"Creating presentations and slideshows is one of the needed skills for both teachers and students. Unfortunately many teachers still find it hard to arrange data into a catchy slideshow to share with students. Below is a list of some of the best free tools teachers and students can use to create awesome slideshow and presentations. I have already reviewed all of these tools and therefore attest to their usability."

Using a protractor to measure angles

Numberphile is a quirky exploration of the world of mathematics and numbers. Each video explores strange facts, properties and curious stories about different numbers - from zero to infinity (and a few outside this range). The films feature experts across a range of sciences and are produced by independent video journalist Brady Haran.

"On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in history, flying his Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" 5,810 kilometers (3,610 miles) between Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, and Paris, France, in 33 hours, 30 minutes. With this flight, Lindbergh won the $25,000 prize offered by New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig to the first aviator to fly an aircraft directly across the Atlantic between New York and Paris. When he landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris, Lindbergh became a world hero who would remain in the public eye for decades. "

"There are lots of things to look at in this short clip, but I like The Hulk. What kind of forces would The Hulk exert on the ground during a jump? Before guessing at some of the parameters, let me start with a general case. Here is the jumping Hulk in three positions "

"Matter & Interactions is a textbook by Ruth Chabay and Bruce Sherwood that emphasizes a modern perspective on the calculus-based introductory physics curriculum taken by engineering and science students. It engages students in: Starting analyses from fundamental principles rather than from secondary formulas. Making macro-micro connections, based on the atomic nature of matter."

"With this trick, you'll put a new spin on our famous Density Column demonstration. First, we'll teach you how to make layers of liquid sit on top of each other. This density demonstration looks cool, but what if you could make different objects float in the middle of those cool looking liquids? You'll impress yourself and your friends with what you can do with your Density Tower."

"Sure, there are plenty of apps you can use in education. There are even apps created specifically for use in education. Apple has a whole category dedicated to education in the App store. But how do you really know which ones are worth downloading, or possibly even paying for?"

"Space Garbage: The Dark Cloud Above After decades of space exploration, there are now more than 500,000 pieces of artificial debris greater than half an inch in size."

"Exercises Virtual Bear and Winged Warrior use high tech tools to help Canadian Forces navigate joint operations."

"Essentially, trail formation means one aircraft (or spacecraft in this case), follows directly behind the other. Ebb and Flow, the twins of NASA's GRAIL (Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory) mission, are by no means the first to synch up altitude and "air" speed while zipping over the craters, mountains, hills and rills of Earth's natural satellite. "

APPitic is a directory of apps for education by Apple Distinguished Educators (ADEs) to help you transform teaching and learning. These apps have been tested in a variety of different grade levels, instructional strategies and classroom settings."

"NASA's Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) program (Ebb and Flow), which is creating a high resolution map of the moon's gravitational field, has also captured footage from the dark side of the moon as part of the MoonKAM (Moon Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students) program. MoonKAM will allow US students to study different parts of the lunar surface using imagery from the Ebb and Flow satellites. "
