This document contains instructions for a mathematical exercise that is purported to surprisingly reveal personal information about the reader. It instructs the reader to: 1) Choose how many times per week they would like to go out for dinner; 2) Multiply that number by 2 and add 5; 3) Multiply the result by 50 and add either 1758 or 1757 depending on if their birthday has passed; 4) Subtract the year they were born. The first digit of the final three digit number reveals the dinner frequency and the last two digits reveal the person's age.

The document summarizes research on using wikis for peer review in a science classroom. It describes a study where students participated in a wiki-based peer review lesson and survey. The results showed that the lesson improved students' opinions of peer review, especially when guidelines were followed. However, it did not broadly change their views. Limitations included a small sample size and lack of repetition in different contexts. Wikis were found to enable constructive, reflective, scaffolding and collaborative learning.
This document provides an overview of the Second Life viewer interface and controls to help new users get started.

This document provides a summary of a virtual tour of the inner solar system including Mercury, Venus, Earth and its moon, and nearby spacecraft. It is presented as a guided tour where the reader clicks on instructions to move their viewpoint in the Celestia solar system simulation software to different locations. At each location, 2-3 sentences provide facts about the object viewed and what can be seen from that vantage point, such as the surface features of planets, orbits of planets and spacecraft, and famous spacecraft exploring the area. The tour explores both celestial objects and humanity's exploration of the inner solar system.

It also discusses challenges such as queue clogging and the importance of industry organizations in responding to barriers to wind energy development.
The document provides guidance for evaluating the EU-UNAWE astronomy awareness programme. It outlines domains of learning including motivation, scientific skills, knowledge, and intercultural attitudes. Evaluation methods are suggested to gather evidence from children and teachers. For children, options include pre-and post-activity drawings, observations during games or activities, and optional surveys. For teachers, a survey is provided. The goal is to demonstrate the programme's impacts in a way that combines data from different locations and activities.
Astronomy curricula for different ages and cultural backgroundsJacekKupras
油
This document outlines astronomy curricula for different age groups and cultural backgrounds developed by EUNAWE Germany. It provides guidelines for teaching astronomy concepts to children ages 4-10 in a developmentally appropriate way that links both mythical and scientific thinking. Younger children ages 4-6 focus on observational skills and classification through stories and pretend play. Children ages 6-8 learn about the earth, sun, moon and planets through models and explanations while inspiring curiosity in astronomy. For ages 8-10, the curriculum emphasizes abstract thinking through hands-on observations, models, explanations and biographies of astronomers while introducing more advanced topics like other solar systems. The overall approach aims to foster interest in science, global citizenship and intercultural understanding.
EU-Universe Awareness uses astronomy to encourage children's interest in science and technology and foster global citizenship. Its Universe in a Box program provides hands-on activities and materials to teach difficult astronomy concepts simply to children ages 4-10. The program aims to help children understand their place in the greater universe through activities on the moon, earth, sun, planets, and constellations while promoting respect for other cultures and environmental stewardship. Universe in a Box uses a modular approach with inquiry-based learning to gradually expand children's worldview.

Curiosity is a car-sized Mars rover launching in 2011 to explore Gale Crater using a variety of scientific instruments. It will characterize the planet's geology and climate, assess biological potential, and prepare for future human exploration. Curiosity will use a sky crane maneuver for the first precise landing on Mars and employ a nuclear power source to investigate rocks and soil with tools including cameras, a laser, spectrometers, and a drill. The rover is expected to operate for one Martian year, relaying data to Earth via orbiters to further understand if Mars could have supported microbial life.
