"Challenges and Controversies Surrounding California's Ethnic Studies Initiative"

California aims to implement ethnic studies in all public high schools by 2025, but faces controversy over its treatment of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The discipline, which focuses on Black Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, has a leftist, activist spirit and includes the Palestinian experience of displacement. California's 700-page model curriculum captures much of this spirit but omits discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, instead emphasizing "multiple perspectives" on political issues.

"Revolutionary High School Curriculum Integrates Color Chemistry and AI Education"

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a weeklong high school curriculum that combines color chemistry and artificial intelligence (AI) to engage students in science. The curriculum involves using pH test strips and machine learning software to predict pH levels in various liquids. The student-trained AI model was found to be 5.5 times more accurate than visual interpretations. The curriculum not only improved students' understanding of chemistry and AI but also motivated them to learn and explore innovative solutions. The researchers believe this approach can be scaled up to include more students and teach other color chemistry concepts.
