How often does technology interrupt us from what we really mean to be doing? At work and at play, we spend a startling amount of time distracted by pings and pop-ups -- instead of helping us spend our time well, it often feels like our...

Ever wondered how math helps grow beautiful gardens and thriving lawns?🌻 Join us on a behind-the-scenes journey with Scotts Miracle-Gro scientists as they reveal the essential role of math in creating the products that keep...

What in the world do superheroes have to do with measuring things in inches, feet, and yards; apparently a lot; because a new race of superheroes have made it their mission to teach us about the relative lengths of standard units and how...

If you grew up in the United States, you probably learned the United States Customary System (USCS) for weights and measures. USCS terms like inches, feet, pounds, and miles are derived from the British Imperial System, steeped in a...

👉 Learn how to solve with similar polygons. Two polygons are said to be similar if the corresponding angles are congruent (equal). When two polygons are similar the corresponding sides are proportional. Knowledge of the length of the...

Conversions Converting between measures such as millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres is commonplace in our lives. The process is made nice and simple because of the metric system. CREDITS Animation & Design: Jean-Pierre Louw...

Developing a vaccine usually takes five to 10 years, costs about a billion dollars and has a failure rate of 93 percent. Under the pressure of the coronavirus pandemic, scientists are being asked to speed that timeline up to 12 to 18...

Pupil outcome: I can convert statements about measure. Key learning points: - In order to compare metric measures, conversion may be necessary. - Metric measures can be converted by using place value. - Real-world examples can help us...

SUMMARY

What is Spacetime? Are space and time the same thing? Space was thought to be nothing, an empty void with no matter in it. In 1908, Hermann Minkowski postulated that time could be thought of as a 4th...

Why does the universe have an upper speed limit on the speed of light? Why isn’t the top limit infinite? Or what if the speed of light was not constant but changed in different reference frames?...
