"Life outside the classroom for the seventh grader ( age 12). Why does mathematics exist? Every learning community has a need to quantify some aspects in its environment. Its language(s), economic and social environment determines how much content will be adopted and adapted to meet those aspects. Unfortunately increase globalization is bringing about changes. "

"Dr. Robert Lindberg, President and Executive Director of the National Institute of Aerospace, envisions a new way to introduce Engineering into the K-12 curriculum by exploring the distinctions between Science and Engineering; between the Natural World and the Designed World; and between the Scientific Method and the Engineering Design Process."

"Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges.

"Rover is the only education browser for your iPad, designed specially for teachers and students of all ages. Rover brings the best K-12 online learning content to your fingertips, including access to content ordinarily unavailable on the iPad (e.g. Flash content). Rover is powered by the iSwifter platform (the world's first cloud-based Flash streaming platform for mobile devices), and is specifically designed based on guidance from teachers, IT directors and administrators from schools around the country. "

Build the Station Simulation: Educator Guide -- Grades K-8 Just as five space agencies cooperated to build the International Space Station, students can work together to build a paper model of the world's largest orbiting laboratory. Teams take on the roles of international partners as they learn about and assemble portions of the model. During a mock summit, each team briefs the group about their section of the model. The teams then assemble the entire model to complete the space station. The guide includes student sheets, parts of the model, instructions for holding a summit, and facts about the station.

"solar array totting, wind turbine holding, rover meant to analyze snow accumulation on the glaciers of Greenland."

"Today's women are capable of contributing significantly to technological advancements benefiting the human race as well as shine in science careers. Their unique perspective and skills makes them sought-after and valuable problem solving scientists. This contest is designed to awake the inventor in young women worldwide. Entry deadline: February 8, 2013"

"Lesson plans by a team of educators & renewable energy experts. Includes teacher resource guides, reading passages for students, student worksheets Lesson plans are grouped into three age levels designed for elementary school (grades 4 & 5), middle school (grades 6, 7 & 8) & high school."

"Download any of the free paper airplane designs below and get flying!   Just print out the template onto standard 8.5" X 11" printer paper.  The fold and cut lines are clearly printed right onto the template, and each paper airplane design has easy-to-follow instructions.  Make sure to read the printing tips at the bottom of this page.  Also see the Flying Tips page for information about how to get the best performance out of your models.  "

3nd annual NEW SMYRNA BEACH BALLOON AND SKY FEST coming April 8-10, 2011 - Education zone, activities

"This activity is designed for middle school or high school teachers who are interested in introducing a real world, open ended problem that introduces engineering concepts. The curriculum presented here has been implemented quite successfully in a middle school in 6th and 8th grades."

"In this activity students will take part in an engineering design experience that allows them to observe"

"CIESE sponsors and designs interdisciplinary projects that teachers throughout the world can use to enhance their curriculum through compelling use of the Internet. We focus on projects that utilize real time data available from the Internet, and collaborative projects that utilize the Internet's potential to reach peers and experts around the world."

Middle and high school students across the country are challenged to create original video games, individually or as teams, and to submit their games for the opportunity to win important recognition for themselves and their communities. This is a great way to get students involved in STEM, in a non-traditional way.

"Electromagnetic Spectrum A picture showing the electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma waves This diagram shows the types of wavelengths going from longest to shortest. Image Credit: NASA all the wavelengths of visible and invisible light. Visible light is near the center of the spectrum. "

"the study of linear algebra, the theory and practice of analyzing linear relations and their behavior under linear transformations. Practically every modern technology relies on linear algebra: simplifying the computations required for internet searches, 3-D animation, coordination of safety systems, financial trading, air traffic control, and everything in between. Five major topics are addressed: linear systems of equations, vector spaces, matrices and linear transformations, determinants, similarity, and eigenvalues. This free course may be completed online at any time."

"The Journal of Youths in Science (JOURNYS) is a completely student-run science publication featuring original research, reviews, and op-eds from youths under age 20. Unlike most science magazines, JOURNYS provides the unique opportunity for students, themselves, to get published. Filling the gap between professional science journals and magazines written for younger children, JOURNYS allows student authors to expand their existing knowledge and readers to gain appealing and useful insights from their peers."

The Journal of Emerging Investigators is an open-access journal that publishes original research written by middle and high school students in biological and physical science. JEI provides students, under the guidance of a teacher or advisor, the opportunity to submit and gain feedback on original research and to publish their findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Because grade-school students often lack access to formal research institutions, we expect that the work submitted by students may come from classroom-based projects, science fair projects, or other forms of mentor-supervised research.
