The Ethics of Undertaking Research in Other Countries
This paper considers when it is ethical for scientists to do research abroad that is banned at home. The handout, Skene's Barometer, is available at http://www.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/Events/StX_seminar/Skenes_Barometer.pdf
Parkinson Disease - Motor Exam - Muscle Tone Sub-exam - Patient 4
This 76-year-old man developed tremor of his right arm and leg 15 years ago. It has increased in severity over the years. A shaking right hand affects his writing, dressing and drinking. Occasional drooling, difficulty rolling over in bed and a soft voice at times are also issues. The tremor has affected his writing and he has mild difficulty with buttons and zippers. He spills when he uses his right hand to drink. He has occasional drooling and slight difficulty rolling over in bed. His voice
Integration of Biology and Statistics Education (IBASE): Measurements of cells and organelles in bio
This lab was designed to promote the integration of a freshman biology lab and an Applied Statistics course. Students collect data sets to be used in statistics for examples and projects, and then present their findings in biology lab. Students learn how to determine the actual size of cells using calipers for chicken eggs, microscopes with ocular micrometers for onion root cells, microscopes with digital cameras/measuring software for red and white blood cells, and rulers for measurements of or
The Scientific Method:
An exercise to introduce scientific method, experimental design and basic statistical analysis.
MOLA: Seasonal Snow Variations on Mars: Slow Zoom out from the Martian North Pole: True Color
This is a true color visualization of the topography near the Martian north pole as measured with the MOLA instrument. This particular animation shows a slow zoom out from the surface of the pole and is a frame-accurate match to the end of animation id #2297.

Fooled by Nature: Beaver Dams
On Animal Planet's series "Fooled by Nature," beavers create dams in
order collect more water and store food. One beaver can chop down 200
trees a year and it only takes a few hours for them to gnaw through and this three minute video shows them how they do it and why.
Assignment Discovery: The Four Types of Plants
This 40 second video quickly reviews the 4 different types of plants:
bryophytes, ferns and fern allies, gymnosperms and angiosperms. A quick introduction.
Brush Your Teeth Now!
This cute video will show young learners how to correctly brush their teeth with a fun song. Some of the lyrics include "Brush your teeth everybody. Won't you show me how? Brush at the back. Brush at the Front" Words to the song appear at bottom of screen as song is sung.
Design a Net-Zero Energy Classroom
Students create a concept design of their very own net-zero energy classroom by pasting renewable energy and energy-efficiency items into and around a pretend classroom on a sheet of paper. They will learn how these items (such as solar panels, efficient lights, computers, energy meters, etc.) interact to create a learning environment that produces as much energy as it uses.
Chemical Wonders
Students are introduced to chemical engineering and learn about its many different applications. They are provided with a basic introduction to matter and its different properties and states. An associated hands-on activity gives students a chance to test their knowledge of the states of matter and how to make observations using their five senses: touch, smell, sound, sight and taste.
Hurricane Bonnie from TRMM with Cloud Tower: August 22, 1998 (Short Version)
These compelling images are from Hurricane Bonnie showing a cumulonimbus storm cloud, towering like a sky scraper, 59,000 feet (18 kilometers) into the sky from the eyewall. These images were obtained on Saturday, 22 August 1998, by the worlds first space-born rain RADAR aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), a joint U.S.-Japanese mission. Launched November 27, 1997, the TRMM spacecraft continues to provide exciting new insight into cloud systems over tropical oceans. By comparis
