Identitat, mitjans de comunicació i testimonis
Ho va deixar escrit el reporter Ryskard Kapuscinki: "Es diu que els mitjans són el quart poder, però jo apujaria el seu lloc en el rànquing. Ja sabem que el seu paper en la política és cada vegada més rellevant i que ha fet que insurrectes i colpistes de tota mena canviessin l'objectiu dels seus atacs a tot el món: abans assetjaven palaus presidencials i seus de governs i parlaments, mentre que ara intenten fer-se en primer lloc amb el control de les emissores de ràdio i televisió.

Recepció i promoció del llibre i la lectura en la societat de la informació
La vida d'un text comença (no acaba) en el moment en què es publica. Aquesta assignatura proposa una aproximació al fenomen de la recepció i la promoció del llibre, la literatura i la lectura en la societat de la informació i combina la presentació de continguts teòrics -sobre les tecnologies de la lectura, els contextos digitals de recepció, les funcions de la crítica a Internet, les campanyes institucionals de promoció del llibre, el problema de la digitalització o les biblioteques

Photosynthesis: Life's Primary Energy Source
This lesson covers the process of photosynthesis and the related plant cell functions of transpiration and cellular respiration. Students will learn how engineers can use the natural process of photosynthesis as an exemplary model of a complex yet efficient process for converting solar energy to chemical energy or distributing water throughout a system.

Trash to Treasure!
Student teams use the engineering design process to create a useful product of their choice out of recyclable items and "trash." The class is given a "landfill" of reusable items, such as aluminum cans, cardboard, paper, juice boxes, chip bags, egg cartons, milk cartons, and etc. and each group is allowed a limited amount of bonding materials, such as duct tape, hot glue and string. This activity addresses the importance of reuse and encourages students to look at ways they can reuse items they

Glowing Flowers
Student teams learn about engineering design of green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) and the use of GFPs in medical research, including stem cell research. The use of GFPs is simulated by adding fluorescent dye to water and allowing a flower or plant to transport the dye throughout its structure. Students apply their knowledge of GFPs to engineering applications in the medical, environmental and space exploration fields. Due to the fluorescing nature of the dye, plant life of any color, light or da

The Cloning of Cells
In this lesson, students continue their education on cells in the human body. They discuss stem cells and how engineers are involved in the research of stem cell behavior. They learn about possible applications of stem cell research and associated technologies, such as fluorescent dyes for tracking the replication of specific cells.

Swinging Pendulum (for High School)
This activity shows students the engineering importance of understanding the laws of mechanical energy. More specifically, it demonstrates how potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and back again. Given a pendulum height, students calculate and predict how fast the pendulum will swing by using the equations for potential and kinetic energy. The equations will be justified as students experimentally measure the speed of the pendulum and compare theory with reality.

Sliders (for High School)
In this hands-on activity, students learn about two types of friction static and kinetic and the equation that governs them. They also measure the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction experimentally.

Reading Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress
This Reading Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress sets forth the design of a test of reading comprehension. The exam requires students to read passages of written English text -- either literary or informational -- and to answer questions about what they have read. In some cases, the questions deal with facts in the text or vocabulary. In other cases, a complete answer requires a clear analysis or coherent argument supported by sound evidence from the text. This is
