Changing the Culture of the Academy: Toward a More Inclusive Practice
Mission Statement
Changing the Culture of the Academy explores ways that the academy might incorporate the challenge of diversity as it pertains to its core mission and practice. Participants will consider new paradigms for rethinking the academy that are inclusive of various cultural and disciplinary traditions, learning styles and identities. This will include opening a dialogue about these issues across all disciplines, from the social sciences and humanities to the physical and life sciences

Where does water go when it rains?
Linking questions of water resources, land use and our environment.
NASA KSNN Did you know NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft found water on Mars?

NASA KSNN Why do astronauts float inside the space shuttle?
Find out more about why astronauts appear to float inside the space shuttle and demonstrate how water reacts in free fall.
NASA KSNN Did you know astronauts study sand in space?

NASA KSNN Did you know astronauts will recycle water in space?
Find out more about recycling water in space and create a model of a water purifier.
NASA KSNN How do clouds form?
Clouds form when water evaporates from rivers, ponds, oceans, and lakes. The air containing this evaporated water vapor rises and expands at higher altitudes where the air pressure is lower. The expanding air cools, and as this cooling occurs, the water vapor condenses (changes) from a vapor to a liquid. Many tiny water droplets form and a cloud is born.
