planning some of our Science curriculum, I couldn't help but find so many great human body learning activities for kids.
An intelligent material that learns by physically changing itself, similar to how the human brain works, could be the foundation of a completely new generation of computers. Radboud physicists working toward this so-called "quantum brain" have made an important step. They have demonstrated that they can pattern and interconnect a network of single atoms, and mimic the autonomous behavior of neurons and synapses in a brain. They report their discovery in Nature Nanotechnology on 1 February.
Researchers at MIT and Texas Instruments have developed a new type of radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that is virtually impossible to hack.
The cutting-edge technology called optogenetics may offer a workaround to partially restore vision even after the retina’s light-sensing rods and cones die.
Computers are an essential part of everyone's day-to-day lives and are becoming more important all the time. Can you imagine living without a computer, the Internet or your smart phone for even just one day? It would be almost impossible! We've put together this list of computer vocabulary because these days, English language learners have to know how to talk about computers for both their personal and professional lives. People use computers constantly and even more so than for other fields, English is the dominant language for subjects such as computer science, programming and web design. In this lesson, you will learn all of the vocabulary you need to speak about computers, technology, and the Internet in English.

This is a clip from a show that highlighted some of Ben Franklin’s science experiments. The host is actor/comedian Kevin Pollak. Here we are demonstrating one of Franklin’s favorite gadgets called a Leyden jar. It was invented in 1745 by Pieter van Musschenbroek and it became an important invention for studying electricity. A Leyden jar is …
Forget steel, forget diamond and even forget graphene – “nuclear pasta” may be the strongest material in the universe. This strange substance is formed in the intense pressures inside neutron stars, and researchers have now run computer simulations to test just how strong it is.

Researchers from MIT have devised a method that enables nanoscale microscopy of biological tissue by embedding samples in a polymer that swells when water is added. This allows specimens to be physically magnified, and then imaged at a much higher resolution than normal.
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS BASIS: Beginning in Grade 6, the Reading standards for Informational Texts, the Reading History, and Reading Science and Technology standards call for students to build their capacities to “provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.” This competency is an outgrowth of the earlier standards which ask students to determine main ideas, provide summaries of details, and explain how they support the main ideas. Thus, the summarizing standards beginning in the six grade emphasize students growing their abilities to objectively, accurately, and efficiently summarize texts’ main ideas and the major reasons or ideas that support the main idea. While summarizing is but one small aspect of a student’s total reading skill-set, students often struggle to keep their summaries devoid of their opinions or biases, struggle to identify the over-arching main idea(s) of texts, and often confuse minor supporting details and evidence with major reasons and ideas that support the main idea. WHAT IS INCLUDED: Teacher plans, student reference sheet and assignment guide, sample article summary (with accompanying article), and Newspaper Article Summary Rubric are all included! THE BENEFITS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT: Students can gain confidence in themselves as readers, writers, and students as a result of learning and practicing these summaries. Doing repeated summaries enables students to be become stronger readers. Repeatedly summarizing newspaper and magazine articles transfers into an improved ability to read informational texts of all sorts for other classes. THE CHALLENGES OF THIS ASSIGNMENT: The main challenge for teachers with this assignment is in choosing how to use it! There are so many good possibilities that it can be overwhelming. Writing article summaries can be a stand-alone activities or first-steps in research projects or gathering information for more complex compositions. These assignments can be structured so that teachers do not have to review each summary thoroughly in an attempt to mark everything that is wrong. Rather, if a teacher makes article summaries a regular part of the class work, each student’s summary can be used to set “next time” goals as an area in which that individual student could improve his/her writing. By doing so, teachers can focus their grading on looking for evidence of progress toward the individualized goals and assigning a grade for that progress (as opposed assigning a grade based on a single criterion-reference standard against which all students are judged). This has the dual benefit of (1) encouraging students to do more reading and writing without worry of a penalty for not being as advanced as other students and (2) not requiring a huge amount of grading for the instructor.

We work hard to advance the oat to its fullest potential so we can help people reach their fullest potential. Of course, we also take pride in making the best darn oatmeal every morning.
A high-resolution bioprinting process has been developed: Cells can now be embedded in a 3D matrix printed with micrometer precision -- at a printing speed of one meter per second, orders of magnitude faster than previously possible. Tissue growth and the behavior of cells can be controlled and investigated particularly well by embedding the cells in a delicate 3D framework. This is achieved using so called 'bioprinting' techniques.

Photo © 2011 K Tempest Bradford, Flickr iPods, cell phones, e-readers, computers, and other technological devices are all the rage these days. Since so many people are changing the way they read books and magazines, as well as how they do research, etc. - opting to read from a screen instead of from paper sources - many have wondered if reading comprehension is being affected. The creators of Education.com have designed an experiment to explore this very thing. The great thing is, most of the materials you need are readily available! The experiment calls for 60 participants in total, as well as access to a selected book in paperback, e-reader, and computer format. You'll need to create a test to give all participants and the test averages will give you an idea if reading comprehension was affected by the reading format. For the full project, be sure to visit Education.com!
