Only areas that fall on the North and South Poles or are in very close proximity to either, experience a 6-month-long night and day.  It`s a common misconception that all the places in the extreme north experience this phenomenon of a 6-month-long day and an equally long night. Although there are parts in the north of Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Russia, Canada, Alaska (US) and Finland that experience such long days and nights but it`s just that in the summers, days get very long and in winters they get very short. It`s not like there is an extremely long period of only daylight and then a long period of darkness.  A pole, the end of a planetary axis, is either tilted toward the sun, and stays in the Sun as the Earth spins, or tilted away from the Sun, and cannot move into daylight. Therefore it`s only the POLES (North and South), that experience 6-months of daylight and then 6 months of darkness.  Only areas within the Arctic Circle or Antarctic Circle (a latitude ...

Here is the perfect assessment to test your young learners on labeling the 50 states! Each state is given a number on a blank map of the United States, and a second page lists the numbers in order for learners to identify. 

Youngsters work in groups to solve clues involving latitude and longitude coordinates in order to decipher mystery animals in this fun learning experience!

Students analyze data and statistics about countries around the world. They read graphs and charts, color a world map to illustrate the top ten statistics about the world, and write a paragraph to summarize their information.

With about 70% of the earth's surface covered in oceans, it's fair to say that we live in a very wet world. Young scientists gain a better appreciation of this fact as they use maps to identify the world's ocean basins in the first lesson of this three-part earth science series.

Where in the world is the equator? Explore a world map with your class, coloring in oceans, continents, and rainforests while locating the three major lines of latitude: the equator, Tropic of Cancer, and Tropic of Capricorn. Discuss how the tropical belt is where the sun's energy is focused, allowing for the growth of rainforests. Most appropriate for third and fourth graders, use this as a great introduction to a unit on climates and biomes.

CHENNAI: Hyperloops may appear to be a far cry from reality, but railway minister  Suresh Prabhu  has expressed interest in pursuing the  futuristic idea of transporting people in travel pods +  shuttling through a  vacuum tube  installed on pillars. Los Angeles-based company Hyperloop One has announced five new lines in India selected through a global challenge and is now urging people to vote for the first line that should be built in the country. The lines include  Bengaluru-Chennai +  (334 km in 20 minutes), which is a passenger and freight corridor that is growing at 15% a year, Mumbai-Kolkata via Chennai (220 minutes), and Mumbai-Chennai via Bengaluru (1,102 km in 50 minutes), which has the potential to boost the capacity of ports in Mumbai and Chennai and create "a  Suez Canal  like link between the two coasts," according to Hyperloop One.

In a bid to improve the quality of education in government run schools, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has decided to introduce smart classes through the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in all the government run secondary and higher secondary schools. “With the introduction of smart classes, the experience of learning will become simpler and grasping. Especially it will help to demystify the learning of maths and science subjects,” said Khandu, adding, “Introduction of smart classes will be first made on pilot basis on select few government schools. Thereafter on success of the project, it will be extended to rest of schools.” “Post introduction of smart classrooms, the blackboards will give way to digital screens, and pens will be replaced with keyboards and mouse,” he clarified, adding, “The smart classrooms will use K-Yan also known as Knowledge Yan, which is a compact teaching-aid that comes packed with projector, PC and DVD in a single bo...

NEW DELHI: PM  Narendra Modi 's upcoming visit to Israel in July, the first by an Indian Prime Minister, will not see him travelling to  Palestine , a decision that underscores the "de-hyphenation" of India's relations with the two West Asian states. Modi's visit, billed as historic, is a significant step in openly embracing a relationship that his predecessors fostered while avoiding public displays. Contrary to expectations that Modi would include Palestine in his itinerary too, like many ministers did in the past, he will be travelling only to Israel. In a balancing act though, India is likely to host  Palestinian President  Mahmoud Abbas before Modi sets off for Israel. "Mr Modi is not visiting Palestine on this occasion. Inshallah, our President will be here this year," Palestinian ambassador to India Adnan Abu Alhaija confirmed to TOI. The delicate reworking of ties between the two states has seen India set up a joint commission co-chaired by mini...
