Landsat 7 20 Year Urbanization of Shenzhen, China
The long operational history of the Landsat satellite allows a detailed study of urban growth around the world, as illustrated by this animation of urbanization around Shenzen, China.
Wild Wind
Students will learn the difference between global, prevailing and local winds. In this activity, students will make a wind vane out of paper, a straw and a soda bottle and use it to measure wind direction over time. Finally, they will analyze their data to draw conclusions about the prevailing winds in their area.
Dialogue - intro to the Aeneid.
have a look at John Piazza's useful website.
(Just Google for John Piazza Latin)
if you have not yet encountered John's website, I highly recommend it.
John is one of the moderators over at Latin Best Practices - also a very useful resource and email list, where everyone of any consequence in the English speaking latin language educational community, intereste in a communicative approach to Language learning, is signed up as a member.
(once again, just google for it, it is a yahoo based list)
Medical Instrumentation
Students will discuss the special considerations that must be made when dealing with the human body, and will gain an appreciation for the amazing devices that have improved our quality of life. They will also explore how " ˜Form Fits Function'. This lesson should serve as a starting point for students to begin to ponder how the medical devices in their everyday lives actually work.

3.2 Summary Modern sport is characterised by stories and heroes. There is enormous interest in the lives of sports celebrities, who become the heroes of the sports stories that the media present. Sports stars may be more ‘real’ than film stars because they actually do what they are famous for (i.e. they really perform athletic feats, they don’t act out parts).

Seeds can grow into adult plants if they are placed in the correct conditions. Germination is the process of a young plant sprouting from a seed.
ࡁn introduction to our solar system: the planets, our Sun and our Moon. Students begin by learning the history and engineering of space travel. They make simple rockets to acquire a basic understanding Newton's third law of motion. They explore energy transfer concepts and use renewable solar energy for cooking. They see how engineers design tools, equipment and spacecraft to go where it is too far and too dangerous for humans. They explore the Earth's water cycle, and gravity as applied to or

An interactive applet that allows the user to graphically explore the properties of a linear functions. Specifically, it is designed to foster an intuitive understanding of the effects of changing the two coefficients in the function y=ax+b. The applet shows a large graph of a quadratic (ax + b) and has two slider controls, one each for the coefficients a and b. As the sliders are moved, the graph is redrawn in real time illustrating the effects of these variations. Applet can be enlarged to ful
The crocodile's hind limbs are strong and sturdy and are used to pull itself across the ground when its out of the water. The ball and socket joint allows the limb to move in different directions.
