Education Ride 365: Better Understand The World Around You!



Education Ride 365 leaves little opportunity for watching television.  That is not such a bad thing!  Nonetheless, a few nights ago I caught a NOVA special on PBS that may have taught me more about Physics and Chemistry in two-hours than I had ever learned before in total.  Granted, I never took either of those two classes in high school or college, but this special struck me as particularly engaging, visual, and accessible.  It seemed valuable viewing for any young person....really, for any person.



I decided to share it here in hopes you'd pass it along to Science teachers you know, show it to your own kids, or learn from it yourself!  The entire show can be viewed free of charge here!  There is also information on that page about ordering a DVD copy.

CHECK IT OUT!  PASS IT ON!

Looking Through The Night For The Light!



If you are fascinated by our Earth, you will likely enjoy these October 2011 time lapse sequences from the International Space Station!  If you teach about the Earth...or know someone who does...you may find this worth passing along!

I listed the sequences (which are not numbered or otherwise labeled in the video), credit, and link for more information below.  While the visuals are simply amazing, I had to turn off the somewhat superfluous audio by request of my ears.

#9 may be my favorite.

Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS from Michael König on Vimeo.

1. Aurora Borealis Pass over the United States at Night
2. Aurora Borealis and eastern United States at Night
3. Aurora Australis from Madagascar to southwest of Australia
4. Aurora Australis south of Australia
5. Northwest coast of United States to Central South America at Night
6. Aurora Australis from the Southern to the Northern Pacific Ocean
7. Halfway around the World
8. Night Pass over Central Africa and the Middle East
9. Evening Pass over the Sahara Desert and the Middle East
10. Pass over Canada and Central United States at Night
11. Pass over Southern California to Hudson Bay
12. Islands in the Philippine Sea at Night
13. Pass over Eastern Asia to Philippine Sea and Guam
14. Views of the Mideast at Night

Apple App Spotlight: Fly Around Our Solar System For $2.99



If you know anyone who teaches about the Solar System, you should let them know about "Solar Walk."  What a teaching tool!

In fact, if you are a parent this is a good one to share with any young person.  It is a fascinating view of our Solar System for only $2.99!

Visit the App Store to purchase it.  (I am in no way affiliated with this software developer or company.)  It is just cool!

Photo Of The Day: Humans Still Pushing The Limits Of Space Exploration

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Photo Of The Day: A few days ago I posted about NASA's success in getting the first ever spacecraft to orbit our solar system's closest planet to the Sun---Mercury. 

This is the first picture from that spacecraft.  Many more will follow.  This picture shows parts of the planet never seen by humans.  Humans continue to expand their horizons!

You can appreciate the photo so much better by looking at the larger image available by clicking here!


For the full story at CNN.com, click the image above!

Pass It On Education Content: Way Out There, Man!

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
The closest planet to the Sun is Mercury.  For the first time ever, humans (NASA) now have a satellite in orbit around this hot planet.  It took over six years for the "Messenger" satellite to travel 4.9 BILLION miles!  "Are we there yet???"

Pass It On Education Content: It Only Happens Every Twenty Years--->This Weekend A Full Moon Will Be As Close To The Earth As It Gets!

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
The moon will appear larger and brighter this weekend.  Its orbit varies up to 31,000 miles from its closest location to Earth---the perigee--- to its furthest point---the apogee.  Even this weekend, as close as the moon ever gets to Earth, it is still 211,600 miles away!

Here are a few quotes from the CNN story that you can access by clicking the image below:

"Saturday's full moon will be a super 'perigee moon' -- the biggest in almost 20 years. This celestial event is far rarer than the famed blue moon, which happens once about every two-and-a-half years."

"The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993"

Pass It On Education Tools: You Can't Imagine How In-Depth This Weather Site Is.....Unless You Look!

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
After a few days for spring break, it is back to business!  There are a few really neat things I'd like to share with you today.  If you love Science, you will love today's "Check It Out!  Pass It On!" posts!

We'll start with one of the most interactive information sites I know of on the net.  "WeatherSpark is a website dedicated to making in-depth weather information easily accessible.It does that well!  The graphs are remarkably interactive.  This is a fun site!



The image below is a tab titled "Reports."  This is super cool.  Here is how they describe it:

"You can now get in-depth weather reports for any location on earth and any time of year. The report aims to answer basic questions such as "what is the weather like on a typical day". This is useful if you're for example planning a trip and would like to know what to expect from the weather where you're there."

Actually, they understate how detailed these summary reports are!

Photo Of The Day: Space Shuttle & International Space Station Silhouetted Against The Sun

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Photo Of The Day: This is an incredible picture!  The description of the photo is worth the quick read.  Click either image below to access the story at NPR.org.

(The photographer)..."obtained optimal viewing locations from the website Heavens-Above, which tracks astronomical sighting opportunities for astronomers."

"If I was 500 feet more to the south, I would have missed it," he explained.

Pass It On Education Content: Humans Creating Heat Hotter Than The Core Of Our Sun

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Science and math teachers will likely enjoy this article.  Can you imagine that scientists in Europe are heating particles up to a mind-blowing 4 Trillion Degrees!  That is hotter than the core of the sun!

There are some fascinating numbers and facts in this article that are likely to catch the attention of young people.
