Earth Exploration Toolbook Awarded Science Magazine's Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE), September 30, 2011 AAAS Press Release What is the Earth Exploration Toolbook? Developed by teams of scientists and educators, the Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET) is a collection of online Earth system science activities. Within the context of a case study, each chapter guides users through a step-by-step process in which they access data and use analysis tools to explore real issues and questions in Earth system science. Who is it for? Earth Exploration Toolbook chapters are written to the teacher, generally at the secondary and college level. How can I learn more? Come on into the site!

Hangout Quest - A Google+ Game TckTckTck | the Global Campaign for Climate Action About The Amazing Spaghetti Machine Contest ‘Spaghetti machine’ — the Italian term for an overly complex machine or device that is used to perform a relatively simple task. Coordinated by the Melbourne School of Engineering, The Amazing Spaghetti Machine Contest was launched in 2011 as part of the School’s 150th anniversary celebrations. The annual competition is open to year 10 students in Victoria, who put their knowledge and skills in maths, science, engineering, and project management to the test in the creation of a ‘spaghetti machine’ — an overly complex machine or device that is used to perform a relatively simple task. To see this in action, visit our Spaghetti Workshop page. Check out the contest rules, schedule, and how to enter pages for more info about this year’s event! Engineering and Spaghetti So if you’re building a machine that’s overly complex and therefore somewhat inefficient, what does it have to do with engineering (which is all about finding the most practical and efficient way to solve a problem)?

A History of Climate Science Skeptical Science takes a different approach to Naomi Oreskes' Science paper who sorted her papers into "explicit endorsement of the consensus position", "rejection of the consensus position" and everything else (neutral). In this case, the backbone of our site is our list of climate myths. Whenever a climate link is added to our database, it is matched to any relevant climate myths. Therefore, each link is assigned "skeptic", "neutral" or "proAGW" whether it confirms or refutes the climate myth. This means a skeptic paper doesn't necessarily "reject the consensus position" that humans are causing global warming. There are a large number of neutral papers. So yes, categorisation can get a little complicated and I expect there will continue to be discussion on the issue of classification.
