International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) is this Saturday, October 12th! Explore the interactive map below to see the location of InOMN 2013 events. http://observethemoonnight.org/ International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) is an annual event that is dedicated to encouraging people to ‘look up’ and take notice of our nearest neighbor, the Moon. From looking at the Moon with a naked eye to using the most sensitive telescope, every year on the same day, people from around the world hold events and activities that celebrate our Moon. On this site, you can find information about an InOMN event near you or register your own event. We encourage everyone to join us in the celebration!

#TodayInSTEM, French chemist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin was born in 1763. Vauquelin discovered the elements chromium (Cr) and beryllium (Be). Chromium is a hard, silvery metal used to make stainless steel. Beryllium is used in gears and cogs, particularly in aeroplanes.

On this day in 1969, this happened... July 20, 1969 - Happy Moon Day
Be Groovy Like: Rudolph! - Elaine (Groovy Founder) A Lesson in Believing in Your Kids, and Yourself. I’ve always loved the story of Rudolph… A little different can have many meanings. As educators we’ve all had the different kid, the chip on shoulder, the jokester, the odd ball, the one left out.

NASA - Spot The Station Over Your Backyard. Sign up for email or text message notices hours before the station flies overhead. As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up. http://1.usa.gov/19a04DX
Dreams of Space - Books and Ephemera Non-fiction children's space flight stuff 1945-1975. This book describes the Moon landings, the story of Apollo, what lunar geologists were expecting to find and what is beyond Apollo. The photographs are pretty standard but the section "Beyond Apollo" shows these "wild" ideas....First off : Space Stations of the Future!!! http://bit.ly/195li5Y
Born this day, John Woodward February 24, 1665 in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. At the age of 16, John Woodward became an apprentice to a linen draper in London, and then later he learned about medicine from Dr. Peter Barwick, who was a doctor for King Charles II. While studying medicine, Woodward found a fascination with fossils that eventually led him to his work with plants. In 1699, Woodward published his hydroponics experiments with spearmint. He tested different types of soil mixed with the water, and he learned plants with a less-pure water source grew better than plants grown in purely distilled water. Woodward concluded that certain substances with minerals in the water encouraged plant growth. Fellow STEMists who want to become botanists can be on their way to doing research and investigations through the engineering design process found in our monthly-themed Groovy Lab in a Box. Check out our groovy hydroponics box "Water Works" for more groovy fun for future #botanists! #STEMists do the "E" in #STEM Read more about #hydroponics #OnTheBlog - Evolution of Hydroponics. http://www.groovylabinabox.com/the-evolution-of-hydroponics/ #JohnWoodward #botany #bornthisday
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.
