Science teachers use thinking routines to encourage students to think critically about big ideas. When students learn how to extend their reasoning using thinking moves, they are challenged to go below the surface and build a deeper understanding of scientific ideas and STEM principles. When classroom requirements go beyond memorizing facts and vocabulary, our students are free to wonder and to ask and answer their own questions.

Aurora, IL With new devices in daily life, buzzwords like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and neural networks have become ubiquitous. Despite their overuse in popular culture, neural networks are valuable additions to any algorithm focused on making informed decisions. Despite seeming quite complex, their core procedures are crucial for future machines.

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.

Humans have always been fascinated by the sky and the stars. In every stage of human history, we have looked up and marveled at the great expanse. And thus, for the longest time, humans have strived to know more about this vastness around us. Even though anybody may be mesmerized by the beauty and the size of the universe, there have been people who have dedicated their entire lives to studying the minute details of this ever-expanding universe.

Jessup, MD Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers). A single human hair is about 80,000 to 100,000 nm wide. The nanoscale is 1000 times smaller than the microscale. Materials display unique properties that impact their physical, chemical, and biological behavior at the nanoscale. Nanotechnology includes the subjects of physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and the full range of engineering disciplines.
