Can an outdoor activity with a blade of grass reveal and challenge students' ideas about the actual and apparent sizes of objects?

An interesting interplay between a parent and #school. Alot to learn from about parenting and schooling.
If #schooling remains as factory setup it will be nothing more then a tool for harbouring trauma in childrens and will keep on sucking all the joys from life.

Why completing your #dosage of #antibiotic is important?
What will happen if you skip your dosage.

I with my friend @edurafi(not on blusky) attempted to find #micrometeorites. We followed a method suggested by @prakashlab.bsky.social.
We used the @foldscope tools for observing and measuring.
Here are some photos.

🌟 Throwback to my 2020 research published in @science.org 🌼🐝 We showed how bumble bees actively shape their environment—making plants flower earlier to meet their needs. Nature’s engineers in action! 🧪🌏

The fly is a “freeloader fly”, family Milichiidae, which scavenge from insects caught by predators.

Interesting #OpEd in today’s #SMH talking the impact of #GenAI on #higherEducation that I found triggering. The issues it highlights is the issue that how we assess is broken. The degree is not worthless, our assessment methods are. Time to change the system. #EduskyAi #AIEdu
Cheating is now so rampant that uni degrees have become worthless
The university as we know it is dead. COVID-19 nearly killed it, and AI has dealt the final blow.
