O mito de Tesla | Universo Racionalista Sem dúvida, um dos mais destacados inventores científicos dos últimos séculos, mas, lamentavelmente, também uma figura enormemente atrativa para os seguidores de crenças conspiratórias e pseudociências. Não há homem na história da ciência que carregue mais mitos do que Tesla e, atualmente não há quase nada escrito sobre ele que não está exagerado ou que não tente diviniza-lo. A fim de reivindicar a sua imagem e apreciar o homem pelas suas grandes obras e não pelos seus mitos, pretendo esclarecer algumas meia-verdades, imprecisões e mentiras que assombram a figura notória deste cientista. Tesla inventou a corrente alternada? Não. Tesla inventou o raios-X? Não. Tesla inventou o rádio e a tecnologia sem fio? Não. Tesla se propôs a dar ao mundo energia sem fio e gratuita? A famosa Torre de Wardenclyffe, também conhecida como Torre de Tesla, foi projetada para comunicações sem fio em todo o Atlântico. Tesla inventou o “Raio da Morte”? Não. Um gênio anônimo e esquecido? Fontes Cheney, M., Uth, R.

Secondary Curriculum Resources Secondary Energy Infobook (e-publication) Energy Infobooks are the resource for many NEED activities and include an introduction to energy, information on major sources of energy, new technologies, energy conservation, electricity, climate change, and other energy information. They are available on four reading levels and are revised and updated annually. Blueprint for Success (e-publication) This essential guide helps educators develop effective energy education programs. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage This guide incorporates informational text and hands-on explorations to teach students about the properties of carbon dioxide. Chemistry and Energy Efficiency In this web-based curriculum, teachers and students take an in- depth look at chemistry in daily life, the use of energy by the chemistry industry, life cycles of products and activities, careers in the chemistry industry, and the impact the chemistry industry has on carbon dioxide production and climate change.
Astrologia não é ciência | Universo Racionalista Por Kepler de Souza Oliveira Filho A astrologia relaciona a posição dos astros no céu, tanto no nascimento quanto diariamente, com fatos na Terra, incluindo os humores e destinos das pessoas. Ela assume que há ação dos corpos celestes sobre os objetos animados e inanimados e que os ângulos aparentes entre os planetas no céu afetam a humanidade. Astrologia não deve ser confundida com Astronomia, a ciência que verdadeiramente estuda os astros e seu funcionamento, isto é, sua física. Quando a astrologia começou, no vale dos rios Eufrates e Tigris, no atual Iraque, cerca de 3000 a.C., os mesopotâneos e os babilônios acreditavam que os planetas, incluindo o Sol e a Lua, e seus movimentos, afetavam a vida dos reis e das nações. A chave da astrologia natal é o horóscopo, uma carta que mostra a posição dos planetas no céu no momento do nascimento (e não da concepção!) A necessidade de conhecimento da posição dos planetas levou ao desenvolvimento da astronomia. A astrologia não é uma ciência.
Marsbound! Mission to the Red Planet - JPL Education by David Seidel David Seidel manages JPL's K-12 education program. Before joining JPL he taught high school astronomy and physical science and ran a planetarium. Marsbound! What's particularly nifty is that this activity simulates real situations experienced by NASA scientists and engineers. Student ability level: Students need to be able to add and subtract fractions, and multiply and divide whole numbers. Tip: Make sure you use a color printer for the game board and cards. You can find Marsbound!
SciGirls | Classroom Resources | PBS LearningMedia SciGirls has the bold goal of changing how millions of girls think about science, technology, engineering and math – or STEM. Each half-hour episode highlights the processes of science and engineering, following a different group of middle school girls who design, with the help of scientist mentors, their own inquiry-based investigations on a variety of topics. They also learn how rewarding and fun it is to work with their peers, and the shows’ female mentors offer girls a glimpse of exciting STEM career possibilities. SciGirls educational materials provide gender-equitable teaching strategies and hands-on inquiries based on the concepts modeled in SciGirls’ videos.

The ABCs of Particle Physics: A-F Accelerators and black holes and cryostats, oh my! We know particle physics can seem daunting at times, but everything’s more fun to learn when it rhymes. So we’re breaking it down, letter by letter, with hopes that you’ll understand physics much better. That’s right: Inspired by children’s books, we’ve pulled 26 of our favorite particle physics concepts into a short, rhyming collection for folks of all ages. For those wanting a little bonus knowledge beyond the rhyme, we’ve included additional physics info for each letter. This interactive trip works best in Chrome and Firefox and at resolutions 1280 x 800 and higher. Click to journey through the ABCs of particle physics! Animations not working? Prefer a hard copy?
REBROADCAST: Space Celebrate the 35th anniversary of the launch of Voyager 2 (it rocketed off Earth on 8/20/77 carrying a copy of the Golden Record), and tip your hat to the Mars rover Curiosity as it kicks off its third week on the red planet, with a rebroadcast of one our favorite episodes: Space. We've been space-crazy the past few weeks here at Radiolab -- from cheering on the scientifically epic landing of the Mars rover earlier this month, to staying up late to watch the Perseid meteor showers, to reliving a stomach-churning spacewalk with an astronaut in our live show In the Dark. We've been happily turning our thoughts and gazes skyward all summer long. So before the nights get too chilly, grab a blanket, cue up Space, and stare into that vast, glittering, perspective-shaking darkness with us.
