Philadelphia Museum of Art: Teacher Resources
 |
| http://www.philamuseum.org/teacherresources |
These excellent teacher resources from the Philadelphia Museum of Art can provide hours of instructional guidance across a range of subjects. For instance, 100-Patch Geometric Quilts, one of the dozens of resources on the site, fulfills Common Core standards in three separate math content categories for grades two through four, while What Do Primary Sources Tell Us About Lifestyles? encourages the use of primary sources in social studies education. Each lesson plan includes sections providing background on the subject and outlining the lesson process, assessment suggestions, and ideas for enrichment. Teachers of various subjects, from art to social studies to literature, will find much on this site to inspire.

The
philosophy
of
science
concerns
itself
with
fundamental
questions
related
to
science,
such
as
what
is
-
and
is
not
-
science,
the
reliability
of
scientific
theories,
and
the
purpose
of
the
scientific
enterprise.
The
PhilSci-Archive
archive,
hosted
by
the
University
Library
System
of
the
University
of
Pittsburgh,
is
an
electronic
collection
devoted
to
the
rapid
dissemination
of
contemporary
philosophy
of
science.
This
means
users
are
presented
with
the
most
cutting
edge
articles
in
the
form
of
preprints
(early
versions
of
works
that
have
yet
to
be
peer
reviewed).
Readers
may
search
the
archive
using
a
variety
of
categories,
including
subject,
year,
or
even
conference.
If
unsure
where
to
start,
the
Latest
Additions
section
can
be
quite
enticing.
Here
readers
will
find
the
most
recent
submissions
to
the
archive,
which,
at
the
time
of
this
writing,
included
Joshua
Rosaler's
"Local
Reduction
in
Physics"
and
Sally
Shrapnel's
"Discovering
Quantum
Causal
Methods."

The Psych Show
 |
| https://www.youtube.com/user/thepsychshowdotcom |
Psychology, the study of mind and behavior, is both an academic discipline and an applied science. Though the subject is woven inextricably into every aspect of modern life, from psychotherapy to advertising, few people take the time to understand the foundations of this important discipline. Dr. Ali Mattu, a psychologist at Columbia University, is seeking to change that with The Psych Show, a fun-filled, fast-paced YouTube channel. Here readers will find episodes dedicated to the psychology of New Year's resolutions, the psychology of nostalgia, and a psychological argument for why diversity in media matters.
