Science Books and Documents of Aligarh Muslim University Get Translation in URDU

Science is now sharing a space with the Urdu speakers too. With the help of the former dean and advisor of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare how it got introduced has been discussed here. The Aligarh Muslim University has banged the education sector after declaring the news of translating the science books. Prof Anis Ahmad Ansari, the faculty of Unani Medicine and former dean, the former advisor of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare affirmed the news saying that all the science related documents and books will get under a quick translation and that too will be attained at a large scale. This is because of the fact that at a time too many Urdu speaking people can access the science sector without any hiccups. In the First National Workshop, Prof Ansari was elected as the chief guest and was invited there for the valedictory assembly of the translation of Urdu of the Science Books. This program was held by Vigyan Prasar, undertaken by the Government of India under the department o

The Best Educational Science Book For Studying Human Anatomy

If you are searching for an anatomy atlas then you have probably already heard of Grant, Netter and of course Gray's. An Atlas of Anatomy (Thieme Anatomy) by Gilroy, MacPherson, Ross and Schuenke should be considered up there with the best. Gilroy's atlas is blessed with over 2000 impressive full-colour illustrations by Voll and Wesker. These two artists have managed to achieve an effective 3-dimensional representation of structures. An excellent bonus feature with this atlas of anatomy is the rub-off code you get which gives you access to the interactive website "winkingskull.com". The atlas contains many tables and charts providing ready reference and easy to find information at a glance. It has been written as a tool for learning anatomical relationships, not as a surgeon's reference. Great for students, because you can "read" a chapter and the book will help you build an understanding of the body. You will likely have those "Aaaaahhh...that make

Educational Science Book Recommended For Curious Minds - Book Review

What do you know about science? Would you like to know more? Would you like your children to grow up with a background of science knowledge? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then let me recommend a very good book for you: "The Scientist - Life Science Library Series" by Henry Margenau, David Bergamini and the Editors of Time Life Books - 1964. This book is jammed packed with information and historical scientific pictures including the cover which features James D. Watson, the co-discoverer and Nobel Prize winner for his work in DNA. Indeed, even with all the pictures this work is quite serious and the introduction is written by the former President of the National Academy of Sciences, Frederick Seitz. The book has chapters on Human Beings and Biological Symmetry, the instruements that help us give science meaning, method and accuracy, explanation of the scientific method, the various areas of science in an ever expanding tree, communication in science, futuristi

Does Science For Kids Begin And End In The School Science Lab?

Science for kids is sometimes a bit of a frustration, or in some cases an enigma! When I taught science to high school students the question that was often put to me was "Yea, but what relevance is this going to be to me later in life?" I suppose that is a fair question, as I asked the same of studying Shakespeare when I was at school. Now, with some years of "real life" under the belt, I can look back and realize the lessons that even dear old Mr. Shakespeare taught me. Romance, what mistakes not to make and thinking with your head and not your heart (OK maybe a little bit of heart) being just some of the few that that great man taught even the most skeptic scholar, and this without me even knowing it! But I digress... this is not about Romeo and Juliet, but science. How relevant is science to every day life? Is it good enough to learn it in the classroom in order to pass the exam and leave it at that? Realistically, if a student's aim is to become an accountan

Educational Science Trips to Orlando and Tampa for Student Groups

Student groups have a wealth of life, earth and space scientific resources awaiting them in Orlando and Tampa. First-class science attractions, museums and hands-on learning programs will meet and exceed your classroom curriculum. Couple this with a Disney Youth Education Series, and you have one of the best science tours in the U.S. Orlando: In Orlando, your student group can glide through the wetlands on a beautiful Florida wildlife tour on the famous Boggy Creek Airboat Rides. These airboat tours start with a leisurely idle down a natural canal viewing exotic birds, turtles and Florida alligators in their own natural environment. Then your group will fly like the wind into the swamps experiencing the awesome feel of an airboat ride traveling up to 45 miles per hour. At Forever Florida, your group will experience a 4,700 acre eco-ranch and wildlife conservation area that encompasses nine distinct ecosystems, beautifully preserved just as nature intended.
