Treats in a Basket
Students develop intuitive understandings about the probability of landing on particular board spaces when a die is rolled. They analyze the probability of multiple rolls by making outcome tables, trees, etc.
Treats in a Basket is designed to encourage students to experiment with probability. It will motivate students to learn about the subject in order win the most treats. It should be played by students who are already comfortable with fractions. Students should also be familiar with calculat
Case Studies in Science Education: Terez—Grade 4
Terez, a fourth-grade teacher, is developing an assessment strategy that is more student centered.,Terez is a teacher who is interested in using portfolios in her classroom. Different techniques are shown and discussed. Students are seen discussing and studying a few topics in Earth science, such as rocks and minerals, and weather and sky.
Science in Focus: Force in Motion: Workshop 6: "Force Against Force"
Magnets stick to other magnets and to metal objects made of iron or steel. How much force is required to break the attraction between two magnets? In this workshop, fourth-grade students explore ways to balance the force of magnetism against the force of gravity. A magnet placed in a cup on one side of a pan-balance is stuck to a stationary magnet beneath the cup. When enough washers are placed on the opposite side of the balance, the magnets will separate. Graphical analysis shows some unexpect

There are several illustrations within the text. This resource is part of the Teaching Petrology collection. http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/petrology03/index.html
An Intellectual Property Primer for Online Instructors
This self-access training course was created in response from instructors and faculty who teach online courses at the University of California, Irvine. It should be seen as a guide and an introduction to some of the pertinent issues surrounding intellectual property rights int he context of such post-baccalaureate distance education academic programs. Please be advised that this guide does not in any way purport to offer legal advice.
Introduction to Computer Science: Programming Methodology
This course is the largest of the introductory programming courses and is one of the largest courses at Stanford. Topics focus on the introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing.
Programming Methodology teaches the widely-used Java programming language along with good software engineering principles. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in
Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning
This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning and statistical pattern recognition. Topics include: supervised learning (generative/discriminative learning, parametric/non-parametric learning, neural networks, support vector machines); unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, kernel methods); learning theory (bias/variance tradeoffs; VC theory; large margins); reinforcement learning and adaptive control.
The course will also discuss recent applications of machi
Basics of Oral Business Communication

Northeastern Student-Athletes Post Strong Fall Semester Academic Performance
Northeastern University student-athletes continued a tradition of strong academic achievement during the fall 2010 semester, as 178 student-athletes earned a 3.25 grade-point average (GPA) or better, with seven earning a perfect 4.00 GPA.
EngineSim and RangeGames Downloads
EngineSim was developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center in an effort to foster hands-on, inquiry-based learning in science and math. EngineSim is a simulator that models the design and testing of jet engines. The program works in two modes: Design Mode or Tunnel Test Mode. In the Design Mode, you can change design variables including the flight conditions, the engine size, the inlet performance, the turbo machinery compressor and turbine performance, the combustors or burner performance, or th
Essentials of Medical Microbiology I - Part 1 of 2
This presentation provides an introduction to Medical Microbiology and should be used in conjunction with the unit Essentials of Medical Microbiology Part 1 - Part 2 of 2. The presentation gives a broad introduction to the subject and includes the hazard grouping of microorganisms, Koch\'s postulates, an introduction to viruses, bacteria (including their shape, genomic arrangement, appendages, capsules and spores) and concludes with an introduction to protozoa and microfungi.
