MIT offers an exhaustive collection of materials covering Latin American culture and politics from 1808 through the present and is accompanied with homework/exam possibilities. Issues covered in lecture notes and readings include Latin America's relationship to the global economy and the United States, its dictatorships and democracies, cultural identity, and revolution.

This lesson teaches students how to make decisions in the face of uncertainty by using decision trees. Over the course of this lesson, students will learn about the role of uncertainty in decision making, how to make and use a decision tree, how to use limiting cases to develop an intuition, and how this applies to everyday life. [19:42]

In this video lesson, the concept of momentum applied to hard-body collisions is explained using a number of simple demonstrations, all of which can be repeated in the classroom. Understanding Newton's Laws is fundamental to all of physics, and this lesson introduces the vital concepts of momentum and energy, and their conservation. [31:16]

This MIT course on network and computer security covers topics such as security in multi-user distributed systems, cryptography, authentication, intrusion detection, and many other security topics.

An MIT mathematics teacher presents a module on a particular effect of frequency called the stroboscopic effect. Students will learn about low and high frequency phenomena, the stroboscope, and real-life examples of the stroboscopic. Video is accompanied by a teacher's guide, transcript, hand-out, and several related links. [19:25]

In this video lesson, students will learn about the DNA fingerprinting of plants by studying the following real world problem: A farmer bought olive trees of the variety called "nabali", known for producing high amounts of oil. However, he worried that he may have been sold the wrong variety. [29:55]

In this video lesson, students will learn about linear programming (LP) and will solve an LP problem using the graphical method. Its focus is on the famous "Stigler's diet" problem posed by the 1982 Nobel Laureate in economics, George Stigler. [30:47]

Determining the position of a star or other object in three-dimensional space is an important concept in astronomy. Finding stellar longitude (called right ascension) and latitude (declination) is easy enough, but it is much harder to find the radial distance to those objects. This lesson teaches how the distances to nearby stars are measured using the parallax effect: as the Earth orbits our sun, the positions of the nearest stars seem to wiggle back and forth compared to more distant stars. [26:03]

A university-level introduction to basic astronomy. Includes course readings, assignments, exams, and study notes with links to images and to biographical profiles of famous astronomers.

This learning video explores the mysterious physics behind boomerangs and other rapidly spinning objects. Students will get to make and throw their own boomerangs between video segments! A key idea presented is how torque causes the precession of angular momentum. [30:59]

This video lesson explores Newton's Third Law of Motion through examination of several real world examples of this law in action, including that of a donkey cart - a site common in the streets of Pakistan. Students will understand that forces act on objects even if the objects appear to be static and that certain conditions - gravity in particular - affect how two objects interact. [32:59]

The objective of this lesson is to illustrate how a common everyday experience (such as playing pool) can often provide a learning moment. In the example chosen, we use the game of pool to help explain some key concepts of physics. [24:41]

This video lesson discusses how a few simple physics concepts can help in understanding various factors that influence the performance of racing cars. Students will also learn how these same concepts influence the design and development of a racing car that is safe and able to compete in various racing conditions. [32:51] (English Subtitles)

MIT provides and extensive list of reading and viewing materials in regard to the migration within the United States. Lecture notes and possible assignments included.

Earth contains a variety of plants to provide food, medicine and, most importantly, energy sources for humans. In this lesson, students will categorize plants by their components and shapes. Additionally, they will learn the mechanisms behind the making of medicines and bio-fuels. [20:57] (English Subtitles)

In this video lesson, students will achieve the following learning objectives: 1) Become familiar with the fourth state of matter, "plasma"; 2) Understand the concept of plasma: 3) Compare the four states of matter; and 4) Learn some applications of plasma. [28:24]

Interactive video lesson discusses the distribution of electrons in a carbon atom, and then follows with a chemical investigation of plastics.

Through this video lesson, students compare exponential growth to polynomial growth and discover how quickly the number can grow or decay in exponentials.

The main objective of this lesson is to motivate students' thoughts and get them excited about some probability concepts. The aim is to present probability theory in as simple a manner as possible. It is hoped that students will learn that probability theory is a basic tool for handling an uncertain future and making a decision. [34:43]

This lesson focuses on the biggest problem faced by any young programmer, the logic building required while solving a particular problem.[28:25]
