Wisskomm Vodcast, 50. Woche 2007
German Vodcast about Science Communication. Diese Woche unter anderem über den neuen Wettbewerb "Wissenschaft interaktiv!" von "Wissenschaft im Dialog" (WiD), der junge Wissenschaftler und Pressestellen zusammenbringen soll. Dazu ein Interview. Außerdem: Studiengang "Science Communications" in Bremen, eine Studie zum Wortschatz der "Tagesschau", der kleinste Adventskalender der Welt, "Brehms verlorenes Tierleben" als schönes Weihnachtsgeschenk und: Joachim Bublath (ZDF) wird Wissenschaftsjour
3.3 Summary of part C What the courts have established in the cases we have looked at is not a hard and fast privacy doctrine, but a situation in which each case is decided by individual judges on its particular merits. There is no free-standing right to privacy for individuals to enforce. However, where individuals have a strong countervailing interest to protect, the courts are willing to uphold their right to confidence. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones successf
Reading, vocabulary, structures: I want to be a pilot... What do I have to do?
The student practices their reading comprehension and vocabulary by means of texts concerning the training of pilots. He/she exercise structuring details by comparing data from several websites.
Giant yo-yos create bounce
June 16 - Students from the Israeli Technion Institute of Technology compete in a giant yo-yo challenge, dropping homemade devices from a massive crane. Elly Park reports.
1.3.11 The significance of the near-death experience The sociologist Allan Kellehear (1995) observes that most studies have had a medical focus, investigating whether near-death experiences could be the result of a lack of oxygen to the brain or another medical or psychological cause. Kellehear suggests that the search for psycho-medical explanations has focused on psycho-neurological and defensive mechanisms emphasising altered status of consciousness or physical functioning and not taken into account the meaning of these experiences. Kellehea
1.3.9 Other common features In addition to these very common features there are in many accounts further distinctive elements. A sense of entering into or being met by light and/or an area of great beauty has been expressed in a significant number of accounts. Here are just two illustrations: I was just in a wonderful peace and wellness in a beautiful landscape setting of grass, lawns and trees and brilliant light.

Dr. Nikolay Gerasimchuk, Dr. Robert Pavlowsky and Dr. Alexander Wait present the science behind current and past climate changes -- including global warming and the effects of various sources of carbon and nitrogen on atmospheric, marine and terrestrial systems (including agricultural systems).
Global, regional and local patterns are presented and discussed.
THIS IS A PICTORIAL MONTAGE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTERS. (Amateur video)
Making a volcano involves mixing active yeast, warm water, hydrogen peroxide, a bit of red food coloring and dish soap together into a small container to create a chemical reaction. Create a volcano, under parental supervision, with a demonstration from a science teacher in this video. Run time 03:37.
From Dragonfly TV. Julia and Briana live on the island of Hawai'i, where lots of lava can be found. Lava flows are very unique environments. Even though volcanoes have been erupting here for thousands of years, much of the big island is full of green plants. The girls stopped by the Volcanoes National Park Visitors Center to find out how that could be. Their question to be answered: How do plants return to an area wiped out by a lava flow?
In this video segment adapted from NOVA, watch as scientists collaborate to collect and then chemically analyze samples of molten lava as part of their quest to learn more about how volcanoes work. By collecting samples of lava before it has a chance to cool, researchers can study the chemical properties it had when it was deep within Earth's interior, just before it was forced to the surface. Questions such as whether two volcanoes share a common magma source can be answered through such analys
The geological history of Yellowstone National Park dates back to the formation of the North American continent and this video graphically shows how volcanic activity created this area and looks at the questions of whether or not the area will erupt again.
Explains in details about the different layers of the earth. Easy to follow along and take notes. Great for studying or doing homework.
Does the decimal make it hard to know whether one number is larger than another? Learn how to tell with this video. This video by Duane Habecker is part of the video collection at NextVista.org (http://nextvista.org), a proud partner of Curriki. Organizes decimals by lining them up according to decimal places.

This video is very helpful for those students who are having difficulty understanding when to use conocer to mean to know. The words can be seen as they are said by the speaker. All conjugations are in the present tense.
A quick video that tells about the Boston "Massacre" and questions who really started the event and what caused it. Wait for the commercials to finish as they are added throughout the video. An inconsistent video that is poorly edited for classroom use. A timeline is important to gain full value.
A VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate pages and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too.
Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show
Despite technological advances that have produced machines with lifelike qualities, most people can easily distinguish between what is living and nonliving. Or can they? This video includes some "fuzzy" examples that will make students question the meaning of life. Words are listen on the screen and video is set to music. No narration. Run time 03:02.
In this video, there is a clear and easy description, in Italian, of how to make Pasta alla Norma. All the ingredients are named and shown and the recipe is demonstrated for this typical Sicilian dish.
