17.951 Special Graduate Topic in Political Science: Public Opinion (MIT)
This course provides an introduction to the vast literature devoted to public opinion. In the next 12 weeks, we will survey the major theoretical approaches and empirical research in the field of political behavior (though we will only tangentially discuss political participation and voting). For the most part we will focus on American public opinion, though some of the work we will read is comparative in nature.

Herschel's First Year In Space
'Infrared astronomy is a young and exciting science. In recent decades infrared astronomers have unveiled tens of thousands of new galaxies, and have made surprising discoveries such as the huge amounts of water vapour that fill our Galaxy. Yet scientists know there is still much more to discover. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early Universe, can best be studied with infrared telescopes situated in space and therefore freed from the restr
Algebra Starting in Kindergarten
In this video early elementary students in a classroom demonstrate how to solve equations like 5 + X = 12 and 14 = 8 + Y on a math
balance. The teacher reads a book called 12 ways to get 11 to the students and asks students to find different ways to make 20 and records answers on chalkboard. Go to moveitmaththesource.com for lessons using a math balance to introduce algebra to young children.
3 of 5_COSMOS-The Edge of Forever
Dr. Sagan leads us to a time when galaxies were beginning to form, to India to explore the infinite cycles of Hindu cosmology, and to show how humans of this century discovered the expanding universe and its origin in the big bang. He disappears down a black hole and reappears in New Mexico to show us an array of 17 telescopes probing the farthest reaches of space. For middle school and high school students.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
American astronaut Neil Armstrong spoke those words 40 years ago this summer on July 20, 1969 Just after stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle to become the first human ever to walk on the moon. Back home on Earth (240,000 miles away) more than a billion people were listening to the broadcast. One of the most chronicled events in human history, the moon landing signaled the conquest of a new frontier and cemented America's place
