BBC Hawaii | Message in the Waves | No More Plastic Bags Posters Scientific Posters Posters are a special type of presentation. When well designed, they are not simply journal papers pasted onto boards. Nor are they mounted sets of presentation slides. Rather, posters, when effectively designed, are something in between. This web page discusses the special situation that a scientist or engineer faces when designing a poster and then suggests some guidelines to address that situation. The purpose of scientific posters is to present work to an audience who is walking through a hallway or exhibit. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. So then what makes for an effective poster? First, the title of an effective poster should quickly orient the audience. Second, the poster should quickly orient the audience to the subject and purpose. Third, the specific sections such as the results should be easy to locate on the poster.Once readers recognize what the work is, they decide how much energy to invest into the poster.

Best Science Apps for Middle School and Upper Elementary School Kids Today’s Best Educational Apps for Kids list is Best Science apps for middle school and upper elementary kids (Age 10 to 15). I did not include those animal related apps, as there will be a separate list of “Best Educational Apps for Kids” on ”Nature and Animals”. Most science apps I listed for kids age 6 to 10 are also appropriate for this age group. You can find that list by visiting Best Science Apps for Elementary School Kids. If you know any good science apps for kids age 10 to 15, please leave the app name in a comment. VideoScience (Free): the app has a growing library of over 80 hands-on science lessons that are great for home and the classroom. Britannica Kids: Volcanoes ($4.99): Like other Britannica Kids apps, this one integrates multimedia materials teaching kids everything about volcanoes: the Erupting Earth, Lava and Magma, Types of Volcano, Decade Volcanoes, and more. Chemist ($4.99): it is like a Chemistry Lab on the iPAD. What is your child’s favorite science app?
Welcome to NESTA | NESTA Science Fair Projects This is selection of ideas for 1st grade science fair projects with short project descriptions or examples as well as links to the actual science fair projects. Some of this ideas could also be used for 2nd and 3rd grades (and vice versa). Also some second grade science project ideas and third grade project ideas could be used in the first grade so check them out. At this age science projects resemble either simple games or magic tricks. There are few fundamentally different types of science projects for this age and this is how they are sorted. Hobby or Collection. Leaf Collection. The goal of the project is to explain the concept of biodiversity, and find out how many different species of trees and bushes grow in your backyard (your street, neighborhood, nearest forest). When you back home it's time to do some sorting. Collected leaves can be sorted in number of different ways: by shape, by size, by leaf venation and leaf type. To the top of the page. Fossils. So how fossils were formed?

The Science Behind Clouds – On a Cloudy Day You Can See Weather Have you ever wondered how clouds form? We all learn the water cycle in school – water falls from the clouds in the form of rain or snow and collects on the ground. The water on the ground heats up and turns to vapor and the vapor travels up into the atmosphere and creates clouds. But how do those clouds form? Here’s an experiment that demonstrates how the water molecules join together and form a cloud. Before you start on your own cloud, let’s learn a little more about clouds. A cloud is a lot of droplets of water and or ice crystals, depending on the temperature. Even though we don’t see them, water molecules are in the air all around us. Clouds on Earth form when warm air rises and its pressure is reduced. Why do clouds float instead of sinking to the earth?
