"Researchers have ruled out climate change as the cause of extinction of most of Australia's giant animals, including giant kangaroos, three metre-tall flightless birds and the Tasmanian tiger, around 50,000 years ago."

"Recreating extinct species using DNA may become feasible, but it won't resolve our fraught relationship with our environment, warns writer Frank Swain"

"Andrew Vanden Heuvel has a little too much fun looking at mirrors with his Google Glass."

"Learn how some animals eat other plants and animals to survive and create a food chain, with this interactive lesson plan."

"This is a short CGI animation. A mouse eats the grass and a bird eats the mouse. On the top of the food chain there are only the strongest and the biggest. Or are they? Music by: Johann Strauss, Rossini."

"We humans do like to insist that we have free will, and that whatever we choose to do is entirely our own decision. But about one third of us are infected with a certain parasite. Usually, if you're not pregnant or immunocompromised, this infection does not cause too many problems. But sometimes, this infection can change your normal behavior, and even increase the chances of schizophrenia and suicide."

There is a lot of cool Astronomy stuff going on at the moment and definitely time I filled you in on it all (well some of it anyway!)

Great song

"Here are words that will be helpful to students doing a hands-on science inquiry to view prepared slides of plant and animal cells to identify parts and learn the function of each. They relate their observations to the Essential Question: What are the parts of an animal cell and a plant cell? "

"How to balance chemical equations." - very quick video by a student.

A longer 30 min whiteboard video by a teacher that explains how to balance a chemical equation.

"All of the following tables are in Acrobat PDF format... The following descriptions include a sample element from each periodic table. All of the tables will print on a single 8½ x 11 page, though some may require color to retain their appearance." More tables than you can poke a stick at

"NASA's Spacecraft 3D is an augmented reality (AR) application that lets you learn about and interact with a variety of spacecraft that are used to explore our solar system, study Earth, and observe the universe. Using a printed AR Target and the camera on your mobile device, you can get up close with these robotic explorers, see how they move, and learn about the engineering feats used to expand our knowledge and understanding of space. Spacecraft 3D will be updated over time to include more of the amazing spacecraft that act as our robotic eyes on the earth, the solar system and beyond! "

"Our purpose here at RationalWiki includes: Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement. Documenting the full range of crank ideas. Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism. Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media."

Welcome to the Virtual Cardiology Lab. The focus of this lab is on heritable diseases of the heart. You are cast here as a virtual intern to accompany a doctor examining three different patients. Each patient is examined, using more than one diagnostic tool, and at each stage, the doctor will invite you to examine the patient yourself and ask for your opinion.

"Pittsburgh-based visual artist Nickolay Lamm, who blogs at UK discount site MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, worked with a computational geneticist to illustrate three ways that humans' physical appearances might change to better suit their environments over the next 100,000 years. However, many of these assumptions don't rely on evolution, but rather zygotic genome engineering technology. Scientists in the future might be able to manipulate human features prior to birth."
