Different biographic wall posters about great inventors. Be inspired!

The greatest and most mystifying inventor of all time was Nikola Tesla. What was known about him and his work is voluminous, but upon review it only leaves more questions unanswered than answered. Reading about his known history and achievements inspires and lends credence to the thought that invention is science and engineering in it's most creative, artful and manifest form.

Size of Units Perspective for Students - Charts, Graphs & Nomographs for learning!
*Our "Charts, Graphs & Nomographs" page has numerous scientific and engineering graphics that put various different units of measure into perspective. Here is one example graphic found there. It is called "The Scale of Things -- Nanometers and more." Have students select one of these graphics, print it out and then bring it to class to explain for a few minutes to the rest of the class. After class post all the graphics on a board for a week or so. The whole class can learn. For extra credit have students find a second perspective providing graphic from some other source on the Internet or from a text or journal of some type. The depth of understanding students will gain about how big and small their world and universe is from the perspective of various units of measure will open new horizons for them. This is a simple, but powerful exercise. Try it!
ClickBook! an educational tool...
"As part of our Classroom Publishing project, we have used ClickBook 2000 to help parent volunteers turn student creative works into mini-books. The program has helped students improve their writing and reading skills. It has also helped them develop a sense of ownership and pride in their works -- works which they then share with teachers and classmates. ClickBook is a wonderful little program. It has been critical to the success of our project, and we highly recommend it!"
-Elaine Woerner, University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, Co-Chair - Lower School Council of the Parents' Association
