History of Newton's Papers (1727-1872) | Newton Project At his death on 20 March 1727,[1] Isaac Newton left papers relating to all areas of the intellectual pursuits he had followed since arriving at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the summer of 1661.[2] His friend, relative by marriage (to Newton's half-niece Catherine Barton) and successor at the Mint, John Conduitt, posted a bond for Newton's debts and claimed entitlement to this material, Newton having died intestate. As is evident from a number of manuscripts adorned with Conduitt's notes and corrections -- for example the manuscript of 'An historical account of two notable corruptions of Scripture in a Letter to a Friend' (now New College, Oxford, Ms. 361.4) -- he took a serious scholarly interest in the papers he had acquired, although this was also partly directed towards the possibility of their publication.

Game for science - Virtual world devoted to science, technology and free educational games online Arizona Geology 3D Welcome to the Arizona Geology 3D website. This site consists of QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movies of the Geologic Map of Arizona draped over digital topography for each 1 X 1 quadrangle. Each movie consists of a 3D perspective of the quadrangle that the user can rotate using the mouse to view the area from any direction. This site allows you to see how the geology relates to topography, cities, and other culture. To use this site you will need QuickTime installed on your computer, either as a plug-in for your browser or as a stand-alone application to run downloaded files. AZ Geo 3D Info: Sources of data and how Arizona Geology 3D was developed.

TRB 4:3 - Investigation 3 - Weathering Summary:These classroom activities will help students understand 4 types of weather processes: wind, running water, plant growth, and freezing water. Main Curriculum Tie: Science - 4th GradeStandard 3 Objective 2Explain how the processes of weathering and erosion change and move materials that become soil. Materials:Worksheets for each student Activity 1 Materials16 oz. paper cups Colored Chalk Salt Activity 2 MaterialsPlastic bottle with lid Small pieces of sandstone (about 3 pieces per bottle) Water Activity 3 Materials16 oz. paper cups Bean seeds Plaster of Paris Paper towels Activity 4 MaterialsSmall plastic bags Clay (the soil kind) Water Additional Resources Videos: Bill Nye Video, Erosion. Attachments Background For Teachers:Soils form over millions of years from parent material that is broken down by weathering from wind, water, temperature, chemical changes, and living organisms. Over time, enough expansion and contraction cause rock particles to chip off. Instructional Procedures

Extreme Weather 2011 A year for the record books From extreme drought, heat waves and floods to unprecedented tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, wildfires and winter storms, a record 14 weather and climate disasters in 2011 each caused $1 billion or more in damages — and most regrettably, loss of human lives and property. NOAA's National Weather Service has redoubled its efforts to create a "Weather-Ready Nation", where vulnerable communities are better prepared for extreme weather and other natural disasters. NOAA forecasts, advisories, watches, warnings and community-based preparedness programs have been and will continue play an even greater role in enhancing the economy and saving lives.

Starfall's Learn to Read with phonics Virtual Tour: Panoramic Images: Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History This comprehensive virtual tour allows visitors using a desktop computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) or a mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android) to take a virtual, self-guided, room-by-room walking tour of the whole museum. You can even browse a list of past exhibits, which is included on the ground floor map (see upper right map buttons). The visitor can navigate from room to room by clicking map locations or by following blue arrow links on the floor that connect the rooms. The desktop version includes camera icons to indicate hotspots where the visitor can get a close-up view of a particular object or exhibit panel. Please note: This tour is provided in Flash and HTML5 / Javascript versions. Site Credit: Imagery and coding by Loren Ybarrondo.

FINDASAURUS CRAIG A. MUNSART and KAREN ALONZI-VAN GUNDY ONE WAY to find out more information about dinosaurs is to discover more dinosaur fossils. The type of rocks in which dinosaur fossils (and almost all other fossils) are found is called sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock generally occurs as flat layers called strata (single layers called stratum). Imagine you have a handful of both coarse and very fine sand and a bucket of water. Virtually the identical process occurs in nature. Looking for bone layers is much like playing detective. The first thing we must do is narrow the search. Return to top Once the layer is found, more work needs to be done. Using fossils to correlate and locate the correct strata, and to determine where in those strata dinosaurs might be found, it is now possible to see how dinosaur fossils can be traced from one place to another. Time: 30-45 minutes 1) Distribute Figure 1 to students. 3) Distribute Figure 2 to students. Holmes, Arthur.
