Composting – Nature’s Disappearing Act
In this activity, students explore the idea of biodegradability by building and observing a model landfill. This serves as an introduction to the idea of composting. Students learn about the role of engineering in solid waste management.
The RCBN Consultation Exercise: Stakeholder Report
One of the early objectives of the ESRC Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) Research Capacity Building Network has been to undertake an extensive consultation exercise in order to identify the priorities for research capacity-building and to generate a database of expertise from across the UK educational research community. This report provides an account of the first element of the consultation exercise, interviews with twenty-five key stakeholders each representing the major consti
Stress, Strain and Hooke’s Law
This lesson offers an introduction to Hooke’s Law as well as stress-strain relationships. Students will first learn the governing equations. Then students will work through several example problems first individually, then as a class. In addition, the lesson includes a two-part associated activity. In the first part, students explore Hooke’s law by experimentally determining an unknown spring constant. In the second part, students will apply what they’ve learned to create a strain graph de
10.571J Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry (MIT)
This course provides an introduction to the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, including experience with computer codes. It is intended for undergraduates and first year graduate students.
Lecture 16: Hybridization and Chemical Bonding
Introduction to chemistry, with emphasis on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. Introduction to the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.
Lecture 11: Covalent Bonds
Introduction to chemistry, with emphasis on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. Introduction to the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.
8.871 Selected Topics in Theoretical Particle Physics: Branes and Gauge Theory Dynamics (MIT)
This course is an introduction to branes in string theory and their world volume dynamics. Instead of looking at the theory from the point of view of the world-sheet observer, we will approach the problem from the point of view of an observer which lives on a brane. Instead of writing down conformal field theory on the world-sheet and studying the properties of these theories, we will look at various branes in string theory and ask how the physics on their world-volume looks like.
Epidemiology and Chemotherapy
A unit containing a series of case studies in which clinical presentations of various infections are described. These include hospital-acquired infections, therapy failures and examples of cross-infection. It also includes an introduction into the use of pcr for identification of microorganisms. This is a Questionmark Perception file. The QTIXML file needs to be opened in QP Authoring Manager, converted to an assessment and exported into your own VLE.
Microorganisms of Medical Importance Part 1 - Viruses
An Articulate presentation giving an introduction to microorganisms of medical importance, concentrating on the viruses and describing their structure, shape and virulence. This is Part 1 of 3 related units. A help file is included and should be read first.

Foundations in evidence based practice
This is a module framework. It can be viewed online for downloaded as a zip file.
As taught in Spring Semester 2010.
This module is taught on the Diploma/BSc in Nursing and covers an introduction to evidence-based practice; the nature of evidence; an introduction to the research process; reflective thinking and writing; portfolio development skills; searching/accessing information/literature; summarising literature; referencing literature sources; reviewing literature; an introduction to law
Setting Out a Podium
This lesson covers the introduction and concept of setting out a plan for the construction of a podium used to award prizes in a dog trial. Setouts are a measuring and marking guide, used when producing one or more units. Setouts save wasting materials by ensuring that the components are cut to size and fit together correctly. Setouts also ensure that standard units produced by an organisation are of consistent quality.
Measurement of Geometry: Metric Units
