World Environment Day is June 5th. I posted this article from Catherine Ross, Ask a Tech Teacher contributor, a year ago and it’s worth repeating. She has great suggestions on how to celebrate with children and students in a way that shows how to be responsible stewards for the only planet we have. I think you’ll enjoy her article: We live in a millennium where technology has disrupted many of the traditional systems and ways.

Seattle, WA Stem cells are the basic form of cells that can become other types of cells in the body. Specialized cells, like brain cells, skin cells, and blood cells, can be derived from stem cells. These special kinds of cells are being explored for their potential in treating incurable diseases. There are 2 main kinds of stem cells: adult stem cells, and embryonic stem cells.

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.

—Aurora, IL The field of materials science concerns the creation and advancement of new materials, especially solids. Though a somewhat underrepresented field in popular culture in comparison with fields such as computer science, physics, or biology, it has nevertheless contributed greatly to modern society. One of the field’s best discoveries is lightweight bulletproof materials.

– New York, NY Oxybenzone, a chemical in sunblock, protects users against UV rays but may have a negative effect on the environment. Researchers have been investigating sea anemones and mushroom corals that are exposed to oxybenzone and UV light and turn the oxybenzone into a toxin. Algae living nearby can soak up the toxin and lessen the extent of their damages, but coral reefs that don’t have as much algae become more vulnerable.

WRITTEN BY CONNOR WHITE. What is quantum computing? Quantum computing refers to computers that solve complex problems that high performance computers, or supercomputers, can’t solve. Quantum computers can resolve the laws of quantum theory and other problems involving elementary particles and microscopic physics. When working with atoms and subatomic particles, there are many subtle variables that classical computers are not able to pick up and complex associations that they cannot handle.
