Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples worldwide. But in the last 40 years, more than 5 million babies have been born using in vitro fertilization (IVF). How does it work? Nassim Assefi and Brian A. Levine detail the science behind making a baby in a lab.
This lesson looks at how to explain the concepts related to processing materials using machine tools and equipment.

In this lesson on cosmic rays, students will explain two examples of a cosmic ray detector. Includes information about student preconceptions and a demonstration that requires a geiger counter and optional access to a small radioactive source that emits energetic helium nuclei (alpha particles), e.g., the mineral the mineral autunite, which contains uranium. This is activity two of four from The Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER).
This short video explains to kids why we are "stuck at home" during the COVID-19 outbreak.
This is a tricky time for kids and they are missing school and their friends. It can be even harder if they don't understand WHY we are all at home.
I hope this video can help children understand "the why".
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about how humans get the resources we need to survive, even though those resources may come from a long way away.
A great framework for helping audiences understand the what, how, and why to make something complicated simple.
Students set up and run the experiments they designed in the Population Growth in Yeasts associated lesson, using simple yeast-molasses cultures in test tubes. Population growth is indicated by the amount of respiration occurring in the cultures, which in turn is indicated by the growth of carbon dioxide bubbles trapped within the culture tubes. Using this method, students test for a variety of environmental influences, such as temperature, food supply and pH.

Students measure and analyze forces that act on vehicles pulling heavy objects while moving at a constant speed on a frictional surface. They study how the cars interact with their environments through forces, and discover which parameters in the design of the cars and environments could be altered to improve vehicles' pulling power. This LEGO® MINDSTORMS® based activity is geared towards, but not limited to, physics students.
In a world where growing older can mean entering into a complex and confusing maze of difficult choices, Amy O'Rourke stands out as a passionate advocate for the elderly and their families. As founder of Cameron Group Care Management Services, she prioritizes quality of life and helps families and elders navigate the challenges of aging while supporting vital lifestyle preferences.
This graphic organizer outlines the difference between a summary and a paraphrase. It also outlines the steps in writing a summary. A short selection is included for practice. This is a good resource for any subject area.
The single most important skill for a computer scientist is problem solving. The goal of this book is to teach you to think like a computer scientist.
Python is a fun and extremely easy-to-use programming language that has steadily gained in popularity over the last few years. Developed over ten years ago by Guido van Rossum, Python's simple syntax and overall feel is largely derived from ABC, a teaching language that was developed in the 1980's. However, Python was also created to solve real problems and it borrows a wide variety of features from programming languages such as C++, Java, Modula-3, and Scheme. Because of this, one of Python's most remarkable features is its broad appeal to professional software developers, scientists, researchers, artists, and educators. 278 page pdf file.
Scientists require interaction and teamwork to do their jobs, so it’s important to build that kind of culture with every student in the science classroom. This can be done by:
1. Creating a safe, equitable space.
2. Connecting to humans in the real world.
3. Integrating other disciplines.
4. Supporting the development of interpersonal skills.
In this article, you will find access to "Science Connections: The Podcast" as well as an infographic that will help to inspire the next generation of scientific innovators.
Developed for third grade. This lesson begins by exploring the concepts of density and buoyancy with an introductory "sink or float" activity. In this activity students will be asked to predict whether they think each of a group of small objects will sink or float. The objects we used for this activity are on the materials list. This gets students interested and asking the question "why do some objects sink, and others float?" Students will be asked to think about this question before being given an explanation.This introduction is followed by an experiment. The experiment is a great example of instant gratification science! In this activity students will form a hypothesis about how many teaspoons of salt it will take to float an egg in one cup of water. The hypothesis is then tested and the results are analyzed. Be sure to tell students that it does not matter whether their hypothesis is rejected; all science is successful because knowledge is gained from a hypothesis that is rejected or supported.The emphasis of this lesson is on formulating and testing of a hypothesis.Biology In Elementary Schools is a Saint Michael's College student project. The teaching ideas on this page have been found, refined, and developed by students in a college-level course on the teaching of biology at the elementary level. Unless otherwise noted, the lesson plans have been tried at least once by students from our partner schools. This wiki has been established to share ideas about teaching biology in elementary schools. The motivation behind the creation of this page is twofold: 1. to provide an outlet for the teaching ideas of a group of college educators participating in a workshop-style course; 2. to provide a space where anyone else interested in this topic can place their ideas.
Suno is a music creation tool that takes your song idea and handles everything else. It writes the lyrics, composes the music, generates the vocal track, and mixes it all into a complete song. All you need to do is hit play. (You can make about 10 songs a day for free.)
*describe the mood, topic or subject and the type of musical style you'd like and it does all the work.
Some ideas to write a song about:
*character or historical figure
*historical event
*character trait you're trying to build E.g., honesty, organization etc
*transition times
*a concept you're learning about
*class anthem
*a story student's have written
*current events
*projects
*just for fun - E.g., Sleepy Monday song
Be sure to preview content before using with students - some content may not be appropriate that is on the site already. Use your judgement - it may be best if you make the songs based on the student request.
