Currently, only 2.1% of global warming is felt on continents, while over 93% is felt in the oceans. The fourth instructional activity in the series of 21 on global warming is composed of three activities that build off one...

Looking for a hot date? Pick any day in August, statistically the hottest month in the United States. The 15th lesson in the series of 21 instructs pupils to investigate the August 2007 heat wave through NASA data, daily temperature...

"Creativity is just connecting things." - Steve Jobs. After weeks of researching climate change, the ninth lesson in a series of 21 combines the data and analysis to address essential questions. It covers natural phenomenon, human...

This lab was designed to have students map out the flux as function of time for a coil spinning in a magnetic field. From their date they also calculate the electromotive force for each data point they collect. Finally, they graph the...

This lab was designed to have students look at the graphs for flux vs. time and electromotive force vs. time for a coil spinning in a magnetic field. Students will be able to vary the size of the coil, the rate at which the coil spins...

This lab is designed to have students investigate the factors that determine the amount of energy collected by a solar panel when the sun light is shining straight down to the ground.

This site describes and demonstrates a number of important concepts related to direct current circuits. Information on many of the featured topics, such as the use of Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws. Examples of featured topics include...

Although he is best known as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, Carl Friedrich Gauss was also a pioneer in the study of magnetism and electricity. To facilitate an extensive survey of terrestrial magnetism, he invented an...

This lab was designed to have students test the factors that determine how much current is induced in a circuit when area of the circuit is changed. This lab is a quantitive lab that supplements the lab on magnetic flux.
