The Black Hole Pictured

STEMe

Charlotte, NC. A picture is worth a thousand words, but in the case of pointing our gaze towards outer space, a glance could hold a million stars. Whether we’re picturing the earth or outer space there’s no doubt the immortalization of a photograph has had a world-changing impact on what we know and what we can learn from it. Many great scientists and physicists such as John Michell, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking progressed society’s understanding of the gravitational forces that are blac

An email I wrote to my AP Physics 1 class after their second problem set

Jacobs Physics

We didn't do great - but we never do, on this problem set. The two questions I'm addressing here are based on the graph below, where they were asked to calculate an instantaneous speed at t= 4 s, and where they were asked what familiar object might perform this motion. Please read on, 'cause there's an extra credit word buried here. 1. The instantaneous speed is given by the slope of a tangent line.

Can Brain Science Actually Help Make Your Training & Teaching Stick?

Speaker: Andrew Cohen, Founder & CEO of Brainscape

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.

The Science Behind Linguistics

STEMe

New York, NY Although it is pretty evident that languages are a vital form of communication worldwide, it is not expected that one explores how language goes beyond what society expects. Looking more into linguistics and its various benefits, the general term can often be known as “the scientific study of language” and delves into the specifics behind communicative codes, especially human behaviors that still leave scientists an abundance of questions (e.g., the language of immigrants, how bilin

The Great Barrier Reef

STEMe

Coral reefs are underwater cities bursting with color and all different species of fish and coral. I compare coral reefs to cities because each fish and other marine animals have their role, similar to how each person in a town has a job. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the earth, the largest of these bustling coral reefs is in Australia.

Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia

STEMe

Mississauga, ON. Hyperglycemia comes from the Greek hyper (high) and glykys (sweet). As the name suggests, this condition is characterized by high blood sugar. It is the result of little insulin or when the body cannot produce this hormone to a proper extent. Insulin enables cells to absorb and use glucose, a simple sugar and ensures that it is stored in the liver as glycogen, the stored form of glucose.
