New ReviewIn this video Paul Andersen shows you how to construct explanations with evidence in a mini-lesson on Observational Explanations. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides.

From something as familiar as our bodies to things vast as the formation of galaxies, we can observe the process of self-assembly, or when unordered parts come together in an organized structure. Skylar Tibbits explains how we see...

When Alexander Fleming came back from holiday he noticed that mould contamination on an experimental plate had killed a pathogen. Fleming wondered 'Why?' Careful observation, rigorous scientific thinking and painstaking experimental work...

Calling all junior scientists! It's #BritishScienceWeek and the final week of #NHMHomeworkClub. We are celebrating with daily scientific challenges followed by a quiz with a twist to finish. We will be showing off some incredible Museum...

Scientists demonstrate that cloud seeding can generate snowfall Research answers long question about effectiveness of cloud seeding Scientists have successfully used a combination of radars and snow gauges to measure the impact of cloud...

The public will have an opportunity to participate in a nation-wide science experiment by collecting cloud and temperature data from their phones. NASA’s Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program...

Psychology may not be as rigidly empirical as physics or chemistry, but it is a science nonetheless. So how precisely do psychologists do science? What methods do they utilize to gather data? What is a case study, and how can these be...

In response to one of the worst wildfires in Colorado history, scientists from the Warner College of Natural Resources at Colorado State University (CSU) are leading a first of its kind, large-scale wildfire impact study on the High Park...

The development and application of writing skills in science is the focus of this program. This video highlights some of the key ingredients of writing in the subject of science. Informative and explanatory texts focus on facts,...

Syracuse University chemical engineer Dacheng Ren is leading a multidisciplinary team studying biofilms, which are colonies of microbes, such as bacteria, that grow together in a matrix produced by the cells themselves. Until now,...

In a first of its kind, citizen scientists and researchers created a ninety minute time-lapse video of the sun's inner corona. The Citizen CATE (Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse) Experiment captured images of the inner solar corona...

Charles Darwin was a keen naturalist and geologist who made detailed observations about the natural world. Whilst studying at Cambridge, Darwin learnt many important scientific skills including species identification, how to catalogue...

High tech x-ray scanning equipment has opened up a whole new world to scientists studying delicate specimens such as fossils, skeletons and ancient manuscripts. It's called "high resolution X-ray computed tomography," and it essentially...

Syracuse University biologists are now able to study previously unobservable events tied to sexual selection. That's because they were able to genetically alter fruit flies so that the heads of their sperm were fluorescent green or red....

Taking advantage of the total lunar eclipse of January 2019, astronomers, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, have measured the amount of ozone in Earth’s atmosphere. The method used serves as a proxy for how they will observe...

Unprecedented observations of a nova outburst in 2018 by a trio of satellites, including NASA’s Fermi and NuSTAR space telescopes, have captured the first direct evidence that most of the explosion’s visible light arose from shock waves...

Hurricanes are some of the most powerful and destructive weather events on Earth. To help study these powerful storms, NASA is launching TROPICS (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a...
