BBC NEWS | Health | Internet use 'good for the brain'
For middle-aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.
A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulated centres in the brain that controlled decision-making and complex reasoning.
Pest Control Information for learning
Think of them as animals out of place. Out in nature, they're just doing their jobs. But when they move into our homes and yards, then we call them pests. So come explore the world of pests. Then use your new knowledge to outwit the pests in your world.

Learning graphically - comics about science
I think it makes concepts familiar, letting kids get comfortable with sometimes difficult topics before they're presented with the adult, "serious" versions - comics are the perfect medium for that!
Seismometer for the iPhone
Students learning about Planet Earth and beyond will value this Seismometer in their digital toolbelt. Measure everything that vibrates, shakes or moves. Or why not an actual earthquake?
Seismometer uses your iPhone’s built in accelerometer to measure movements in two axes, calculate the resulting energy and draw the results on a rolling logarithmic scale.
'Swiss cheese' universe challenges dark energy - space - 31 August 2007 - New Scientist Space
Dark energy may not be needed to explain why the expansion of space appears to be speeding up. If our universe is like Swiss cheese on large scales – with dense regions of matter and holes with little or no matter – it could at least partly mimic the effects of dark energy, suggests a controversial new model of the universe.

Why complex systems do better without us - being-human - 06 August 2008 - New Scientist
What Helbing and others are finding is that our penchant for regularity and control is seriously misguided.
-
WE HUMANS prefer the tidy to the untidy, the ordered to the disordered. We like pristine geometrical regularity, and eschew what is erratic and irregular. We want predictability and, more than anything, we want control.
