The clinical skills videos on this site have been created at the 'lowest common denominator' level for a host of medical and healthcare related disciplines with a view to share with the wider community. The content has been created and peer-reviewed by a multi-professional team so that it is applicable, with little or no change, to a variety of health-based courses. St Georges, University of London, have taken extreme care in preparing the information on this site but please be aware that there maybe slight variations in the procedures, shown in the videos, from institution to institution depending on policies and equipment used. All content on this website (including text, images, videos, and any other original works), unless otherwise stated, is already licensed under a Creative Commons deed. CSO contains videos which are only suitable for viewing by adults of at least 18 years of age, or 21 years of age depending on your location. Please note this site is also registered with the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA). http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85246 LoLa is an exchange for facilitating the sharing of high-quality learning objects. It contains materials for use across the curriculum. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=395237 After reading "A Sound of Thunder," students will further investigate the impact of the "butterfly effect" as it pertains to a nonfiction piece (a news story from China) about the dwindling bee population and its effects on the pear industry. The US bee population has dwindled in the last few years, too, and a second video documentary on Colony Collapse Disorder allows students to make inferences and predictions about the impacts of bee loss on the US economy, too.Students will then be able to investigate environmental issues of their own choices and research them using a variety of print and digital research tools. For more specifics, please contact me at connie_young@kernhigh.org or the email address listed here. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86258 This learning object is a lesson plan that can be used to instruct students on using their current weight and height measurements to find out how many calories they need to maintain their weight. The activity is present within the URL: a calculator that uses height and weight measurements to find a recommended daily caloric intake number. This website offers a large variety of other charts and tables such as fast food facts and calorie values. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82903 This visual shows how a linear syllabus can be converted into a one-page flow chart or course map. It helps instructional designers offer faculty another way to present course material that also exhibits sound instructional design. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84014 This is a very easy to use satellite traking site. You will need to create an account before using the site but this is quick and painless. Be sure to check out the Iridium flares. Very cool stuff http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85072 MERLOT is a free and open resource designed primarily for faculty and students of higher education. Links to online learning materials are collected here along with annotations such as peer reviews and assignments. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83088 Almost all cavities occur where the brush cannot reach plaque and trapped food between teeth and inside pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces as in photo. Chewing cheese before eating seals grooves in chewing surfaces to prevent food being trapped while eating so plaque cannot change sugar to acid.Chewing a stick of celery after eating helps saliva remove food, neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth as in the teachers kit on http://ndk.biz/kit There is a home version of the school project on http://ndk.biz/home so it is easy for parents to understand the school project and the whole family can benefit. The web sites have just been developed and we would appreciate any feedback http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86261 No description given http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=242256 This is a great site for students to learn about the planets(Kids Astronomy).  Great activities to ingage the student and help them learn about the planets.  The site is also good for teachers to get info for their lessons.  Great pictures
