Bill Nye on Teaching Science Like Comedy
Science education should be arranged so that students have more hands-on experience, says Bill Nye.
Redefining Science Education
Inquiry-based science curricula require that students engage in active investigations coached by a teacher. The purpose is to guide students in the understanding of different scientific topics, which can result in attaining the necessary knowledge and practice of how to think like a scientist. We will examine inquiry-based science education from kindergarten through college -- what it should look like and why we should care. Bruce Alberts, Ph.D. (NAS) is a University of California, San Francisco Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics. The former President of the National Academy of Sciences and a respected biochemist with a strong commitment to the improvement of science and mathematics education, Dr. Alberts currently serves as editor-in-chief of the journal Science.

Teaching Science Through Children's Literature Early Childhood - Grade 5 Bangkok Thailand.mp4
Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski science education consultant conducted a two-day teacher training workshop in Bangkok, Thailand for early childhood through year 6 students. The workshop was entitled "Teaching Science Through Children's Literature". Teachers were introduced to approximately 70 children's books that incorporate science concepts. During the two-day training teachers explored: connecting science through children's literature, inquiry science, critical thinking, reflective journaling in science classes, states of matter, patterns and shapes in nature and man-made objects, force, motion, and energy c oncepts. The workshop was hosted by Knowledge Source Institute.

Japanese jr. high radiation education: Science education or brainwashing?
The Japanese Science and Education Ministry (MEXT), is mandating a new curriculum which includes radiation education to be taught at schools across Japan. MEXT doesn't only mandate education standards, they define specific material and teaching techniques in many cases. This video analyzes the new radiation education curriculum. This is the same ministry that is responsible for setting some of the sky-high radiation "safety" standards with regards to the Fukushima disaster. This curriculum is aimed at junior high school and is thus compulsory education that all children in Japan will receive. Japanese junior high school is grades 8-10. Links and references: Japanese Science and Education Ministry courses of study. (This is information on the curriculum that MEXT mandates for Japanese school children - Japanese language only.) www.mext.go.jp Radiation Education Promotion Committee web site (Japanese) www.radi-edu.jp My video on radioactive lantern mantels (which are used as part of the new radiation education material) www.youtube.com

Augmented Reality Sandbox with Real-Time Water Flow Simulation
Video of a sandbox equipped with a Kinect 3D camera and a projector to project a real-time colored topographic map with contour lines onto the sand surface. The sandbox lets virtual water flow over the surface using a GPU-based simulation of the Saint-Venant set of shallow water equations. We (the UC Davis WM Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences, www.keckcaves.org) built this for an NSF-funded project on informal science education. These AR sandboxes will be set up as hands-on exhibits in science museums, such as the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) or Lawrence Hall of Science. Project home page idav.ucdavis.edu The sandbox is based on the original idea shown in this video: www.youtube.com The water flow simulation is based on the work of Kurganov and Petrova, "a second-order well-balanced positivity preserving central-upwind scheme for the Saint-Venant system."

The authors will also discuss their new books. Dawkins recently published The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True, an exploration of the magic of discovery embodied in the practice of science. Written for all age groups, the book moves forward from historical examples of supernatural explanations of natural phenomena to focus on the actual science behind how the world works. Krauss's latest book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing, explains the scientific advances that provide insight into how the universe formed. Krauss tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.

Science Bulletins: Whales Give Dolphins a Lift
Many species interact in the wild, most often as predator and prey. But recent encounters between humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins reveal a playful side to interspecies interaction. In two different locations in Hawaii, scientists watched as dolphins "rode" the heads of whales: the whales lifted the dolphins up and out of the water, and then the dolphins slid back down. The two species seemed to cooperate in the activity, and neither displayed signs of aggression or distress. Whales and dolphins in Hawaiian waters often interact, but playful social activity such as this is extremely rare between species. The latest Bio Bulletin from the Museum's Science Bulletins program presents the first recorded examples of this type of behavior. Visitors to AMNH may view the video in the Hall of Biodiversity until February 9, 2012. Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.

The teachers, children, and the principal loved it.

The song used is "Rockets" by "A Shell In The Pit". Download it here: ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com Stevo was living in The Gambia while he served in the US Peace Corps. No laws were broken to get the Rockets to the School. I mailed them months in advance LEGALLY. They were in a book because the Gambian postal workers have a nasty habit of stealing things they want. Books are pretty good camouflage! We couldn't motivate kids to come out and watch, so we shot the first rocket for a small group of kids. After hearing the rocket and all their friends screaming and laughing they came running. The principal then instructed me to give an impromptu lesson on what rockets are, and why they are used to the whole school. While I gave the lesson, Stevo taught all the teachers how to reload and fire the rockets. In all, we did three shots and left the materials with the teachers for another day. The science teacher in particular was so excited he couldn't ...
