Pitt Meadows, BC teacher, Martin Hart, heard this one mentioned on CBC
last weekend. It’s a collection of current news broadcasts online.? I’m
not sure how or whether it is moderated but it might offer some
interesting materials for classroom discussion!

I don’t know that I’ve ever fully understood this game – it seems to be
a mix between a shell game and statistics.? But List Member, Mike
Belluz, found the online version of Deal or No Deal.

List member, Diane Hammond, wrote about this tribute to flight:
?December 17, 1903, 10:30 A.M.
Kill Devil Hills, near Kitty Hawk in North Carolina
The Wright Flyer lifted from level ground and Orville Wright achieved the
first powered, controlled, sustained and piloted flight. His brother, Wilbur
Wright, timed the flight with a stopwatch from the ground. On that first
flight, the Wright Flyer traveled slightly more than 9 meters; the flight
lasted 12 seconds.
The Wright brothers were the first to fully appreciate the interaction and
interdependence of aerodynamic stability, propulsion, and flight dynamics.
The YES I Can! Science Team of York University has created an online
resource for middle school teachers providing background information,
transparency masters, investigations, and topics for discussion in order to
facilitate student understanding of concepts related to aerodynamics and
flight.?
