"With its rover named Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Curiosity was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's "habitability."

"This video uses working simple machines to demonstrate how to calculate mechanical advantage. Suitable for any school program involving simple machines. Demonstrates pulley systems including a chain block."
"Simple Machines lesson for 3rd grade unit. From Disney's Bill Nye the Science Guy. Levers, pulleys, and wheels. Also clips from Eureka!, a 1980 animated short series from Toronto. Music by John Williams"
"With just one week until Sound Check Australia closes we thought we'd peek into the huge digital vault of data to produce some (non-scientific) early results. Disclaimer:Please note that these early results have not been scientifically validated - they're just a taste of the numbers so far. The really juicy scientific findings will come out after the data is properly validated and analysed."
"Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. Each day the antennas are directed to receive or transmit data to any number of robotic spacecraft exploring our Solar System and beyond - yesterday it was the Mars Curiosity Landing. Thanks to DSS-45 (34-metre) DSS-34 (34-metre) DSS-43 (70-metre). 1080p coming :-)"
A well made flash resource that introduces the features of a forest and our responsibilities to look after them. The resource is generic enough that it is useful for forest locations from around the world.
