"it was probably an engineer who created the wheel, and you know an engineer was instrumental in erecting the Pyramids. Unfortunately, no record exists of stone age engineers, but here is a list of 10 Engineers Who Changed the Course of History."

"Edheads is an online educational resource that provides free science and math games and activities that promote critical thinking. Choose from Simple Machines, Virtual Knee Surgery or Stem Cell Heart Repair, among others. All activities meet state and national standards."

"Cartoon representation of the molecular structure of protein registered with 2jjq code"

"Many Bay Area engineers also grew up competing in the First Lego League, which also launched in 1998 with 200 teams. Since then the league has expanded - last year more than 280,000 children around the world, ages 6-18, participated."

"Model Jet Yak 130 Just Like The Real Deal"

"science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) software that bridges the gap between the excitement of gaming and the fundamentals of curriculum-based learning. We are an extremely passionate educational software company committed to one mission: creating relevant, exciting and useful educational software with the same level of quality found in entertainment titles. Our newest product, Time Engineers, teaches engineering, science, and math without leaving the fun of gaming behind. Students travel in a cool time machine to three different time periods and encounter typical engineering problems to be solved in order to build pyramids, irrigate farm land, command a WWII submarine, raise and lower medieval drawbridges, and much more."

"Instructional activities and lesson plans for visualization and spatial reasoning The activities and lesson plans listed here (by grade level) are described more extensively in Instructional Activities and Lesson Plans, where they are listed alphabetically."

"seven components to game-play that aptly fit curriculum design. Challenge is constant Everything is interconnected Failure is reframed as iteration Learning happens by doing Feedback is immediate and ongoing Everyone is a participant It feels like play"

"A report by Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project indicated that 73 percent of teachers use cell phones for classroom activities. Educational apps open a world of possibilities for teachers and students. The growing pool of grade- and subject-specific apps can keep students engaged and make teachers' lives easier."

"Although young women currently make up only 18 percent of engineering majors, there are many bright spots including such disciplines as biomedical and environmental engineering, where in 2011 these fields awarded 39 percent and 44 percent of their degrees, respectively, to women."

"The use of computers and computer languages in education has been impressive in the last couple of years.  More and more school going kids use computers in the heart of all academic and personal development than ever. Such use has been phenomenal in helping improve classroom interactive learning, bettering student grades and improving competitiveness in a modern education setting, among others."

"Dropbox can also be a useful tool in managing student projects and presentations. In my classes students use Dropbox to submit the visual components of class presentations, for instance. It's a huge time saver, as it otherwise takes several minutes for students to log in/out of their school accounts to access presentations. If you don't have individual accounts, you'll quickly find ways to let Dropbox help you work around that issue."

"The "why" of self-directed learning is survival-your own survival as an individual, and also the survival of the human race.  Clearly, we are not talking here about something that would be nice or desirable….We are talking about a basic human competence-the ability to learn on one's own-that has suddenly become a prerequisite for living in this new world. - Malcom Knowles, 1975"

"Colors in the photographs are produced by fluorescent dyes used to illuminate microscopic samples. The dyes are not true-color, but neither are the colorations arbitrary: Different dyes bind with different material structures, so that the resulting coloration patterns reflect the composition of samples. "

"Science Friday lesson plans are based on our popular Science Friday Videos and are created for us by the New York Hall of Science."

"Inquiry-based learning is an approach that can easily accommodate project-based learning, challenge-based learning, place-based education, blended learning, and other trends in education."
