Throwing it way back! #TBT Pretty groovy, right? It's a map of Pangea - a supercontinent that formed roughly 300 million years ago - mapped with contemporary geopolitical borders. What you see here is an anachronistic mashup - a modern map, complete with geological features that did not exist 300-million years ago, with its various parts relocated to the general position they would have occupied before Pangea began rifting apart some 200-million years ago. It's a view of the supercontinent not often seen, and a mind-bending way of relating to the world on a geological time scale. #Pangea #ThrowbackThursday #supercontinent #ContinentalDrift

#TodayInSTEM, French chemist Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin was born in 1763. Vauquelin discovered the elements chromium (Cr) and beryllium (Be). Chromium is a hard, silvery metal used to make stainless steel. Beryllium is used in gears and cogs, particularly in aeroplanes.

NASA - Spot The Station Over Your Backyard. Sign up for email or text message notices hours before the station flies overhead. As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up. http://1.usa.gov/19a04DX
Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by βdoingβ and βexperiencing,β students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. Itβs this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
