Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
2D cut of complete 3D simulations of gold tip and gold surface (tip-to-surface distance is 10 nm) excited by a laser pulse at 652 nm. Laser pulse propagates towards the screen and is polarized along tip's longer axis. Intensity is plotted in logarithmic scale and is normalized to it's maximum. Maximum ...
NASA KSNN What is gravity?
Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of nature. No one really understands exactly why, but gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. The mass of the objects and distance between the objects affects the strength of the force of gravity. Greater masses attract with more force and the force weakens as the objects get further apart.
Child Health
Welcome to the Child Health Course. This is one of the continuing professional development courses offered by AMREF through Distance Education. This course has been revised and contains the most current concepts such as integrated management of childhood diseases (IMCI). The course is designed to expose you as a health worker to that part of medicine concerned with the health and wellbeing of children and aims at updating your knowledge, attitudes and skills to enable you provide quality health
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning
This Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning (HETL) has been designed as a resource for educators planning to incorporate technologies in their teaching and learning activities.
HETL has been developed for a workshop delivered to Athabasca University faculty and reflects several years work with Peter at the Learning Technologies Centre at University of Manitoba.
Distance and online universities such as Athabasca, are well positioned to play a bridging role between tradition and emergenc
Sound Curricular Unit
Students learn the connections between the science of sound waves and engineering design for sound environments. Through three lessons, students come to better understand sound waves, including how they change with distance, travel through different mediums, and are enhanced or mitigated in designed sound environments. Students are introduced to audio engineers who use their expert scientific knowledge to manipulate sound for the production of music and film. They learn how the invention of the
Do as the Romans: Construct an Aqueduct!
In this activity, students work with specified materials to create aqueduct components that will transport 2 liters of water across a short distance in their classroom. The goal is to build an aqueduct that will supply Aqueductis, a Roman city, with clean water for private homes, public baths, and glorious fountains.
Planet Earth in Space - Quiz
Pupils will answer questions regarding: The Earth as a sphere. The movement of Earth. Heat and light from the Sun. Distance from earth to bodies in space.
Mathematical Modeling Using Real Radioactivity Data
In this lab, you can explore how radioactive radiation changes as a function of distance. This curriculum sets the Radioactivity iLab in the context of mathematics curriculum, asking you to consider:
What type of mathematical function governs the intensity of radiation over distance?
Coordinate Geometry Battleship
A twist on the traditional Battleship game - students practice finding the distance, midpoint, and slope between two points on a coordinate plane.
Wireless networking
These materials were developed as part of the Capacity building for community wireless connectivity in Africa initiative which was funded by IDRC and coordinated by APC.Training units Network planning, WiMax and non standard solutions, Energy for telecommunications systems, VoIP, Long distance wireless link, Community, gender and technology and Sustainability strategies were developed between 2007 and 2008 as part of the project TRICALCAR which was funded by ICA and coordinated by Wilac.net.

Learn about Music Intervals
Learn about Music Intervals - This is a short video article introducing intervals. Each interval has a unique name based on the distance they are apart. (2:21)
Vectors
Physics must explain not only why and how much, but also where and which way. Physicists and mathematicians invented a way of describing quantities that have direction as well as magnitude. Laws that deal with such phenomena as distance and speed are universal. And vectors, which describe quantities such as displacement and velocity, universally express the law of physics in a way that
Vehicle Stopping Distance
If you are traveling 20 mph, how far would your car go before stopping? This video adapted from KET's Street Skills explores the two parts of the stopping process: reaction time, how long it takes your brain to respond, and stopping distance, and the distance traveled between putting on the brake and coming to a stop. Run time 03:51.
The Planet Mars
This video shows the mass of Mars, distance to the Sun, what the atmosphere consists of, surface makeup, and what gives Mars its red color. Video shows Mars' clouds and what they consist of. This video is set to music, words are on the page, there is no reading.The video has a lot of good pictures. Run time 10:02.
