PlantingScience F2 Grant Award

We are thrilled to announce that we have been recently been awarded a 5-year, $3.9M grant from the USA's National Science Foundation. The new project extends previous research on PlantingScience, which showed improvements in student achievement and attitudes toward scientists. This grant will include developing and comparing an online format for collaborative teacher/scientist professional development to an in-person format, including comparing outcomes from students of teachers prepared through the different formats. Read more here.

Star Teams

Each week we feature some of the best projects of the current session here. Go to the Star Projects Gallery to see all the excellent work by star teams in past PlantingScience sessions.

This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1502892.

Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

Testimonials

"I liked that we didn't know what was going to happen before we did the experiment. Instead of being taught something and then just doing an experiment to prove it, we made an attempt to find out what would happen ourselves."
- PlantingScience Student

"At every opportunity, all involved kept reminding my students of the process that real science requires. This helped me to convince my students that they are really doing science - not just play acting until some future date."
- PlantingScience Teacher

"It is a lot of fun interacting with students from an age group I don't have the chance to spend a lot of time with. It is a good reminder of where public knowledge of plant science stands, and a great opportunity for me to practice explaining key concepts in a simple and straightforward way."
- PlantingScience Mentor

Welcome back!

The Academy is now open to the public. All guests, including members, must reserve timed-entry tickets in advance.

We've implemented some new health and safety measures for your protection:

Masks must be worn by all guests ages 3+.

Physical distancing is required at all times.

Some exhibits, including the planetarium, remain temporarily closed.

Click the link below to view complete safety information and reserve tickets. We hope to see you soon!

Ready, Set, Science!

Give science some staying power.

While the Academy is thrilled to reopen, the impact of our 7-month closure will be felt for years to come. You can help us inspire new audiences, protect threatened ecosystems, and bring science to students around the world by making a tax-deductible gift today.

Pantry staples from the genetic swap meet - May, 2021
To many people, genetically engineered food feels unnatural and repellent: Fish genes in strawberries? No thanks. Opponents often call them "Frankenfoods," suggesting that only a mad scientist could combine genes from different species in this way. But in recent decades, biologists have found that nature itself often plays fast and loose with DNA. Now, new research shows how important this inter-species genetic swap meet has been in grasses, a group that includes food staples like rice, corn, wheat, and sugar cane.

Tables charting the chemical elements have been around since the 19th century - but this modern version has a short video about each one.

We've done all 118 - but our job's not finished. Now we're updating all the videos with new stories, better samples and bigger experiments.

Plus we're making films about other areas of chemistry, latest news and occasional adventures away from the lab.

All these videos are created by video journalist Brady Haran, featuring real working chemists from the University of Nottingham.
