Rader's GEOGRAPHY 4 KIDS.COM The Nine Planets Solar System Tour Baby Beluga, Swim So Wild And Sing For Me hide captionNOC, seen here in an image from an archival video, was recorded in the 1980s making vocalizations that imitated human speech. The findings weren't published until this week. Current Biology NOC, seen here in an image from an archival video, was recorded in the 1980s making vocalizations that imitated human speech. Whales are among the great communicators of the animal world. And one whale in particular has apparently done something that's never been documented before: He imitated human speech. Sounds From The Whale Named NOC Normal White Whale Sounds The beluga, or white whale, is smallish as whales go and very cute, if you're into marine mammals. These sounds are for things like echolocation, like bats use, or for basic communication, as in, "Hello, honey, I'm home." But a white whale at San Diego's National Marine Mammal Foundation did something very different. A curious Ridgway started recording NOC. When NOC was mimicking humans, Ridgway looked inside the whale's nose.

Must Have STEM Tools by edshelf: Reviews & recommendations of tools for education STEM is not only a national priority, but an essential part of a modern workforce. To help your students prepare for the 21st century, teaching an integrated science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum is critical. Fortunately, there are numerous websites and mobile apps that can help. South Carolina math and engineering teacher Chris Beyerle curates the following collection of must-have STEM tools. He includes stalwarts (such as Google Earth and Bill Nye the Science Guy), newer mobile games (such as Vernier Video Physics and Monster Physics), and critical references (such as Pocket Body and goREACT). There is a treasure trove of tools here. Which STEM tools do you use in your classroom? 43 Must Have STEM Tools From edshelf Image attribution flickr user rdecom
