The program is designed to appeal to parents and kids alike to create a shared learning experience and encourage kids to pursue their natural fascination with nature and science." -- website. Enzo's message: He believes that humans can live in harmony with animals and the earth without damaging habitats or the environment. He wants to destroy the idea that it is "uncool" to be into science, interested and educated. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=264143 The web-based module is designed to be used in conjunction with conventional classroom teaching. The module is suited primarily for a freshman level course. The module subject matter is arranged to develop in students an understanding of global warming and energy efficiency aspects of automobiles. Students are introduced to concepts related to wind resistance or drag force, wind resistance power, carbon dioxide production, global warming index and energy efficiency index. The interactive menu will allow students to determine drag force, carbon dioxide production and wind and tire resistance horse power as a function of vehicle type and speed of operation. The challenge problems are also included for practice. Some parts of modules can also be used for the dynamics and thermodynamics courses in engineering curriculum. A primer for chemical reaction balancing is given in the combustion chemistry section. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=389301 Literature review help, guidance and examples for students and researchers writing their literature review. Helpful articles discuss each stage of the literature review and help you to understand how to start writing a literature review and source information.Articles are added on a weekly basis and feedback is welcome. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=326406 Lesson plans for science activities for 5th to 8th grade students. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=285337 Site offers fifteen (15) learning objects for science. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86254 This 10 minute multimedia learning object uses video/audio, powerpoint, a presentation outline and fully searchable scrolling text to teach the basics of spectrophotometry. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=373750 Esse objeto de aprendizagem é usado no ensino de química. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=366233 The Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners (NCEP) produces peer-reviewed teaching resources summarizing topics on conservation biology. Each module contains a synthesis document outlining the main concepts of a subject, a modifiable visual presentation, classroom exercises and solutions, teaching notes, and interdisciplinary case studies. For more information please visit http://ncep.amnh.org where all NCEP modules are available free of charge. Modules are published in English, Spanish and French. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86717 NOISE (New Outlooks In Science & Engineering) is a UK-wide campaign funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Initiated in 2000, it aims to raise awareness of science and engineering among young people. The site contains links to other interesting sites, upcoming events, blogs and cool jobs all related to the science and engineering community.  http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294389 Create three grasshoppers from different sized paper squares. Make a hypothesis as to which grasshopper will "hop" the best. Practice hopping the grasshoppers and then hop each one 5 times. Record the data and figure out which hopped the best. Discuss how you measured "best" i.e., which variables were you measuring to evaluate the hops? List as many variables (things that were different or that changed) as you can...
