Find out about our education projects and free teaching resources from the links on this page. We also offer opportunities for school and college students to take part in STEM-related research over their summer holidays through our Nuffield Research Placements. Our work in education includes funding research and supporting its translation into policy and practice. Our current focus is in science and mathematics, foundations for learning, and secondary education transitions. In the past, we have worked in other subject areas including D&T, history, and languages, and further information is available on our curriculum projects page. Related:  Ciencias naturales-niños

Science Experiments and STEM Activities for Kids The best science experiments guide for kids ages 3-9. This is YOUR go-to resource for all things STEM and science all year round! STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. You can make STEM and science exciting, educational, and inexpensive for young kids. Encourage experimenting, tinkering, building, observing, exploring, problem solving, and creating! Our science activities plus STEM challenges will help kids fall in love with the world of STEM. We LOVE that slime is science too! Science you can eat. Also make sure to check out our summer initiative to get kids off the screens and into STEM! This is a new teacher led series that we hope will help to demystify NGSS science standards and help you implement the standards confidently in your classroom. A new printable 5 day STEM challenge pack filled with useful tips, resources, and a fun Steps To Success Design Process Chart! Science experiments, activities, and STEM challenges are awesome for young kids! NEW! Bubbles!

ippex online - main Zapping Fish Photo Credit: By Ian Boggs from Astoria, US (Lightning on the Columbia River) [CC-BY-SA-2.0], via Wikimedia Commons Spring rains will soon be falling, and warm temperatures will bring the return of thunderstorms. A caller to our 1-800-WHY-ISIT line notes that while most people know enough to leave the water during a lightning storm, most fish continue swimming recklessly. His question is: Why don't they all get zapped? Transcript Does lightning fry fish? Matt:"Why is it that we're directed to get out of water during a lightning storm to avoid electrocution? We asked Don MacGorman, a physicist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma. Don:"Basically lightning stays more on the surface of the water rather than penetrating it. So, when lightning hits the water, the current zips across the surface in all directions. Of course, if the fish happen to be surfacing, they're at risk just like you are. If you've got a striking science question, call us at 1-800-WHY-ISIT.

Difference Between Isotopes and Isobars Isotopes vs Isobars Atoms are the small building blocks of all existing substances. There are variations between different atoms. Also, there are variations within the same elements. Isotopes are examples for differences within a single element. Isobars are different elements with a similarity. Isotopes Atoms of the same element can be different. 1H – no neutrons, relative abundance is 99.985% 2H- one neutron, relative abundance is 0.015% 3H- two neutrons, relative abundance is 0% The number of neutrons a nucleus can hold differs from element to element. A mass spectrometer can be used to get information about isotopes. Isobars Isobars are atoms of different elements with the same mass number but their atomic numbers are different. Related posts:

¿Cómo y por qué enseñar ciencia? Dedicamos el programa de hoy a pensar la relación entre ciencia y educación. ¿Cómo enseñar ciencia dentro y fuera de la escuela? ¿Qué estrategias seguir? Recibimos a Gustavo Capialbi, docente de la Escuela Nº 15 D.E. 13, y a Laura Socolovsky, licenciada en Biología, y a Diego Golombek, Director del Centro Cultural de la Ciencia (C3), para pensar junto a ellos temas como el desafío de enseñar ciencia dentro y fuera de la escuela, la importancia de la forma y la estética de los contenidos, el rol de los docentes, los divulgadores y los guías de museos y centros culturales, la traducción de la mirada científica al lenguaje escolar. Hablamos también con la Dra. Además, en exclusiva para las redes sociales de la Televisión Pública Argentina, les preguntamos a Diego Golombek y Gustavo Capialbi cómo trabajar temas científicos con los chicos tanto en la escuela como en espacios de educación no formal.

Physics 121.6 Applets The following is a list of applet collections that you may find useful. In the table above however I have links to a few of the many applets available on the web that I think are most useful in illustrating the concepts of this course. Applets 1 - Graphs of Position and Velocity This Applet shows a cow on roller skates! You can give the cow an initial position, an initial velocity and an initial acceleration and then you can see what happened when you click on "RUN". The applet then draws a position verses time graph and a velocity verses time graph of the motion. Note the shape of the position vs. time graph and the velocity verses time graph for each of the following cases. Try different non-zero initial velocities with zero acceleration. This second applet displays much the same thing. Run Applet... Applets 2 - Vector Addition This Shockwave applet shows the addition of two vectors (Red vector + Green vector = Blue vector). Run Applet... Run Applet... Applets 3 - Projectile Motion
