Kids
And Science |
Kids and Science is about
helping young people understand what science and technology
really is, what it means in their lives and how important it
will for them in the future. Whatever they do, whatever job
they choose, just about everything will depend on science
and technology. We also help young people to come up with
their own ideas to improve the world around them. They soon
realize that, with their imagination and energy and some
coaching from us, they too can use science and technology to
make life better.
Kids and Science programs are for young people in the
age-group 10-14 years. And in the years that follow, they
also know that Kids and Science is always going to be there
to help them. |
Math
& Science
Gateways To College
The Importance of
Mathematics and Science for Middle School and Junior High
Students |
In
the United States today, mastering mathematics has become
more important than ever. Students with a strong grasp of
mathematics have an advantage in academics and in the job
market. The 8th grade is a critical point in mathematics
education. Achievement at that stage clears the way for
students to take rigorous high school mathematics and
science courses--keys to college entrance and success in
the labor force. However, most 8th and 9th graders lag so
far behind in the classes they take that getting on the
road to college is difficult. |

careers.

SETI@home
is a scientific experiment that will harness the power of hundreds of thousands of
Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You
can participate by running a screensaver program that downloads and analyzes radio
telescope data. There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect
the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth. |
