Science teachers

"Preparing the students of today to become productive citizens of the future requires our educational system to promote life-long learners who are able to work together to solve realistic problems and develop a basic understanding of the natural and humanly modified world around them. Information presented in a familiar and mind-engaging context leads to greater understanding and retention, as compared to memorization of facts in isolation. Research indicates that retention is greatest when students are actively engaged, put their knowledge into immediate practice, and become "teachers" of other students. Children's Engineering activities directly address these issues."

A description of how students can build a spectroscope.

"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. "

"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.
