You might already know that proteins are a fundamental part of your diet, but they're much more than that.

This is episode 9 of our animated series "Think Like A Coder." This 10-episode narrative follows a girl, Ethic, and her robot companion, Hedge, as they attempt to save the world. The two embark on a quest to collect three artifacts and...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how modeling instruction can be used in the science classroom. Instead of presenting a model for the students the teacher presents and experience or experiment and the students develop the model.

What is a differential equation, the pendulum equation, and some basic numerical methods

Today Phil’s explaining the stars and how they can be categorized using their spectra. Together with their distance, this provides a wealth of information about them including their luminosity, size, and temperature. The HR diagram plots...

In this short video we will answer a standardized math test question using similar triangles to find a unknown angle. We will begin by reviewing the definition of similar figures. We will identify the corresponding angles and use the...

In this shorts video we will find an unknown side length. We are given a pair of triangles and told they are similar figures. Using the definition of similar figures, similar figures have corresponding sides that are proportional, we...

In this short math video we will discuss similar triangles & proportionality. We will understand that if two figures are similar that their corresponding sides are proportional. We will identify the corresponding sides and write a...

In this short math video we will find the radius of a cone. We will be given the volume and the height of a cone. We will identify the formula for the volume of a cone. We will rewrite the formula using the giving values for the...

In this video, understand how to align STP and HSRP configurations for optimized network performance.

In this video, use the "show mac address-table" command to troubleshoot and verify STP operations.

In this video, discover how Layer 3 switches enable Inter-VLAN routing without the need for a router.

Pupil outcome: I can explain that light travels in straight lines. Key learning points: - We need light to be able to see things. - Light travels out from a source of light in all directions. - Light travels in straight lines. -...

Pupil outcome: I can explain that we see things when light travels into the eye. Key learning points: - We need light to see things. - We see things when light enters the eye. - The pupil of the eye is an opening that allows light to...

A complementation test (or cis-trans test) is used to determine whether two recessive mutations causing the same phenotype occur in the same gene or in different genes. In the trans configuration, if the mutations are on different genes,...

In today's Math Coach Corner, Mrs. C shows you exactly how to tackle percent word problems using the easy-to-follow percent equation: percent × whole = part. You'll learn how to diagram the word problems clearly, plug values into the...

What is the Soft System Methodology? Soft systems methodology is an organised way of thinking that's applicable to problematic social situations and in the management of change by using action.

Value engineering is the review of new or existing products during the design phase to reduce costs and increase functionality to increase the value of the product. The value of an item is defined as the most cost-effective way of...
