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=86870 This course provides the components of building construction that relate to fire and life safety. The focus of this course is on firefighter safety. The elements of construction and design of structures are shown to be key factors when inspecting buildings, preplanning fire operations, and operating at emergencies. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86871 This course explores the theories and fundamentals of how and why fires start, spread, and how they are controlled. 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=655492 BBC Learning Schools: Contains over 9,000 K-12 (Primary & Secondary) Educational clips from its BBC Learning Zone Class Programmes ready to play in your classroom.
