Measure me up! A cross-curricular and multicultural approach to STEM through measurements

Scientix

To do so, every partner country decided to share an area of expertise and design hands- on activities, so the students could explore areas that traditionally are not covered by the curricula in Secondary Education, such as architecture, astronomy and cultural heritage history. They participated in a workshop about physics and chemistry.

Examining the extremely small

Futurum

“Nanoscientists manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, and thus nanoscience merges physics, chemistry, materials science and biology,” explains Susanne. Nanoscience goes beyond these traditional borders, which is why CeNS strives to bring together researchers from physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine.”

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I was especially interested in meteorology and astronomy – I love everything to do with the sky and weather. Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.
