Photos taken for work of the 12th annual Science & Engineering Fair at Des Moines Public Schools. I always enjoy how earnest the students are in explaining their work to the judges.
KILKENNY - Monday, 2nd November 2015 - The annual Science Foundation Ireland Science Summit begins today in Kilkenny. Taking place over two-days (2th-3th November) with the theme For Whats Next, the summit provides a platform for 300 members of Irelands research community to discuss Irelands science policy, programmes and progress. The summit will feature keynote speakers including Mr Chris Lewicki, President and Chief Engineer at Planetary Resources, a USA based asteroid mining company whose vision is to do the impossible now by developing a space economy through Asteroid mining.
Jeff and Hellen had found the perfect flavor for a new soda; the trick would be not letting the public know that the soon-to-be 0 Sugar Maple Cinnamon Pop owed its flavor to a worm unknown to science.
LNWR 2-2-2 No. 1868 'Columbine' (No.49) designed by Alexander Allen, built at Crewe Works of the Grand Junction Railway in 1845, withdrawn in 1902, seen in the Making the Modern World exhibition at the Science Museum, South Kensington, London.
My daughter wanted a science cake. It was rather difficult because she wanted cream cheese frosting. It was so hard to get the frosting to decorate well. I used rolled buttercream for the book and gumpaste for the figures.
This is what happens when you mix household chemicals :) Don't try this at home kids, we are professionals.
I was experimenting with different fluids to find a good density balanace for 'water' drop shots using fingernail polish.
Water was a wash; the nail polish just dissipaited as you'd expect, eventually forming a thin, hard shell on top of the glass. Interesting, but not photo worthy.
Isopropyl alcohol, on the other hand...
This is a syringeful of green nail polish plunged into a shot glass of 99% isopropyl alcohol.
What was really cool (especially from a photographer's perspective) is that the mixture created this substrate, then *kept* it, forming almost a gel. So, I could move my lights around, try different subject/camera angles and distances, and many different light painting trials... all with the same 'sculpture'. And, since things weren't moving, I could use a relatively long exposure to burn in the glow.
The key to avoiding flare on the plastic shot glass was to use horizonal lighting directly from the side. The inner glow came from a bicycle light pointed straight down on the subject, just above camera view.
I made a dozen different combinations, I liked this one best.

Construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition.

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.

Description: This W5 star-forming region in constellation Cassiopeia, known as the Mountains of Creation, is captured here by the Spitzer Space Telescope. It is a vast cloud of interstellar gas and dust, 6500 light years away, where intense star formation is occurring. Invisible to the naked eye, the light from these stars heats the gas and dust, making it glow in infrared light. Many background stars are also visible through the glow.

Patchwork sock and sun to allow all children to participate - in pairs they stuck strips of pink/blue/yellow onto 10x10cm squares.
Squares at bottom them coloured over in pink/blue felt tip to look like it's wetter.

The LCC Science Fiction Club put on a halloween themed event to protect the LCC Campus from Pestum Immortosis - the zombie plague! Club members and the campus had a blast getting candy and pretending.
Everyone was invited to participate in the Zombie Plague Vaccination Program (ZPVP) where Nurses’* Station administered zombie plague vaccinations* in the Student Center on Monday, Oct. 28 and Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013.
For those that got bitten by a zombie* before being vaccinated*, medication* from the ZPVP Nurses’ Station was available to slow the progression of the disease.
* Notes: Not real nurses, though some of them may play nurses on T.V. Vaccinations and medications are non-pharmaceutical candy-placebos. Zombie-actors respected personal space, and those that participate received a zombie “bite” certificate.
This is my son's science project from 7th grade (1999). The intention was to compare the weight supported by a suspension bridge and a truss bridge. The same amount of material (balsa and roadway) was used in both bridges.
Neither bridge failed under the weights that were added. Pretty impressive! As you can probably tell, the amount of weight on the suspension bridge wouldn't even fit on the truss bridge as built.
The washers are about 2 inches in diameter.

Nicolas Ochart and Linae Myhand of the “Science Kids,” a team from Heidelberg Middle School's 7th grade Science Club present information on wind turbines. They hope to implement the energy in their school by placing a wind turbine on the roof of the middle school. They presented their research at the Feb. 11 Community Update at the Patrick Henry Village Theater in Heidelberg.
Pacific Science Center includes six acres of hands-on science fun, two IMAX theaters, Tropical Butterfly House, Live Science Stage shows, Discovery Carts, Laser Dome and much more.
