Students take what they've learned through chapter one, and develop an app of their own design that uses the board to output information.

New Edition! The goal of this book is to provide an Informatics-oriented introduction to programming. The primary difference between a computer science approach and the Informatics approach taken in this book is a greater focus on using Python to solve data analysis problems common in the world of Informatics.

In this video from Science City, Shaundra Bryant Daily, an electrical engineer, describes a software program she developed to help girls reflect on their emotions, and how her two passionsí_í_íŹscience and danceí_í_íŹare connected.

This performance assessment aligns with NGSS performance 3.ESS3.1 and is intended to be used as an interim assessment. These assessments can either be used summatively, as an end of learning activity, or formatively, utilizing student responses to identify next instructional steps.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Cytotoxic T lymphocytes such as T and NK cells are critically involved in the immune response to cancer development. Their cell-surface receptors coordinate to precisely regulate their function, and dysregulation of these molecules has been linked to immune escape. A recent study identified molecules targeting one of these receptors: T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT). TIGIT is a novel immune checkpoint molecule involved in T and NK cell anergy. Binding with its ligand, PVR, can induce immune tolerance, allowing cancer cells to escape immune surveillance. To facilitate the design of inhibitors targeting TIGIT/PVR binding, researchers examined the binding interaction in silico. Their results suggested that the loops of PVR undergo a major rearrangement upon binding to TIGIT. The potential residues critical for the TIGIT/PVR interaction were discovered, and simulation analysis identified four PVR mutants with enhanced affinity to TIGIT..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Astronaut Scott Tingle talks to us about sounds in space and then "jammed” with host Marty.

Elementary Science and Integrated Subjects is a statewide Clime Time collaboration among ESD 123, ESD 105, and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Development of the resources is in response to a need for research- based science lessons for elementary teachers that are integrated with English language arts, mathematics and other subjects such as social studies. The template for Elementary integration can serve as an organized, coherent and research-based roadmap for teachers in the development of their own NGSS aligned science lessons.  Lessons can also be useful for classrooms that have no adopted curriculum as well as to serve as enhancements for  current science curriculum. The EFSIS project brings together grade level teams of teachers to develop lessons or suites of lessons that are 1) focused on grade level Performance Expectations, and 2) leverage ELA and Mathematics Washington State Learning Standards.

CS Unplugged is a collection of free teaching material that teaches Computer Science through engaging games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around. 

This video provides an overview of how computer models work. It explains the process of data assimilation, which is necessary to ensure that models are tied to reality. The video includes a discussion of weather models using the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5) model and climate models using the MERRA (Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications) technique.

Students will use a blockly system (drag and drop code) to write programs.  Students will be learning the conecpts that computer scientists use every day and are the foundation for computer science.

Welcome to Volume Two of the Crystal Ball series: Foundations for Data Science! I titled the first volume “Introduction to Data Science” because it led you through a dip-your-toes-in-the-water experience. You took a brief tour through the various elements in this diverse field and got a feel for what it was all about. Since you’re still reading, this means you’re still interested, and ready to explore the next level. In Foundations, we’ll solidify your growing knowledge so that you have a firm base on which to build everything else. Future volumes in this series will cover applications, advanced techniques, and some special data types that require special treatment. But it all ultimately rests on the skill set you’ll have built in Volumes One and Two of this series.

In this activity, students simulate how light collected from a space object converts into binary data and reconverts into an image of the object. A pencil and paper activity demonstrates how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space. This activity is part of Unit 4 in the Space Based Astronomy guide that contains background information, worksheets, assessments, extensions, and standards.

This video segment adapted from A Science Odyssey considers modern technology's impact on society.

This video segment adapted from the Space Telescope Science Institute shows what the Hubble telescope found when it stared at a single, nearly empty spot in the sky for 10 days in 1995. The unexpected result was a picture of a multitude of galaxies stretching into the distance.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

Calculate the labor force participation rate and the unemployment rate
Explain hidden unemployment and what it means to be in or out of the labor force
Evaluate the collection and interpretation of unemployment data

Minecraft Pi is a free version of Minecraft that is available as a part of the Raspbian operating system. The world of Minecraft Pi can be changed using the Python programming language and this activity will introduce you to the basics.
