Energy Resources: Coal
OpenLearn Resource - Time: 17 hours and Level: Intermediate. Part of S278 - Earth's Physical Resources/Energy: Fosssil fuels, Nuclear and Renewables. During the Industrial Revolution half of the world's coal came from Britain. We still rely heavily on it today to meet our energy needs, but now we input more than we produce. Burning it introduces large amounts of gases into the atmosphere that harm the environment in a variety of ways. In this unit it will become apparent that the most appeali

All Caught Up: Bycatching and Design
Bycatch, the unintended capture of animals in commercial fishing gear, is one of the hottest topics in marine conservation today. About 25% of the entire global catch is by-catch This surprisingly high level of by-catch is responsible for the decline of hundreds of thousands of dolphins, whales, porpoises, seabirds and sea turtles each year. Through this curricular unit, students will analyze the significance of by-catch in the global ecosystem and propose solutions to help reduce by-catch Stude

Energy Transfer in Musical Instruments
This lesson covers concepts of energy and energy transfer utilizing energy transfer in musical instruments as an example. More specifically, the lesson explains the two different ways in which energy can be transferred between a system and its environment. The law of conservation of energy will also be taught. Example systems will be presented to students (two cars on a track and a tennis ball falling to the ground) and students will be asked to make predictions and explain the energy transfer m

Looking At Learning...Again, Part 2
This classroom video footage encourages you to analyze existing theories about how children learn, as well as your own beliefs, and then examine how those beliefs might influence your teaching.,Students try to cut a sheet of notebook paper to make a "truss" as light as possible but still able to support a one pound weight hanging from it.

Kinetic and Potential Energy of Motion
In this lesson, students are introduced to both potential energy and kinetic energy as forms of mechanical energy. A hands-on activity demonstrates how potential energy can change into kinetic energy by swinging a pendulum, illustrating the concept of conservation of energy. Students calculate the potential energy of the pendulum and predict how fast it will travel knowing that the potential energy will convert into kinetic energy. They verify their predictions by measuring the speed of the pend

Le moment de Camus

A partir d’une question fondamentale sur la condition métaphysique de l’homme révolté (« l’absurde commande-t-il la mort ? ») cette leçon étudie, à un moment philosophique précis (celui de la deuxième guerre mondiale en France) à travers L’Homme révolté et les Lettres à un ami allemand, les trois tâches assignées par Camus à la philosophie : établir une métaphysique de l’Absurde, une morale de la Révolte, puis nous ramener à l’unité primitive masquée par lâ
