Jung speaks of Freud
Jung parle de Freud.
Une interview spontanée du Pr. Carl Jung dans sa résidence de Zurich le 7 août 1957. Le psychologue y expose tout d'abord l'éveil de sa vocation et l'influence exercée alors sur lui par les théories psycho-analytiques de Freud. Il explique ensuite comment ses propres théories en sont venues à différer de celles de son maître sur des points tels que le rôle de la sexualité dans les motivations humaines, les concepts de répression, d'inconscient et de co
L'appréhension des populations nomades dans l'histoire française
Cette conférence a été enregistrée dans le cadre du colloque Roms, Tsiganes et gens du voyage qui s'est tenu à Caen les 24 et 25 novembre 2011, organisé par le Centre de Recherche sur les Droits Fondamentaux et les Évolutions du Droit (CRDFED). L'objectif était de mieux connaître les populations concernées et de comprendre comment l
National Herbarium of the Netherlands
Established in 1999, the National Herbarium of the Netherlands (NHN) combines three University herbaria-Leiden, Utrecht, and Wageningen-and hosts approximately 5.5 million specimens, making it "one of the largest herbaria in the world." Site visitors can search an extensive Collection Database with categories for Type Specimens, Annonaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Orchidaceae, Wood, and more. In addition, the NHN website links to: research information about the University branches; a complete catalogue o
University of Illinois Extension-Schools Online: Let?s Talk About Insects
Let?s Talk About Insects is a fun educational program designed for nine to 11-year-old students by Schools Online at the University of Illinois Extension. The program utilizes numerous slides with cartoon-like illustrations, photographs, text, and audio narration to explore the world of insects. The program was developed to help students ?gain an appreciation of insects; learn how insects grow and develop (metamorphosis), and learn the importance of insects in our environment.?

Coalbed Methane
The US Department of Interior Web site offers a hot topics section that currently includes information about coalbed methane. The links include a fact sheet entitled "Coalbed Methane--An Untapped Energy Resource and an Environmental Concern." A documents link takes visitors to a page maintained by Wyoming's Bureau of Land Management that contains several reports related to the topic, including information about Atlantic Rim Coalbed Methane Projects and Coalbed Methane and Water Monitor Well Data
Swing in Time
Students examine the motion of pendulums and come to understand that the longer the string of the pendulum, the fewer the number of swings in a given time interval. They see that changing the weight on the pendulum does not have an effect on the period. They also observe that changing the angle of release of the pendulum has negligible effect upon the period.
Can You Catch the Water?
Students construct a three-dimensional model of a water catchment basin using everyday objects to create hills, mountains, valleys and water sources. They experiment to see where rain travels and collects, and survey water pathways to see how they can be altered by natural and human-made activities. Students discuss how engineers design structures that impact water collection, and systems that clean and distribute water.
Go Public: Osteoporosis Brochure
Students will answer the Challenge Question and use the acquired learning from Lesson 1, “Fix the Hip Challenge” and Lesson 2, “Skeletal System Overview”to construct an informative brochure addressing osteoporosis and the role biomedical engineering plays in diagnosing and preventing this disease.
How Do Seasonal Temperature Patterns Vary Among Different Regions of the World?
The purpose of this resource is to have students use GLOBE visualizations to display student data on maps and to learn about seasonal changes in regional and global temperature patterns. Students learn how sunlight spreads over the Earth at different times of the year, emphasizing the solstices and the equinoxes. Students investigate the effect of the Earth.s tilt on the spread of sunlight by modeling different tilts using a three-dimensional polyhedron which they construct from paper. Students
Factory Farms and Organic Alternatives
Modern farming has helped feed the world, but along the way, the land has suffered, according to this video adapted from the series Race to Save the Planet. When farmers grow too much too fast, topsoil is depleted. Farmers can work around this problem with fertilizers, irrigation, and pesticides, but these create new problems. Pesticides can harm wildlife, linger on fruits and vegetables, or wash into water supplies. Farmers are now finding new approaches to raising food, like diversifying crops
National Gardening : Kids Gardening
Kidsgardening.com is a resource for educators, families, and others who want to teach children about gardening. The teachers section provides stories, activities, teaching strategies, and questions with answers. Topics covered include botany, ecosystems, weather, soils, wildlife, horticulture, and how to integrate gardening into a curriculum. The mission of this site is to provide horticultural expertise, quality resources, meaningful networking opportunities, and ideas for sparking inquisitiven
Examine animations of fault motion
Developed for high school students, this Earth science resource provides animations of each of four different fault types: normal, reverse, thrust, and strike-slip faults. Each animation has its own set of movie control buttons, and arrows in each animation indicate the direction of force that causes that particular kind of fault. The introductory paragraph defines the terms fault plane, handing wall, and footwall--features that are labeled at the end of the appropriate animations. Copyright 200
