Indigenous and Western Science in the Primary Classroom
The paper considers three questions relating to science and education. The topic is shadows and light, viewed in the light of cultural, experiential, and pedagogical theory. The main indication is that there are different ways of learning, which can complement each other, particularly in a multi-cultural classroom setup. In other words, students are prepared to become future scientists.
NASA's Gemini Program: Missions, Science, and Moon Legacy
Throughout history, the idea of modern space travel has captured the human imagination. This began when early astronomers first started looking up at the sky and wondered about the universe. By the 1950s, these ideas became more realistic with development of rockets. This set the stage for a space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. At the heart of these objectives, was to see which nation would be the first to walk on the moon. The Gemini project was critical in helping America to reach these goals. This is despite the short term costs increases from $161 million to $242.70 million. What was learned during this process set the stage for the US to go to the moon and beyond. Moreover, many of the breakthroughs helped to advance scientific understanding of the universe and the world. These ideas are still being utilized as a foundation for various disciplines to this very day.

Is America a Christian Nation? Religion, Law, and Identity
The social view of the time was different than it is now, and there was a difference between the cultural heritage of religion and Biblical Christianity. There are examples from both sides of the argument that show America as one founded on the basic principles of Christianity – the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution being, for their time period, quite egalitarian. In the Declaration of Independence, for instance, there is a clear reference to the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
