Earth Exploration Toolbook Chapter: Using GLOBE Data to Study the Earth System
This Earth Exploration Toolbook chapter guides users through the process of locating and graphing data that has been collected by students who participate in the GLOBE Program. Users access the online GLOBE graphing tool and produce a graph comparing four Earth system variables over two complete years. Data include Maximum Air Temperature, Soil Moisture (at depths of both 10 cm and 90 cm), and Rainfall recorded in Greenville, Pennsylvania. As they investigate this specific case study, users disc

The Use of the LEGO MINDSTORMS System in Modeling: The Foraging Behavior and Strategies of Simple An
The LEGO MINDSTORMS system provides a rich simulation environment for evolutionary adaptation and animal behavior. It includes both hardware and software that may be considered analogous to anatomical features and behavioral repertoire respectively. The system is off-the-shelf which minimizes set-up and preparation time. Conversely, its components are capable of considerable customization and expansion if desired. The MINDSTORMS system makes clear that form, function, and behavior of animals are
Work the System
This fun Web site is part of Ology, where kids can collect virtual trading cards and create projects with them. Here, they are introduced to some of the ecosystems within the ocean. The article contains two engaging, kid-friendly sections: A Sea of Questions, a Q&A section that looks at a tropical mangrove ecosystem. Too Many Examples? SAMPLE!, in which ichthyologist Ian Harrison introduces kids to the process of sampling and then gives them the opportunity to virtually sample a mangrove swamp.

System Solver
Highlight how symbolic operations on a system of linear equations do (or do not) change the graphic or tabular representations of the system.
Note that the System Solver is a tool intended to illustrate the rationale behind the symbolic operations used to solve systems of linear equations, and not a way to learn what procedures to follow.

Introduction: Building an Electrocardiogram (ECG) Based Diagnostic System
Background information necessary to build an ECG that automatically detects heart arrhythmias and abnormalities. This includes the physiologic background of the ECG, how it works and the ECG characteristics of two heart abnormalities that our system can detect.
An Introduction to the Patent System
This 17-minute video is designed to be shown to jurors in patent jury trials. It contains important background information intended to help jurors understand what patents are, why they are needed, how inventors get them, the role of the Patent and Trademark Office, and why disputes over patents arise. An Introduction to the Patent System was developed with the assistance of an advisory committee of district judges and patent attorneys. Special care was taken to ensure that it provides an imparti
ScanView: A system for remote visualization of scanned 3D models
ScanView is a client/server rendering system for viewing complex 3D models, like those produced using laser triangulation scanners, without downloading the models. This lets you interactively examine models that would otherwise be inaccessible due to their large size or due to usage restrictions.
System Identification and Parameter Estimation
This course is about non-parametric system identification based on estimators of spectral densities and its application to open-loop and closed-loop systems. Furthermore parameter estimation for linear and non-linear systems plays an important role.
Who Invented the Number System?
This short video is from Jimmy Chang, who has a master's degree in math, and has been a math teacher at St. Pete College for more than nine years. Mr. Chang stands at a podium and uses a projector to show handwritten notes. (2:03)
Components of the Earth System Working Together
The purpose of this resource is to develop familiarity with interactions among the major components of the Earth system at the global scale. Students brainstorm about the nature of connections between their region and others, across oceans and on different continents. On a black-line map of the world, they trace possible pathways of water and wind currents from their part of the continent to other continents, and identify what the wind and water carry. Then they write about the possible effects
Gulf Coast Geology Online Interactive Mapping System
This interactive mapping system is one component of the U. S. Geological Survey's Framework Studies and Assessment of the Gulf Coast Project. This project provides the geologic, geophysical, and geochemical framework for the region. The mapping system displays different aspects of the energy resources which reside in the Gulf of Mexico Basin, one of the major hydrocarbon producing areas of the world.
Who Invented the Number System?
Number systems are invented and reinvented over time by different
civilizations. In this video you will learn about these number systems and and their history. The Instructor uses a white board to present this information.
The Bug Song to the Tune of Wheels on the Bus -King County Library System
In this 1:00 amateur video, a librarian sings "The Bug Song" to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus". In the song, various bugs (fireflies, crickets, ants, caterpillars, etc.) are named with accompanying movements.
Icky, Bicky Soda Cracker - King County Library System
In this video, a librarian recites the rhyme "Icky Bicky Soda Cracker" using a baby doll to demonstrate motions that go with the rhyme.
A Bee Sat On My Nose -Call & Response Rhyme- King County Library System
This fingerplay(running time 1:23) is a call and response rhyme, where the librarian starts the rhyme and the audience repeats after her. It is about a bee who mistakes a nose for a garden. The librarian uses a yellow sticky dot to represent the bee on her nose. This would be a cute classroom activity.
