Using Portfolio's - The Learning Contract
This resource accompanies the workbook 'Using Portfolio's for Learning and Assessment - a staff handbook'. This resource offers guidance for staff on introducing students to portfolios to be used for learning and assessment. It is based on experience gained while working on an FDTL Project “Promoting the Development of key skills through the use of portfolios” (2002 - 2005). The outlined Portfolio Workshops in this handbook have been developed as a result of the Project activities at Leeds M

Overview of an Urban Nature Reserve
Text and photos in pdf format providing an introduction to Possil Marsh an Urban Nature in Glasgow. Designed to accompany 2 power point presentations on the biodiversity and habitats of this urban nature reserve. Together they provide a case study illustrating the the potentially varied biodiversity that can be retained by an urban nature
reserve and show the characteristics of the habitats within which that biodiversity is found.

Biodiversity Consortium : Measuring Ecological Diversity 1 : full version
This package provides an overview on measuring ecological diversity.
Ecological diversity has two separate components - the number and relative frequency of species - and can be estimated using counts of species richness, relative abundance plots and diversity indices.
Ecological diversity can also be measured over a range of spatial scales.

How to float an egg
Developed for third grade. This lesson begins by exploring the concepts of density and buoyancy with an introductory "sink or float" activity. In this activity students will be asked to predict whether they think each of a group of small objects will sink or float. The objects we used for this activity are on the materials list. This gets students interested and asking the question "why do some objects sink, and others float?" Students will be asked to think about this question before being give
18.950 Differential Geometry (MIT)
This course is an introduction to differential geometry. Metrics, Lie bracket, connections, geodesics, tensors, intrinsic and extrinsic curvature are studied on abstractly defined manifolds using coordinate charts. Curves and surfaces in three dimensions are studied as important special cases. Gauss-Bonnet theorem for surfaces and selected introductory topics in special and general relativity are also analyzed. From the course home page: Course Description This course is an introduction to dif
14.30 Introduction to Statistical Method in Economics (MIT)
This course will provide a solid foundation in probability and statistics for economists and other social scientists. We will emphasize topics needed in the further study of econometrics and provide basic preparation for 14.32. No prior preparation in probability and statistics is required, but familiarity with basic algebra and calculus is assumed.
