Why is Student Interactivity in Lessons Essential? - 6 views

  •  
    Learning science and math is normally thought of as committing to memory facts and procedures. Because of this we tend to perceive the best way to teach is through rote memorization of ideas, theories, and models. As a consequence, students experience little opportunity to develop a real understanding of what they are expected learn. Our challenge is to craft strategies which allow student interactivity within lessons. Student involvement beyond memorization is an essential building block for learning science and math.

    "We can all get a little puzzled with time. Sometimes we have no idea where it goes, whereas there are other times when it goes by so fast. Yet one this is for sure…it is going at the same pace, no matter what, and the relationship between time and the cosmos is complex. Understanding the relationship, Cosmic Watch is a unique iPad app that provides an advanced, 3D astronomical time device for the digital age."

Top scientist calls for change to get students interested in science and maths - ABC Ne... - 3 views

  •  
    "No matter how you are reading this story, you can thank science. Whether it is the transmission of data over the internet or just the pixels on the screen, a combination of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is delivering it. The problem is that in Australia, the number of students taking science and mathematics subjects is dwindling - and has been for decades."

Useful Presentation Software Alternatives To Help You Publish Energy Wind/Water Geo Slides - 2 views

  •  
    Think about PowerPoint presentations, and you will probably think of a never ending series of slides. Of course, presentations have become a vital element for all the businesses or industries, and energy segment is not an exception in it. All household items rely on utilities such as electronics, natural gas, water and more. The presentations are a great way to make people understand the significance of energy saving. However, lack of required templates is a major drawback associated with conventional PowerPoint presentations, and this is the reason why many people or organizations associated with energy sector use a variety of mediums to publish energy wind water geo slides. If you're in need of something different that a conventional PowerPoint presentation, then it is time for you to think about other alternatives that can help you publish your energy wind water geo slides on the go.

Human Brain Project - Home - 6 views

  •  
    "Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Modern computing technology has brought these goals within sight. ICT is ready to give us a completely new understanding of the brain and its diseases; understanding the brain will lead inevitably to radical innovation in computing."

Spirogyra - Filamentous Green Algae - YouTube - 3 views

  •  
    "This particular algal species, commonly found in polluted water, is often referred to as "pond scum". As the movie switches to a 20x lens and then the 40x, watch closely, toward the center of each cell in the strand, for the cell nucleus. It's right near the middle and shows as a round object that is near transparent, but once you see it, you will see others. "

MolView - draw a molecule and view it in 2D & 3D - 0 views

  •  
    The user can draw a compound or choose from a selection of compounds from three databases. Once a compound has been selected the user can click the 2D to 3D button to convert the molecule into a 3D model which is then displayed in the viewer, located on the right side of the screen. In addition to the 3D viewer you can also use the app to distinguish between atomic, molecular, and ionic solids by clicking on the crystallography model tab. What I love about this function of the app is that it helps users identify that each type of solid has different structures and patterns.
