Did life ever exist on #Mars? We’re on a mission

Did life ever exist on #Mars? We’re on a mission to find out. On July 30th, 2020 at 7:50 a.m. EDT, @NASA is slated to send their fifth Mars rover on its journey to the Red Planet. (Video link in bio.) The #Perseverance rover and a small helicopter named Ingenuity will be searching for signs of ancient microbial life in #JezeroCrater (pictured). Its expected landing date is February 18th, 2021.
🚀
“On ancient Mars, water carved channels and transported sediments to form fans and deltas within lake basins. Examination of spectral data acquired from orbit show that some of these sediments have minerals that indicate chemical alteration by water. Here in Jezero Crater delta, sediments contain clays and carbonates.”
🚀
Learn more about the mission on TKSST.com.

I absolutely love Count on Me (link in bio), a #pi

I absolutely love Count on Me (link in bio), a #picturebook by @tancomiguel. In it, a young girl describes her passion for #math: “Math is all around us. It’s often hidden, and I love finding it.“ She finds it in playgrounds, in trees, in the concentric circles that a rock makes on the surface of a pond, in flying paper airplanes…
📔
“Everyone has a passion. For some, it’s music. For others, it’s art. For her mom, it’s science. For our heroine, it’s math… There are infinite ways to see the world. And through math is one of them.” I wish we’d had this one when my #kids were very small. This illuminating #book should be read early and often. It’s an instant classic.

I’ve thought a lot about how #JohnLewis’ MARCH

I’ve thought a lot about how #JohnLewis’ MARCH has helped my kids, and so many kids, better know these experiences and this fight for justice, set during a time in #history they might not have otherwise connected with as viscerally. And I’ve been thinking of Mr Lewis’ speech (via The Guardian) from when he and his co-author Andrew Aydin and illustrator Nate Powell accepted America’s National Book award for young people’s literature.
.
“Recounting how he grew up ‘very, very poor’ in rural Alabama, Lewis said there were ‘very few books in our home’, recalling a trip in 1956 to try and borrow some books from the library.
.
‘I had a wonderful teacher in elementary school who told me: “Read, my child, read”, and I tried to read everything. I love books,” said Lewis. ‘When I was 16 years old, some of my brothers and sisters and cousins [were] going down to the public library trying to get public library cards, and we were told the library was for whites only, not for coloureds. To come here and receive this award this honour is too much. Thank you.’
.
Lewis has previously described March as a book ‘for all of America’, but in particular for young people, ‘to understand the essence of the #civilrights movement, to walk through the pages of history to learn about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence, to be inspired to stand up to speak out and to find a way to get in the way when they see something that is not right, not fair, not just’.”
.
Thank you, @repjohnlewis.

“My philosophy is very simple: when you see some

“My philosophy is very simple: when you see something that is not right, not fair, not just…do something! Get in trouble! Good trouble!” - John Lewis.

It’s been hard to keep the kids off their screen

It’s been hard to keep the kids off their screens this summer, especially with no camps to rely on. But we’re setting limits again, even when it’s good screen time. And then I set out a puzzle or toy they haven’t seen in a while and hope it catches their eye when they’re good and bored. 🔢🤞 Link in bio for this super affordable Montessori-style multiplication cube board. #math

When the kids were small, we built towers from spa

When the kids were small, we built towers from spaghetti and grapes. 🍇 Now that they’re older, I’d love to level up our skills and construct a spaghetti bridge that can hold a bag of sugar.
🌉
Visit TKSST.com/dyson (link in bio) to watch a @jamesdysonfoundation #video in which three #Dyson #engineers put their spaghetti bridge designs to the test. We’re definitely attempting this classic #STEMeducation #activity this summer.
