In subsequent videos, he lashed together some crude furniture and showed some other useful things that could be made from the material. I was intrigued by the idea. I don’t know that it has much utility for most of us, but as a form of low-tech re-purposing, for survival applications, village tech, and just because it looks kind of fun, I’ve been looking for an easy how-to. This video, posted yesterday on Boing Boing, does just that. While the above rig is very simple, the original Russian design I saw was adjustable (with three different widths of string available for cutting) and was designed so that you could very quickly break down a bottle. After showing you show to make the device, he also demonstrates the strength of the resulting material. 2015 Winners. Xanthe M.

Note: This project can also be done for your local science fair, in addition to, or instead of, the Fluor Challenge.
Objective Build a gravity-powered sorting machine that can separate small and large plastic spheres. Credits Ben Finio, PhD, Science Buddies This project is based on the "Journey of Gold" friendly competition designed by employees of Fluor Corporation located in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

Bubbles! Bubbles! My bubbles! It’s one of the most memorable scenes from Finding Nemo. We also love bubbles at Steve Spangler Science. First, start with a good bubble solution. Glycerin is the true secret to the best bubbles because it keeps the bubble hydrated. Science Toys.
Resources for Assessment in Project-Based Learning. Project-based learning (PBL) demands excellent assessment practices to ensure that all learners are supported in the learning process.
With good assessment practices, PBL can create a culture of excellence for all students and ensure deeper learning for all. We’ve compiled some of the best resources from Edutopia and the web to support your use of assessment in PBL, including information about strategies, advice on how to address the demands of standardized tests, and summaries of the research.
