chapter 7 is heavily based on how discussion and the ways that teachers and students talk about scientific exploration affect how the students learn. This image has lots of examples of levels of blooms taxonomy to ensure that the learning is more than just the surface of the concept

We spent the morning at the Boston Museum of Science. He was mesmerized by this display on how tornadoes work.
We also walked out as members, so we'll be back soon. :)
Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology: Addressing Current and Emerging Development Challenges. IAEA, Vienna, Austria. 29 November 2018
SESSION 2: Addressing Climate Change Challenges
PANEL 2.2: Monitoring and mitigation of the impact of climate change
Climate change is a global challenge that will impact all countries. Extreme temperatures, floods and droughts are becoming more frequent. Changes in food growth patterns are slowly becoming apparent. New human and animal diseases are appearing in regions where they used to be absent. In this session, the Conference will focus on the applications of nuclear science and technology to monitor environmental changes to the ecosystems and to adapt to new climate realities. Taking into account the discussions of the International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century, held in Abu Dhabi from 30 October to 1 November 2017, the Conference will discuss the role of nuclear power in climate change mitigation, which many Member States consider to be an important option in this context. The discussion will include the role the IAEA should play in raising awareness and further enhancing the application of nuclear techniques in addressing climate change challenges.

An international team of researchers announced the observation of a dynamic Mott transition in a superconductor. The discovery experimentally connects the worlds of classical and quantum mechanics and illuminates the mysterious nature of the Mott transition. It also could shed light on non-equilibrium physics, which is poorly understood but governs most of what occurs in our world. The finding may also represent a step towards more efficient electronics based on the Mott transition. Read more »

I've recently joined the Council of Science Editors, and just got my first back issues of the journal a few days ago. Woo hoo!
(I've also joined the European Association of Science Editors, but it'll take a while longer to get my back issues.)

Using Arduino to get the cost of probeware down (for science education).
Vernier's cheapest interface is $61 and handles one sensor: www.vernier.com/mbl
Arduino Uno is $30 and has 6 analog inputs: www.sparkfun.com/products/9950
Our goal is to interoperate with this curriculum: www.concord.org/activities/research-focus/probeware
Physics Professor C.D. Hoyle, who was recently recognized by the SPS Observer for his organization of the Science on Tap informal lecture series, will be featured in Meet Humboldt. Be sure to check out his story as well as meet other great people from Humboldt.
I took a free tour of the Science Barge, a not-for-profit enterprise which is trying to prove that NYC's food needs could be met using renewable energy.

Airspeed AS57 Ambassador aka Elizabethan in BEA service. First flight 10 July 1947. Gained notoriety on 6 Feb 1958 with the crash of BEA Flt 609 coming from Belgrade to London via Munich. The aircraft, G-ALZU 'Lord Burghley' was slowed down on takeoff by snow and slush and crashed shortly after. 23 passengers died, 8 of them ManU players. Some recovered from their injuries to play again, but most not. Harry Gregg, goalkeeper, rescued a pregnant woman and her daughter from the wreckage. He met all three later. Manager Matt Busby recovered after receiving last rites twice, and returned to the club.
