Today Is Groovy #PeriodicTableDay! Dmitri Mendeleev - Father Of The Periodic Table A Russian Chemist
Today is groovy #PeriodicTableDay! Dmitri Mendeleev - Father of the Periodic Table A Russian chemist and #STEMist. He formulated the Periodic Law, created his own version of the periodic table of elements, and used it to correct the properties of some already discovered elements and also to predict the properties of eight elements yet to be discovered. "I saw in a dream a table where all elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper, only in one place did a correction later seem necessary." - Mendeleev, as quoted by Inostrantzev After him was named mendelevium, which is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Md (formerly Mv) and the atomic number 101. It is a metallic radioactive transuranic element in the actinide series, usually synthesized by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles. A large lunar impact crater Mendeleev that is located on the far side of the Moon, as seen from the Earth, also bears the name of the scientist. #PeriodicTable #DmitriMendeleev #Mendeleev

"Blowing in the Wind" - GROOVY SNEAK PEEK! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Count down to "Blowing in the Wind" - Groove on over to our website then click JOIN NOW! to do the "E" in STEM! Engineering Design Challenge: You are a groovy mechanical engineer who is inspired by the story of a young boy from Malawi, who, at fourteen years old, battled through extreme poverty to build a series of windmills from scratch that could generate electricity for his village – a luxury enjoyed by only 2 percent in Malawi. Using only the materials in your Groovy Lab in a Box, can you design and build a windmill which can fetch a pail of grooviness for those in need? Blowing in the Wind - Engineering Design Process During your Engineering Design Process, you will design and build several different kinds of groovy windmills. Explore and investigate forces and motion, potential and kinetic energy associated with windmills, various parts of a windmill, how different blade designs affect performance and how energy is transferred from wind into usable mechanical energy and much, much more. #STEMists do the "E" in #STEM! Engineering Design Challenge in every groovy box!
Check out the latest Martin Jetpack prototype P12 – doesn’t it look awesome! The Martin Jetpack can take off from a small space, so is easy to deploy anywhere. It is easy to learn to fly, has an automated hover function, and is expected to be able to be flown in reasonable weather conditions.

Douglas Adams on leaving the planet. An English writer, humorist, and dramatist, Adams is best known as the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which originated in 1978 as a BBC radio comedy before developing into a "trilogy" of five books hat sold more than 15 million copies in his lifetime and generated a television series, several stage plays, comics, a computer game, and in 2005 a feature film. Adams's contribution to UK radio is commemorated in The Radio Academy's Hall of Fame #humor #DouglasAdams #space #NASA
Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
