2.2 Neuronal changes during grief Recently medical researchers have been joined by neuroscientists determined to pin down precisely those parts of the brain that are activated by the experience of grief. Although this approach might be considered to be reductionist, it demonstrates the way in which some scientists are attempting to explain complex behaviour in neuroscientific terms. Eight volunteers who had experienced the death of someone close in the previous year agreed to be studied as part of a research project con
Visualize It!: Improving Comprehension through Visualizing Comparisons (Virtual Tour)
As a comprehension strategy, visualizing helps students understand the true size of new objects by comparing them to familiar objects. The student created objects for bulletin board certainly help students make concrete connections. This is a great professional development resource to enhance literacy instruction in the classroom.

Science Bulletins: Cosmic Microwave Background: The New Cosmology
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a vast curtain of energy left over from the Big Bang. It is the oldest, most distant feature of the observable Universe. Since the discovery of the CMB in the mid-1960s, cosmology—the study of the origin and evolution of the Universe—has experienced an explosion of activity. The field has changed from a purely theoretical enterprise to the empirical study of what populates the physical Universe. "Cosmologists are right at the cusp," says the Universit
