Elementary teachers learn how they can teach concepts related to sound and waves. The K-5 STEM project is a three year project that includes 67 elementary teachers and is led by scientists, mathematicians and educators from UW Oshkosh.
Following an hour of mentoring students, National Guard volunteers take part in a game of dodge ball at Pillsbury Elementary School in Minneapolis on April 29, 2015. During the 2014-15 school year, 24 Minnesota National Guard volunteers participated in the STARBASE 2.0 mentoring program, supporting students’ excitement and learning in the academic disciplines emphasized in STEM, which stresses Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Opening on May 10, 1906, King Street Station served the Great Northern Railway and Northern Pacific Railway until the creation and start of Amtrak on May 1, 1971. The station was designed by the St. Paul, Minnesota architectural firm of Charles A. Reed and Allen H. Stem, who were later associate designers for the New York Central Railroad's Grand Central Terminal in New York City. King Street Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places and the Washington Heritage Register in 1973.
Since the early 1990s, the station was in various states of repair to undo remodels done during the middle of the Twentieth Century to "modernize" the facility, including the restoration of the elegant main waiting room. King Street Station was purchased by the City of Seattle in 2008 for $10 and, with enough funds finally in place, the restoration was finally completed in 2013.
The station is served by Amtrak Cascades, Empire Builder, and Coast Starlight trains, and by Sound Transit's Sounder commuter trains. King St. Station is also the Seattle terminus for the Rocky Mountaineer's luxury excursion train, the Coastal Passage. 7-13-18
Meal eaten at The Rivers Restaurant: Medallions of elk.
We used to raise whitetail deer, and I will to this day not eat the meat of a deer.
We used to raise elk, too, and to this day I will eat elk at any opportunity.
They're majestic animals at a distance. Up close, they're grunting, bugling beasts. The males... er, pleasure themselves frequently (this is not a joke, I swear to you). They're surly. One of them tried to kill my dog. They escaped constantly. At one point we had to wrangle the bull back into the pen--my father with a lasso, my uncle with ski poles, and me with a shotgun (for the "just in case" moment). They smell. The bull used to hit the fence like a shark banging into a shark cage. They're unpleasant animals, and it is my pleasure to eat them.
I EAT YOU, ELK. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?
...
Ahem. Yes. Back to your regularly-scheduled Flickrpics.

Students took an overnight trip to Boston filled with STEM workshops and city tours, including one of Fenway park.
NAS Oceana and the Virginia Beach City Public School (VBCPS) system have once again partnered to provide every fifth-grader enrolled in Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) the opportunity to take a one-of-kind field trip to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Friday, Sept. 15. The special Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab Day, was part of the annual Air Show. This event is being provided free of cost for all students and every child had a chance to take part in hands-on activities and learn about STEM careers in a real-world setting. This included displays and exhibits from NASA Langley, the Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Wesleyen University, Engineering for Kids, Old Dominion University, Landstown High School, Navy history and heritage command, U.S. Naval research laboratory and Virginia Department of Transportation.

A species of Fringe Lily (probably Thysanotus manglesianus). Note the angled and twisted stems in this species, along with the lack of leaves. Photographed along Coorow-Green Head Road, east of Green Head, north of Lesueur National Park, in Western Australia.
In support of the Corps STEM initiative, four Buffalo District team members put on a "Flash Training" event for teachers of Mullen Elementary School, Tonawanda, NY. The training was a one-hour program that involved each team members developing a simple science activity, demonstrating the activity to the teachers and explaining the scientific theory behind the activity. The purpose of the training was to save the teachers time in researching and experimenting with STEM activities for the classroom and instead, create and bring an activity to the teachers so they could see it first-hand and learn how to present the activity in the classroom. The "flash" portion of the training referred to the concept of demonstrating an activity "in a flash" and moving the teachers onto the next demonstration. Four rounds of "flash training" were held for approximately 30 faculty and staff members of the school.
The four science activities demonstrated were: Flower Pressing, Wetlands Demonstration, Making Silly Putty and What is a Glacier. Teachers rotated through the different activities and took away with them the theory behind the activity, a description of how to utilize the activity for that grade level, and a handout with instructions and supply lists.
