Kids have many ideas about how and why things fall based on their daily life experiences. However, many of these ideas are misconstrued. Learn from this video how to clear up these misunderstandings about gravity and help your students understand concepts of mass, weight, inertia, and air resistance. [9:51]
This lesson is provided to introduce students to the geography and people of the Sahel region and to have them discover the challenges and conflicts faced by the inhabitants. They learn about desertification and what farmers are doing to re-green their land. [4:39]
This lesson introduces students to the factors that contribute to desertification and solutions that have been implemented in the Sahel region of West Africa. A 21-page teaching guide is also provided. [4:39]
In this video segment [5:16] adapted from NOVA scienceNOW, scientists in western Greenland explain how a glacier there is shrinking and moving faster due to increased melting.
Students are asked to explain how the sun is a major source of energy. [0:32]
The government's site on fermilab, a huge physics research lab institution.
The third paragraph pinpoints the importance of hyperons in particle research. Hyperons and neutrinos share characteristics of the weak force. Complex stuff, but the real deal. Parts of this report may be very useful. Many photos, slow to arrive.

Playing and exploring movement as a form of propulsion.
In this lesson, students will explore and experiment with the concept of propulsion through play, discovery, explicit instruction, design challenges, and the use of the augmented reality application Aurelia. Learning and activities can be easily scaffolded to address further concepts such as drag, turbulence, fluid friction, efficiency of energy, adaptation, and body plans.
Estimated time required: 1 class period.
Technology required for this lesson: Laptop/Desktop, Tablet or Smartphone.
