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
Back to the good old days
Loosely coupled networks, like those used in medieval Britain and 14th century Tuscany, are increasingly being adopted by leading modern companies
2.3 Railways in Britain The railway age started with attempts to make a steam engine small enough to be fitted to a wagon for hauling coal at collieries, the wheels moving on a wooden or iron rail for guidance. Improvements to the drive mechanism led directly to the Locomotion designed by George Stephenson, and the opening of the first passenger and goods service for the 27 miles between Stockton and Darlington in County Durham. It was opened in 1825 and was quickly followed in 1830 by a line between Manchest
9.3 Linear notes This is the most common form of note-taking. It involves writing in sequence the points you want to note. As with all note-taking, the aim is to pick out and record the most important points. Avoid simply writing out most or all of the text again. Try to write your notes in your own words as this will help you understand what you have been reading about. Also add a reference to which page(s) of the text your notes refer so you can easily find your way back to the relevant part of the te
1.1 What is 'globalisation'?
Human societies have to take urgent action to end their dependences on fossil fuels. We have to alter the whole path of our development and decision making in order to make our societies both environmentally adaptable and sustainable. This unit takes on the task of trying to chart some of the ways in which it might be possible.
