Plastics Companies Are Writing Lesson Plans. What Could Go Wrong?

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌠🔭 During the annual #Perseid #meteorshower, streaks of #light flash across the dark night #sky.

Astronomers explain that these #shootingstars occur when #Earth moves through the icy debris left by #comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Clear skies and a moonless night will make the glowing fireballs visible between midnight and dawn.

Coriolis Effect ✍️

It explains why objects moving across a rotating world seem to curve from their straight path, even when no visible force pushes them sideways. Imagine throwing a ball straight across a spinning merry-go-round. To someone standing still outside, the ball travels in a straight line. But to someone riding the spinning platform, the ball appears to bend away from its path.

The same thing happens on Earth because our planet is constantly rotating beneath everything that moves. Air currents, ocean flows, and even long-range projectiles travel over a surface that is turning while they move. This creates the illusion of a sideways force, known as the Coriolis effect.

In the Northern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to bend to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they bend to the left. The effect grows stronger over larger distances and faster motions, but becomes almost unnoticeable in small, everyday movements.

Scientists use this effect to understand the spinning of hurricanes, the paths of trade winds, and the circulation of oceans. It reveals that motion is not always as simple as it seems when the ground beneath us is constantly in motion itself.

📢 NEW STATEMENT ALERT!

In conjunction with #ScienceEducationDay, ALLEA released a statement on how we can shape a scientifically literate and #ethical society.

The statement advocates for expanding early science education curricula to include both #NatureOfScience & #researchethics pedagogies on how to do that.

Find the full statement 👉https://allea.org/portfolio-item/allea-statement-on-shaping-a-scientifically-literate-society/

Here is the third song about #BugsAndSeeds from the #SuzeeScienceSinger #science workshops that I do for young children. After inspecting the anatomy of soaked bean seeds, we pretend we are seeds, splitting, pushing down our roots, pushing through the dirt towards the sunlight and unfurling our leaves

I ask the kids what kind of plant they are. One little boy told me he was an Apple Crisp tree.

It's day 2 of the United States of Science!

Let's take a look at some states we can close out this morning. Remaining bubbles:
NV or OR: 3
AZ: 4
KS: 6
WA: 8

Those big states need help too 👀
