The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which atoms are combined to form larger atomic nuclei or subatomic particles. These atoms overcome the electrical resistance which keeps them apart. They get close enough to activate a force known as the strong nuclear force. This strong nuclear force allows the atoms to be held or fused together. When two atomic nuclei fuse, they form a larger atomic nucleus.

Sea ice in the Antarctic region, Credit: WIkimedia/Andrew Mandemaker Due to relatively less sunlight because of the tilt of the Earth, the ice-covered polar regions of our planet are the coldest regions on Earth. Of the two polar regions, the continent of Antarctica contains the largest single sheet of ice. This sheet of ice is estimated to be around 14 million square kilometers (5 million square miles) in area and contains about 30 million cubic kilometers (7 million cubic miles) of ice.
