Powerful Pulleys
Students continue to explore the story of building a pyramid, learning about the simple machine called a pulley. They learn how a pulley can be used to change the direction of applied forces and move/lift extremely heavy objects, and the powerful mechanical advantages of using a multiple-pulley system. Students perform a simple demonstration to see the mechanical advantage of using a pulley, and they identify modern day engineering applications of pulleys. In a hands-on activity, they see how a
Magnetic Fields Matter
This lesson introduces students to the effects of magnetic fields in matter addressing permanent magnets, diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, and magnetization. First students must compare the magnetic field of a solenoid to the magnetic field of a permanent magnet. Students then learn the response of diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic material to a magnetic field. Now aware of the mechanism causing a solid to respond to a field, students learn how to measure the response by l
Possible Locations: Activity
Students will use their knowledge of scales and areas to cut out rectangular paper pieces to represent caverns to scale with the maps. These paper cutouts can then be placed on the maps to help students decide where the best locations
Stop the Stretching
Students will learn about composite materials, tension as a force and how they act on structural components through the design and testing a strip of plastic chair webbing.
Build an Approximate Scale Model of an Object
Students will create a model of an object of their choice, giving them skills and practice in techniques used by professionals. The students will use sketches as they build their objects. This activity will facilitate a discussion on models and their usefulness.
Christmas Around the World
This is one way that we can learn how Christmas is celebrated around the world! Look through this site to see how other countries celebrate Christmas, you must read about four countries. Christmas Around the World Answer these questions about each country you read about: 1. How is their Christmas celebration different from ours? 2. How is it the same? 3. Would you like to try one of their traditions? After you ...
21L.705 Major Authors: America's Literary Scientists (MIT)
Global exploration in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries radically changed Western science, orienting philosophies of natural history to more focused fields like comparative anatomy, botany, and geology. In the United States, European scientific advances and home-grown ventures like the Wilkes Exploring Expedition to Antarctica and the Pacific inspired new endeavors in cartography, ethnography, zoology, and evolutionary theory, replacing rigid models of thought and classification with more
15.768 Management of Services: Concepts, Design, and Delivery (MIT)
15.768 Management of Services: Concepts, Design, and Delivery explores the use of operations tools and perspectives in the service sector, including both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. The course builds on conceptual frameworks and cases from a wide range of service operations, selected from health care, hospitality, internet services, supply chain, transportation, retailing, food service, entertainment, financial services, humanitarian services, government services, and others.
Article :: An Introduction to 3D in Flash
One of the main reasons that the Flash platform has remained as popular as it has for so long is that Flash has continuously evolved to meet the demands of its audience. In the first of a series of articles on using 3D in Flash applications, Chris Florio, contributor to ActionScript 3.0 for Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book, shows how to use 3D features (and limitations) that currently exist in Flash Professional CS5 and in Flash Player 10 using both the Flash interface and Act

Leeds Met International
Watch our student Darcy talking about life at Leeds Met and the city of Leeds.
Games Technologies for Learning
The Games Technologies for Learning report explores the ways in which games technologies can be used to enhance teaching and learning, and provides advice for schools and colleges wishing to introduce...
Intelligent Systems
This class lectures as models of intelligent behaviors of human, problem-solving by search in state space, playing strategy in games, branch-and-bound method, supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning in neural networks.
On Modern University & University Students A
Issues regarding modern university and university students are issues close to home, which you students cannot ignore as mere knowledge or general issues. In this course, we expect you to consider these issues with historical knowledge.
Information Society
"Information and the Society" is an essential subject in order to acquire a teaching certificate of high school. This lecture is going to interpret the connection between technology of information and society. ï¼´he whole lecture is divided into three parts. The first part is about the social communication of information contents (data, web information and image, etc.). The second part is about the development of electronic organizations (team, market and community) which enable using informatio
Statistical Physics
This course picks up the historical process leading to statistical mechanics, which is an important branch of modern physics. The lecture must also be very interesting even for the students who do not necessarily need statistical mechanics in their major but want to enjoy a part of essence of modern physics.
Epidemiology core
This course is for the students who major public health. The lecture concerning epidemiology and clinical studies will be held in this course.
Instrumentation and Measurement for Biological Objects
Students can learn not only natural phenomena and rules in plants and animals but also measurement devices for various uncertain shaped objects in this course. This unique course gives both lectures and practice using PC.
Cleaning Up with Decomposers
Students investigate decomposers and the role of decomposers in maintaining the flow of nutrients in an environment. Students also learn how engineers use decomposers to help clean up wastes in a process known as bioremediation. This lesson concludes a series of six lessons in which students use their growing understanding of various environments and the engineering design process, to design and create their own model biodome ecosystems.
