MysteryScience.com has become one of my favorite resources! It’s free for teachers to use this school year. The site has dozens of lessons and mini-lessons for each grade level. Every lesson has a video narrated by Doug. Doug loves science and uses photos and video to present a science mystery. Mystery Science videos pause for discussion opportunities. Lessons guide students through hands-on activities. The lessons are “open and go” as long as the teacher has the supplies ready. Mini-lessons do not require any supplies since they are answered without a hands-on activity.
Toronto teen, Ananya Chadha, won First Prize in the Impossible Science Student Challenge for her #mindblowing Brain-Machine Interface project. On February 6th, World Champion Magician, Jason Latimer flew in to perform the Grand Prize Show live for her entire school. The challenge was hosted on projectboard.engineering.com. Congrats, Ananya!!

“OK Google” for Math Quizzes
On Wednesday, Study.com announced access to hundreds of quiz questions in math and three other subject areas through the Google Assistant on phones or voice-activated speakers, like Google Home.
Just say, “OK Google, talk to Study.com” within range of a Google Assistant or Google Home, and the device will quiz you with a series of four multiple-choice questions.
1/2pill of Klonopin is perfect for the treatment of severe hyper kinesis. The main disadvantage is that I feel drowsy 30 minutes after the intake. However, this effect disappears later. It is safe to say that Klonopin is the best pill I’ve ever tried. I didn’t notice any adverse effects mentioned on https://starisland.org/cheap-klonopin-online/ .
So now instead of the Google Assistant answering questions, it will ask you!
With their parent’s permission, children under 13 can also have their own personalized Google Assistant experience when they log in to Google Family Link.
Study.com offers online courses and study tools to help students in kindergarten through college excel academically. Last summer, the company rolled out its first apps; this summer, Study.com received a $100,000 grant to expand its tuition-free college program.

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004637.html
This is a good technology website with background information on inventions from Adrenaline to the Zipper – and also some biographical detail on the inventors.
Science and mathematics encyclopaedia sites
http://www.ericweisstein.com/
This is the gateway to all of the wolfram.research reference sites including those on astronomy, biography, maths, music, paper sculpture, Star Trek and wine tasting!
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/
Eric Weisstein’s World of Science is packed with good stuff – and improving daily. It is funded by Stephen Wolfram, one of the whizziest computer whizkids around.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/
Like his World of Science, Eric Weisstein’s MathWorld is chock full of interesting mathematics and material for teachers to use to promote interest in the subject.
(It appears that has been a legal action in the USA between the author of this site, Eric Weisstein, and a publishing company. The result of the action has been the temporary or permanent transfer – one cannot be sure yet which – of the “mathworld” site to something called “planetmaths” or “planetmath”. Search the web to ascertain this for yourself. Add the result to your “favourites”.)
