A few months ago, a friend played me some remarkable recordings made by scientists at the Jodrell Bank Observatory, who had captured and made audible the "sound" of stars. I just discovered that these are available, with lots more information about how the recordings were made, on a recent edition of the observatory's JodCast:

Particularly mesmerising is the sound of material falling into a black hole (just after 23 minutes in on the podcast), which someone described as "God playing the bongos"!

The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a wide range of subject and topic areas. They have been funded by the LSC and are available free to all authorised organisations in the post-16 sector.

subjective science is the methodology by which we come to comprehend ourselves.

objective science is the methodology evolved over centuries to study objects, most recently developed over the last 200 to 400 years in the west.

some simple equivalences between the science of objects and the science of subjects: experiments v experience, facts v insights, knowledge v wisdom, absolute v relative, falsification v verification, logical v intuitive, predictive v unpredictable, simple v complex.

I work as a tutor at GCSE and A-level, in maths and the sciences. The problem is what to do to pay the bills in the summer holidays.

I have thought about tutoring the ‘Kent Test’ (which is the 11+ here) through the summer. I have been given differing opinions on this: some say it is easy and I should go for it, others say that it is so unlike tutoring the 15-18 age group that a very different style is needed and parent’s expectations are much higher of the tutor relative to the student given the latter are only 10 years old.

Softscripts was established in the year 2003. Our main motto is to help in eradicating illiteracy from the world ,so we developed a platform connecting tutors ,teachers and professors with students and renting books online in an easier way . Teachers can showcase their classes to the world. Students can reach teachers in a better way .

Find-guru.com started online quiz for students, teachers. Any one can play weekly quiz and win exiting prizes $50 gift hampers.

Feeling that my maths tutoring needed some more variety than the usual studying pages of revision guides and working through exercises and past papers, I decided to make some DIY teaching aids.
One summer I made a demonstration of Pythagoras’s Theorem out of painted plywood. I found this quite time-consuming, given my limited woodworking skills. After that, I made others out of white-fronted cardboard to demonstrate various principles of algebra and geometry. This proved to be easier to do.
