Do you still have snow? Those beautiful snowflakes once started as a cold water droplet that froze on to pollen or a dust particle in the sky. Pretty groovy! #statesofmatter #snowflake #H2O #dihydrogenmonoxide

Presented in partnership with @PopularMechanics magazine, this month's groovy box "What's The Matter?" is all about ice and the #StatesOfMatter. Sign up for May's monthly subscription to ensure you get this groovy box for the #STEMist in your life. Pull a wire through a block of ice? This trick works thanks to a groovy phenomenon called 'regelation', in which ice melts from the pressure applied by a wire and freezes again when the pressure is reduced. #regelation What's Happening? The balloon ice weights pull the copper wire through the block of ice. The pressure applied by the weights forms a liquid directly under the copper wire.ย As the wire travels downward the liquid refreezes above the wire and forms back into a solid.ย This is similar to ice skating where the blades of a skater melt the ice directly underneath, allowing the skater to move smoothly on a thin layer of water. #STEMists do the "E" in STEM!

Female Aerospace Pioneers - Elizabeth โBessieโ Coleman In 1921 Elizabeth โBessieโ Coleman, a Texan, became the first civilian (non-military) licensed African-American pilot in the world. She went to France to learn to fly after her brothers, who served in World War II, told her French women were allowed to fly. When she returned to the United States she did air shows: barnstorming, parachute jumping, and giving demonstrations. Coleman would only perform if the audience was not segregated and all people got to enter the show through the same gate.ย This courageous and adventurous woman fell from the open cockpit of a plane during a test flight which ended her life on April 30, 1926.ย She was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006.

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by โdoingโ and โexperiencing,โ students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. Itโs this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
