Bridges Around the World
It was during this week in 1932 that Australia’s Sydney Harbour Bridge first opened. At 160 feet wide, it’s the world’s widest. And it needs to be to accomodate eight vehicle lanes and two railway tracks, plus a bike path and a walkway! Checkout some other well-known bridges from other parts of the world in this Topic.
Making Water Safe to Drink
March 22 is #WorldWaterDay, which is intended to highlight the importance of freshwater, and to advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Find out in this Topic the different methods used to make our water clean.
Intelligence
It was during this week, in 1905, that Albert Einstein finished his scientific paper detailing his Quantum Theory of Light–one of the foundations of modern physics. He’d turned 26 just three days earlier. Arguably the most famous genius of the 20th century, he had more mental might than most. But how much more?
From Selma to Montgomery
On March 24, 1965 Dr. King and his supporters set out on the historic 54-mile march from Selma, AL to the capital of Montgomery. Protected (this time) by Army troops and the National Guard, the trip took them five days.
