Many schools in the United States use a system called Multi‑Tiered Systems of Support for behavior, or MTSS‑B. It is a layered plan that aims to help students who may need extra help before they become serious troublemakers. In a large study, researchers looked at almost 17, 000 kids from 42 schools
Cleaning up polluted land isn’t just about digging and dumping. It’s about understanding what’s happening underground and making smart choices fast. For years, experts have relied on site models—basically educated guesses—to decide how to remove harmful vapors from soil and groundwater. These models
Fourth-graders in one town now have special books and activities to explore the nature around them. A local group bought these new science books using money from a foundation. The books highlight plants and animals found right in the students’ neighborhoods. The project started when a child on a fi

Scientists often rely on energy calculations to understand how molecules behave in living cells. These calculations help explain how drugs bind to proteins, which is key to designing better medicines. But there's a catch: accurate calculations for large molecules like proteins are tough to do with r
Virginia schools have quietly transformed how they handle winter weather in recent years. Instead of canceling classes entirely, many now use remote learning to keep students on track.
