Maybe it was a result of a long-discarded version of Einstein's theory of gravity, one that contained what was called a "cosmological constant." Maybe there was some strange kind of energy-fluid that filled space. Maybe there is something wrong with Einstein's theory of gravity and a new theory could include some kind of field that creates this cosmic acceleration. Theorists still don't know what the correct explanation is, but they have given the solution a name. It is called dark energy. pdboyer Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:44:07 GMT http://dataintheclassroom.org/ We're taking a systems approach to learning about the Earth using real scientific data. Our goal is to design easy-to-use curriculum activities and simple, intuitive computer interfaces for accessing online data. It's all part of a NOAA-supported effort called the NODE Project. 5 levels of modules. Encourages looking for patterns and associations. pdboyer Thu, 03 Feb 2011 00:23:59 GMT http://davidtruss.com web 2.0 guru in education; taught science; LOADS of links pdboyer Sat, 01 Nov 2008 02:08:21 GMT http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?chapselect=yo&page=145&record_id=11186&Jump+to+Specified+Page.x=0&Jump+to+Specified+Page.y=0 Targeting administrative or legislative bodies for receiving scientific information that will inform decision making--meet early, meet often, and have a rapport pdboyer Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:03:58 GMT http://cfpub.epa.gov/surf/huc.cfm?huc_code=07120004 pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://www.woodenbrain.com/products/devonsync/devonsync.html •Provides a much faster way to work with incremental changes than copying large databases between Macs. •Can switch between sync over LAN or sync via .Mac. •Remembers time of last sync to make subsequent syncs faster. •Flexibility in setting sync directions.
