Early Elementary Science Curriculum - K-2 Interactive Science Program School:Mathematics Welcome to the School of Mathematics! The Lorenz attractor is a chaotic map, noted for its butterfly shape. The map shows how the state of a dynamical system evolves over time in a complex, non-repeating pattern. The attractor itself, and the equations from which it is derived, were introduced by Edward Lorenz in 1963, who derived it from the simplified equations of convection rolls arising in the equations of the atmosphere. Since you're here, you either are someone wishing to share your knowledge of Mathematics, or you are someone who wishes to gain knowledge about Mathematics. If you are the first kind of person, have a look around, and see how you can contribute. Mathematics has many facets; though it has a wealth of applications, Mathematics is also a science, and an art, in its own right. The School of Mathematics is a work in progress. The School of Mathematics wishes you a very warm welcome. Divisions and departments[edit] Mathematics curriculum[edit] Study guides[edit]
Animal Web Cams at the National Zoo The National Zoo is home to 2,000 individual animals of nearly 400 different species. Our best known residents are our giant pandas, but great apes, big cats, Asian elephants, birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, aquatic animals, small mammals, and many others can be found at the Zoo. You can take a virtual visit to the Zoo any day of the week by tuning into our live web cams, which feature many of the Zoo's animals. Watching Asian small-clawed otters: A family of otters, parents and offspring, live on Asia Trail. Watching clouded leopards at the Zoo: Clouded leopards live at Asia Trail. Watching clouded leopards at the Zoo's Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia: The cam features a male and female that were paired at a young age to create a bonded pair for future breeding. Watching fishing cats: Fishing cats live at Asia Trail. Watching lions: The Zoo is home to male and female lions. Naked mole-what? Watching apes: Several orangutans live at the Zoo.

Khan Academy Deep Below Antarctic Ice, Lake May Soon See Light hide captionWhile a team of Russian scientists were drilling ice core samples from their Vostok base in Antarctica, new satellite imagery revealed the outline of a lake the size of New Jersey buried two miles underneath the ice. Scientists have been drilling through the ice and are now just 100 feet away from breaking into the third largest lake on the planet. Earth Observatory/NASA Russian scientists are on the verge of punching a hole into a vast Antarctic lake that's buried under more than two miles of ice. If the Russians break through, they may tap into and disturb a primitive and pristine ecosystem that has been untouched for millions of years. Lake Vostok is actually the third largest lake in the world, measured by the amount of water it holds. In fact, they had no idea there was a lake there when they built their Vostok camp more than 50 years ago. "The Russians went to the magnetic South Pole in 1958 because they missed the race to the rotational South Pole," Bell says.
