Place Value - by StudyJams
Each digit in a number has a value. That means that a digit's place determines its value. Once you know the place values of numbers, reading any number will be a breeze. Learn more about place value with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

Birds in the Band Read-Aloud Online Storybook  (Musical Instruments)
This read-aloud is Birds in the Band written by Thesaurus Rhymewrite and illustrated by Joshua Murphy. This read-aloud is a cute song about different birds playing musical instruments. There is a next, back, and pause button on each page. Each word is highlighted as it is read by the narrator. This would be a good resource to help introduce musical instruments in an elementary classroom. It would be beneficial for a listening center activity.
Olfaction and Chemical Communication
This resource is a detailed manual of protocols and instructional information for carrying out an undergraduate laboratory exercise in physiology and animal behavior, including student outlines, instructors notes, and suggested questions for laboratory reports.
The Beat Goes On (Activity)
In this activity, students learn about their heart rate and different ways it can be measured. Students construct a simple measurement device using clay and a toothpick, and then use this device to measure their heart rate under different circumstances (i.e., sitting, standing and jumping). Students make predictions and record data on a worksheet.
"The People Were Very Peaceable": The U.S. Senate Investigates the Haitian Occupation
Largely at the behest of American bankers, U.S. marines occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934. By 1919, Haitian Charlemagne Péralte had organized more than a thousand cacos, or armed guerrillas, to militarily oppose the marine occupation. The marines responded to the resistance with a counterinsurgency campaign that razed villages, killed thousands of Haitians, and destroyed the livelihoods of even more. The military atrocities and abuse of power during the Caco War of 1919–1920 led to a U.S. Sena
PediNeuroLogic Exam: Developmental Anatomy - Brain Growth
The newborn brain weighs 400 grams. At one year of age the brain weighs 1,000 grams. By 2 years of age the brain has reached 80 percent of its adult size. By 18 years of age the brain has reached its adult weight of 1400 grams. A neuroscience tutorial focusing on those aspects of the pediatric neurological examination that are unique to the child's nervous system, with an emphasis on important neurodevelopmental milestones.
SeaWiFS Views the Whole World with Three Years of Data
By monitoring the color of reflected light via satellite, scientists can determine how successfully plant life is photosynthesizing. A measurement of photosynthesis is essentially a measurement of successful growth, and growth means successful use of ambient carbon. Until now, scientists have only had a continuous record of photosynthesis on land. But following three years of continual data collected by the SeaWiFS instrument, NASA has gathered the first record of photosynthetic productivity in

Erythemal Index for August 2000 through July 2001: Rotating Globe
The Erythemal Index is a measure of ultraviolet radiation (UV) at ground level on the Earth. UV exists to the left of the visible spectrum and is divided into three components (UV-A, UV-B and UV-C). UV-B (290-320 wavelengths) is the most dangerous form of UV radiation that can reach ground level. Atmospheric ozone shields life at the surface from most of the harmful components of solar radiation. Chemical processes in the atmosphere can effect the level of protection provided by the ozone in the

PediNeuroLogic Exam: Newborn: Abnormal: Positions - Vertical Suspension
In vertical suspension there is the feeling that the baby is slipping through the examiner's hands because of the low tone in the shoulder girdle muscles. A neuroscience tutorial focusing on those aspects of the pediatric neurological examination that are unique to the child's nervous system, with an emphasis on important neurodevelopmental milestones.
