Social Psychology
This is a good website with lots of links for anyone doing research or interested in knowing more about social psychology. I think it's a good reference for any social psychology class. It has many links that are organized into helpful categories.
Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History
This site includes a collection of nine historical mysteries which draw students into Canadian history, critical thinking and archival research through the enticement of solving historical cold crimes. Each of the mystery archives includes an average of 100,000 words in English (and in French), as well as up to several hundred images plus maps. Some of the mystery websites also include 3-D recreations, videos and oral history interviews. Site users can look at the collections of archival materia

The anatomy cook book : a dissection guide with recipes
The Anatomy Cookbook has been written to accompany an anatomy and physiology course for bioengineers who would otherwise have missed out on the opportunity to study real organ systems at first hand. It is not an alternative to a standard anatomy text, it acts more as a laboratory supplement. The fun bit is that your kitchen takes the place of the dissection room. Each recipe provides an insight into one or more organs, and all you need to do is go to the supermarket and be prepared to think abou
Provide protection for children and report according to centre policy and guidelines
Research the legislative and ethical guidelines that a child care centre needs to follow. Topics include: providing protection for all children, following lawful instructions and regulations, following policies and procedures, maintaining confidentiality, providing accurate records and carrying out the required reporting.

12.409 Hands-On Astronomy: Observing Stars and Planets (MIT)
This class introduces the student to the use of small telescopes, either for formal research or as a hobby.
This course covers background for and techniques of visual observation, electronic imaging, and spectroscopy of the Moon, planets, satellites, stars, and brighter deep-space objects. Weekly outdoor observing sessions using 8-inch diameter telescopes when weather permits. Indoor sessions introduce needed skills. Introduction to contemporary observational astronomy including astronomical com
The Diabesity Tsunami
Dr. Robert Gabbay of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center discusses the worldwide epidemic of diabetes and obesity, which he calls "The Diabesity Tsunami" because of its extent and ability to devastate lives. This discussion took place at the Penn State Downtown Theatre, in State College, PA, as the second Research Unplugged event of the Fall 2010 season. For more information, see http://www.rps.psu.edu/unplugged/fall10/october20.html
22.611J Introduction to Plasma Physics I (MIT)
In this course, students will learn about plasmas, the fourth state of matter. The plasma state dominates the visible universe, and is of increasing economic importance. Plasmas behave in lots of interesting and sometimes unexpected ways.
The course is intended only as a first plasma physics course, but includes critical concepts needed for a foundation for further study. A solid undergraduate background in classical physics, electromagnetic theory including Maxwell's equations, and mathema
Design of an eLearning System for Accreditation of
Non-formal Learning
This paper deals with issues related to the non-formal learning in vocational
education, and the role of ICT for providing appropriate accreditation model in such
education. The presented conclusions are based on the Leonardo da Vinci project
LeoSPAN. The paper emphasises on the development of a model and a prototype
of an adaptive eLearning system that ensures the pre-defined learner outcomes.
One of the advantages of the eLearning system is the flexibility for people who

This short Quarantine Information Card (QIC) from Defra's Food and Environment Research Agency provides information on Monilinia brown rot, a fungal disease which mainly affects members of the Prunus family. The QIC includes details of the hosts, distribution, symptoms
On average, about 800 tornadoes occur in the United States each year. They can appear and disappear in moments, and key details about their formation are unknown. These factors make the research to understand and predict tornado occurrence extremely difficult. This video segment adapted from NOVA describes the challenges of studying tornadoes and shows how computer simulations are helping researchers observe what they can't possibly see in a real storm. Closed captioning included. Run time 06:
Patterns occur everywhere in art, nature, science and especially mathematics. Being able to recognise, describe and use these patterns is an important skill that helps you to tackle a wide variety of different problems. This unit explores some of these patterns ranging from ancient number patterns to the latest mathematical research.
