3.2 Angular size, actual size and distance
The sun dominates our lives by defining our day, but how much do you know and understand about it? This unit will help you to explore the workings of the brightest star in our universe looking at its structure and the main processes taking place within it. You will also examine the phenomena of sun spots.
5.3 Signal speeds, propagation times and distance: the formula triangle
BBC News 24, Sky News, CNN – we live in an era where news has become almost instantaneous. This unit will look at how news is gathered and the technology used for its dissemination. You will also be encouraged to examine how information might be manipulated by questioning its reliability.
14 Where to learn more
Computer crashes are often the result of viruses, worms or Trojans as unfortunately some internet users want to cause havoc or vandalise your computer. This unit provides a guide to the downsides of living with the Net. Advice on how to deal with these dangers is provided and security issues like spyware and adware are explained. The unit also deals with protecting children online, and provides links to various helpful websites which deal with the problems raised.
5 Distance and closeness
In this unit, we are going to look at a number of situations which put a strain on the idea that caring is just 'being ordinary', including times when people are giving intimate care. In these special circumstances, since the normal rules do not apply, we have to develop a set of special rules to guide practice.
What do we mean by learning how to learn?
Learning how to learn: a process we all engage in throughout our lives, but no single method of learning guarantees success. This unit aims to make the process of learning much more explicit by inviting you to apply various ideas and activities to your own study as a way of increasing your awareness of your own learning. Most learning has to be an active process – and this is particularly true of learning how to learn.

How To Learn the Basic Spelling Rules Of English
Learn the basic spelling rules of English so you won't have to keep looking up words. Â The rules are presented using letter tiles and by narrating the rules as they show them with the tiles. Â A very easy to follow video for any school age child. Â You could even have students view it and be able to pause and explain.
Learn English Grammar Bonnie Terry, M. Ed. shows how to play an English grammar with a game. The game is called The Sentence Zone. The video shows how each part of the sentence is a different color. Children learn the parts of a sentence, such as a subject, verb, direct object, or preposition. The game is easy enough for parents or teachers to make and have fun learning. Video is of good quality and the idea she uses is good for parents and teachers.
