Great Zoom into New York, NY: Battery Park
Using data from different spacecraft and some powerful computer technology, visualizers at the Goddard Space Flight Center present you with a collection of American cities in a way you have never seen them before. Starting with our camera high above the Earth, we rush in towards the surface at what would be an impossible speed for any known vehicle. Passing though layers of atmosphere, the colors of our destinations shimmer with their own unique characteristics, and suddenly we find ourselves fl

5.2 Case study 3: Menon poetry The class teacher (Menon, 1999) was keen to develop the sense of a ‘writing community’ early on in the term. In the first few weeks she invited her students to form groups of their own choice, research a poet from a selected list, then plan and carry out a presentation. Students were encouraged to use the internet as part of this research. At such an early stage in the academic year, when getting to kn "Parallel Programming for Multicore Machines Using OpenMP and MPI, January IAP 2010" "Introductory Quantum Mechanics II, Spring 2009" "Causes and Prevention of War, Spring 2009" Needing Illumination: Investigating Light 10.4 Summary 1.6 Imperialism Related to the idea of transferring regulation across borders, is the influence of colonial tradition and of trade relations. The European colonisers, notably the UK and France, transferred their accounting rules to their colonies, so that Singapore, for example, had the same rules as Cyprus and Nigeria (Walton, 1986), while Cameroon shared rules with Lebanon, Vietnam and Guadeloupe, amongst others. Modern academic notions of ‘imperialism’ include the idea of economic dominatio A Simple Solution for the Circus Active Learning Environments, Part II: Creating Learning Spaces
"This course introduces fundamentals of shared and distributed memory programming, teaches you how to code using openMP and MPI respectively, and provides hands-on experience of parallel computing geared towards numerical applications."
" This course covers topics in time-dependent quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and relaxation, with an emphasis on descriptions applicable to condensed phase problems and a statistical description of ensembles."
" The causes and prevention of interstate war are the central topics of this course. The course goal is to discover and assess the means to prevent or control war. Hence we focus on manipulable or controllable war-causes. The topics covered include the dilemmas, misperceptions, crimes and blunders that caused wars of the past; the origins of these and other war-causes; the possible causes of wars of the future; and possible means to prevent such wars, including short-term policy steps and more u
This is the first lesson of this unit to introduce light. Lessons 1-5 focus on sound, while 6-9 focus on light. In this lesson, students learn the five words that describe how light interacts with objects: "transparent," "translucent," "opaque," "reflection" and "refraction."
In this unit, we describe the theory of evolution by natural selection as proposed by Charles Darwin in his book, first published in 1859, On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. We will look at natural selection as Darwin did, taking inheritance for granted, but ignoring the mechanisms underlying it.
In this activity, students are challenged to design a contraption using simple machines to move a circus elephant into a rail car. After students consider their audience and constraints, they work in groups to brainstorm ideas and select one concept to communicate to the class.
