Japan’s Nuclear Crisis
In spite of the “sickening human and social devastation on full display” in northern Japan, moderator
Richard Samuels wonders, “Is it possible to follow the train of cause and effect into the future…imagining what happens from here on?” In this session convened just days after the March 11th earthquake and tsunami, pan
Building a Business: Taking the First Steps: Company Basics
Russell Smith, CEO of Business Boffins Ltd, presents the first lecture of the 2010/11 Building a Business lecture series.
No Valve in Vain
In this activity, students will design and create their own heart valves out of a variety of materials given to them, including: waterproof tape, plastic tubing, flexible plastic sheets, foam sheets, scissors, clay, etc. This activity will not only test their understanding of how a one-way valve works and its purpose, but will also allow them a chance to think outside of the box and practice engineering problem-solving.
Woman's Building History: Betty Gordon (Otis College)

Ampere's Law
The lesson begins with a demonstration introducing students to the force between two current carrying loops, comparing the attraction and repulsion between the loops to that between two magnets. After formal lecture on Ampere's law, students begin to use the concepts to calculate the magnetic field around a loop. This is applied to determine the magnetic field of a toroid, imagining a toroid as a looped solenoid.
Television - Conversation Topic
A list of vocabulary relevant to television and a suggestion for a class plan on how to get students talking about television programmes.
5.4 Discussion
Global warming: are we responsible? Is our environmental impact damaging the planet? This unit examines the use of ozone depleting technology, the impact of fossil fuel use and explores how the development of technology can influence the direction of a society. From the Industrial Revolution to the present day find out how we have changed the planet.
7 Sedimentation and tectonics at a mid-Ordovician to Silurian active margin
Some of Britain’s most dramatic scenery is to be found in the Scottish Highlands. The sight of mighty Ben Nevis, the desolate plateau of the Cairngorms, or the imposing landscapes of Glen Coe can unleash the call of the wild in all of us. Although these landforms were largely carved by glacial activity that ended some 10,000 years ago, the rocks themselves tell of a much older history. The Highlands are merely eroded stumps of a much higher range of ancient mountains. This unit is an account o

Light and Lenses: Using Lenses to Form Images
This is the 2nd lesson the series, "Light and Lenses." This lesson shows how to draw ray diagrams showing how light is refracted through convex lenses and demonstrates how to use the diagrams to determine size, position and nature of an image formed by a convex lens. (15:17)
What Killed the Mammoths? Could It Have Been a Killer Plague?
This BioBulletin Web site takes an in-depth look at attempts to answer the question of what killed off the woolly mammoth. The site includes text, videos, photographs, and interviews with key scientists. The Introduction explains why the woolly mammoth's extinction is particularly puzzling and the thought process that led Ross MacPhee to investigate whether a highly lethal infectious disease was responsible. Tusks on the Tundra covers the 18-day expedition MacPhee and others took north of the Ar
Probability Topics: Practice 1: Contingency Tables (modified R. Bloom)
This module provides the opportunity for students to apply what they've learned about probability to solve a series of problems given a set of data. Students will practice constructing and interpreting contingency tables. This revision of the original module by S. Dean and Dr. B. Illowsky has been modified as follows: the data has been presented here in tabular form.
Live Camera Feed of Eagles in Nest
If it is dusk or evening, the viewer may NOT see anything at that time. Obviously, viewing during the day is best. NOTE: Scroll down slightly for camera feed. This is a live feed to an 'Eagle Cam' that shows eagles in their next. Since this is a live feed, there is no 'run time'. The live camera feed is on Duke Farms in New Jersey. Did you know that Bald eagle numbers have soared from only one breeding pair in 1973 to over 90 today because of
1.4.3 Chemical and mineral composition of igneous rocks
Have you ever wondered how scientists analyse the environment? This unit introduces you to the techniques used by science students at residential schools. You will learn how to determine where rocks have come from and how they were made. You will also examine the processes involved in determining the ecology of a particular area.

WorldWatcher Project: Global Warming
This Starting Point webpage is a summary of a role-playing resource called Worldwatcher Project: Global Warming Project. In this exercise, students role-play advisors to various heads of state on the subject of global warming. The web site offers a short curriculum to help the students become experts on global warming. It offers lab activities, computer visualizations (using free WorldWatcher software), lots of background readings, and choose-your-own-adventure journeys through the carbon and wa
Nosferatu
'This short, meditative film is composed of images from ancient Europe -its bridges, roads, statues, and castles -which become transformed in another time and place, the mind of a lost and weary traveler. While the title refers to the vampire legend, the mood of the piece is more that of a love story, mixing loneliness and longing.' Many of the images in Andrew Moore's 'Nosferatu' are superimposed and electronically manipulated. Repeated images of trains coursing through tunnels and individuals
