Competition Eligibility Rules and Requirements - ExploraVision Each category will be judged separately, based on the abilities of students in those grades. Students in a lower grade may be part of a team competing in the next-higher category. However, students may not move down to a lower grade-level category. ExploraVision has four categories: Primary Level (Grades K – 3) Upper Elementary Level (Grades 4 – 6) Middle Level (Grades 7 – 9) High School Level (Grades 10 – 12) Each student may only submit one project per year.

MASTER Tools Modeling And Simulation Tools for Education Reform MASTER Tools, developed by The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. are the result of on-going collaborations with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), George Mason University, and other education organizations. They are designed to be interactive tools and simulation environments that enable and encourage exploration and discovery through observation, conjecture, and modeling activities. Our growing portfolio of MASTER tools will soon be fully integrated with new collaboration tools and online research facilities to create an authentic scientific experience. Instructional materials are currently available for GalaxSee, SimSurface, and the Fractal Microscope. If you come across a model which does not function properly, please email us and let us know which models you are having trouble running.
Learn How Flocabulary Works Writing is a critical part of the learning process and is supported by research and standards, from Bloom's Taxonomy to the Common Core. When students write their own academic rhymes, they build essential writing skills and master content. Oh, and did we mention it’s fun? Explore our Writing Academic Rhymes lessons.

What Recent Scientific Discoveries Could Change the World The number of scientific studies and discoveries each day is staggering: On March 17 of this year, scientists discovered rippling patterns in thermal radiation, which might be evidence for the Big Bang; they discovered a glacier in Greenland melting faster than expected, forcing revised estimates of global sea level rise; and a terrestrial ecologist revived moss specimens that had been frozen for more than 1,500 years. And what about today? What new information means very little outside of a very specific field, and what will crack a staid category wide open? It took 20 years and 2.2 miles of drilling, but Russian researchers finally reached Lake Vostok in February 2012. Fracking opponents might finally have their smoking gun: A study by the Colorado School of Public Health released this January linked living near a fracking site to increased risk of congenital heart disease in children by up to 30 percent. We’re telling stories all week on the theme of booms and busts.
Foldit Solve Puzzles for Science Exploratorium: the museum of science, art and human perception How the Physics of Football Works" When you throw a football across the yard to your friend, you are using physics. You make adjustments for all the factors, such as distance, wind and the weight of the ball. The farther away your friend is, the harder you have to throw the ball, or the steeper the angle of your throw. This adjustment is done in your head, and it's physics -- you just don't call it that because it comes so naturally. Physics is the branch of science that deals with the physical world. Delivery of a football through the airRunners on the fieldStopping runners on the field Watching a weekend football game could be teaching you something other than who threw the most passes or gained the most yards.
