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.

The first recipient of the residency staged under the auspices of the Art & Science Network is MarÃa Ignacia Edwards (CHL). She was selected from among the 140+ applicants from 40 countries and will be spending her residency at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Austria.

SCIENCE!
I love looking at photos with supersuper high shutter speeds (1/1000 sec in this case). That tiny fraction of a second contains an entire world of things that happen so fast we don't even realize they happened at all.
The photo on the left, for instance, when the fountain is just forming. You can see a stream of Diet Coke trailing out of the paper tube we used to drop the Mentos into the bottle. In addition, There's still some actually coming out of the end of the tube, probably propelled only by inertia even after the tube's been pulled away.
And then the photo on the right. I just love the shapes that formed in the fountain. One would think it might just turn into a spray or come apart, but it clearly stays in a whole bunch of little spherical orbs of deliciousness as well as a giant, undulating snake of tooth decay.

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. More people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. The average lifetime chance that a man will develop lung cancer is about 1 in 13. For a woman it is 1 in 16. These numbers include both smokers and non-smokers. For smokers the risk is much higher, while for non-smokers the risk is lower.

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is the signature experimental science facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, underpinning the laboratory as a world- class scientific institution. LANSCE is a national resource that supports basic and applied research for national security and civilian applications.

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.
D+B office tour to observe construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition which will house the Planetarium dome.

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: A table showing the periodicity of the properties of many chemical elements, from the first English edition of Dmitrii Mendeleev's Principles of Chemistry (1891, translated from the Russian fifth edition). It is worth noting that the date, the presence of Gallium and the presence of Germanium this table indicate that it is not his original table. Thus it shows well his pattern recognition process, but not that he predicted the existence of Ga and Ge.
