Gen Nano - National Science Foundation Contest

This is the second post of the day.  Yeah.  I thought I would give students that like contests the weekend to brainstorm.  From the National Science Foundation website, "The competition asks middle and high school students to use scientific research to drive or equip an original superhero. Students can envision science that is grounded in current research but not yet possible, allowing them to learn about the potentials and limitations of real-world science and technology.

A complete entry consists of two components: a written section and either a short comic or a 90-second video. Entrants should introduce their superhero, demonstrate how they incorporated scientific research into their superhero's story and explain how it drives them on their mission. Winners will be chosen from both the middle school and high school categories."

This is only for US students, sorry.  To see the contest website, click here.

Super Heroes in the Spanish Classroom

I saw this one on Catharyn Crane's webpage.  If you are teaching Spanish she has a list of a bunch of Super Heroes names in Spanish.  She also has a game that she plays at the bottom of her post.  The first two are games on her teacher pay teachers page that cost a couple bucks for the digital download but the third one is free.  You can see her post by clicking here.
