Science enrichment. Fracking Is Pretty Hard To Understand — Until It Isn't. The Science Spot. Mrs. Deringer - Life - Scientific Method. Here are the Steps to the Scientific Method Problem: Is the question you are trying to solve. It is always written as a QUESTION and therefore ends with a question mark. (?) Background Information: Collect information about the question. Conduct research.

This will help you make a hypothesis. Hypothesis: An educated guess, you have made according to the background information you have collected through research. Materials: All the supplies you need to set up the experiment. Procedure: The steps you will follow to complete the experiment. Independent variable: The one thing that you are testing. Constants: All the things that you keep the same between the experimental and control group. Observations: The information you collect by conducting the experiment. Conclusion:A possible answer to the problem. Great Tools To Teach about Human Body in 3D. Technology has radically transformed the way education is being delivered. It has also revolutionized the way students learn and created new learning styles that never existed before ( mobile learning, flipped learning, virtual learning, simulated learning, to mention but some ).

Much of the human knowledge is now online and anyone with the right tools can access and use it .This democratization of knowledge has definitely improved the quality of education and increased the rates of all kinds of literacies from the digital literacy to the critical one. One of the best examples of how technology revolutionized education is manifested in the field of biology and science. There are now several web tools to help teachers carry out those " dirty " experiments that used to be done in labs now they can be done virtually and in a simulated environment way better than the real one. 1- Zygote Body 2- Med Tropolis 3- Get Body Smart 4- Inner Body 5- Body Maps 6- The Biodigital Human.

STEM Behind Hollywood by Texas Instruments. Scientists and experts who consult on Hollywood films and TV worked alongside leading math and science educators to create free classroom activities for TI-Nspire CX™ handhelds, TI-Nspire™ Teacher and Student Software, and TI-Nspire™ Apps for iPad. These activities center around the math and science behind Hollywood themes like zombies, superheroes, space and forensics, and they give students the chance to solve problems just like real-life scientists using the concepts behind their favorite movies and TV shows. TI’s STEM education advocate Her role as one of TV’s most endearing nerds — Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory — is hardly a stretch for TI’s brand ambassador, the Emmy-nominated actress Mayim Bialik.

“STEM Behind Hollywood introduces students to what it looks and feels like to be a scientist. Like her Big Bang Theory character, Mayim holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience, is fluent in the language of science and understands its critical concepts inside and out.

This tool gives students a hands-on, forensics style of learning about rocks and minerals while: Providing information about usage and location of given rocks and minerals. Enabling students to manipulate and magnify the specimens to observe structure, luster, texture, and color. Allowing students to view streak, fracture, hardness and more tests in order to compare the properties of various rocks and minerals. Enabling students to record observations and export data so that it can be submitted to their teacher. Take a peek under the rock and experience our Lab Investigator: Rocks and Minerals for yourself, and see a video about how this tool came to life!

A Slower Speed of Light. Download the latest beta releases A Slower Speed of Light is a first-person game prototype in which players navigate a 3D space while picking up orbs that reduce the speed of light in increments. Custom-built, open-source relativistic graphics code allows the speed of light in the game to approach the player’s own maximum walking speed.

Visual effects of special relativity gradually become apparent to the player, increasing the challenge of gameplay. Download our PowerPoint presentation about the relativistic effects in the game: PPT PPTX OpenRelativity A Slower Speed of Light was created using OpenRelativity, an open-source toolkit for the Unity game development environment. Requirements A Slower Speed of Light has been tested on computers with the configurations listed below. Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 or Core i7 (2.8GHz clock speed)Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or higher, and Linux (Ubuntu 13)AMD Radeon HD 6970M/AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4850/Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT8GB RAM Posters.
