Science teachers

"Police and other emergency services were called to the school on Narellan Road, Moss Vale, about 1pm (AEST) on Tuesday. Eleven students and a teacher suffered minor injuries after a glass flask containing sodium hydroxide exploded in the science lab."

"I'm as happy as anyone that the Curiosity rover got to Mars; it's hard not to barrack for all those NASA geeks in their blue polo shirts. But before you get all apple pie about the achievement, there's something you should know: Curiosity runs on plutonium from a Soviet-era nuclear weapons plant."

Map of Physics .. very cute :-)

"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."

"Visualize in real-time the frequencies that you can hear around you and even those you cannot. The SpectrumView analyser provides a high quality real-time spectrogram and spectrum analyser display with configurable sample rate and frequency resolution for the iPhone and iPad.  You can use this application to measure the highest tones you can sing, to find the source of an annoying sound, for calibrating musical instruments or generally for all sorts of acoustic analysis. "

"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." "

"In the whole history of space exploration, I've never seen something like this visualization (below). It's a look back at the past 50 years of space exploration… visualized in one single image. It's incredibly detailed so you're going to have to click on the image and then zoom in, pan around, etc. "

As you know, teachers know everything. But there are some mere mortals out there who still need to ask questions. This is a fabulous site with over 80 specialist areas to ask questions to the cloud. The community will then help you find an answer. The areas include English and other languages, computing, maths, science, history and much more. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Cross+Curricular
