The Big Moon Illusion
Why does the moon appear large while it is on Earth's horizon? Several possibilities are explained here.(01:24)
Crash! Bang!
Students learn about the physical force of linear momentum movement in a straight line by investigating collisions. They learn an equation that engineers use to describe momentum. Students also investigate the psychological phenomenon of momentum; they see how the "big mo" of the bandwagon effect contributes to the development of fads and manias, and how modern technology and mass media accelerate and intensify the effect.

Stop motion filmpjes maken Tijdens deze les leren leerlingen hoe ze een stop motion filmpje kunnen maken. Naast de lesvoorbereiding vind je in deze bijdrage ook een handleiding waarin stap voor stap uitgelegd wordt wat de leerlingen moeten doen om hun filmpje te maken.
Skateboard Disaster
Students examine collisions between two skateboards with different masses to learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

3.1a Working on the key skill of improving own learning and performance Improving learning and improving your performance may sound simple enough, but experienced learners know that there is not always a direct route from a particular learning experience to improved performance. Many factors can affect this link – motivation, resources, support and feedback. You need to acknowledge that these, and many other factors, can and do influence the outcomes of your efforts. In other words, many influences can come along to knock learning off track. It is also importan
Evolution By Artificial Selection and Unraveling the Mysteries of Hairys Inheritance
As a nine-week exercise for a large introductory liberal education biology course that involves the students as participants in artificial selection has been developed using Wisconsin Fast Plants.

Contracting and Signaling, Winter 2008
Course prepares you to advise clients or your own organization on the design of contracts and screening policies when one of the parties has an information advantage over the other. For example, students study the design of patent licenses (the licensor knows more about the market), the design of social systems to reduce spam (the spam sender knows more about the content before the recipient decides whether to read), and the design of performance contracts for professional services (e.g., consul
Quantitative Skills Assessment of Geoscience Courses
The importance of quantitative skills in earth science education is the primary subject addressed by this website. This website is not a quantitative course, however this document does provide numerous useful techniques that can be employed in a variety of other coursework to advance the quantitative skills of the student. The first section of this website presents a checklist that can be used to develop exercises which will focus on specific quantitative applications and evaluations. Skills add
In depth: Gerry Wright on antibiotic resistance
Gerry Wright, director of McMaster University's Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research, talks about antibiotic resistance, how we can protect against it and what his lab is doing to fight it.
Seasonal Migrations: Bald Eagle
Students join a biologist who uses satellite telemetry to track bald eagles back to their nests in Canada. They participate in an online contest and predict the location of each eagle's nest. Through these interrelated investigations, students discover that sunlight drives all living systems and they learn about the dynamic ecosystem that surrounds and connects them. Children follow the migrations of animals. They observe, research, and report their findings, and watch journeys progress on real-
Electrostatics
Students use a Although atoms contain both negatively and positively charged particles, they do so in equal amounts and carry no net charge. This balance can be temporarily disrupted by rubbing one material against another. One device, known as a Van de Graaff generator, uses a fast moving rubber belt to charge a metallic dome to nearly 200,000 Volts. This activity uses a Van de Graaff generator to study the behavior of electrical charges.
