 14 playing pieces (7 of which are straight and 7 angled) onto the board, therefore leaving seven spaces. The intention is that everything on the board will be covered up, except seven of a certain element, which may be a particular colour, shape or type of number, depending on the challenge undertaken."

"Visual or sonic, real or virtual, our experiences are a constant interface with key algebraic concepts like proportional and inverse relationships, graphical representations of slope, arithmetical functions, and independent and dependent variables. Design Zone: Behind the Scenes is a brand-new exhibit created by OMSI that makes math fun by directly connecting mathematical concepts to real-life experiences like hip-hop, art, skate parks, and more."

"We are all dependent to each other. Taken from Louie Schwartzberg TED talk."

"With each of their great achievements, the adventurers of the last century constantly pushed back the limits of the impossible. Today, the drive to make new discoveries must go on, not to conquer new territories but with the aim of improving the quality of life on our planet. In building the first solar aircraft able to fly day and night, and piloting it right round the world without fuel or pollution, Solar Impulse's ambition is for the world of exploration and innovation to contribute to the cause of renewable energies, to demonstrate the importance of clean technologies for sustainable development; to save natural resources and reduce our dependency on fossil energy; and to place dreams and emotions back at the heart of scientific adventure."

Tours last about 45 minutes but the length varies depending on the number of people and the number of questions they ask.

"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. "

"Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. The animations below demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling."

"mathematics. It is every bit as mind blowing as cosmology or physics (mathematicians conceived of black holes long before astronomers actually found any), and allows more freedom of expression than poetry, art, or music (which depend heavily on properties of the physical universe). Mathematics is the purest of the arts, as well as the most misunderstood. http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf Please read this long but enjoyable and very thought provoking essay from Paul Lockhart - it will change your idea of what education should be."

"Top 10 Air Forces Of The World are based on the countries plane quality and pilot Knowledge. China and India are not included because of their old, out of service, depended to other nation's and lack of pilot training. No matter how good the plane is the pilot has an important rule in combat. "

Steven Kassels has been Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and Addiction Medicine. He is a Co-Founder and Medical Director of Community Substance Abuse Centers, with treatment facilities located throughout New England. He has served as the Chair of the Massachusetts ASAM Public Policy Committee; a member of the ASAM Medical Specialty Advisory Group; and as CARF Expert Medical Consultant for Opioid Treatment Programs. When giving talks, he frequently donates his author proceeds to local treatment centers and he has personally subsidized the publishing costs to keep the price affordable. "Medicine has been very good to me and it is my way of trying to give back." Steve will Skype into book groups and they can be scheduled through his website. The book is available at Amazon, iBooks and Barnes and Noble online. @weyhrauchlaw TY for Follow. Doctors need to and can do more re: #Addiction http://t.co/3pNjlSF7p4
