Calcul en précision arbitraire
Dans cet exposé Luc Bougé propose une séquence pédagogique autour du calcul avec des très grands nombres qui ne peuvent être codés avec les nombres entiers ou les nombres flottants usuels des machines. Le nombre est alors stocké dans un tableau et devient un objet numérique dont il faut soigneusement définir les opérations, et les méthodes permettant de le manipuler. C'est l'occasion de proposer un travail exemplaire de bonne programmation avec les concepts les mieux adaptés.
L'imagerie satellitaire : une aide à l'enseignement de l'informatique (video)
Dans cet exposé, Henri Maitre montre comment et de quelle façon concrète les images satellitaires de Google peuvent devenir des objets numériques à forte plus-value pédagogique et comment les utiliser pour des séquences pédagogiques. La notion d'image (pixelique) et de carte (symbolique) font l'objet d'une étude comparative et les grandes méthodes de traitement d'images permettant d'extraire des informations symboliques des images aériennes sont décrites, y compris au niveau des

Développement et évolution du système nerveux (video)
Conférence du 24 janvier 2000 par Alain Prochiantz. On découvrit dans les années 1970, chez une mouche, la Drosophile, des mutations conduisant au remplacement de tout ou partie d'un organe par un autre organe. On observa, par exemple, des transformations de type antenne-patte, aile-balancier, ou aile-oeil. Ces mutations ont été dites homéotiques, l'organe d'un segment étant remplacé par l'organe homologue d'un autre segment. Les gènes homéotiques codent pour des facteurs de transc

Weather Unit
Weather is a constantly changing set of phenomena and easily observable. That's why weather also provides an excellent topic for scientific study. Even though meteorology includes some complex science, it is a wonderful example of how scientists make predictions based on measurements and observations. Each of the investigations in this section on Weather are led by an investigative question. It is important that students come to realize that scientists try to find out about the world by asking q

Water on the Web Basic Science
WOW lessons are designed for infusion into the existing science curriculums for college freshmen and advanced high school students. The lessons use the aquatic environment and real lake data to explore basic science concepts through two different approaches: a directed study “Studying” and an inquiry “Investigating” approach. The directed studies allow students to apply and learn concepts through direct, guided experience. The inquiry lessons provide a more open-ended opportunity for stu

La Cité de Dieu, après-demain ? (video)
Quand Rome est mise à sac le 24 août 410, des voix se lèvent s’interrogeant sur les raisons d’un tel désastre et sur le devenir de Rome. Demain qu’adviendra t-il de la Roma aeterna ? Déconcerté par ce pillage et soucieux d’éclairer les jugements, Saint Augustin décide alors de mener à bien son projet déjà ancien de composer une fresque théologique.
Il compose ainsi La cité de Dieu, œuvre qui oppose la cité terrestre et la cité céleste et qui
