STEM Engagement: NASA Earth Science Content and SciGirls Seven StrategiesSarah A. Crecelius
There are some challenging aspects of earth science. For instance, certain inaccessible parts of the Earth, like its inner core, are impossible to observe directly. Scientists need to be creative about finding ways to deduce information about these remote regions, such as by monitoring seismic wave...
it will be years before the process is ready to be used to produce drugs for human consumption, researchers say. Roslin’s chickens join a similar effort using stem cells developed by Origen Therapeutics. Regardless of which “biofactory” delivers drugs first, a new medicinal use for the vener...
the successful application of ambient noise and groundwater monitoring to assess human-impacted ecosystems. This is also being explored with local Khoisan representatives and rural communities through Citizen Science. Our goal is to publicly share and disseminate the scientific and cultural data, through...
I’ve heard this phrase, “Why should I worry? I have nothing to hide,” more often than I am comfortable with. This is a clear declaration of innocence with an assumption that the only reason one would have to worry about any sort of repercussions is if they committed a crime. But ...
11 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Lesson Ideas For Every Subject 11 3R projects that can be easily implemented in the K-12 classroom in subjects such as math, language arts, civics and science. Ghost Forests What’s a ghost forest? Sadly, it’s the dead remnants of once-thriving ecosystems that...
Learn what earth and space science is and how that fits into the wider category of STEM subjects. Take a quiz and see how well you understand the...
In Revisiting the Future of Chemical Engineering, where some of the profession’s thought leaders share their visions of the future of ChE, data science and biotechnology (among others) are identified as strong forces shaping the future of ChE; however, again, space is not considered [11]. ...
But try on this tree for size: The General Sherman giant sequoia is the largest known stem tree by volume on the planet. The trunk of the tree contains slightly more than 52,500 cubic feet (1,486.6 cubic meters) of material. 43. A huge fungus is the largest living thing (Image ...
(e.g. species ofHebeloma,InocybeandLaccaria)appeared . within the first four years of planting and were produced progressively further from the stem with time (Fig. 6.24). They were succeeded and eventually replaced by species ofLactarius,LeccinumandRussula.Comparable sequences have been described ...
