Then in November, Dr. Nelson was named a Missouri Professor of the Year. The awarded is sponsored by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching a
"Good Chemistry" Music Video
This is a fun music video about chemical bonds. This was made by a tenth grader in attempts to explain chemical bonds in his chemistry class. The music is produced by Jasper Harris. He uses young love in a humorous way to help explain the concepts. (03:15)
Dance it Out! (Classroom Exercise)
Get students moving with this video for upper elementary (4-6) grades. The exercises do not take up too much floor space and students can do the exercises at their desks. The music featured is fast-paced.(05:34)

Touchable Holography It does not get much more futuristic than this: a demo of holograms one can actually touch. The holographic tactile display uses ultrasound to exert a pressure field - for example, it will exert pressure on the surface of your palm when virtual raindrops fall on it.Â

From Plants to Parasites
UGA researchers have discovered that a small component of some tropical parasites actually evolved from ancient algae and destroying this component of the parasite renders it incapable of reproduction. This may one day lead to advanced new therapies to fight debilitating tropical diseases.

1.5.1 Instantaneous velocity Uniform motion is simple to describe, but is rarely achieved in practice. Most objects do not move at a precisely constant velocity. If you drop an apple it will fall downwards, but it will pick up speed as it does so (Figure 24), and if you drive along a straight road you are likely to encounter some traffic that will force you to vary your speed from time to time. For the most part, real motions are non-uniform motions. 3 Orogenies in the Proterozoic The document attached below includes the third section of Mountain building in Scotland. In this section, you will find the following subsections: 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Palaeoproterozoic rifting, sedimentation and magmatism 3.3 The Palaeoproterozoic Laxfordian Orogeny 3.3.1 Assembly of the Lewisian Complex 3.3.2 Formation of Proterozoic crust 2.2.3 Surfaces with boundary Examples of surfaces with boundary are a cylinder and a Möbius band. Other examples are the following:
Surfaces with holes
We can obtain a surface with boundary by taking any surface without boundary and punching some holes in it by removing open discs. For example, Figure 19 shows a sphere with 3 Studying mammals: A winning design Nature matters in conversation Understanding the environment: A systems approach Introducing the environment: Ecology and ecosystems
The term mammal encompasses a huge variety of animals, including humans. But what makes a mammal a mammal? This unit explores some of the features, such as reproduction, lactation and thermoregulation methods, that mammals have in common. It is the first in a series of 10 ‘Studying mammals’ units.

This unit focuses on the substance of environmental responsibility – what matters. The question ‘What should constitute our prime focus of attention?’ can prompt different responses. We consider two points of contrast in differing focuses on what matters:
1 a distinction between nature and the environment
2 a distinction between nature/environment and related human interactionsAuthor(s):
There is increasing recognition that the reductionist mindset that is currently dominating society, rooted in unlimited economic growth unperceptive to its social and environmental impact, cannot resolve the converging environmental, social and economic crises we now face. The primary aim of this unit is to encourage the shift away from reductionist and human centred thinking towards a holistic and ecological worldview. Thus, the study unit promotes the shift in perception towards socio-economic
What is ecology and why is it important to our understanding of the world around us? This unit looks at how we can study ecosystems to explore the effect that humans are having on the environment. First published on Wed, 29 Feb 2012 as Author(s):
