The Best Science Sites Of 2019 – Part One It’s time for another “Best” list! I’m adding this post to ALL MID-YEAR “BEST OF 2019” LISTS IN ONE PLACE! You can see all previous editions of this Science list, along with other Science-related “Best” lists, here (Best list son Planets & Space are here). Let me know what I’m missing…: I’m adding this video to The Best Resources For Learning About Rube Goldberg Machines: What student wouldn’t find this lesson and video from TED-Ed: I’m adding these two very useful visuals to The Best Sites To Learn About Climate Change: Here’s an impressive animation: You can read more about it at Vox’s article, Why the US bears the most responsibility for climate change, in one chart. This next visual also comes from Vox: You can read more about it at This book ranks the top 100 solutions to climate change. How animals view the world is a new tool from LensBest that lets you see how various animals see the world, and explains why that’s the case. Stanford provides a free science curriculum called SCALE.

List do Diogneta - Opus Dei Dzieło (*) to odnaleziono wśród pism greckiego filozofa, wybitnego apologety chrześcijańskiego Św. Justyna. Jednak nie był on najprawdopodobniej autorem listu Do Diogneta. Po latach badań nie można jednoznacznie wskazać autora, wiemy natomiast, że dzieło powstało pod koniec II wieku. Diognet pragnie poznać chrześcijaństwo I. 1. Jakiemu Bogu zawierzyli? 2.

Stations of Light - Activity Summary Student groups rotate through four stations to examine light energy behavior: refraction, magnification, prisms and polarization. They see how a beam of light is refracted (bent) through various transparent mediums. This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Engineering Connection Engineers apply their knowledge of the properties of light and light energy to the creation of many useful products and tools. Learning Objectives After this activity, students should be able to: Educational Standards Each TeachEngineering lesson or activity is correlated to one or more K-12 science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) educational standards. All 100,000+ K-12 STEM standards covered in TeachEngineering are collected, maintained and packaged by the Achievement Standards Network (ASN), a project of D2L (www.achievementstandards.org).

Arizona Science and Engineering Fair | Hosted by Arizona Science Center Congratulations to All 2022 AzSEF Participants and Winners! Thank you for for your curiosity and dedication to science and engineering See the Full List of Winning Recipients 2022 About The Arizona Science and Engineering Fair (AzSEF) is the state science fair for Arizona. Mission Statement The mission of the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair (AzSEF) is to support and provide guidance to students and teachers throughout Arizona to ensure the continued availability and vitality of this statewide celebration of scientific inquiry for the citizens of Arizona.

STEM Resources for Teachers | intranet.bloomu.edu Connecting with the millennial generation, our current K-12 students, means a new way to teach and introduce material. Tech savvy Millennials love learning that is individually adapted to them with just enough detail that is needed at that particular moment in time. While very motivated and goal-oriented, Millennials want to learn in a team-oriented environment. Teaching to these students should use methods that connects to their needs while also meeting set educational standards. Looking for new ways to teach STEM? These free resources are available for you to infuse new ideas into your current curriculum. Learningscience.org - a free and open learning community for sharing newer and emerging tools to teach science.Science Demonstrations for Young Learners - From the College of Science and Technology at Temple University, this site offers videos of fun science demonstrations for young students and children.

Science Learning Activities - EDTECH 541: Final Project Part 1: Simulations Simulation 1Explorelearning is an online resource for a variety of simulations that it calls Gizmos. These Gizmos can can be filtered by a variety of different characteristics that can be very useful for a instructor. These filters include; academics standards, grade level, topic, and textbook correlation. I chose to select the grade level and topic of 9-12 Biology. Under the Biology heading I selected Ecology and interdependence. Simulation 2Phet is an interactive simulation website that provides a variety of different simulations for many different science topics. Simulation 3Science Kids is a website that provides a variety of different resources for science content. Simulation 4Web Adventures provides interactive games that student explore to learn a number of different science topics. Part 2: Resources

How To Set Up Science Stations In Your Classroom Science Stations are a great way to increase student engagement and responsibility. They encourage them to become active participants in their learning and moving them toward ownership and agency. You can read more about WHY I use stations in this blog post, but for now – let’s chat about HOW I prepare for stations. How To Choose Your Activities: Complexity: For your science stations, choose activities that students can work through more or less independently. While students may struggle with this type of independence initially, as you use science stations more frequently, they will become accustomed to doing some “figuring out” on their own. Lastly, each science station should have simple instructions. Examples: Content: I use the 5E instructional model in my classroom, and I have found that science station work is perfect for Explore activities. I also use it for initial Explain activities, but I always follow up with a whole-group review. Example: Timing: Setting Up science stations:

The science of snowflakes - Maruša Bradač The phrase “no two snowflakes are alike” was first coined by Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley (1865-1931). He admired the snowflakes and wrote: "Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated...When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind.”You can explore more about his life here. The physics of how snowflakes form is very complex and some researchers devote their entire life studying these. One of them is the physicist Ken Libbrecht. Peer through a magnifying glass at a snowflake, and you’ll see an ice creation more elaborate than anything Martha Stewart could cut from folded paper. See Radiolab's blog for more information and stunning photographs of snowflakes. This animated short uses these sounds from freesound:

: Virtual Labs The Virtual Lab is an online simulation of a chemistry lab. It is designed to help students link chemical computations with authentic laboratory chemistry. The lab allows students to select from hundreds of standard reagents (aqueous) and manipulate them in a manner resembling a real lab. More information and offline downloads. Please scroll below to find our collection of pre-written problems, they have been organized by concept and ranked by difficulty. Stoichiometry The Mole, Molarity, and Density Glucose Dilution Problem In this activity, students use the virtual lab to create a 0.025M glucose solution from a standard 1M glucose solution.

Quality Examples of Science Lessons and Units In an effort to identify and shine a spotlight on emerging examples of high quality lessons and units designed for the NGSS, Achieve launched the EQuIP Peer Review Panel for Science (PRP). The PRP uses the EQuIP Rubric for Science (Version 3.0) and the associated quality review process to evaluate the instructional materials. The objective is not to endorse a particular curriculum, product or template, rather to identify lessons and units that best illustrate the cognitive demands of the NGSS. Each lesson or unit is available to download and use in classrooms. Citing Sources for Your Science Fair Project Learn how to properly credit sources for a science fair project. Citing your sources for a science fair project is done the same way as any other research paper. Your teacher will provide rubrics for the assignment and let you know what citation style you should use to format your entries. Usually, in middle and high school, students are asked to use MLA citation style, even for science projects. Organizing Your Science Fair Report Although requirements can differ depending on your teacher’s assignment, here is a good outline to follow when organizing your science fair report: Topics for a Science Fair Project Your teacher will guide you on finding topics for science fair projects.
