    "Bench Diaries" is a project in which a woman ties diaries to local park benches, tweets and instagrams their locations, and then waits to see what happens. I wonder what would happen if we tried this in science museums?

Steve Fulton liked it
  • [A naturalist] ought to acquire the habit of writing very copious notes, not all for publication, but as a guide for himself. He ought to remember Bacon's aphorism, that Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man; and no follower of science has greater need of taking precautions to attain accuracy; for the imagination is apt to run riot when dealing with masses of vast dimensions and with time during almost infinity. (p.163)

science learning

shared by Tanya Baker on 22 Jul 13 - No Cached
  • Acquiring these skills wasn’t a matter of armchair learning. It was a process of getting outside, observing and creating a kind of mental scaffolding to organize my observations. I’m a physicist by training, and the process also reminded me that science was about more than laboratories and calculations.
  • the way I viewed the world had palpably changed. The sun looked different, as did the stars. While the ocean didn’t accommodate my “human” need for meaning, a different sense emerged from the wave patterns that conveyed the presence of winds, shoals, coastlines and distant storms.

    This is a beautiful opinion piece from the NY Times that makes an interesting argument about how/why we learn science and science-y things.
