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.

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.
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.

Eclipse Glasses rated ISO-12312-2 for viewing a solar eclipse.

21 August 2017.
*******************
▶"Your parents probably told you to NEVER look directly at the sun with your naked eye. In fact, you've probably been told that by lots of reputable sources (including our own Space.com). But according to NASA and four other science and medical organizations, it's OK to look at a total solar eclipse with the naked eye — but only when the face of the sun is totally obscured by the moon.
▶ Looking directly at the sun without eye protection can cause serious eye damage or blindness. But there are ways to safely observe the sun. During a partial solar eclipse, people often use pinhole cameras to watch the progress of the moon across the sun's surface (pinhole cameras are easy to make at home). This is an "indirect" way of observing the sun, because the viewer sees only a projection of the sun and the moon."
****************
▶ "To view the sun directly (and safely), use 'solar-viewing glasses' or 'eclipse glasses' or 'personal solar filters' (these are all names for the same thing), according to the safety recommendations from NASA. The 'lenses' of solar-viewing glasses are made from special-purpose solar filters that are hundreds of thousands of times darker than regular sunglasses, according to the American Astronomical Society (AAS). These glasses are so dark that the face of the sun should be the only thing visible through them. Solar-viewing glasses can be used to view a solar eclipse, or to look for sunspots on the sun's surface.
▶ But beware! NASA and the AAS recommend that solar-viewing or eclipse glasses meet the current international standard: ISO 12312-2. Some older solar-viewing glasses may meet previous standards for eye protection, but not the new international standard."

AN LAWRENCE BERKELEY LABORATORY BUILT RADIO FREQUENCY QUADRUPOLE (RFQ).
THE RADIO FREQUENCY QUADRUPOLE IS A DEVICE THAT CAPTURES HEAVY IONS PRODUCED IN A SOURCE, FOCUSES AND BUNCHES THEM, AND ACCELERATES THE BUNCHES TO ENERGIES APPROPRIATE FOR INJECTION INTO AN ACCELERATOR. THE DEVICE GETS ITS NAME FROM THE SYMMETRICAL ARRANGEMENT OF FOUR TRIANGULAR-SHAPED VANES THAT FORM A SMALL HOLE THROUGH WHICH THE ION BEAM PASSES. THE RIPPLES ALONG THE VANE EDGES PROVIDE ACCELERATION. A RADIO FREQUENCY QUADRUPOLE (RFQ) IS IN ROUTINE USE AT THE BEVATRON.

The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! summer camps every year throughout July and August. Designed especially for young people in Grades 4, 5, and 6. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers.
Today the kids learned to make super stretchy silly putty, watched some amazing science demos, and flew paper airplanes on the green.
While there may not be a scientific formula or equation proving science is fun, dozens of West Point cadets and faculty members attended the science fair at Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Highland Falls on March 24 to demonstrate how exciting the subject can be. Participants from the U.S. Military Academy showcased the best of electrical engineering and computer science, physics, civil and mechanical engineering, chemistry and life sciences.
