“For real change, we need feminine energy in the management of the world. We need a critical number of women in positions of power, and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men.”
Explore your Universe November 11, 2012
Yesterday, UCLA held it’s annual science fair that highlighted the wonders of the universe. Undergraduate science students showcased science and gave us all a taste of physics, chemistry, astronomy, engineering just to name a few. If every student could just play with the principles of science, then I think we could inspire a whole generation to solve the issues of our day including climate change, further space exploration, technological and healthcare advances. I know my 12 year old was inspired, thank you Bruins!
Halloween Science November 2, 2012
Yesterday, was the day of the trick or treat and the costume parade, but what is more fun for a science teacher than to introduce some real halloween magic by showing lots of chemical reactions and spooky and cool science demonstrations.
If you burn boric acid with pure alcohol or methanol, it burns green, sodium chloride (salt) burns yellow, and lithium chloride burns red.
Nothing says halloween like dry ice, frozen Co2
We did several exothermic experiments, which caused crazy foam to shoot out of a test tube or a large mushroom cloud from a chemical reaction, burning magnesium which burns a bright white flame , changing wine into water (using acids and bases and universal indicator solution) and of course dawning our costumes.
