How Close Could I Get To The Sun And Survive? http://bit.ly/16wIqsO
Life before PowerPoint. #TBT NASA scientists with their board of calculations in 1961, LIFE magazine. Before the days of computers, employees at NASA would have to go about conveying their knowledge in a much more laborious way: chalk and board. As for this photograph, these are general equations of motion, so nothing that you would not have in a printed sheet of paper. There are no “calculations” in that board, just reference equations. To be fair it was the middle of the Space Race, they would not publish anything other than generic equations in Life magazine. Before the development of electronic computers, the term “computer” referred to people, not machines. It was a job title, designating someone who performed mathematical equations and calculations by hand. For a complex equation the prominent scientists of NASA would have “math parties”. Everyone would master one part of the equation. Then the first guy would do his part and hand it off to the next guy and so on. (Credit: J. R.

Be Groovy Like: Rudolph! - Elaine (Groovy Founder) A Lesson in Believing in Your Kids, and Yourself. I’ve always loved the story of Rudolph… A little different can have many meanings. As educators we’ve all had the different kid, the chip on shoulder, the jokester, the odd ball, the one left out.

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
