"The Middle School Portal 2: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2) project supports middle grades educators with high-quality, standards-based resources and promotes collaboration and knowledge-sharing among its users. Educators use MSP2 to increase content knowledge in science, mathematics, and appropriate pedagogy for youth ages 10 to 15. MSP2 employs social networking and digital tools to foster dynamic experiences that promote creation, modification, and sharing of resources, facilitate professional development, and support the integration of technology into practice."

"mathematics. It is every bit as mind blowing as cosmology or physics (mathematicians conceived of black holes long before astronomers actually found any), and allows more freedom of expression than poetry, art, or music (which depend heavily on properties of the physical universe). Mathematics is the purest of the arts, as well as the most misunderstood. http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf Please read this long but enjoyable and very thought provoking essay from Paul Lockhart - it will change your idea of what education should be."

A guide to engineering for high school girls (and boys)

This site is designed specifically for middle school girls to see all the applications and benefits of an engineering degree.

"how to make the subject of Mathematics an interesting and relevant topic for kids. Now, Nokia's mobile maths project appears to have found a winning solution. The project, which is now in its third year of existence, has gathered evidence that overwhelmingly points to successful uptake and ownership by local learners who indicate a newly acquired enthusiasm and enjoyment of Maths. "

"A group of students at Chevak High School, located on the remote Alaskan tundra, worked together over the winter to build a Rans S-6s Coyote II experimental aircraft from a kit, and flew it for the first time on March 24. "The aircraft was beautifully built and was obviously the pride of the aeronautics class at the school," John Davis, a Designated Airworthiness Representative who flew in from Anchorage to inspect the airplane, told the Alaska Dispatch."

links to everything educational - seems like it anyway. Very extensive web resource

"FHSST Guide to Learning FHSST Volunteers We wrote a short guide to help learners get organised about their notes, studying and what to do in class because we found out that many weren't receiving any study advice. This guide has very simple ideas that can be implemented at almost any grade level. "

Copy, modify, adapt, enhance, share, critique, adore and contextualise. Do it all! Do it with your colleagues, your friends, or alone but get involved! Together we can overcome the challenges our complex and diverse country presents.

Duxford Spitfire and P-51 Taken at Duxford RAF and USAAC Museum in England. Two of the greatest WWII fighter planes of their era....the American P51 Mustang and the British Supermarine Spitfire. Both planes were powered by the powerful Rolls Royce Merlin engine......which emitted that wonderful sound that became known to many as 'The Sound of Freedom' during the 1940s. Such memories for those of us who were around at the time. P-51 pilot does a great job staying in his position as he has more power and is faster than the spitfire. they must have done a bit of practicing.
