Imagine Education builds rich, story-based math games- learning environments- where students ask questions about math with a natural curiosity that forms their relationship to the subject. Students meet math with authentic purpose, where it is embedded and contextualized in a story coherent with the content, fundamentally creating the foundation to not only math, but learning in general.
InTech is a multidisciplinary Open Access publisher of books and journals covering the fields of Science, Technology and Medicine. Since 2004, we have published more than 400 books with the aim of providing FREE online access to high-quality research, and we are helping leading academics make their work visible and accessible to diverse new audiences around the world.
This is a video describing a scientific process within use of systems and models. The importance of understanding these two components in science and theory is applicable toward gaining better organization. Organization is key when it comes to dissecting elaborate processes and making sense of them in order to come to conclusions from evidence.

THERE is widespread alarm in the United States about the state of our math education. The anxiety can be traced to the poor performance of American students on various international tests, and it is now embodied in George W.
Abstract: This June, the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Molecular Workbench won the Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE) for its contribution as an innovative tool for science education.
Leon Esterowitz began his academic life as an English major because of his love of literature, but found himself drawn into physics, and ultimately a decades-long career in engineering. That career helped guide the development of the first medical lasers and night-vision technology, helped develop novel biophotonic medical diagnostic techniques.
He now guides research on biophotonics - a field of research that uses light to observe and manipulate tissues and cells - for a program he created more than ten years ago for the National Science Foundation.
WorldWideScience.org is a global science gateway-accelerating scientific discovery and progress through a multilateral partnership to enable federated searching of national and international scientific databases and portals.
Interactive education. For every platform. At Desmos, we let all of the devices in the classroom work together - from Interactive Whiteboards, to laptops and tablets, to smartphones. With our software, anyone can build rich content that plays in any browser, on any device.
President Obama's recent declaration of an "all-of-the-above" energy policy during his State of the Union address received many cheers here at Consumer Energy Alliance. For years, our organization has advocated for a balanced energy policy that embraces a "we need it all" approach; focusing on choosing winners and losers in the energy space does little to advance a reasonable policy that allows for affordable energy now and in the future.
As part of its Battery 500 project - an initiative started by IBM in 2009 to produce a battery capable of powering a car for 500 miles - Big Blue has successfully demonstrated a light-weight, ultra-high-density, lithium-air battery. In IBM's lithium-air battery, oxygen is reacted with lithium to create lithium peroxide and electrical energy (pictured above).
