Online Journal Combines Teaching Math And Studying How Students Learn Science Daily
When instructors at Bronx-area community colleges applied for a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to study how students think about fundamental concepts of calculus, they hoped to gain a better understanding of how college students learn mathematics. During the 4-year project, the teacher-researchers integrated ongoing research theories with classroom teaching. As a result, their project
Student Practice With Online Summarization Tool Improves Writing And Reading Skills SchoolBuyer'sOnline

Researchers Create Genetically Matched Embryonic Stem Cells For Transplantation Science Daily
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report a new and efficient strategy, using eggs alone, for creating embryonic stem (ES) cells that can generate tissues suitable for plantation, because the cells are compatible with the recipient's immune system. The technique (done just in mice so far) would apply only to females, who would donate their own eggs to create genetically-matched ES

Self-assembling Nano-ice Discovered -- Structure Resembles DNA Science Daily
UNL chemist Xiao Cheng Zeng and his team discovered double helixes of ice molecules that resemble the structure of DNA and self-assemble under high pressure inside carbon nanotubes. This discovery could have major implications for scientists in other fields who study the protein structures that cause diseases such as Alzheimer's and bovine spongiform ecephalitis. It could also help guide those
