Memory

17 Feb 2010Ok, the animations in this one are incredible and slightly freaky. They rotate, color, and pop open your head in 3D to explain in clear detail how we input, process, and forget things. Very nice.

Winter Weather – ummmm and More Weather
In: Environment/weather Interactive Maps Science Source: USA Today
29 Jan 2010I think most of us absorbed this in earth science class, but if you need a refresher on how different air layers create different types of precipitation, here it is. (Also, the animations are quite pretty).
