Energy Transfer
How can a Ping-Pong ball be made to bounce higher without throwing it downward harder? This material is part of a series of hands-on science activities designed to arouse student interest. Here students investigate energy transference and momentum by simultaneously dropping a Ping-Pong ball sitting directly above a golf ball and measuring the bounce height. The activity includes a description, a list of science process skills and complex reasoning strategies being used, and a compilation of appl
Ecological Footprint: Only One Planet
This two-minute sound segment discusses the concept of your ecological footprint. This is the amount of nature it takes to support your lifestyle. The speaker explains that if we divide up the total ecologically productive space on the planet by the number of people, what we get is five acres per person.

2.1 Introduction In this section we are going to review the different needs that drive the creation of corporate governance frameworks. The contingent model of regulation applies to financial reporting: the idea that equilibrium in regulation exists, but is broken by some intrusive event, often a financial scandal. This leads to a search for a revision of the rules, and a new equilibrium is worked out. This is very much a pattern that drives change in corporate governance.
