Today’s holiday recognizes all the games you play on a tabletop—from chess and checkers to Pictionary and puzzles. If you haven’t had a family game night in a while, today’s the perfect excuse to clear off the table and start a fun family competition! International Tabletop Day was founded in 2013 by Boyan Radakovich, a producer of the popular YouTube Channel, Geek and Sundry, to take a break from video games, and have a reason to crack open a puzzle with friends and family. Break Out These Facts While Breaking Into a New Game Some of the most beloved tabletop games have very interesting origins. Did you know that Candy Land was invented in the polio wing of a hospital? Yes, that’s right! In the early 1940s, Eleanor Abbott, a school teacher, was diagnosed with polio. As she spent her days in the hospital, she created Candy Land as an outlet for her imagination and an escape from the polio ward. Another interesting game origin: Jenga! The very popular tabletop stacking game was created by Leslie Scott. As a child, Leslie and her family developed the game using wooden building block toys from a sawmill in Ghana. The name comes from the Swahili word “kujenga,” which means “to build.” Tabletop games are a beloved pastime, often passed down through the centuries! Take a look at some of these other board (but not boring) game facts: The longest game of Monopoly went on for 70 days. In Chess, the word “Checkmate” comes from the Persian phrase “Shah Mat,” which means “the King is dead.” There are 50 different versions of Uno. Whoever goes first in Connect Four can win 100% of the time. Monopoly’s original name was “The Landlord’s Game.” Operation started as the college project of a sophomore industrial design student. Chutes and Ladders (or Snakes and Ladders) originated in India as early as 200 BC. Scrabble is an official sport in several countries. There is an international speed-puzzling competition called the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship. Tonight, dig out some old tabletop games, gather up your family, and dazzle everyone with your newfound knowledge! Tabletop Puzzles to Get You Started To blend family competition and education, put together Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Puzzles. With anatomical reference guides included, learning anatomy has never been so much fun! Because of their scientific focus, Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Jigsaw Puzzles make puzzle-building an educational activity for the whole family. Spleen, stomach, sternum, and skull. With these anatomy puzzles, no minute will ever be dull! Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Jigsaw Puzzles—now available through Science Naturally.

"Science is all about wonder. Women in Physics gets us wondering how the world really works. It introduces children to the female icons of physics who opened doors for the rest of us!" — Donna Strickland, Ph.D., Recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics Women from around the world, such as Dr. Strickland, have made significant contributions to the scientific community. A professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo, Dr. Strickland’s research in intense laser pulses paved the way for today’s laser eye surgery and the machining of small glass parts for cell phones. While we celebrate her work, we need to keep in mind that she is one of only four women to ever receive a Nobel Prize in Physics. In fact, only 22 out of the 623 recipients of STEM-related Nobel Prizes are women—a mere 3.5%! Children’s books such as Women in Physics, with its Spanish language edition, Las mujeres en la física, help inspire young minds -- and future Nobel Prize winners -- by showing that anyone can be a scientist. In fact, inspiring children is the reason we published the entire Science Wide Open series. STEM Magazine hopes to trigger that curiosity in search of innovation. The April cover story on the Women in Physics book is a wonderful reminder of how children today can learn from the past. Click on the link below to read the story. Then try your hand at completing the activity below to see if you can match the amazing female physicist to her scientific discovery. “Women in Physics” Celebrates Female Scientists, Old and New Excerpted from STEM Magazine April 2021 Physics educators have long pondered how to get elementary school learners excited about a field of science that even adults find intimidating. How can we simplify difficult topics and tap into a child’s natural curiosity? In a simple, easy-to-understand format, Women in Physics, and the Spanish edition, Las mujeres en la física, use quirky illustrations and relatable role models to explore fundamental concepts such as gravity, atoms, and energy. The third book in the award-winning Science Wide Open series, this title helps children feel more comfortable with the daunting field of physics and gets them excited about it, too. Most kids know who Albert Einstein is, but how many female scientists can they name? Female role models in STEM education are important because they can leave an impact on children, and especially girls, for years to come. They can inspire a budding scientist to pursue her dreams to cure disease, discover a new element, or prove her own hypothesis. Representation in STEM is also vital, especially for young girls, because it assures them that they, too, can make a difference in the world. Designed for readers ages 7–10, Women in Physics and Las mujeres en la física are the perfect pathway to help young scientists understand the power of curiosity and resilience. The book introduces readers to the wonders of physics through a conversation between a spunky young protagonist, who asks questions about the world around her, and a scientifically astute narrator, whose answers are crafted to be understandable to young minds. A variety of countries, eras, and languages are represented through the compelling female scientists profiled in this book. Readers learn about groundbreaking scientific discoveries and the trailblazing women who made them possible. Continue reading the full article here!

Whether it’s by building lego sets with friends, digging in the dirt outside with the neighborhood kids, or by testing out hypotheses with family members—STEM education starts early. And when you combine science and literacy, the potential for education is endless. Science starts with curiosity, asking questions, answering them, and most importantly, discussing them. Many successful scientists worked in teams, consulting their lab groups and fellow researchers as the work progressed. When we think about some of the greatest achievements in the last century, they were often the outcome of collaboration. Undertakings such as the International Space Station, the Human Genome Project, and the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership are all the result of bringing people together from diverse backgrounds, often across borders, to promote fresh ideas and new perspectives. Journey into your high school science classroom, throw on some lab goggles, find a beaker, and take our quiz to find out for yourself which famous woman in physics would be your lab partner!

March is here. It’s time to celebrate Women’s History Month! This is our chance to honor the women who haven't always been recognized for their accomplishments—especially within the STEM fields. For years, decades… even centuries, too many women in science have received no recognition or have had their contributions marginalized. One such woman was Barbara McClintock who conducted pioneering work with transposons or “jumping genes.” Initially she was ridiculed for her work. Thirty years after these genes had become commonly accepted, decades after her breakout work, she finally received a Nobel Prize—and she was the first woman to receive an unshared Nobel. Help us celebrate Women’s History Month by learning about Dr. McClintock and some of the other amazing women who have made science what it is today. There are so many ways to work in a STEM field, with a specialization for almost everyone. The possibilities for inclusion and specific niche interests are endless!

21121 is a prime number, and it is today’s date, but it is more than that... it is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Just six years ago, the United Nations General Assembly officially recognized February 11 as the day women and men, scientists and nonscientists from all over the world, come together to honor the dedication, hard work, and breakthroughs of women in STEM fields. If you have never before celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, today is a great time to start. We are increasingly coming to recognize the many achievements, big and small, of women in science. You may have heard about the pioneering Blackwell sisters. Elizabeth, who in 1849, became the first woman in the U.S. to graduate from medical school, and her sister, Emily, who also became a doctor, opened the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, the first hospital staffed by women. Learning how much women have contributed to science, math, technology, engineering, and other fields not only helps us appreciate the doors they have opened, but also encourages children, and especially, girls, to pursue STEM education. Even today, only about 30 percent of scientific researchers are women, and women of color are the least represented in STEM careers. Despite this disheartening data, women have been pioneers in their fields, leading life-changing achievements and creating new research methods and innovations throughout history. To help kick off this wonderful day, here’s some information on just a few of the amazing, ground-breaking women in science! Alice Ball (1892-1916) Alice Ball was an African American chemist and the first woman to earn a master’s degree from the University of Hawaii. At 23, she developed a revolutionary treatment for leprosy, which became the established practice for decades. Her research directly impacted people living with leprosy in the 1900s and allowed them to be treated with dignity in their own homes, without being forced into exile. In Hawaii, February 29th is Alice Ball Day. Tu Youyou (1930-) Tu Youyou is a pharmaceutical chemist, who, in the 1970s, developed a malaria treatment using traditional Chinese herbal medicines. She worked relentlessly to find a cure to combat the disease. Many lives have been saved from tropical diseases with artemisinin, a drug she developed from extracts of the sweet wormwood plant. She received a Nobel Prize in 2015 for her work. Uma Chowdhry (1947-) Uma Chowdhry is an Indian American chemist who is credited with making breakthroughs both in scientific research and in management. She used her background in chemistry to discover ways to make ceramics conduct electricity much as metals do. She then went on to become the Chief Science and Technology Officer of DuPont, the world’s largest producer of chemicals and science-based products. In 1996, she was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and seven years later, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Compared to many other leading and steadily emerging countries, the U.S. lacks a strong focus on educating scientists and engineers. American women make up half the national workforce, earn more college and graduate degrees than men, and by some estimates represent the largest single economic force in the world. Yet the gender gap in science persists. And numerous studies have found that women in STEM fields publish less, are paid less for their research and do not progress as far as men in their careers. How does this change? As Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist and president of Barnard College, says, “It’s important for young girls to view examples of women scientists. But instead of framing these careers as something they can be, let’s show them science as something they can do.” * * * Looking for great books to inspire elementary school children about women in science?

"Women have lit up the scientific world since the dark ages (literally!), but their achievements have often been left in the dark." We couldn't have said it better. Women have had an instrumental role in science since it's very foundation, but most people couldn't name more than a couple female scientists. Why is that? And how can studying them inspire children today? Read on to discover the answers in an exclusive excerpt from our cover story in STEM Magazine. First up, put your knowledge to the test with a fun activity to see how many women in biology you know. Answers Below Did you guess any biologists' hometowns and discoveries correctly? Whether you got them all, or none, correct, you can now say you know the names of some of the most important women in biology. Read an excerpt from our STEM Magazine cover story below to learn why it's so important for children today to learn from the past! “Women in Biology” Encourages Children to Dream Big Excerpted from STEM MAGAZINE STEM education in the elementary years promotes critical thinking, encourages an openness to new ideas, and emphasizes the importance of making decisions based on data. Along with testing science and math knowledge, it is equally important to provide kids—especially girls—with inspiring role models to encourage their budding interest in STEM fields. A new series of children’s books were designed to show children a sampling of the trailblazing scientists of generations past. The Science Wide Open books focus on women in STEM fields. It kicks off with Women in Biology, which was just released October 7 in paperback and eBook, and Spanish paperback and eBook. Coming soon are paperback and Spanish Women in Chemistry and Women in Physics. [The hardback books were published in 2016 through a Kickstarter campaign.] Women have lit up the scientific world since the dark ages (literally!), but their achievements have often been left in the dark. In fact, of the more than 600 Nobel Prizes that have been given out in the sciences (Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine/Physiology), just 20 have gone to women. With this in mind, Mary Wissinger, a mom and former teacher in St. Louis, MO, dove into the history books and unearthed women who helped made the STEM fields what they are today. The result: the Science Wide Open series, where children are introduced to some of the female scientists as well as to basic concepts in biology, chemistry, and physics. This series, designed for children ages 7-10, is the perfect way for young scientists to understand the power of curiosity and resilience while discovering the wonders the world holds. Women in Biology starts with a conversation between a spunky young protagonist, who asks questions about the world around her, and a scientifically-astute narrator, whose answers are crafted to be understandable to young minds. These two explore some of the basics of science together, and their dynamic makes learning new vocabulary an effortless outcome of enjoying the story. With the release of the book in Spanish, even more children can experience the power of curiosity. Eva Woods Peiró, Ph.D., Professor, Hispanic and Women's Studies at Vassar College, writes, “Las mujeres en la biología, is an exceptionally written, vividly illustrated and clearly narrated short history of the foundational contributions of women to the biological sciences. It explains required scientific concepts for K-12 curriculum in a way that is sure to captivate young minds and inspire them to dream big.” Readers can expand and extend the content in Women in Biology and Las mujeres en la biología with Science Naturally's extensive Teacher's Guide.

In this crazy time, people have discovered (or rediscovered) all different ways of relaxing. Have you made sourdough bread yet? Unearthed your dusty garden tools? We have a great way for you to exercise your brain with some out-of-the-box thinking… literally! Open a jigsaw puzzle and challenge yourself to some non-screen-time problem solving. Using Both Sides of Your Brain Puzzles are fun... but they are so much more. They are food for the brain. When you set out to complete a puzzle, you’re getting a mental workout because both the left and right sides of your brain need to engage. The left side uses logic to determine which pieces go together, the right side contributes intuitive thinking -- which is why you just know that those two pieces should fit together. Plus, the mental workout actually improves your problem-solving skills, your short-term memory, and your attention span. How Puzzles Affect STEM Education All that mental exercise is especially beneficial to children. Research shows that building puzzles can help with cognitive and emotional development, increasing kids’ organization and concentration, as well as teaching them patience and self-confidence. Puzzle-making also aids in their physical development because puzzles require motor coordination and spatial skills, which are fundamental when STEM topics are introduced. Why Is That Important? Puzzles are a perfect opportunity to start STEM education early. Spending time as a family making puzzles is literally a building block for discussing science and math in the real world. Encourage questions while working: How many pieces are left? Does that piece have a right angle? What’s the name of that color? What percentage is complete? This early exposure to scientific thinking can encourage kids to develop a natural curiosity about the world around them. Find a puzzle with a science or math theme, and you can start even more conversations about STEM while putting it together. Piece Together Entertainment and Education New puzzles by educational board game company, Genius Games, do just that—combine family fun with a STEM challenge. Because of their scientific focus, Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Jigsaw Puzzles make puzzle-building an educational activity for the whole family. With 100% medical accuracy and 200% magnification, each of the three puzzles (Human Head, Thorax, and Abdomen) teach anatomy without the textbook. The puzzles stand alone at 21-25 inches each and can be combined to make an almost six foot replica of the human body. What a great way to build a young scientist! Spleen, stomach, sternum, and skull. With these anatomy puzzles, no minute will ever be dull! Dr. Livingston’s Anatomy Jigsaw Puzzles—now available through Science Naturally.

Biology, the study of living things, might seem like an intimidating subject best left until high school, but it is actually one of the easiest and best ways for children to engage with science. Life is all around us, giving kids the opportunity to learn hands-on in their own backyards! Why Biology? Biology is a broad topic, allowing children to pursue their own interests at their own pace. Learning more about a favorite animal, documenting the growth and development of a pet, or growing a plant or garden are all easy and interesting ways to introduce a child to biology. Biology can also turn a child’s attention to the development and health of their own body. The importance of exercise, nutrition, sleep, and more can all be approached through the lens of biology, and can help children see the importance of scientific inquiry and discoveries. Perfect for Kids Science lessons can be full of complex terminology and expensive equipment, but it doesn’t always have to be that complicated. Doing something as simple as identifying what types of trees live in your area by examining their leaves can be a fun way for children to explore the important concepts of diversity and ecosystems. To introduce habitats, try to name or draw all of the insects or flowers in your backyard. Give your child a plant to take care of, after explaining what plants need to live, to give them a sense of purpose and help them become better caretakers later on in life. Think of all of the living things that you encounter every day. Each one presents an opportunity for a child to engage with biology, helping them develop their cognitive skills. Scientific curiosity begins in childhood; help them develop it, and they will continue to be passionate about learning throughout their whole life. Starting Conversation and Solving Problems Not every interaction with science needs to be an experiment. Conversation helps develop a child’s ability to express themselves, solve problems, ask for help, and work together with others. Conversations about biology in particular are a gateway into topics such as anatomy, genetics, life cycles, and medicine. Biology is a vast subject, encompassing everything from the smallest of cells to entire ecosystems. Health, pollution, climate change, and food shortages are often talked about, and introducing kids to biology helps them better understand and engage with these complicated subjects. Thinking about these concepts and issues early on in life will help them become their generation’s problem-solvers. Not sure where to start? Science Naturally offers a number of books carefully crafted to introduce children to the world of science. Women in Biology, newly available in paperback in both English and Spanish, teaches children the basic concepts of biology through the contributions of influential women in science. Once they’ve finished reading about the diverse experiments in biology, they’ll be ready to start projects of their own. Also part of this series are Women in Physics and Women in Chemistry. If your little biologist is craving more scientific building blocks, introduce them to science at a molecular level with the All About Atoms book set, which includes Atoms, Protons and Neutrons, and Electrons.

Women have been making essential scientific discoveries since the dark ages (literally!), but their achievements often go unrecognized. In fact, the prestigious Nobel Prize has been around for 118 years, but women have only been awarded 3% of the total prizes in Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine/Physiology. Mary Wissinger, author of Women in Biology, did her research and wrote about just a few of the many women who have made the field of biology what it is today. Now, kids and adults can learn alongside the inspirational women who've changed the world with their scientific discoveries! Women in Biology is the first book in our Science Wide Open series. It will be out in paperback in English and Spanish this October. What better way to begin your own scientific explorations than by learning which female scientist you are most similar to?
