"The Discovery Center Science Programs address specific State Science Standards and can be applied to a range of grade levels. In each session, the students themselves will be active participants in performing experiments, discovering the reality behind the science and learning how it can be used to impact their own lives. Each of these programs model one 45 minute classroom period of an inquiry-based series of lessons and all use simple, inexpensive and easy to obtain materials."

"The New England Air Museum inspires students of all ages through innovative and hands-on education programs in support of Connecticut's frameworks for science, history and technology. These lessons and activities can be delivered independently or to supplement a visit to the New England Air Museum. Hands-on Build and Fly activities spark the imagination, challenge the inquisitive mind, and can serve as an engaging anticipatory setting for further study in science, history and technology. "

"The PT6 engine offers unrivalled versatility, durability and reliability, and it's no wonder. The engine was first developed more than 50 years ago, and since then Pratt & Whitney Canada has created more than 130 applications for business, commuter, utility and trainer aircraft and helicopters. In its long and illustrious history, the PT6 engine has logged more than 350 million hours of flight."

"Recognizing that the cost of learning to fly can pose a significant barrier for some student pilots, AOPA earlier this year established two $5,000 flight training scholarships-the AOPA Flight Training Scholarship and the Erral Lea Plymate Memorial Scholarship. In addition, Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) and Jeppesen-two of the world's leading providers of flight training materials-approached AOPA to provide scholarship funds as well. To qualify, applicants had to hold a student pilot certificate but not yet a pilot certificate, complete an online application, and receive two recommendations."

women of aerobatic flying. Women like Patty Wagstaff, U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and inductee to the National Aviation Hall of Fame, Betty Skelton-Frankman, the U.S. Feminine Aerobatic Champion in 1948, 1949 and 1950.

"I fly because every time I get in my airplane I am pushing myself to become a better version of myself. Flying requires you to be a good listener, detail-oriented, and build a value system which is constantly requiring you to evaluate your skill and accept constructive criticism from others. It has built faith in myself and has allowed me to listen to that voice inside which says this is a blast and shows me what I am capable of. I want to be that encourager of other girls and women who think that aviation is something that could be fun to be a part of but never give it a second thought."

"The Glean ComboCoin tool provides multiple levels of problem difficultly and works with classrooms at various grade levels. It's a fun tool to integrate with your teaching of fundamental--and typically serious--multiplication skills, including the distributive and associative properties of multiplication. Lesson Ideas and Classroom Activities: ComboCoin Jeopardy - large group (with a projector): Have students work individually or in teams to come up with combinations as quickly as possible. When they have a combination, they raise their hands and enter it into the ComboCoin game board. Each time a team finds a new combination, they receive a point."

"The 2012 National STEM Video Game Challenge will be launched in partnership with Digital Promise, a new initiative created by the President and Congress, supported through the Department of Education. The initiative is designed to unlock the promise of breakthrough technologies to transform teaching and learning."

"One of the biggest challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering, and math is capturing the students' imaginations long enough for them to see all of the possibilities that lie ahead," the company wrote on the Learn with Portals site. "Using interactive tools like the Portal series to draw them in makes physics, math, logic, spatial reasoning, probability, and problem-solving interesting, cool, and fun, which gets us one step closer to our goal-engaged, thoughtful kids!"

"it is a powerful resource, very simple to use and available for students to use at home. Several new features have been added"

"Welcome to the Desmos Calculator! Use this calculator for graphing, for calculating, for sharing, for creating. Look on the right for help or inspiration. "

Hercules and the Four Horsemen Filmed in 1960 - The Four Horsemen were the world's only four engine per aircraft demonstration team. Flying four C-130As in close formation, the team would perform a number of maneuvers over a twenty-three minute airshow that closed with a bomb burst -- or as the team called it, Horseman Burst. The show was performed at an altitude of 500 to 1,000 feet.

" to design and develop well-engineered assessment tools to support US schools in implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS). Tools for formative and summative assessment that make knowledge and reasoning visible, and help teachers to guide students in how to improve, and monitor their progress. These tools comprise: * Lesson Units for Formative Assessment: some focused on math concepts, others on non-routine problem solving - 20 per grade for Grades 7-12. * Professional Development Modules: to help teachers with the new pedagogical challenges that formative assessment presents. * Summative Assessment Task Collection: to illustrate the range of performance goals required by CCSS. * Prototype Summative Tests: designed to help teachers and students monitor their progress, these tests provide a model for examinations that may replace or complement current US tests."

"With Glean PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally), we present a math learning environment to help teachers extend students' understanding of order of operations concepts. Glean PEMDAS can be used to introduce Order of Operations, and is best applied to critical application of order. Critical application of Order of Operations moves beyond understanding how operations are applied to understanding what happens when operations within an expression are done in a different order. This process adds flexibility to how students think about number and operations, which is important with the introduction of algebra. "
