This science news story highlights a new initiative by the Hubble Space Telescope to image distant galaxies. The program uses gravitational lenses to image galaxies that are otherwise too distant and faint for the telescope to image. The story... (View More) includes information describing how gravitational lenses are similar to optical lenses. The article also includes a description of parallel fields - a set of observations done in tandem with the gravitational lens observations that will result in six additional HUDF-type observations of the sky. Star Witness News is a series of articles, written for students, that are inspired by Hubble Space Telescope press releases. Supplemental education materials include vocabulary, discussion questions and answers, and identifies relevant Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. (View Less)

This activity is about rocket shape and performance. Learners will test a rocket model and predict its motion. They will launch their rocket multiple times, make observations and record the distance it traveled. They will have the opportunity to... (View More) answer a research question by collecting and analyzing data related to finding out the best nose cone length and predicting the motion of their model rockets. The lesson models the engineering design process using the 5E instructional model and includes teacher notes, vocabulary, student journal and reading. (View Less)
This activity is a short engineering design challenge to be completed by individual students or small teams. A real-world problem is presented, designing buildings for hurricane-prone areas, but in a simulated way that works in a classroom, after... (View More) school club, or informal education setting. Students are given simple materials and design requirements, and must plan and build a tower as tall as possible that will hold up a tennis ball while resisting the force of wind from a fan. After the towers are built, the group comes together to test them. If there is time after testing, which can be observational or framed as a contest between teams, students can redesign their towers to improve their performance, or simply discuss what worked well and what didn't in their designs.

This is a lesson about how to plan a mission to explore another world in the Solar System. Learners will discuss the path of a spacecraft traveling between planets, examining the journey from the Earth to Mars as an example. In Activity 1, students... (View More) determine the pros and cons for different ways we can explore another world, either by observing from the Earth or by sending a spacecraft to fly by, orbit, or land on the world. In Activity 2, the students plan a complete mission to explore another world in the Solar System. By the end of the lesson, the students come to understand that what scientists want to learn about an object determines how they plan the mission, but real-life constraints such as cost and time determine what actually can be accomplished.

This is a lesson about living on the Moon. Learners will use cooperative learning skills to design a self-sufficient lunar station.
Can you Show that the Temperature of Air has an Effect on its Weight and its Direction of Vertical Movement?
This activity has two purposes: challenge the learner to develop a procedure for investigating a research question and to learn more about factors affecting the dynamics of air in motion. It demonstrates that warm air and cold air differ in weight... (View More) and this difference affects air's vertical movement in the atmospheric column. Resources provided to students for this challenge include a homemade balance beam made of wood, two paper bags, a desk lamp, paper clips, tape and a thermometer. The resource includes background information, teaching tips and questions to guide student discussion. This is the chapter 8 of Meteorology: An Educator's Resource for Inquiry-Based Learning for Grades 5-9. The guide includes a discussion of learning science, the use of inquiry in the classroom, instructions for making simple weather instruments, and more than 20 weather investigations ranging from teacher-centered to guided and open inquiry investigations.

This is a lesson about robotic exploration of the solar system. Learners will explore the difference between natural and artificial satellites and use images taken by robotic spacecraft and telescopes to gain an understanding of the Earth's place in... (View More) space. Requires the books "Me on the Map" by Joan Sweeney and "My Place in Space" by Robin and Sally Hirst. This is lesson 1 of 16 in the MarsBots learning module. (View Less)
Materials Cost: $1 - $5 per group of students
This is a lesson about simple machines and how they relate to robots. Learners will gain an understanding of simple machines and how they may be used in our everyday lives. Students will also have an opportunity to design a Rube Goldberg Machine of... (View More) their own. This is lesson 10 of 16 in the MarsBots learning module. (View Less)
This is a lesson about robotic exploration of the solar system. Learners will review what they know and what they would like to know, and then revisit their (KWL) chart throughout the MarsBots learning module. This is lesson 9 of 16 in the MarsBots... (View More) learning module. (View Less)

Wait, before you say it, I am in complete agreement that Dirty Harry seems an odd choice to direct Warner Brothers' film adaptation of "Jersey Boys". But much to his and WB's credit, they have brought with them the Broadway cast to reprise their roles on screen, and this first trailer for the film looks interesting. Film adaptations of Broadway musicals are about as reliable as having your college roommate watch your fish while you're away for the weekend. There have been the good ("Chicago", "Mamma Mia"), the bad ("Nine", "The Producers") and then there was "Rock of Ages". But hey, it's Clint and John Lloyd Young is superb as Frankie Valli. The film opens June 6th against "The Fault In Our Stars".

Miguel Madrigal of Sedalia sought entertainment from the Missouri Lottery while doing laundry on June 6 that resulted in a $50,000 prize. Madrigal bought a "5X Crossword" Scratchers ticket at Jiffy Stop Food Mart, 1722 W. Broadway in Sedalia, and scratched it as his clothes were drying. After uncovering the $50,000, he asked for help from longtime companion Maria Quintero.
Madrigal, 40, has been a legal resident for more than 10 years, but he speaks little English. With Maria and a niece acting as interpreters, he explained that enjoys the crossword games because they take a little while to play. He frequently buys Scratchers before his shifts at Tyson Foods in Sedalia.
He remained calm about the experience and refused to make plans for the money "until I have it in my hands." Madrigal said he hid the winning ticket in a phone book through the weekend "because no one would look there."
"5X Crossword" is a $3 game that officially began May 19. Madrigal claimed the first of eight top prizes in the game. More than $10 million in prizes remain. Track prizes remaining for any Missouri Lottery Scratchers game at MOLottery.com.
