This is a top book for me. Wednesday-Adams-ish in cute gardener form. I would plant all of these plants. They are adorable!

Did you celebrate Arbor Day this week?

Trees do a lot for us. They help cool things down, absorb carbon dioxide, and keep soil from washing away. Check out this conversation from last year on how—and where–trees make a difference in cities.
How Trees Keep D.C. And Baltimore Cool
Satellite technology—and community outreach—can help harness trees’ cooling power for city residents.

Students observed abundant hoverflies on our flowering mustard plants in the school #garden, our second most important #pollinator behind bees. Students also learned about their use of mimicry to avoid predators. #EduSky #STEM #outdoorlearning #ScienceEd

Every week the NYT makes a resource for teachers to help students think critically and analyze a graphic.

What do you notice? What do you wonder? What is a headline you think this would be an article for?

Baseball season is officially underway. To celebrate, we revisit this conversation from 2024 about the physics of baseball and how sports can be a gateway to scientific literacy.
A Cheer For The Physics Of Baseball
When you watch a baseball game, you’re also enjoying a spectacular display of science—from physics to biomechanics.
