This is an excellent resource for parents considering inclusive placements for their young child or for early childhood inclusion facilitators. Most articles and forms are in PDF format so you will need Acrobat Reader to view them. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75146 This calculator is designed to replace tables (e.g. NACA 1135) in performing basic compressible aerodynamics calculations. It is designed for those learning, teaching or using compressible aerodynamics. It computes (both forward and backward) isentropic flow, normal shock and oblique shock relations. It also has a scratch pad for doing the additional arithmetic usually needed to solve compressible aero problems. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74942 Newton's law of motion look the same to all observers in inertial frames of reference. It is equally true that if momentum is conserved in one inertial reference frame, it is conserved in all inertial frames. This java applet apply the above concept to one-dimentional collision problem. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75091 This page describes a circuit with a single SCR. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=219730 Life Preservers is a video game based on National Science standards that teaches about evolution, adaptation, and the history of life on earth. It is an engaging, fun, pedagogically rich learning experience that can fit within a single class period. Life Preservers was funded by the National Science Foundation. It was created by the Games for Entertainment and Learning Lab at Michigan State University. The project is conducted by Professor Carrie Heeter (heeter@msu.edu) and director of game development is Brian Winn (winnb@msu.edu) both at Michigan State University. Using Life Preservers, we have conducted research on gender, science games, play style, and learning. To give teachers flexibility when they use Life Preservers in their classroom, the authors created a long and a short version of the game. The short version, playable in about a half hour, has only one round, THE AGE OF DINOSAURS. The long version, playable in about 45 minutes, has that same AGE OF DINOSAURS round followed by THE AGE OF MAMMALS. An extensive teacher information site at http://gel.msu.edu/lifepreservers provides information about the national science standards, science backstory, learning from the game, and advice about teaching evolution. The student site at http://lifepreservers.msu.edu offers a choice of short and long version and a link to the teacher site. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74940 This applet shows a hanging mass on a spring. Users may add or remove mass from the spring to change the equilibrium point, or may observe the oscillatory motion on a graph showing velocity vs. position. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84028 Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84013 Parts of a Compiund Microscope http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84016 DNA - Ethical Issues http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84108 Virtual Microscopes.
