Rockwell Kent—Voyager: An Artist’s Journey in Prints, Drawings, and Illustrated Books
May 19, 2012 - July 29, 2012: Famous in his own time as a painter, author, arctic adventurer, and political activist,
Rockwell Kent (1882–1971) left his most enduring legacy as a printmaker and
illustrator of books. His bold and enigmatic images of mysterious, statuesque
figures in spiritual communion with the natural world proved equally effective in
corporate advertising campaigns and book projects alike.

Im Streit zwischen Bundesregierung und Opposition über den EU-Fiskalpakt ist keine Einigung in Sicht. Eine Verhandlungsrunde der Unterhändler mit Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel am Montagabend im Berliner Kanzleramt blieb ohne greifbares Ergebnis. Beide Seiten beschuldigten sich anschließend, sich zu wenig zu bewegen. Die Koalition drängt darauf,
Behind the Scenes - Commencement 2012
Can you specify the number of chairs set up for commencement? Do you know a Super Marshal from a Faculty Faculty Marshal? University staff explain the herculean task of creating the perfect day for our graduates.
2012 Commencement: Eastman School of Music
Video highlights from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester on May 20, 2012. Pulitzer Prize--winning composer and Eastman alumni George Walker '56E (DMA) told the graduates that he has valued the continuous relationship he's enjoyed with his fellow students and with faculty over the years, "a source of pride and satisfaction to me."

Lessons for learning: research lesson study, innovation, transfer and metapedagogy - a design experi
During the past 12 months my project has been developing an approach to research lesson study with a number of networks of schools in England.
The project has been piloting a design for research lesson study and developing practices in a number of school settings – both secondary and primary, and in a range of curriculum areas. It has explored a number of forms including cross school ‘networked’ forms and cross phase and cross subject approaches.

Scientific Processes (Interactive)
This interactive activity adapted from NOVA provides students a way to gain a more accurate understanding of how science is done. Two videos, which feature the work of renowned scientists Percy Julian and Judah Folkman, demonstrate that while scientists may use an orderly approach to learn new information and solve problems, they proceed along different paths in their quests. Instead of referring to a delineated set of steps, the term "scientific process" encompasses the true nature of
Chubicorn!
This is how to draw and color Chubicorn. He is believed to be half unicorn and half water balloon. He is Shelby's companion in Shelby and the Blooms. The video provides careful instructions and is seven minutes long. Easy to follow.
Soils Around the World (Interactive)
Soils are created through the interaction of climate, vegetation, organisms, topography, and time on the organic and mineral material found on Earth's surface. Because different locations around the world have different climates and topographies and support different kinds of organisms, soil types vary from place to place. Each type possesses certain defining characteristics, including color, texture, and mineral composition. This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domainfeatures s
Snowflake Physics (Interactive)
In this interactive activity adapted from SnowCrystals.com, learn about snowflake formation. Explore the molecular structure of ice and learn how the typical six-sided shape of snowflakes is due to the arrangement of water molecules in a hexagonal crystal lattice. Discover how snowflakes form and how different conditions affect their growth and morphology.
Some Genes Are Dominant (Interactive)
Using several animated sequences, this interactive activity adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center demonstrates the principle of dominance, which is fundamental to modern genetics. By crossing two pea plants, each pure-bred for a given trait like pea color, we learn why only the dominant trait—in this case, yellow pea color—appears in any and all offspring. We also learn why some offspring in subsequent generations exhibit the recessive trait—green—even though this ma
