Indoor STEM Activities for Kids

STEM Sport

As winter begins, keeping kids both physically and mentally active becomes a challenging task for parents and educators. Focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities can be an excellent strategy to keep students engaged in winter.

Behind the screens: the crystals that flow like rain down a windowpane

Futurum

AKHSHAY’S PHYSICAL EXPERIMENTS. This not only helps scientists understand what is going on behind the scenes, and why, but also helps to enable the physics to be applied in technology in the future. He starts by considering some basic principles of physics – that the momentum and energy of a system are always conserved.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

Building on an earlier interest in space and spacecraft , I’d gotten very interested in physics, and was trying to read everything I could about it. There were several shelves of physics books at the local bookstore. The other books I’d read had all basically said “physics works like this”. The lambda hyperon.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

The history of physics might make one think that numbers would be a necessary part of the structure of any fundamental theory of our physical universe. But the models of physics suggested by our Physics Project have no intrinsic reference to numbers. And some places where we can expect the concept of numbers to be useful.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

And there was something else: the computer system I’d built was a language that I’d realized (in a nod to my experience with reductionist physical science) would be the most powerful if it could be based on principles and primitives that were as minimal as possible.
