Help exciting science experiments
The results of fires in space, a planet in a test tube, and other materials studies aboard two Space Shuttle missions will be presented at the National Academy of Sciences on February 10 – 11 in Washington, D.C. The briefing will give top U.S. science advisors an overview of accomplishments by two Marshall Space Flight [...]
National Online Interactive Science Experiments
I am currently studying Chemistry and am in my final year at Oxford University, England. I have undertaken a project to create Online Interactive Science Experiments, experiments based on the web for students at school/college/university. The equipment is based in the chemistry department at Oxford but is controlled through the internet. I have undertaken this [...]
Science experiments for home
Our world is in transition, Plato’s world-of-becoming. For Plato, there had to be another world of fixed points, of certainty. He called this the world-of-forms. A world containing a perfect example of everything on Earth, from jumpers to justice. What are these forms? Well, consider these chairs again. There are many of them and they [...]
Children science experiments
MATERIALISM and the dialectic developed by G. W. F. HEGEL. It is materialist in that it denies transcendence and affirms the ultimate reality of the physical world, beyond which nothing exists. Thus all phenomena, including human behavior, are regarded as having their origins in the material universe. Change is viewed as the result of the [...]
Microgravity Science Results at National Academy
I am looking for science experiments suitable for fourth grade children. An experiment needs to take about 45 minutes (that’s all the time we have with the children), and the materials need to cost less than about $20 for the entire class of 25 children. Also, the children, as fourth graders, are quite hyperactive, hence [...]
Over 100 Science Experiments & Activities
This thread has given rise to several files that I need to establish on my www sites. One file is the Science of Management and a second is a file on science of leadership, and a third file on philosophy. I shyed away from putting the subject of philosophy among my other science files, but [...]
Volcano science experiment
I am looking at Hegel’s philosophical system and trying to nest the true parts of it into one science concept. I do not recognize any science concept that Hegel’s dialectic is suggestive of. Perhaps remotely the charge of electromagnetism. That a positive charge proton calls for a negative charge electron and the synthesis is a [...]
Science Experiments N – Ever Thought About It?
The week-long series of field tests, carried out May 23-30 at Lavic Lake, an ancient lake bed about 175 miles east of Los Angeles, CA, was designed to simulate several weeks of a real Mars rover mission and to test the rover’s ability to drive much greater distances than current rovers. In addition, Rocky [...]
Ideas for science experiments for school children
Materials Science experiments increased the understanding of relationships between the structure, properties, and processing of materials. Biotechnology experiments grew protein crystals of sufficient size and perfection to determine their structure and formation, and to investigate the benefits of microgravity for growing cells and tissues. These investigations brought together government, academia, and industry researchers. USMP-3 comprised [...]
Science Experiments for Kids Grades 2 through 7
We are taught that seeing is believing. The Exploratory in Bristol is a hands on Museum of optical illusions. Children experiment with scientific equipment.. the unexpected. … ..look like wedges.. A simple change of light level makes parallel lines converge. The point for Plato is that seeing is believing but such belief is merely opinion [...]
Online science experiments
I am picking through all the olden philosophers and converting what little truth remains in their philosophy into a true science concept. Some of these may be brand new to the world and others such as Hegel may be amplifications of existing physics concepts. In a very recent post (2 May 1998) to sci.math and [...]
Biology science experiments
RockyÕs travels began on a basalt flow covered with cobblestones resting in a layer of wind-blown silt, which offered a variety of obstacles for the robot to hurdle. Engineers tested some of the roverÕs new features, such as a 12.5-inch manipulator arm with four degrees of freedom. Mounted on the front of the vehicle, the [...]
