The Fairy-Land of Science (1883)

Arabella Burton Buckley (1840-1929) was a writer and science educator who championed Darwinian evolution as opposed to the contemporary emphasis on competition and physical survival. This work, one of Buckley's earliest, includes a collection of ten scientific lectures delivered to an audience of children in 1878. The lectures were reformatted into chapters and published as The Fairy-Land of Science the following year (1879).

Buckley tended to avoid technical language in her writing and instead use narrative and metaphor to make her work accessible to a wide audience, especially young readers. She was a proponent of distancing science from the mechanistic and materialistic philosophies it was sometimes connected to. Instead, Buckley opted to promote science education in moralistic terms: learning as a means to not only become knowledgeable, but also morally good.

By weaving popsicle sticks together in a specific pattern, there is a build up potential energy (stored energy) in the bent and twisted sticks. When released from one end, this stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the sticks rapidly unfurl and fly through the air in a chain reaction.

Winter Weather Current Events and Curriculum Connections

Photo by Egor Kamelev on Pexels.com There are many ways that you can connect with winter weather (snow, ice, albedo effects, winter storms, animal adaptations, and human winter culture) in any science class. Biology and life science classes might explore: winter adaptations, winter ecosystem interactions, animal tracks in the snow, and using snow environmental DNA to track endangered…

If I were Dan and Phil I would never hard launch because it’s so embarrassing that we were right. Like what do you mean you were so in love a bunch of thirteen year old’s clocked it? I would never give that satisfaction.

Conspicuous phenotypic similarities among characters like Astarion (Baldur's Gate 3, 2023) and Preminger (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper, 2004) have been noted in the past; however, establishment of a definitive taxonomy has thus far been hindered by the fact that both are clearly juveniles of their species. Now, however, a mature specimen is believed to have been located:
