Science Lab-Experiments & projects to do at home or in the classroom The SEED Science Center is a public place where Schlumberger scientists and engineers share their knowledge and experience with learners and teachers from around the world. The web site is organized into six areas: In Science Watch you will find articles on various topics in science and engineering. They are grouped into categories: * Earth Watch is about geology, geophysics, and other earth sciences. * People In Motion has tales of traveling to remote and interesting places around the world. * Sports & Science highlights well-known and some not so well-known sports, often with insights into the underlying science of the games. * Inventing Our World is about the things we design and build. * Air & Space Watch explores the sky and in the rest of the Universe. Science Lab has hands-on and virtual experiments that you can do at home or in school, and collaborative projects that you may participate in. Many of these activities are related to concepts and topics presented in Science Watch articles. The Science Lab is divided into several areas: * Earth Science * Air & Space * Electricity & Magnetism * Properties of Liquids * Math Puzzle of the Month * Engineering Challenge

" Web 2.0 (as presented in a Flowgram) January 17, 2009 by Paul Hamilton One of the many powerful and impressive resources waiting in the "cue" for me to test and write about is Flowgram. As I was exploring possibilities, I came across one of the very best overviews I've seen to date about the Read-Write Web. So today, I'm simply going to embed this marvelous example of a Flowgram. My post about the application will have to wait for another day. Thanks to M. Seifman of Miami Valley Career Technology Center for this excellent presentation. If you wish to view a full screen version of the flowgram, click on the large blue button marked "Player" in the bottom right corner. AddThis Posted in 1 | Tagged flowgram, M. Seifman, Miami Valley Career Technology Center, Read-Write Web, Web 2.0 | 2 Comments » SqoolTube (Online Resource) January 14, 2009 by Paul Hamilton Youtube has become a vast treasure trove of engaging resources that can be used to great effect in the classroom. There are two major challenges, however, when it comes to using these resources. The first challenge is the time-consuming task of finding exactly what you need. The second challenge arises from the sad reality that Youtube is actually blocked in far too many schools. Here's a resource that helps on both counts. SqoolTube has searched and catalogued an extremely valuable collection of Youtube videos that support learning at the elementary or primary school level (K-8). These videos are then passed along from the SqoolTube URL, so unless a school or school district is excessively restrictive, it is unlikely that these videos will be blocked. Videos are categorized by subject area (math, music, reading & communication, safety, science, science, Spanish, social studies). There are also three other headings: Book-Related; Early Childhood; Holidays. I especially like some of the video versions of children's books that are available." comment by Paul Hamilton

Wordle is a toy for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
