The restless Universe introduces you to major achievements and figures in the history of physics, from Copernicus to Einstein and beyond. The route from classical to quantum physics will be laid out for you without recourse to challenging mathematics but with the fundamental features of theories and discoveries described in sufficient detail to whet your appetite for further physics study.

3.1 Organisation and improved recall
The most ‘important and greatest puzzle’ we face as humans is ourselves (Boring, 1950, p. 56). Humans are a puzzle – one that is complex, subtle and multi-layered, and it gets even more complicated as we evolve over time and change in different contexts.
When answering the question ‘What makes us who we are?’, psychologists put forward a range of explanations about why people feel, think and behave the way they do. Just when psychologists seem to understand one bit of ‘who we are’

Starling's Forces
An examination of the roles of hydrostatic and oncotic pressure in movement of fluid and gases across the capillary wall.
Respiratory ventilation: anatomy and mechanics
Presents the purpose of ventilation, the anatomical parts involved, and the muscular activity that enables ventilation to take place at rest.
Heart Failure
This RLO deals with the pathophysiology of heart failure, drug treatments, and nursing management.
Choosing a Pyramid Site
Working in engineering project teams, students evaluate sites for the construction of a pyramid. They base their decision on site features as provided by a surveyor's report; distance from the quarry, river and palace; and other factors they deem important to the project based on their team's values and priorities.
RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us
This ten minute video reviews what really motivates people and what does not help. The results are of note to teachers and others at it shows that higher grades may not be motivating when creative thinking is being encouraged. Mastery is motivated by tangible things in some instance
Authors@Google: Gary Taubes
Gary Taubes spoke to Googlers in Mountain View on May 2, 2011 about his book Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It.
About the book:
An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.
Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes revisits the urgent question of what's making us fat and how we can change in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubess crucial

Biomes - by StudyJams
Ecosystems can get really big, and when they do, they are called biomes. The Earth is divided into six major land biomes. The major difference between is biome is climate. The biomes are taiga, tundra, deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, desert, and grassland. Learn more about biomes with this cartoon animation from StudyJams.

Pharm 476 - Principles of Research and Problem Solving Reducing Poverty Mississippi: Pre-Flood Flyover Light Scavengers
The causes of income inequality and the role of social welfare policy are examined. Updated 2003. (28:29)
A slower zoom to the Mississippi river.
In this activity, students examine various materials and investigate how they interact with light. Students use five new vocabulary words (translucent, transparent, opaque, reflection and refraction) to describe how light interacts with the objects.
