International Food Trade Theory
This course is to study international food trade by investigating international trade theory and trade policies. It addresses elements determining trade, factor flows, exchanges rates and economic
development in the world. The emphasis is placed on empirical aspects where trade theory and trade policies are relevant and applicable. To incorporate world trade from a food perspective, this course especially deals with actual cases with which students can clearly understand and familiarize current
International Physics Olympiad
This web site for the International Physics Olympiad contains information about this annual world-wide competition for high school students. Included on this page are links to the problems and solutions for questions used for all the Olympiad competitions from 1967 to the present. These context-rich problems are cataloged by year and by type: theoretical or experimental. Also included is information about the history, governance, and organization of the Physics Olympiad organization, along with
Knowledge Is Power - Use It Wisely
In this lesson, students will work in teams to do further research on the ethics issues presented in the documentary The Nobel: Visions of Our Century.
Defining Girl Power: Finding Self in the Media Maelstrom
This lesson will compare different ways women in the media (from models to athletes) present their image and offer girls the opportunity to define their own standards for confidence and beauty.

A Growing Global Power Unit 16
Fueled by patriotism, capitalism, and religion, the U.S. extended its
reach beyond national borders. New partnerships between government and big business drove an evolving diplomacy that would set the tone for American foreign policy in the twentieth century.
Air Power: Making a Hovercraft
In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members make their own hovercraft and demonstrate how the air leaking out of a balloon can make a plastic plate hover above a table.
Air Power: Experimenting with Balloons
Without highly controlled jet propulsion, rockets and other aircraft would zip through the air as unpredictably as so many untied party balloons. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, two cast members find out how slowing the amount of air expelled from a balloon and changing the direction of that air can affect the balloon's behavior. Grades 3-8
Tower O' Power
In this activity, students learn about creating a design directly from a CAD (computer-aided design) program. They will design a tower in CAD and manufacture the parts with a laser cutter. A competition determines the tower design with the best strength:weight ratio. Students also investigate basic structural truss concepts and stress concentrations. Partnership with a local college or manufacturing center is necessary for the completion of this project.
Power to the People
Students read and evaluate descriptions of how people live "off the grid" using solar power and come to understand better the degree to which that lifestyle is or is not truly independent of technological, economic and cultural infrastructure and resources. In the process, students develop a deeper appreciation of the meaning of "community" and the need for human connection. This activity is geared towards fifth-grade and older students and Internet research capabilities are required. Portions o
Potato Power
Students use potatoes to light an LED clock (or light bulb) as they learn how a battery works in a simple circuit and how chemical energy changes to electrical energy. As they learn more about electrical energy, they better understand the concepts of voltage, current and resistance.
