Thurs., June 11, 2009 - Reeko's Mad Scientist Lab

---------Forwarded Message--------
Hi! It's Tuesday, October 28, 2008 and time for Science at ClickSchooling!

Recommended Website:
Reeko's Mad Scientist Lab
http://www.reekoscience.com/

Age Range: All (There's something for everyone here - young children and
non-readers will need assistance and supervision.)

ClickSchooling subscriber Leslie DeHart recommended this website that is an
archive of fun and fascinating science experiments that will bring out the
"mad scientist" in everyone. She wrote:

"I think you've featured this website before, but it has been updated and
improved. One of the best features is a section where you can choose the
experiments that you want to do by subject (for the week or an entire
semester), and it creates a printable shopping list of the materials you
will need. (Note: Print your list before you leave the website, because once
you close your browser or leave the virtual Lab, the supply list will be
cleared out.)"

ClickSchooling did feature this site in June of 2002, when it occupied an
entirely different url. Leslie is right, the site has undergone a complete
renovation and added lots of new content.

When you get to the site, you'll see a brief welcome message and some
featured experiments below it. You can jump right in and start clicking
around on topics of interest, or use the menus at the top of the screen or
on the left side of the screen to navigate the site.

To get right to the heart of the site, click on EXPERIMENTS. A new page
opens that allows you to search for experiments by name, category,
popularity, and level of difficulty for the following topics:

*Atomic/Electric
*Chemical Reactions
*Chemistry
*Cohesion
*Floatation
*Geometry
*Inertia/Momentum
*Light
*Motion/Energy
*Pressure
*Sound

Click on an experiment and a new page opens with a complete description of
the experiment, instructions on how to conduct it, and a list of the
materials you will need. You also get an explanation of the scientific
principles that govern the experiment.

From the traditional experiments of science fairs such as making a volcano
or a lemon battery, to more unusual projects like making a cloud in a bottle
or starting a fire with water - your whole family will have fun learning
from the science activities at this site.

Look for hidden science tips throughout the site by clicking on icons and
images on various pages.

Don't miss the "Fun Stuff" section where you will find puzzles, a contest,
fun activities using encrypted messages, games, and a science pop quiz.

Bookmark this site for access to science curricula year 'round!

the music of "Chariots of Fire" - and much more.

* The Swine Channel - Watch a kid-narrated video of pigs on a farm - the
kids' laughter is sure to make you smile. :)

The videos are somewhat informative but mostly just a whole lot of fun -
exactly like most county fairs. Enjoy!

Note: I was unable to review all of the videos on the site. In addition,
there is much more content (aside from the videos) on the website.
Therefore, parents (as always) should preview the website and supervise
exploration of it.

life science professionals who are learning 3D visualization techniques.
These materials are divided into the following sections: "Showcase",
"Learning", "Toolkit", and "News". The "Showcase" area contains animations
listed by scientific area or individual animator or design studio.
Currently, there are well over fifty animations offered here which
demonstrate everything from cell invasions to DNA replication. Next up are
the visualization tutorials (located in the "Learning" area), which allow
users to learn about the techniques used in making such lovely animations.
Visitors can browse these tutorials by skill level, software type, or topic
area. Before leaving the site, visitors should also check out the site

Stereoviews of the French Second Empire, ca. 1855-1870
http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/History/subcollections/StereoFranceAbout.html

Emperor Napoleon III cast a great shadow over France during his reign in the
middle of the 19th century, and he brought a tremendous amount of change to
the nation. Not all of that change was welcome, and some of it took the form
of massive urban projects, such as the rebuilding of Paris. This lovely
online collection created by the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections
group brings together 201 remarkable stereoviews from the Second Empire
period. For those who might not be acquainted with such matters, stereoviews
are created through the use of stereoscopy, which is a technique used to
create the illusion of depth by presenting two images to the eyes. Each
image is taken from a slightly different perspective, and the resulting
images, when viewed through a stereoscope, appear three-dimensional.
Visitors to the site can browse through the images at their leisure, and
they will find documentation of Notre Dame, the Arc De Triomphe, and the
Boulevard de Strasbourg here. Those persons with an interest in urban
infrastructure and the creation of modern Paris will find much to admire and
enjoy here. [KMG]

Cultivating Demand for the Arts: Arts Learning, Arts Engagement, and
State Arts Policy [pdf]
http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2008/RAND_MG640.pdf

How can governments stimulate interest and demand in the arts? This
compelling report from the RAND Corporation takes a close look at how well
institutions in the United States cultivate demand for the arts and whether
they should make this a higher priority item in the future. Authored by
Laura Zakaras and Julia F. Lowell, this 151-page report was released in
September 2008 and it contains six chapters that include "The Support
Infrastructure for Youth Arts Learning" and "Enabling Individual Engagement
with Works of Art". In the report the authors argue, "arts policies have
long focused on supporting supply and expanding access while neglecting
demand, which calls for cultivating the capacity of individuals to have
engaging experiences with the arts." By the conclusion of their work, the
authors conclude that "greater investment in comprehensive arts learning,
particularly for the young is the most effective strategy for building
demand." It's an intriguing proposition, and one that will be of great
interest to arts administrators, policy analysts, and education specialists.

The Food Allergy & Anaphlyaxis Network [pdf]
http://www.foodallergy.org/

If you have a young child, you may be aware of the rising concerns about
food allergies. This public health concern was well documented this week by
the release of a new report from the National Center for Health Statistics,
which look at a wide range of recent studies, including the National
Hospital Discharge Survey and the National Health Interview Study. Overall,
the researchers found that the number of children with food allergies has
increased approximately 18% in the last ten years. Among those foods causing
allergies, milk eggs, peanuts, walnuts, fish, and shellfish were some of the
items that can bring on reactions such as a rash, wheezing, or vomiting.
Researchers are quick to point out that they aren't entirely certain as to
why American children seem to have higher incidences of allergies. Dr. Hugh
Sampson, director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai
Hospital, commented, "This seems to be primarily a phenomenon of Westernized
countries, among people who have our kind of lifestyle and our kind of diet.
You don’t see similar things in countries in Asia or in Africa." [KMG]

The first link will whisk users away to a news article from this Wednesday's
USA Today about these recent findings. The second link leads to a like-
minded piece from Daniel J. DeNoon, reporting for WebMD Health News. Moving
on, the third link leads to the full text of the data brief from the
National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) on the rise in documented food
allergies in American children. The fourth link will take visitors to a site
designed for parents of children with allergies. Here, visitors will find
high-quality fact sheets, support forums, and allergy alerts. The fifth link
leads to the homepage of the Food Allergy Research and Resource Program
(FARRP), which is based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This site is
another fine resource for people with questions about food allergies, and it
features include an allergen database and a selection of informative videos.
The last link will take users to the homepage of The Food Allergy &
Anaphylaxis Network, which contains information for those newly diagnosed
with food allergies and information about their advocacy work. [KMG]
