"This tutorial introduces children, ages 7-9, to the concept of online privacy and teaches them to distinguish between information that is appropriate to give out and information better kept private - and to recognize how this may change in different contexts."

build. test, explore electric circuits

"learn about the various uses of science in sport."

"The science articles in Science Made Simple help kids learn science the easy, hands-on way. Also included are fun science projects & great experiments using stuff you can find around the house. "

"NASA dreams big science. In this awesome new short, NASA presents the Earth, the planets, the Sun, and the endless universe beyond. Come for the cool, stay for the music, take away a sense of wonder to share. It's six minutes from Earth to forever, and you can see it here!"

"Deputy Project Manager Sandra Cauffman talks about her work on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolunioN (MAVEN) mission and her career at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. This video is the first of a two-part Spanish-language series. Closed captions in English."

"Vernier LabQuest 2 is a standalone interface used to collect sensor data with its built-in graphing and analysis application. The large, high-resolution touch screen makes it easy and intuitive to collect, analyze, and share data from experiments. Its wireless connectivity encourages collaboration and personalized learning. You can also use LabQuest 2 as a computer interface using Logger Pro software for advanced analysis and video features. "

"Collect Once, Analyze Anywhere The Connected Science System is a networked collection of technology that supports hands-on, collaborative learning with individualized accountability. The wireless capabilities of LabQuest 2 provide unprecedented tools for collecting and analyzing data on mobile devices and iPads®, remotely viewing and controlling LabQuest 2 with a computer, and emailing sensor data and graphs for later analysis at home. "

"The video of the very first moon landing of the apollo 11 mission in 1969! Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon with his now legenday words "One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind." This is a truly amazing video and it was in 1969!!! If you think about it, you have orders of magnitude more processing power in your mobile phone than they did in the whole space craft!! Incredible!"

"the factors that determine which "someday" entrepreneurs will actually become business owners, and which will continue to say "I wish" for years to come. Surprisingly, the ability to take the plunge has a lot less to do with people's personalities, and a lot more to do with how accessible and familiar the experience of entrepreneurship is to them. Those who can picture themselves running a business often do."

"Skype Unites Classrooms for STEM Learning When two high schools 37 miles apart wanted to team up to build robots, they turned to the cloud to facilitate communication, save time, and reduce costs. They got a whole lot more than they bargained for."

"videos demonstrating SynthNet in action have been posted to YouTube! In the first clip, I demonstrate growing a brain from virtual DNA, hooking into my Lego robotic buddy Bit, and then conditioning Bit to associate hearing a tone with getting his touch sensor pressed. The demonstration is a recreation of classic fear conditioning experiments."

Remote Sensing Math Educator Guide -- Grades 3-12 This guide is a complete study for remote sensing and mathematical models. Each lesson in this guide is a supplement for teaching mathematical topics. The problems can be used to enhance understanding of the mathematical concept or as an assessment of student mastery. Each word problem includes background information and teachers' answer keys.

Space Math VII Educator Guide -- Grades 3-12 This collection of activities are intended for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science. The problems deal with modern science and engineering issues, often involving actual research data. Each word problem includes background information and teachers' answer keys.

Solar System Magnetism Demonstration -- Grades 5-8 The big idea of this demonstration is that the sun and Earth have different magnetic properties. Sunspots are related to magnetism on the sun. Earth has a strong simple magnetic field with two poles. The educator builds the magnetic fields using polystyrene spheres, strong magnets and staples. Then the participants make "field detectors" from simple objects to predict the locations of the fields.

Astrobiology Math Educator Guide -- Grades 6-12 This collection of activities is intended for students looking for additional challenges in the mathematics and physical science curriculum in grades 6-12. The problems deal with modern science and engineering issues, often involving actual research data. Each word problem includes background information and teachers' answer keys.

Supernova Remnant SNR 0509 Lithograph -- Grades 11-12 The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of what appears to be a delicate bubble of gas floating in space. The bubble is the visible remnant of a powerful stellar explosion that took place in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy about 160,000 light-years from Earth. The image of the supernova remnant is on the first page of the lithograph, and background information is on the second page. The lithograph includes a Level One Inquiry activity entitled "In Search of ... Supernova Remnants" in which students research supernovae and dispel misconceptions of the life cycle of stars.
