Some states are faring better than others when it comes to engineering and science degrees. The US Census Bureau recently released information from an annual survey that for the first time included information about the types of college and university degrees residents on a state by state basis had obtained. The Census Bureau information shows that states such as New Jersey are ahead of the national average in engineering and science degree-holders, while states such as Ohio are behind.<br /><br />President Barack Obama in 2009 established what's known as an "Educate to Innovate" campaign that encourages studies in science, technology, engineering and math. The subjects are key to the innovation that can keep the country an economic leader, an announcement on the White House website notes. The US Census Bureau's annual American Community Survey for 2009 included a new question that asked bachelor's degree-holders what their major area of study was.<br /><br />Of an estimated 56.3 million people ages 25 and older with bachelors degrees at minimum, 36.4 percent held at least one science and engineering degree, according to the Census Bureau website. In states such as North Dakota and Mississippi, 28 percent or less of all bachelor's degree-holders older than 24 had obtained engineering and science degrees. Washington, D.C., at 51 percent, boasted the highest percentage of residents in this category with engineering and science degrees.<br /><br />The Dayton Daily News and NJ.com reported on the below and above average rankings in Ohio and New Jersey respectively. In Ohio, some 31 percent of the state's 1.9 million degree holders ages 25-plus had obtained engineering and science degrees, the Dayton Daily News article noted. In New Jersey, engineering and science degrees accounted for 37.4 percent of the degrees held by the state's 2 million-plus degree-holders older than 24, according to the NJ.com article.<br /><br />Students have a variety of subject areas in which they can specialize when pursuing engineering and science degrees. In engineering alone, students can study toward becoming anything from civil engineers who plan, design and build projects such as airports, bridges, government structures and water treatment facilities to biomedical engineers who develop health products and systems such as MRIs and automatic insulin injectors. Graduates with engineering degrees in 2009 commanded most of the top entry level salaries, information from the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Working toward degrees in science, students might study geology and hydrology, where they could search for natural resources such as in-ground drinking water supplies or petroleum, or environmental science, where they might work to clean up the environment.</div>

The most common entered programs are at the bachelor's and master's degree level. Education at the bachelor's degree level consists of courses that supplement a concentration. It is typical for students to work through courses that have them completing clinical hours to gain experience. The same basic courses are taken no matter what career students are working towards. In a four-year degree program students should expect to complete courses in microbiology, human anatomy, physiology, and health care. Some classes will also focus on the different types of delivery systems that are integrated into the field.<br /><br />Working through a master's degree program provides students with the knowledge needed to work alongside doctors and surgeons. Many of the degree programs prepare students for management by taking their specialization and providing a complete understanding of health science. Students can enter concentrations in areas including public health, health education, emergency and disaster management, clinical research administration, and more.</div>

New teachers invigorate the field of education, inspire students, and make a lasting difference. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for young teachers to find a teaching job. Some areas of the country are facing hiring freezes, layoffs, and dwindling student enrollments. While there are some high-needs school districts that are desperate for teachers in all fields, many areas have a surplus of elementary, social studies, and physical education teachers. In a tough job market, one way to help ensure you land a teaching job is to enter a high-demand field in education.<br /><br />The number of students who do not speak English as a first language is rapidly increasing. Over two million US students need help learning the English language. This makes high demand for ESL teachers. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, schools have more difficulty filling positions in ESL than any other field. While it isn't necessary to be bilingual, it can come in handy - especially if you can speak Spanish. There is also a growing need for bilingual teachers. Many schools with a high population of Spanish speaking students will have a teacher instruct in both English and Spanish. If you live near an area with a diverse population, bilingual or ESL skills will greatly enhance your job prospects. Furthermore, you'll be rewarded by giving students the skills needed to successfully communicate in English.<br /><br />The college courses necessary to become a secondary science or math teacher are difficult. Calculus 4, organic chemistry, and physics are tough courses. Basically, there are more education majors in the area of elementary education than secondary science or math. Those who do major in these subjects usually have plenty of lucrative job prospects besides teaching, which makes for a lot of teaching openings in the fields of science and math. Some desperate districts are offering incentive programs to attract qualified science and math teachers. Tuition reimbursement, strong mentor programs, and other financial incentives are being offered, especially in high-needs school districts. There is also a push to employ more women educators in the fields of science and math, which have historically been male-dominated areas of education.</div>

STEM makes headlines every day--a definite education priority from the highest levels of government on down. The goal: invigorate the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and math in our middle and high schools and raise America's academic standing in the world.<br /><br />Like many others, President Obama has been quite vocal about the shortcomings of STEM teaching and our students' lackluster testing performance, hence the government's push for improvement. <br /><br />Initiated an annual White House science fair.<br />Launched his "Educate to Innovate" campaign, a nationwide effort to move America's students up from the middle of the pack in math and science.<br />Challenged scientists, engineers, educators, the private sector, and governors to join him in a national campaign to engage students in STEM fields.<br />Given a competitive edge to states that commit to improving STEM education in his Race to the Top grant contest.<br />Recently honored about 100 outstanding middle and high school math and science teachers from around the country at the White House.<br />Applauded the grassroots National Lab Day initiative intended to revitalize science and math education and lead to increased American competitiveness.<br /><br />And as he has said, "Passionate educators with deep content expertise can make all the difference, enabling hands-on learning that truly engages students-including girls and underrepresented minorities-and preparing them to tackle the 'grand challenges' of the 21st century, such as increasing energy independence, improving people's health, protecting the environment, and strengthening national security."<br /><br />Despite such good intentions, however, there's been no apparent trickledown effect when it comes to the award-winning Science in Motion program.</div>

Science instructional standards indicate that the best way to develop science for kids is to ensure the curriculum.<br /><br />Children are inherently curious and subsequently tend to ask LOTS of questions, such as "Why is grass green?", "How big is the moon?", 'What is a virus?", and a multitude of others for which we may not have an immediate answer. Still, it is important to foster an environment where kids are allowed to be curious as this is often their motivation for learning.<br /><br />Developing activities in science for kids that directly answer their questions can be difficult. However, with a library of high-quality educational DVDs on hand, we can answer questions immediately, and accurately, at the same time providing that instant gratification to which the kids of the information age have become accustomed. Waiting, while we develop a lesson plan or search textbooks for the answer is not an option.<br /><br />When they ask about earthquakes, you can pop in an educational DVD on United States earthquakes and all the science related to the topic. You could even incorporate a Social Studies lesson on the locations most prone to earthquakes. Or, when they ask how many planets there are, you can actually play an educational video showing a simulation of how the solar system came to be.<br /><br />Educational DVDs on science topics can help answer a child's question visually, making it much more likely he will retain the information. Science for kids can include educational DVDs on earth science, biology and life sciences, physical sciences, and be used for inquiry-based science exploration. Step-by-step scientific experiments can be shown, including detailed explanations. This is sometimes even more effective than the real lab exercise.</div>

Teaching our kids to love science can help them become clearer thinkers and better persons. A sustained interest in science will not only help them as children (in school or in play), but will also aid in their development as adults, allowing them to function well in any field of work and to be happy and successful in their lives. The best way to engage our kids in the wonders of science is through educational toys.<br /><br />Science is important; we were always taught that in school. But as adults, with all the preoccupations we have to deal with in real life from our jobs to our domestic obligations and our personal affairs and financial concerns, we tend to forget just how important science is. Because of the everyday problems and mundane tasks we have to deal with, we may find that science has little relevance in our lives. What we fail to see is that a sustained fascination with the workings of the world and a constant love for science and technology can actually lead to a more satisfying and fulfilling life.<br /><br />We need to rediscover the joys of science to truly teach our kids to love science. Kids learn the most by imitation and what they see in the actions and words of adults (especially their parents) they tend to file in their little heads as a matter of importance. Buying them children's educational toys is one way to make them value learning; showing them how interested we are in the world and are fascinated with science is another way of affecting their minds for the better.</div>

From its unique approach to engaging people in real science, to its goal of positively influencing communities to take action to improve our world, the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City has been re-invented to enhance educational travel and inspire student groups in scientific literacy and understanding.<br /><br />Science museums first appeared in the early 1800s, with a focus on collecting, researching, and presenting artifacts in an attempt to understand the past. In the 1960s, science museums sought to entertain and engage their audiences - increasing scientific literacy and understanding. Today, many science centers are focused solely on interactivity. The newly reinvented Liberty Science Center has placed its efforts on encouraging actual science activism, acting as a resource and catalyst to advance the realm of science, technology, and society.<br /><br />Enhanced by its historic and cosmopolitan location, which overlooks Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Science Center strives to inspire student tours in understanding the continuing connection between scientific advances and how they improve the human condition.<br /><br />For instance, the center's "Live From...Robotic Surgery" program uses live teleconferencing to take students into the O.R. where they interact directly with surgeons and witness how the advances of science and technology benefit humans. Program offerings include topics on cardiology, neurosurgery, and kidney transplant. Other programs include lab workshops in a state-of-the-art laboratory where students embark on an interactive learning experience led by a knowledgeable science educator.</div>

In a high school students always think about their future careers. Their abilities and likings persuade and push them to the definite choice. Some of them want to become a scientist, a teacher, a lawyer or a policeman. There are a lot of professions but still, people should know what job they really want and go forward to their dream.<br /><br />While being in the high school only few teenagers think about the forensic career. A person who wants to become a forensic scientist should have a lot of patience and calmness, because this work requires a lot of time and is very difficult. Even if a student in a high school thinks about the forensic career, he or she usually doesn't understand all the difficulties of this job. But if a person really wants to become a forensic scientist, then he or she must be more precise in attending biology and chemistry courses. If you are good in studying these subjects, then you can be sure that it will be easier for you to study by a forensic program.<br /><br />Even if you are already studying at the college, a lot of courses will be very familiar for you. This is due to the common basis of information with high school matters. You will notice that the learning process will be much easier for you, because you have already studied the same subjects. And if you really want to choose a forensic career and be involved in the criminal proceedings, then you can choose any career from the range of forensic careers. There are a lot of different careers in a forensic area. You can become a forensic psychologist, a forensic engineer, a nurse, a teacher of forensic science, forensic biologist, forensic chemist, forensic archaeologist, forensic anthropologist, forensic linguist, forensic toxicology expert, science technician, social scientist, etc.</div>

Some people mourn an aspect of political candour that existed in Australia during the era of the 20th Century's political struggle to ensure educational opportunities for the working class. A sense of Australia 'doing right' to 'get somewhere' or to 'forge ahead', existed in contrast to the 21st Century's 'spin doctoring', with its continual reference to various complex financial graphs and charts. The Australian term 'fair dinkum' was a colloquial expression used to denote an opinion that was genuinely held with no reservations. 'Fair Go' was associated with the making of reasonable judgemental policies and the term 'using your Nous' was another popular term, referring to using one's common-sense. Master tradesman often exhorted their apprentices to use their Nous to solve problems.<br /><br />A fair dinkum Aussie Pollie, in that bygone era, used his or her Nous to ensure a fair deal, and such a person became a well respected Australian politician. The Australian Federal Minster, Simon Crean, had earned such a reputation, along with the rough and tumble criticism from those who put profits ahead of all else. Simon Crean devoted his life creating educational opportunities for fellow Australians, be they unemployed tradespeople or those engaged in fields of higher education.<br /><br />Simon Crean has become a pivotal figure in ensuring that Australians get a fair go to become acquainted with the development of an entirely new science of chemistry. This medical science, now established by three 1996 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, is emerging onto the world stage, in complete defiance of the 20th Century's fixed life-science world-view. Australia, thanks to Simon Crean, holds a prominent position within its great futuristic global potential, in which the importance of the Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy, to fuse ethics into the Nous, is of paramount importance within the functioning of the new chemistry.<br /><br />During 1995, as the Minister for Employment, Education and Training, Simon Crean's Department investigated an application by the Science-Art Research Centre in Australia to become An Australian Government Approved Research Institute. A major Australian University's assessment for the Government claimed, that while the Centre's work was not factually erroneous, it was inconceivable. The scientific hostility toward the Centre's work was such that its mathematical life-force theories, reprinted in 1990 as one of the 20th Century's important discoveres, by the world's largest research institute based in Washington, the IEEE SPIE Milestone series, was treated with hostile contempt in Australia.</div>

It's great for kids to go to <a href="http://ikenrotterdam.blogspot.com/">school and get an education</a>, but there are some things that you just can't learn when you're sitting at a desk, especially when you're bored. I'm sure that, as a parent, you can remember having that feeling as a kid and you can relate to your child on that level. That's why it can be good to break up the monotony now and then with educational visits to various places.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One fabulous place that you could visit with your child is the science museum. There, you can find exhibits on many different aspects of science. For example, you and your child might see an exhibit on various rock formations. You might also see an exhibit on how the weather works.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, if you visit a different wing, you might see the history of various species. Your kids will be in awe of the dinosaur skeletons and figures of woolly mammoths and so forth. That can be a great scientific history lesson.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another part of the museum, there might be hands-on exhibits that teach things like how electricity works or why certain chemicals change colors when mixed. The possibilities are practically endless.</div>

The classroom experience is an important part of the way a student learns new material, but it is by no means the only part. In the rush to make sure that students are properly educated, it is easy to get caught up in the more obvious, typical, ordinary aspects of learning and to forget about some techniques which, although they are not used quite as frequently, have every bit as much value and are one hundred percent as vital as any of the other more commonly seen ways that we teach children in a modern classroom setting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You see, when students get together in a classroom with a teacher, the primary purpose of that gathering is to transmit information from the teacher to the student. All of the information that the teach communicates on the given subject is already known and established, and he or she is simply telling the information to the students so that they will know it as well. In other words, nothing new is being created or pursued; instead, something which is already known is being transferred from one place (the teacher's mind) to another place (the mind of the student).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One other way to do things is actually to set about discovering new information in the classroom. In this manner students and teachers can embark together on a process of discovery where neither the student nor the teacher knows what might happen at the end. This is very different from the way things are normally done because it really seeks to add to the amount of existing knowledge in the world instead of just spreading it from place to place. One really great way to pursue knowledge in this way is through a science fair, where students will create science fair projects.</div>

Most of the <a href="http://ikenrotterdam.blogspot.com/">children around the world</a> are not interested to learn science because they need to learn these topics from their regular books and some other formats. To resolve this issue, most of the schools in America are starting a new concept of teaching science to their students. However, it is also an important to the parents that your child must have a love towards learning science. If you are encouraging them early by doing science projects with the toys and kits, they will try to learn science which lasts a life time. Every child would like to discover the world and nature around them in childhood days. In these childhood days, it is a better idea to teach your children with science toys and kits. There are so many well designed incredible science toys and kits are available in the present market. These instruments will definitely increase the interest of learning to your child. And also these equipments are designed to understand the environment in a better way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most important science toys for your children are chemistry and physics sets. The price range for these kits is starting from twenty dollars to two hundred dollars. There is a wide range of options available in these science kits when you are trying to purchase them. When in comparison with the physical kits with chemistry kits, the chemistry kits will be a small high, because of the cost of the chemicals used in these kits. However, most of the parents need to consider about the chemicals used in these kits according to the children safety. When the children are doing these experiments, they must follow the guidelines and safety precautions which are described in manual. Moreover, you need to consider that these chemicals are depleted. So, you need to refill the gadgets with proper instructions and chemicals.</div>

There are a lot of differences between the science and scientific. Science means it is a core set of toys, but the scientific means experiments with the science. If your student or children are unable to understand the experiment, the best solution is experiments with science kits. There are so many science stores around the country are offering these kits for an affordable rate. With these kits, your student or children will improve knowledge in science. These kits are well equipped and designed for the understanding and interested way to the children about the different scientific disciplines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to tech your students about the electronics, electricity and also radio station functions the best and suitable example is crystal radio set. This project is very popular and consists of one project to make a crystal radio. With these science kits, you can teach your students not only science some other subjects like biology, astronomy, ecology and some of the other subjects. You can conduct some of the experiments like why the sky is blue and how the lights bend some other experiments, which will create a positive knowledge in your children. Some of the professional scientist has done these experiments to discover the mysteries of the earth. Apart from regular toys, these experiments are much better. With these experiments,the children will learn the real science, and it improves the imaginations at both school and real world. After these experiments, the children will think differently about the world around us. The children will become curious about the science rather than accepting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another advantage is that knowledge obtained through this science experimentation is retained longer by students is because they are actively participated. They cannot simply skim through the experiment, they have to make sure that they are doing experiments correctly, and the only way to ensure that is by understanding what is going on. It forces students to understand the science behind what they are doing, and if they do not,often times the experiment would not turn out right.</div>

There was a time when getting kids really educational toys was something that every family did. Each year around Christmas or on my birthday I could always expect presents of books and science toys of some kind. It's rare to see kids getting presents like that now - even though they'd have great fun with them and learn so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what actually makes a science toy a science toy? Anything that leads a kid to discovering new for the first time or seeing a law of nature of the Universe play itself out in front of them would be a good way to define it. This type of tends to make kids more curious about other aspects of science and nature so you'll educating them without them even knowing it. This is something you really want to encourage with your kids - the idea of active learning. Making their learning interesting is a huge key to success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what kind of science toys are there to choose from? You can start with something simple like a slinky spring or a basic chemistry set (child safe), then you have the option of a junior microscope or a robotics kit. If they're more biology inclined kids then you could get them an anatomy kit. Or how about an ant farm? Or one of those volcanoes that actually erupts. The really big one is telescope for the little star gazer in your family. I still have memories of sitting in our back yard when I was a kid staring up at the moon through my dads telescope.</div>

Keeping children interested in their education is a struggle that's faced parents for generations. While some children love going to school and have a genuine thirst for knowledge, others see learning as something they're forced to do when they'd rather be playing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Science toys are a great way to stimulate children's natural curiosity, and to keep them entertained while learning about science and nature. In fact, with science toys, children can have so much fun, they may not even realize they're learning something new.</div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
This addictive toy has been a favorite of bored executives for many years. Gently raising then releasing one of the end pendulums will cause energy to travel through the three static centre pendulums, before pushing the final pendulum outwards. When the final pendulum comes back, the process is repeated over and over, teaching children about the conservation of momentum and energy.</div>

Dip the Drinking Bird's beak into a glass of water, and he'll carry on drinking for hours. A popular curiosity in the 60s and 70s, the Drinking Bird demonstrates a variety of physical laws including the combined gas law, the ideal gas law, the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the heat of vaporization, torque, center of mass and capillary action.</div>

Children are natural scientists, always discovering and absorbing new things. Parents can help their children by supplying them with the appropriate science supplies so that they can make a better sense of what they see in the world. Science is trying to explain what you see. Parental involvement in anything; be it sports; school supplies or some hobby is the real key to success for every child. When education supplies are involved a child will set off in new directions with an exceptional level of confidence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Children are full of questions. Life is a library of new information for them to go through a day without wondering about something. You should not only be receptive to their questions at all times, but you should go as far as to encourage them to ask. Taking your child seriously and listening with respect is crucial to learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parents often have the false notion that they need to be a science expert themselves, or have answers to all of their child's questions. The fact is, it is constructive to make the science subject easier and interesting with the science supplies. There are different kinds of supplies available on the market for the better understanding of the wonderful subject. These are Science Boards, Science Equipment, Life Science, Human Anatomy, Health & Nutrition, Microscopes & Magnifiers, Nature Studies, Environment & Weather, Charts, Lab Equipment, Optics & Light, Slide Strips, Project Boards, Science Kits, Space Science and Science Fairs & Experiments. Science is all about experimentation and discovery. And, these supplies will demonstrate the value of learning new things.</div>

In these technology days, it is one of the easiest tasks for children to learn science quickly. Most of the children would like to do their science experiments with some incredible science toys and kits. Science is one of the easiest subjects to learn with these science kits. And here one thing to remember that science is different from scientific.<br /><br />Obviously, the science experiments involve with great project group discussion, which often lead to toy science fun. There are so many stores situated at the country are selling these incredible science experiment kits, which are made by some esteemed manufacturers are presented in an easy way. And also with the design of these kits, your children will learn some incredible facts about the different scientific disciplines. For example, with a single experiment with these kits, so many children would be able to understand the atmosphere conditions around our planet.<br /><br />After the completing the experiment, your children will amaze about these kits. And also it will help them to learn science quickly, and also it is very much useful in their future research and education. There are various types of kits available like chemistry, biology, ecology, astronomy and some other various fields of experiment kits. It has been observed in various American schools that so many children are easy to learn that why sky is the blue, cause of rains, bending lights and some other experiments that also reveals the mysteries of earth.</div>

There are gender differences in learning styles specific to science, math, engineering and technology (STEM) that teachers of these subjects should keep in mind when developing lesson plans and teaching in the classroom. First, overall, girls have much less experience in the hands-on application of learning principles in lab settings than boys. This could occur in the computer lab, the science lab, or the auto lab – the principle is the same for all of these settings – it requires an overall technology problem-solving schema, accompanied by use and manipulation of tools, and spatial relation skills that very few girls bring with them to the classroom on day one in comparison to boys.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s look at some of the reasons why girls come to the STEM classroom with less of the core skills needed for success in this subject area. Overall, girls and boys play with different kinds of games in early childhood that provide different types of learning experiences. Most girls play games that emphasize relationships (i.e., playing house, playing with dolls) or creativity (i.e., drawing, painting). In contrast, boys play computer and video games or games that emphasize building (i.e., LEGO®), both of which develop problem-solving, spatial-relationship and hands-on skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A study of gender differences in spatial relations skills of engineering students in the U.S. and Brazil found that there was a large disparity between the skills of female and male students. These studies attributed female student’s lesser skills set to two statistically significant factors: 1) less experience playing with building toys and 2) having taken less drafting courses prior to the engineering program. Spatial relations skills are critical to engineering. A gender study of computer science majors at Carnegie-Mellon University (one of the preeminent computer science programs in the country) found that, overall, male students come equipped with much better computer skills than female students. This equips male students with a considerable advantage in the classroom and could impact the confidence of female students.</div>
