LHC - Collider. Copernicus -vs- The Science Of THOR! I never would have guessed there would be so much science (and astronomy in particular) in THOR.

Copernicus -vs- The Science Of THOR!

And I was further astonished to find out that I know two of the science advisers on the film. Not only, that, but they had a great experience and were actually listened to and helped improve the film. So this week, in addition to my usual shameless self-promotion of my TV show, KNOWN UNIVERSE, I thought I’d tackle the Science of Thor! As a comic book, Thor exists in the realm of imagination and legend. Different worlds are parts of a magic tree, populated by immortals, frost giants, and serpents, and bridged by rainbows. But a direct translation of the full operatic, color-saturated glory of the comic page to film often goes off the rails, because while in comics the reader is helping with his or her imagination, movies are a medium much closer to the real world. In preparation for this article, I talked to the two of them I already knew: Sean Carroll and Jim Hartle. Notice those nebulae. The Slow Mo Guys. Geek Central - Home.

Bioluminescent art: Beautiful bacteria glow in the dark. What do you get when you add a chemical engineer, a graphic designer and a research scientist?

Bioluminescent art: Beautiful bacteria glow in the dark

Beautiful art. In a wondrous combination of nature and design, bioluminescent art involves using naturally glowing bacteria to create intricate and deliberate formations only visible when the lights are out. These three came together to create "BIOGLYPHS," a collaborative gallery at Montana State University-Bozeman. Amazing Resonance Experiment! Junior Chemistry with Chemguy.

In addition, they’re great places to store loose science items you might already have around the house, like magnets or magnifying glasses. I’ll list how much some of the ingredients/stuff cost me at Target. In a single shopping trip, it’s easy to fill a plastic bin with enough supplies to do a number of science experiments (with a few last-minute additions from around the kitchen, like dish soap and milk.) The other morning, I talked about making your own science kit on Kare11 Sunrise. Pair your kit up with KidScience app for iPhones and iPods, and watch your kid turn your kitchen table into a science lab! I’ll list some “ingredients” for science kits and link directly to the experiments in blue (just click on the experiment name.)

Dozens of fun ways to teach about the Periodic Table of Elements - Mankato Homeschooling. One of the great things about homeschooling today is that there are so many creative ways to teach.

Dozens of fun ways to teach about the Periodic Table of Elements - Mankato Homeschooling

The days are long past when we could only use dry books and posters to teach about the Periodic Table of Elements. Here's some great ways to teach them. The Periodic Table: Elements with Style! This Basher book is as good as the rest in the fun book series. Each element is an anime-style character that talks about itself and what makes it special. The Periodic Table Game This fun game is a free download from the fabulous Ellen McHenry's Basement Workshop: Isaac Newton vs. Rube Goldberg. Red Bull Kluge: An athlete-powered machine. Symphony of Science. Science Fair Project Ideas, Answers, & Tools. Scientific American: Bring Science Home. Hunting the Elements. PBS Airdate: April 4, 2012 DAVID POGUE (Technology Guru): Why do bombs go boom?

Hunting the Elements

You have created fire! I could feel that puppy! How much gold is in 400 tons of dirt? MIKE LASSITER (Refinery Supervisor, Barrick Gold Corporation): There's about a million and a half dollars there. DAVID POGUE: Oh, man! Watch out with the hammer. LAWRENCE L. DAVID POGUE: We live in a world of incredible material variety. Yet everything we know, the stars, the planets and life, itself, comes from about 90 basic building blocks,… You have a periodic table table. …all right here, on this remarkable chart: the periodic table of the elements. It's a story that begins with the Big Bang and eventually leads to us. Manganese!

And we're made, almost entirely, of just a handful of ingredients, including one that burns with secret fire inside us all. Join me as I explore the basic building blocks of the universe… Oh! LINDSAY BAKER (Gatorade Sports Science Institute): …as hard as you can. …poisonous gases,… Isn't chlorine deadly? Amazing Rust.com - Hot Ice. Hot Ice The picture to the left depicts pillars of Sodium Acetate Trihydrate which were created using Hot Ice solution. Supersaturated solutions of Sodium Acetate are used in certain types of hand-warmers. When a metallic button is pressed inside a plastic pouch, the supersaturated solution begins to crystallize, in the process releasing heat.
