Bill Nye the Science Guy Sun spots, dark areas on the sun, are cooler than the rest of the sun's surface? Search Printable One Sheets PDF Download Instructions: 50 Really Cool Online Tools for Science Teachers A 21st-century education revolves around the Internet for everything from collaboration, tools, lessons, and even earning degrees online. If you are looking for ways to integrate online learning into your science class or science degree programs, then take a look at these cool online tools that are just perfect for both teachers and students. Science Tools to Use with Students CREST Awards (11-19 yrs) CREST is a UK award scheme recognising success,building skills and demonstrating personalachievement in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) project work. UCAS endorse CREST Awards for inclusion in students’ personal statements – they’re well regarded, high-quality and a tangible recognition of success. Last year alone, over 30,000 CREST Awards were undertaken – giving 11-19yr olds opportunities to explore real-world projects in an exciting way.

KQED Public Media for Northern CA Powerful Genetic Test Prevents Paternity Mix-Up A couple who used a fertility clinic to conceive was ready to sue when the child’s blood type didn’t match up with mom and dad’s. Obviously the clinic had used the wrong sperm or made some other awful mistake.

Enseñanza de las Ciencias Naturales: Clasificación de los movimientos Si los clasificamos por su forma podemos encontrar movimientos Simples como el movimiento rectilíneo o el movimiento circular y los movimientos Compuestos como el Parabólico el Elíptico o el Hiperbólico. Si los clasificamos por sus leyes encontramos los movimientos Uniformes, que mantienen su velocidad constante, los Uniformemente variados, que varían su velocidad en el recorrido de forma retardada o acelerada, los movimientos Periódicos como los ondulatorios y los armónicos, y los movimientos Variables. Si combinamos ambas categorías encontramos que; por ejemplo, el movimiento rectilíneo puede ser uniforme, como en el caso de un tren que va a la misma velocidad en todo su recorrido, o uniformemente variado como una pelota deslizándose por una pendiente.

Science Experiments for Kids" Science experiments for kids explain everyday mysteries like what causes rain, answer questions about form and function, and simplify concepts like symmetry and capillary action. They're fun, they're fascinating, and they're a great way to spend time indoors on a cold or rainy day. Forget beakers and Bunsen burners, exploding chemicals and complex instructions. 6 Virtual Tours Of The Human Body For Free Interactive Anatomy Lessons When it comes to interactive virtual views, we have gone to space and around the globe. So, it’s not surprising that we are also going within ourselves on a virtual journey of the human body. One of the finest tools available online is Visible Body. Unfortunately, it’s not free anymore. But you can see the beauty of it thanks to the free demo that allows you to explore the head and neck. If you are disappointed that there aren’t any free interactive anatomy tools, worry not.

Physics Flash Animations We have been increasingly using Flash animations for illustrating Physics content. This page provides access to those animations which may be of general interest. The animations will appear in a separate window. Make Crystal Creations" You can make crystal creations as an easy science experiment for kids. Dip decorations and paper sculptures in a crystal solution, and watch them crystallize overnight!

Note that an adult needs to help kids throughout this activity. Newton's Laws of Motion The motion of an aircraft through the air can be explained and described by physical principals discovered over 300 years ago by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. He developed the theories of gravitation in 1666, when he was only 23 years old. Some twenty years later, in 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis." The laws are shown above, and the application of these laws to aerodynamics are given on separate slides.
