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.

Basic Eclipse Computation It’s taken millennia to get to the point where it’s possible to accurately compute eclipses. But now—as a tiny part of making “everything in the world” computable—computation about eclipses is just a built-in feature of the Wolfram Language. The core function is SolarEclipse. By default, SolarEclipse tells us the time of the next solar eclipse from now: It can also tell us the next solar eclipse from any time more than 10,000 years in the past and future: By default, So

Written by: Reagan Flowers, Ph.D. As Spring approaches, standardized testing is on the horizon. These tests can be stressful for students, educators, and parents alike. In light of that, this month, I’m looking at some ways this testing could be failing students, particularly students of color. Testing Focuses on Limited Subjects Standardized testing primarily focuses on math and English.

Rubisco plays an important role in one of the most important processes of life: photosynthesis, which occurs only in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Photosynthesis is divided into two different reactions: light-dependent and light-independent. Light-independent reactions have a process called the Calvin Cycle, which is where Rubisco does its work. The goal of the Calvin Cycle is to take the products from light-dependent reactions–NADPH and ATP–and CO2 from the air to produce G3P, which becomes
