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.

The U.S. NavyÕs attack submarine USS Pogy (SSN 647) returned to Hawaii, on Tuesday, November 12, after a 45-day research mission to the North Pole. The second of five planned deployments through the year 2000, Pogy embarked a team of researchers led by Mr. Ray Sambrotto of Columbia University. During the several thousand mile trek, the submarine collected data on the chemical, biological, and physical properties of the Arctic Ocean, and conducted experiments in geophysics, ice mechanics, pollution detection, and other areas. For the purposes of this voyage, a portion of the submarineÕs torpedo room was converted into laboratory space. However at no time was the ship ever removed as a front-line warship.

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md. hosted a special Webb Family Science Night on Wednesday, July 25, 2012.
Participants partook in hands-on activities to see what light looks like after it passes through lenses. By putting one lens in front of another, they made a telescope. Although Webb is not a telescope that will use a lens to collect its light, participants were able to build a telescope of similar ability to that of Galileo’s.
This special Webb Family Science Night was a hands-on and inquiry-based program designed for middle school students and their families, intended to increase STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) engagement, interest, and understanding. The Webb Family Science Night was a collaboration between NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Goddard’s Office of Education. The educational materials supporting this event were donated by SPIE – the International Society for Photonics and Optics.

The second Christian Science church built in Chicago is the oldest that still offers services. Architect Solon S. Beman patterned this Beaux-Arts structure after his Merchant Tailors building from the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. It is built of Bedford limestone and granite. The church at 2700 N. Pine Grove Ave. was dedicated on Easter Sunday 1901.
NOTE: An application before the Zoning Committee on December 1, 2020, is seeking approval to put a 7-story, 26-unit residential building behind the church. The structure will be set back 26 feet from W. Wrightwood Avenue and 24 feet from N. Pine Grove Avenue, where it will have its entrance.
NOTE 2: Three existing walls of the Second Church of Christ Scientist are being prepared in January 2024 for integration into a new 6-story mixed-use structure. The collaboration between Ogden Partners and Booth Hansen aims to preserve a portion of the original Beaux-Arts facade designed by Solon S. Beman. The church will continue operations within the building, occupying more than 4,700 square feet of space on the ground floor. The revised plan for the residential component now includes 22 apartment units, reduced from the initially proposed 26.

Emily's science homework was to bring into school something edible that represented a single cell. She baked sugar cookies and frosted them. The walnut is the nucleus. The chocolate chip is the mitochondria. The licorce is the endoplasmic reticulum. The pepermint piece is a vacuole, and the three nerds are ribosomes.
She loves to bake so she made enough for her whole class.
I had to take a picture of it on Pyrex, of course!

Scientists aim to understand the nuclear reactions that power star explosions by using sensitive detectors to track the energy and movement of charged particles as they emerge from nuclear reactions controlled in the laboratory. In this photograph, ORNL Liane B. Russell Fellow Kelly Chipps connects a detector for testing inside of a vacuum chamber before its eventual use in a nuclear reaction measurement.

Brookhaven National Laboratory Linear Accelerator (LINAC) was designed and built in the late 1960's as a major upgrade to the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) complex.
Its purpose is to provide accelerated protons for use at AGS facilities and the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP). The Linac is capable of producing up to a 35 milliampere proton beam at energies up to 200 million electron-volts (MeV) for injection into the AGS Booster or for the activation of targets at the BLIP.
