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

"Elements 114 and 116 have been officially added to the periodic table, becoming its heaviest members yet. They both exist for less than a second before decaying into lighter atoms, but they bring researchers a step closer to making even heavier elements that are predicted to be stable for decades or longer, forming a fabled "island of stability" in the periodic table."

"neurons came in such a beautiful diversity of shapes. Each of these neurons has a different function, too: A. Purkinje cell B. Granule cell C. Motor neuron D. Tripolar neuron E. Pyramidal Cell F. Chandelier cell G. Spindle neuron H. Stellate cell."

"Neurons-the electrically excitable cells that make up the brain and nervous system-first fascinated me in high school. In college, like so many other students studying the brain, I dutifully memorized the structure of the archetypal neuron. I also remember learning about a few different types of neurons with different shapes and functions: motor neurons that make muscles twitch, for example, and unique sensory neurons in the eyes and nose."

"The Drop Out! It was seriously addictive, we just couldn't put it down! "The Furrie little creatures are stuck and they need help! Grab a Boo in this thrilling physics world and drop them to safety but beware the Evil Furries have a plan of their own.""

"sample project. It addresses the question,"What makes a good vice president?""

"toys taught children early lessons in physics, problem solving, and critical thinking. But never fear - there's an app for that! Simple Physics allows these lessons to be brought back into play, by using technology to simulate hands-on experiences."

"Solar Walk pieces together each planet in real time and real location to give a fully accurate view of where things are, where things have been and where things are going in space. Simply tap on the planet that you wish to explore closer up."

"beginners to learn programming concepts in a hands-on, non-theoretical way. The app consists of giving instructions to a turtle who moves around the screen trying to capture diamonds. It teaches basic programming concepts through a game type interface. Kids can try out their programs and see them run visually on the screen as the turtle moves about. They can then edit their program to complete the given task"

"The shapes you draw interact with the wheel to make it move. Touch Physics has settings for multiple users so the whole family can give it go."

"you build an intricate bridge, and then destroy it using the physics engine that is built in. This bridge basher app realistically lets you see how your bridge stacks up to forces in real time. "

"using QR Codes. How can we use them? They are an excellent way of directing students to content. Whether the content is a book in the Library, a YouTube video, a seminar room at a given time, it doesn't matter. What matters is working out an appropriate use."

"the word "practices" to "stress that engaging in scientific inquiry requires coordination both of knowledge and skill simultaneously." Even young children can learn science content knowledge, such as "water can exist as a gas, a liquid and a solid", and science skills, such as making observations to find out."
