Do you believe in ghosts
Do you believe in ghosts? What actually are ghosts? “Creatures” that do not exist but we can see them. Are there any such “creatures” around us? Let’s have a look at the night starry sky. We can see all these stars, but many of them are not existing any more. Light speed has an upper limit but all these stars can be hundreds or thousands light years away. We can only “see” what “light” brings to us, but the light source can already be destroyed while the ‘light” is traveling to us. We ask students to think about all these amazing phenomena. Then we use the “Faulkes Telescope Project” to observe some stars, nebulas and galaxies. We search for their distance from the Earth and we go back to earth history. A star 2000 light years away has send it’s light to us when Christ was born! Maybe we are just observing the star’s ghost.

As libraries across the country prepare to implement space science-themed programs in summer 2019, the Space Science Institute and Lunar and Planetary Institute are partnering with state libraries to deliver training on NASA science learning experiences.
This effort is part of the SMD Science Activation program and the STAR Library Network-Collaborative Summer Library Program partnership.
Motions in the Nighttime Sky and the Celestial SphereBackground .docx
The document provides instructions for a lab activity involving observing and modeling the night sky. Students are asked to make two observations of the night sky at least one hour apart, sketching the positions of celestial objects. They then use a model (celestial sphere, planisphere, etc.) set to the observation times to see if the objects' positions changed, indicating the apparent motion of the stars across the sky. Comparing their observations to the model helps students understand that the observed motions are due to the rotation of Earth rather than the stars themselves.

Origin and Structure of the Universe.pptx
The document discusses the origin and structure of the universe. It provides learning objectives about understanding the Big Bang theory and other theories of the universe's formation. It then outlines an activity where students inflate a balloon with dots to model how the universe may be expanding based on the Big Bang theory. The activity is meant to demonstrate how distances between "galaxy clusters" represented by dots on the balloon increase over time as the balloon inflates, simulating the expansion of the early universe according to the Big Bang.
Big Bang Station Lab
The document describes an activity using a balloon to model the expansion of the universe. Students mark dots representing galaxies on an uninflated balloon and measure the distances between them. After inflating the balloon, the distances have increased, simulating the observed expansion of space in the actual universe. The activity shows that as the space between objects expands, the wavelength of light from distant galaxies appears redshifted. While useful, the balloon model has limitations and a three-dimensional model may better represent the large-scale structure of our expanding universe.
Astronomy chapter 1
This document provides an overview of astronomy and the scientific method. It discusses:
1) Astronomy is the study of objects beyond Earth and how they interact, as well as organizing what we learn into the history of the universe.
2) Science is based on making observations and testing hypotheses, with new models replacing old ones as new evidence emerges.
3) Astronomers test hypotheses by making new observations using advanced instruments rather than experiments in a lab. The process of peer review helps establish scientific consensus.

Science, Space And Life In Other Planets
The document discusses the limitations of science in determining whether life exists on other planets. It argues that while science relies on evidence and experimentation, it cannot prove the existence of life elsewhere because it has no way to directly observe or experiment on other planets. The document asserts that claims of evidence like water on Mars or structures only represent hypotheses, not facts, and that science cannot say for certain whether life exists elsewhere or if reports of things like UFOs are true. In the end, the document concludes that science is not absolute and cannot discover if life exists on other planets since it cannot apply the scientific method to directly observe or experiment on aliens.
Constellations.pptx
The document discusses ancient people's fascination with stars and how they used them for navigation, timekeeping, and agriculture. It also explains that today both scientists and the public enjoy star gazing. Constellations are groups of stars that form patterns in the sky and are used to organize stars into identifiable groups, while zodiac constellations refer to those that appear in the background as the sun traces its path along the ecliptic.

Slide 2: Introduce the task: to choose an energy source for their first car in 2030.
Slide 3: Ask them to think of it like a race between the four energy sources. Ask the class: which of these energy sources have you heard of? Which do you think is currently the most popular? Click on the button to reveal that oil is currently way out in front, with electricity in second place.
Slide 4: Reveal a recent headline – that the UK government is going to ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines (those that burn petrol, diesel or biofuel) in 2030. Discuss with the class why – it is because they release carbon dioxide when the fuel in the engine burns.
Slide 5: Reveal that oil and biofuel are now out of the race, so it is down to electricity and hydrogen. Clicking on the cars will reveal more information about each. There are optional extras in the weblinks that you can use to teach more about each energy source at this point.
Slide 6: Introduce how they will decide between the two remaining energy sources. Give each pair/group a copy of SS1 and SS2. They follow the instructions to award points to each energy source and work out the winner. You can use slide 10 to check they have assigned the cards to the right places in the table before they calculate their points.
Discuss with the class why they think things might change in the future – why might the other car be the winner? What things could change?

The how, why and when of assessment
This document discusses assessment in education. It emphasizes that assessment, curriculum, and teaching should be aligned with overall learning goals. When these are aligned, it is a strong predictor of student achievement in math and science. Formative and summative assessments both have important roles to play - formative to help students develop independent learning skills and self-reflect, summative to check progress. Assessments should be deliberately designed to improve learning rather than just audit performance, and must be valid, reliable, and consistent with their intended purpose. Effective assessment is ongoing to provide frequent feedback opportunities for students.
Dilemma lessons
The document discusses dilemmas that can be used in science education to engage students. It presents the ENGAGE dilemma approach, which uses controversial socio-scientific issues to motivate students and help them apply their science knowledge. The approach involves three stages: 1) motivating students with a dilemma, 2) helping students apply their knowledge to make decisions about the dilemma, and 3) having students reflect on their learning. Some example dilemmas are whether to trial an Ebola vaccine or ban soft drinks. The teacher's role is to activate students' prior knowledge and guide them through the decision-making process. Effective strategies include making the context dramatic, relating it to students' experiences, and supporting students as they justify responses and assess their understanding

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
