Thanks, Scott! Do you have any resources for teaching Biology and Chemistry to grades 10-12?

Hi Camron, you could check out this - https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ (and related by Googling) - and these ideas and resources here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme - but no resources yet in a realistic virtual earth, for example. Check this out as well - https://www.edx.org/course/effective-teaching-strategies-biology-trinityx-t003x ... And I hope we'll add all such great resources as they emerge further Biology and Chemistry wiki subjects here - to https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - and in many languages.  Cheers, Scott

These look interesting too - https://oso.stanford.edu/resources/ and https://cset.stanford.edu/pd/content-deepening-courses/stanford-academy-excellence-biology-teaching-oregon-health-sciences ... And http://www.openculture.com/free_k-12_educational_resources ... https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology and https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry and https://www.khanacademy.org/science/organic-chemistry ... Cheers, Scott

Electrostatic Playground. A virtual reality sandbox where you can see & touch physics. My team's new work. https://t.co/x252fcFC2F@medialab

Hi Matty,

Hi M,

Just shared this with the non-theist Friends' Planning Group email list, which you might enjoy. It's about the 9th email in a thread entitled "[NTF-planning] FGC Gathering 2019" so you won't have the previous threads in mind when reading this :) -



thanks John and David, & NtF planners, so much for your focus on a 'theological' diversity spectrum among NtFs, FGCers, and in the unprogrammed tradition of the Q-RSOF as well. Am a bit of a non-theological non-theist friendly Friendly NtF (having written my Reed College thesis on liberation theologian Rosemary Ruether's "Sexism and God-Talk" - she's also a California feminist theologian, and living in southern California still I think) ... so a kind of Reed religion thesis (1985), which of the four tracks in this Religion major at the time  - history, philosophy, social science and theology, - was technically a thesis in feminist 'theology'  ...

Instead, and per my "Hippy-anjali Yoga Notations" - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html - am an appreciator f/Friendly-wise re non-theism of its SPICEY simplicity (in addition to being a bit or a kilted Yogi, I'm also a Taoist American appreciator of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu:).

Seeking to improve too on the academics of Huston Smith's "Religions of Man" (1958) ... with its 7 world religions ... African religions were elided, plus it's problematic in quite a few other ways ... and I think the field of world religion could be construed re the Internet in very new and rigorously excellent ways, by various academics (including NtFs, in our ongoing innovations in the RSOF:).

I'm also a bit in the Dawkins' camp in all these matters too - https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins ... re sound thinking, with a Kenyan / African / Anglo / English / Berkeley twist.

A lot of Quaker-Muslims have come to study in the US thanks to the Ramallah Friends' School, which is IB and taught partly in Arabic too ... & re the AFSC's Joyce Ajlouny ...  and some may come to FGC ... how might we invite them to the FGC NtF sessions, I wonder? Your focus on theological diversity may be a very sound approach.

Just adding my further my 2-cents, and a vote for your Friendly sharing.

Friendly diversity-thanks again, and cheers,
Scott
