Sound Frequency: ( An Interactive Game)
In this Sarah Jane Adventures game, the deadly Rakweed is threatening the UK! Students transmit sounds with the same frequencies to help Clyde defeat the Rakweed. ( This link is for an interactive game and may take a few minutes to load.)
2.7 Reconsideration of the models and their suitability Now that we have studied a variety of sources of evidence from Africa, it is possible to reconsider how well our four models of cultural interaction fit the evidence.
Prof Philip Steadman (UCL) on film 'Tim's Vermeer'
In 2001 Professor Philip Steadman (UCL Bartlett School of Graduate Studies and the UCL Energy Institute) published a book called Vermeer's Camera, about the evidence for the great seventeenth-century Dutch painter using a camera obscura to make his pictures. Fast forward 13 years and the original ideas in the book have provided the foundation for the BAFTA-nominated documentary Tim's Vermeer.

Make Your Own Temperature Scale
Students learn about the difference between temperature and thermal energy. They build a thermometer using simple materials and develop their own scale for measuring temperature. They compare their thermometer to a commercial thermometer, and get a sense for why engineers need to understand the properties of thermal energy.
Learning outcomes By the end of this guide you should be able to: conduct your own searches efficiently and effectively; find references to material in bibliographic databases; make efficient use of full text electronic journals services; critically evaluate information from a variety of sources; understand the importance of organising your own information; identify some of the systems available; describe ho
Overview of the Protist Kingdom
The protist kingdom is a classification that includes a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms. Typically, protists reproduce via mitosis and range from unicellular to multicellular organisms. In the protist kingdom, there are two main groups: protozoa (which are generally heterotrophic) and algae (which are generally autotrophic). Organisms in the protozoa group include things like amoebas, slime molds and paramecium while common organisms in the algae group include green algae, brown algae, dia

The Ant And The Dove, a fable by Aesop
This is a cartoon animation of one of Aesop's fables, The Ant And The Dove.  The moral of the story is one good turn deserves another. The dove helps the ant that is struggling for life. The ant in spite of bring small, comes to the dove's help at a crucial moment. As the reader recites the words, text appears at the bottom of the screen. Narrated by a man with an Indian accent; with music.  (3:30)
5.5.1 Non-uniform mixtures Moulded rubbers and plastics are compounds of a polymer matrix and a variety of additives. The mixing history of the material before and during the moulding process can have a critical influence upon the final product properties. If mixing is done badly then the microstructure of the moulding can be non-uniform. Lack of uniformity can cause variations of strength and other physical properties within the moulding. The degree of dispersion or distribution of relatively minor quantities of addit

5.1 The leader's role This reading is concerned with the relationship between the leader and his or her subordinates and the effectiveness of different approaches to this relationship. First I will examine the leader's role, in an attempt to answer the question of why we need leaders. Then I will examine the issue of authority, and the tensions and potential conflicts that relate to this issue. Next, I will consider some of the theories that have been put forward about leadership. What makes a leader? What m
Learn French- Learn 10 Sentences (Review All 70 Sentences in This Video)
Learn 10 simple French sentences. Each sentence is said by a native French speaker 3 times. When the head on the right side 'blinks', that is the time for the viewer to say the sentence aloud. Each sentence is accompanied by an appropriate image. The video would be better served if there was a English translation. (This is the longest video in the series- 32:16)
1.8.12 Distance-time graphs: summing up A distance-time graph is a graph of distance measured from a specific place and along a particular route, plotted against time measured after a specific time. The gradient on such a graph gives the numerical value of the average speed and indicates the direction of travel. Speed is an unsigned quantity equal to the distance travelled along a set route divided by time irrespective of direction towards or away from the starting point (the origin for distance measurement). A positive gradient in
Point-Slope Form
This video explains how to use point-slope form when writing a linear equation. Point-slope form can be written using one point and the slope or when given two points since we can calculate the slope from the two points. Once we have an equation in point-slope form, it can be rewritten in slope-intercept or standard form. (1:12)
5.1 The reception of Hume's views ‘Of suicide’ was received with the same degree of public hostility as his essay on immortality. Here is what an anonymous reviewer of the 1777 posthumous edition of both essays had to say in the Monthly Review (1784, vol. 70, pp. 427–8): Were a drunken libertine to throw out such nauseous stuff in the presence of his Bacchanalian companions, there might be some excuse for him; but were any man to advan CUAHSI Cyberseminar: Jon Chorover, Jemez-Catalina CZO, 11//42011 EC.050 Recreate Experiments from History: Inform the Future from the Past: Galileo (MIT)

2010 marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo's astonishing sightings of features on the moon, stars, and moons around Jupiter that no one had seen before. Recreate these new ways of seeing and exploring from the materials and techniques Galileo had on hand, while you reflect on the times and works of Galileo. What was it like to improvise new ways of seeing and exploring from the materials and techniques on hand? What do we notice? What surprises us? How can we relate to past experience and ideas
