The children learned that candy and science do go together and is very yummy and you can learn some really valuable science lessons. The children went outside to the amphitheater and learned about mento's and diet coke vs. spirit. Diet coke is not sticky and the explosion when the mento's are dropped into the cola, produced a much higher explosion than spirit. The children then enjoyed a snack of green apple koolaid, sour gummy worms and pop rocks. Then everyone became candy scientists with clip boards in hand the children explored 3 different centers, a gummy bear station and what happens when they are soaked in different fluids; gobstoppers and water what happened with all those colors and how they looked like pizza squares and finally M&M's and skittles producing awesome colors in warm water and floating letters. The children had fun and afterwards received M&M's and skittles as a treat before they left.

I saw this sign and had to grab a picture. On the one hand, I think it's cool that computer science gets its own mention. On the other hand, I dont know why it would... computer science is engineering, too. Why... just the other day someone introduced me and some coworkers and called us engineers. IT WAS AWESOME.

The Exploring Earth Science Teacher Workshop 2017 took place over August 2nd and 3rd. Participating teachers spent two days in Shenandoah National Park learning and participating in activities around the theme "Shenandoah Salamander: Climate Change Casualty or Survivor."
This program is supported by a generous donation from the Shenandoah National Park Association and the Shenandoah National Park Trust.

DR JAY PETERSEN ADJUSTS THE LARGE GONI-OMETER INSTALLED IN A SPECIALLY SHIELDED CAVE OF THE A W WRIGHT NUCLEAR - YALE.
THE CAVE IS UNDER 20 FEET OF EARTH AND HAS 3 FOOT WALLS, FLOOR AND CEILING OF A SPECIAL CONCRETE CONTAINING NONE OF THE COMMON NATURALLY RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES (E.G. THORIUM AND POTASSIUM) SO THAT THE NORMAL RADIATION BACKGROUND LEVEL IS LESS THAN ONE THOUSANDTH OF THAT IN A TYPICAL RESIDENCE. THE PROJECTILE BEAM FROM THE ACCELERATOR ENTERS FROM THE RIGHT, AND PASSES THROUGH THE TARGET UNDER STUDY IN THE CENTRAL HEMISPHERICAL CHAMBER BEFORE EXITING TO THE LOWER LEFT AND BEING STOPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BEAM DUMP OUTSIDE OF THE CAVE. ONE OF THE LARGE, COMPUTER CONTROLLED GAMMA RADIATION DETECTORS IS SHOWN ON ITS OVERHEAD MOUNT TO THE LEFT OF DR. PETERSEN, A NUMBER OF SUCH DETECTORS MAY BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY UNDER ON-LINE COMPUTER CONTROL IN THE MEASUREMENT OF CHARACTERISTIC RADIATION PATTERNS FROM THE TARGET NUCLEI UNDER STUDY FOLLOWING THEIR STIMULATION BY THE PROJECTILES IN THE BEAM.

The Middle School Science Fair was held on May 28 in the Great Hall of the Center for Well-Being. The exhibits ranged from a lava lamp and lemon battery to a water powered grist mill and a study on which brand of diaper is most absorbent.
In another portion of the abandoned school in Pine Grove Louisiana we found one classroom that still resembled it's original functioning design. The Science Lab. Valve mounts on the desktops for gas tubes that can connect to bunsen burners, small wash sinks on each island/workspace for cleaning up or rescuing the incidental burn moment. It was a surreal site to see.
Books still littered the lab, some open on the table tops to pages of experiments and exercises published around 1982. All the jars, bottles, and beakers still present had cultivated a white milky film making all the glass look frosted. Part of me wanted to take one, it filtered light so well, but the reality is it's probably toxic and the boy in me was squelched by the voice of a current father who wouldn't dare let my own children play with it, so my inner child gets corrected as well.
Ultimately this room made me think about post-apocalyptic movie scenes of the future. Is this what a classroom would look like months after someone dropped the nuclear bomb hundreds of miles away? I hope no one ever has to know that, again.

NASA'S MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFORM AND THE CRAWLER THAT CARRIERS THE SPACE SHUTTLE TO THE LAUNCH PAD.
SANDIA'S TOM CARNE, SEEN IN FRONT OF THE MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFORM, HAS ASSISTED NASA WITH A SERIES OF TESTS BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER, 2003 TO DEVELOP THE DATA NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE RESPONSE OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE VEHICLE DURING ROLLOUT. THE MASSIVE MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFROM SITS ON THE CRAWLER WHICH TRAVELS AT 0.9 MPH, FOR ABOUT 5-6 HOURS TO TAKE THE SPACE HUTTLE FROM KENNEDY SPACE CENTER'S VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING TO THE LAUNCH PAD.

As part of Manchester Science Festival. The ‘Science Extravaganza’ brings together experts from across the faculty, creating family friendly workshops for members of the public. This year, the John Dalton Building became a Forensics Lab for a giant game of ‘who done it’, complete with detective notebooks and crime scene tape…
We were also proud to to host Combination Dance Co. working in collaboration with scientists from MMU, UCL and the Motor Neuron Disease Association. Dancers and martial arts performers staged an interactive dance exploring how we currently understand a motor neurone works, how MND affects the body and the effects MND has on those living with the disease.

Timelapse from inside of roof removal. Wall demolition of historic structure has started.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction patterns of cerium-aluminum
Background: Ever since the Bronze Age, humans have experimented with combining different metals to create alloys having properties superior to either metal alone. But not all metals readily form alloys. For some pairs of elements the atoms are too dissimilar. Now, researchers in an international team, using high-brilliance x-rays from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory , have discovered that previously impossible alloys can be created by subjecting atoms to high pressure―opening possibilities for new materials in the future.
