Columns: Finding the Strongest Shape
The shape of a structure and its parts is often as important as the materials those parts are made of. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, members of the cast bend and fold sheets of paper to see which shape is the strongest and will support the weight of a heavy book. Closed captioning included. Run time 03:33.
Marathon Migrators
There are many strategies animals use for staying close to their food sources, as this video segment from NOVA: "The Mystery of Animal Pathfinders" explains. One of the most remarkable of these strategies, however, is demonstrated by the red knot, a species of shorebird that flies 20,000 miles annually in its never-ending search for food, especially the eggs of spawning horseshoe crabs. Closed captioning included. Run time 6:00.
How Chocolate is Made
Chocolate comes from a tree. Mmm, trees. Of course, there's a ton of steps in between you're going to want to understand. That's where Food Science expert Dr. Kiki comes in. This video goes in depth on how chocolate is made, used, and classified as well as the history of chocolate. Dr. Kili also explains the science (and myths) behind the temptation, weight gain and tooth decay associated with chocolate. Chocolate also contains magnesium, iron, stimulant molecules, antioxidant phenolic compounds
How to Identify an Oak Tree
This 3:25 long video does an excellent job of showing students how to identify Oak trees. The narrator shows examples of leaves and acorns as well.
How to Identify Spruce Trees
The difference between spruce and pine trees is explained in this 2:48 minute video. The cones, shape of the tree, and needles are all clues to telling the difference between pine and spruce trees. The video moves slowly and it easy for students to follow. The use of spruce wood by the Wright Brothers is explained as well as the fact that there are about 35 species growing around the world.
Grammar Rock-Nouns
This video by School House Rock tells about nouns using a song and matching animation. Using various scenarios, such a putting a dime in the record machine, the song highlights various nouns (dime, Chubby Checker, etc.). It repeats that a noun is a person, place, or thing. A noun is a special word that names a person, place, or thing.
This is a fun teaching resource to introduce and/or reinforce nouns in the classroom and/or at home. (3:00)
Calisphere Themed Collection - 1939-1945: World War II: Everyday Life During World War II
The images in this topic provide a look at the everyday lives of Californians just before, during, and shortly after the years that the United States entered World War II. Although many men and women joined the military, many stayed home. These photographs show men, women, and children at work—many in war-related industries—at play, and at home. They also provide a glimpse into the lives of Japanese Americans, who were forced off their property and housed in internment camps for the duration
Calisphere Themed Collection - 1900-1940s: Emerging Industrial Order: Everyday Life and People
The images in this topic offer a glimpse of the ways people in cities and towns across California relaxed and entertained themselves during the first half of the 20th century. As new technologies and improved communications brought changes to the work week, people had more free time and new choices about how to spend it.

2.7 Representing feedback through system dynamics diagrams
There is increasing recognition that the reductionist mindset that is currently dominating society, rooted in unlimited economic growth unperceptive to its social and environmental impact, cannot resolve the converging environmental, social and economic crises we now face. The primary aim of this unit is to encourage the shift away from reductionist and human centred thinking towards a holistic and ecological worldview.
