Minimal Posters - Muslim Scientists Who Changed The World.

Honoring the contributions of Muslim scientists from history to the modern era, with this always-awesome collection from Hydrogene.

Our Solar System’s Fellow Inhabitants … as imagined by pulp fiction artist Frank R. Paul in 1940. Check out the rest of the collection here, they are pretty awesome.

For the record, I do not recommend removing your space helmet while on Venus, lest your face dissolve during a sulphuric acid rainstorm.

Super cool examples for my science fiction unit!

We have buddy reading every Friday morning :3

So here’s all the reasons why hated today:

• The boy who sits right next to my desk was itching his head all day. I asked him if he was okay. He told me he might have lice, but it’s okay because him mom might take him to the doctor this weekend.
• Correcting the inference homework. Almost half of the kids have to redo it because they turned it in without completing it. 
• Two of my older students accuse another one of my older students of bringing a knife into school. 
• My boys catch wind of this, and started to hyperbolize the situation. Because that’s what they do.
• Instead of keeping the situation calm and collected, the witch hunt begins
• The grade seven teacher and I are asked by the principal to look through the boys bathroom to search for said knife
• You know, instead of teaching
• Which means sifting through the toilets and garbage cans
• You know, instead of teaching

Scan-nom Electron Microscope?

In what would surely classify as a “lab safety infraction”, Carin Alpert put some common foods under an electron microscope in order to view them in a new (electron beam) “light”. At the sub-optical scale, many of our favorite foods become mere crystal lattices or dried plant shells. From left, a coffee bean, red licorice and an Oreo.

Definitely the coolest EM image I’ve seen since the bacteria on a diatom on an amphipod GIF.

(Many more that you’ll want to check out at Colossal)

This is awesome - I’m putting together a power point of electron microscope pics for later on in my biology unit. The kids are going to go nuts when they have to guess what they’re looking at :)
