Even an empty lunch sack is useful to science. You can examine it and come up with some traits. In this episode, Sabrina chats about things like malleability, hardness, conductivity, and magnetism.

Students use data acquisition equipment to learn about force and displacement in regard to simple and complex machines. In the engineering world, materials and systems are tested by applying forces and measuring the resulting displacements. The relationship between the force applied on a material, and its resulting displacement, is a distinct property of the material, which is measured in order to evaluate the material for correct use in structures and machines.

Students learn what a pendulum is and how it works in the context of amusement park rides. While exploring the physics of pendulums, they are also introduced to Newton's first law of motion about continuous motion and inertia.

In this course you will engage in a series of challenges designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits. You will ultimately be prepared to successfully incorporate a specific wellness activity into your life. Enroll for free.

A recent survey found that 37% of teens say they have poor mental health.

This 6-week course aims to curb this mental health crisis by bringing together the best insights from Dr. Laurie Santos’ popular Yale course Psychology and the Good Life.

In this course, you will explore what the field of psychology teaches us about how to be happier, how to feel less stressed, and how to thrive in high school and beyond. The lessons along with short weekly ‘happiness homework’ assignments will ultimately prepare you to put these scientific findings into practice. The ultimate goal is for you to feel better and build healthier habits.

Parents, teachers, and other professionals supporting teenagers may also find the course beneficial.

Sciences et Avenir : le journalisme scientifique comme ADN
Il est dédié à la diffusion d'informations scientifiquement vérifiées, c'est-à-dire issues de recherches menées par des experts et validées par la révision par les pairs. Objectifs et impartiaux, nos papiers sont écrits dans une perspective : permettre de décrypter un monde complexe où la science et la technologie occupent une place de plus en plus prépondérante. Dans un contexte où prolifèrent les “fake news” et les manipulations, notre équipe assume, avec engouement, une mission de service public en rendant la science accessible à tous.

« Sciences, on explore! Vous propose de petites expériences pour découvrir les sciences!

Historically speaking, there is no one scientific method. There’s more than one way to make knowledge. In this episode we're going to look at a few of those ways and how they became more of the "norm."

Biology lesson plans, worksheets, tutorials and resources for teachers and students on scientific methods.

In this activity students convert antilogs to logs, and logs to antilogs using scientific notation as an intermediate step. They will thereby develop a look-up table for solving math problems by using logarithms.åÊThis is activity D2 in the "Far Out Math" educator's guide. Lessons in the guide include activities in which students measure,compare quantities as orders of magnitude, become familiar with scientific notation, and develop an understanding of exponents and logarithms using examples from NASA's GLAST mission. These are skills needed to understand the very large and very small quantities characteristic of astronomical observations. Note: In 2008, GLAST was renamed Fermi, for the physicist Enrico Fermi.

So, what exactly is a scientific revolution? And are they more than just moments in time Historians use to mark the beginning and ending of things through time? In this episode we'll look into some ideas and people named Nick and how they fit into science and the search to understand ourselves and our place in the universe.

Although the vast majority of our children will not grow up to become science professionals, they are growing up in a world that requires scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. Technology will play a role in their lives that is unprecedented for previous generations. They will have to find solutions to climate change, unfamiliar diseases, animal extinction, overpopulation and possibly food shortages. It is crucial that we work together to help them be successful in this world.

Being a scientist is about asking questions and being curious, exploring and experimenting, figuring out how things work in the world – all things that children are naturally good at.

This site offers activities that will encourage children to follow their own natural curiosity, investigate, explore and discover. In science, there are no mistakes, only discoveries!

This website is excellent. It contains rich and diverse high-quality resources directed towards teachers and learners. Activities and guides can be self-paced/self-directed by the learner, or facilitated with adults. Material encourages critical thinking, and learning across subjects (ex: integrating learning new vocabulary into math activities).

Resources available across subjects, searchable by grade level, subject, and domain within each subject (ex: fractions within mathematics).

Materials for early childhood and grades K-12. Freely available.

In this two-part activity, learners compare how soil forms on Earth and the Moon. They examine different soil samples and compare them to lunar "soil" simulant. They explore how water, wind, and impactors help to make soil. This activity is part of Explore! To the Moon and Beyond! - a resource developed specifically for use in libraries.
