Space Lab Wants You: Your Experiments Could Be Performed on the International Space Station!
Are you a student between the ages of 14-18 who has an idea for an experiment to be done in space? Well the YouTube SpaceLab is calling for submissions by December 7th to decide which bright young scientist will get their project picked!
Check out the entry details and more info here! I’d love to see one of my followers get their science shot into space.

Whoah! Reblog, reblog! Every high school science teacher and student needs to see this!

“Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and theVerizon Foundation have announced the launch of a new national contest for middle schools designed to help renew the teaching of civic engagement. The contest, Civic Impact Challenge, involves using iCivics (an online education project that O’Connor spearheaded) to teach students civics, encourage them to learn about their rights and responsibilities as citizens, and learn and understand the workings of the U.S. government. The Civic Impact Challenge contest is open to classrooms (grades 5-12) across the country. Classes participating in the contest can earn “impact points” by playing any of fourteen civics games that are part of the iCivics curriculum. Games cover such topics as civil rights, how a bill becomes a law, and the role of local government. The class that earns the most impact points between October 3 and November 30, 2011, will win a VGo telepresence robot and receive a virtual visit from O’Connor. After the contest, students can donate their earned impact points to benefit a variety of community projects run by other youth, connecting their classroom civic education to real-world civic participation.” This looks so cool — I wish I still had my students right now. You all will just have to do it instead and I’ll live vicariously.
