“Sound” is not as simple as it sounds. It is full of hidden properties just waiting to be explored by young scientists. Sound has frequency, amplitude, wavelength, speed and many other properties all waiting to be explored. As a young scientist you can try some of these experiments in a mini laboratory in your backyard. Below are 5 easy-to-do experiments that you should try – just some education and lots of fun! 1. Sound Wave Visualizer with Cornstarch and a Subwoofer If you’ve ever wanted to "see" sound waves, this experiment is your chance. The experiment uses cornstarch, water, and...

With an average distance covering 140 million miles, navigating to this remote planet seems implausible in one lifetime. However, when considering the Hohmann transfer orbit, this gargantuan journey might be the quickest way to travel between the two planets. This step-by-step guide is a complete breakdown of the Hohmann Transfer Orbit. It covers key aspects like timing, maneuvers, and fuel efficiency, helping you understand how successful missions can be planned. Understanding the Hohmann Transfer Orbit A Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical path between two orbits around a central body, like the Sun. It is the most fuel-efficient way to...

You may have seen the image above floating around recently. On first glance, you might have thought it was a smudge on your screen, or an image that wouldn’t fully load. While the photo may look unassuming, it is one of the most remarkable scientific feats of our generation. What you see is an image that many believed to be impossible to produce – a supermassive black hole. It represents the culmination of decades of scientific aspirations and years of collaboration among more than 200 international scientists working on the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). Since Einstein turned physics on its...

Since I visit a lot of places when I am researching for this blog, staying up-to-date, and feeding my curiosity, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of those resources with you so that you could maybe find another place on this enormous internet to make your life a little more interesting and educational.

While us at GSC love to bring you news on all the exciting things going on in the field of science, our aim as a company is to make science learning more fun and beneficial for both students and teachers alike. That is why we also take a deep interest in the field of education. Through my research into education’s ongoing evolution, I have written about phenomenon-based learning, adding “art” to the classic STEM framework, and how the engineering design process can be integrated into science education. For this week’s blog, I want to write about two new (to me)...
