"As winter approaches, it's easy to forget that parts of the planet rarely rise above the freezing mark. These icy outposts often hold vast deposits of oil, gas, and minerals. They also present challenges for cold-region engineers, such as the effect of low temperatures on construction materials or how to keep pipelines flowing. Your designers will warm up to cryogenics with this month's activity. See if any need mittens! "

" PATH (Pilots And Teachers Handbook) materials, said Katie Pribyl, vice president of communications. The free PATH Handbook includes 11 modules for middle-school-aged students, along with worksheets, exercises, quizzes, and learning objectives on topics such as weight and balance, flight controls, weather, and aviation history. It can be ordered from AOPA or downloaded free of charge. Pribyl said. Supplemental materials are available for other age groups, including connect-the-dots puzzles for kindergarten through third grade and an aviation career guide for those in grades 9 through 12."

"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."
