This activity is an easy way to demonstrate the fundamental properties of polar and non-polar molecules (such as water and oil), how they interact, and the affect surfactants (such as soap) have on their interactions. Students see the...

Students learn about the basics of molecules and how they interact with each other. They learn about the idea of polar and non-polar molecules and how they act with other fluids and surfaces. Students acquire a conceptual understanding...

Through nine lessons, students are introduced to a range of energy types--electrical, light, sound and thermal-as well as the renewable energy sources of wind, hydro (water) and solar power. Subjects range from understanding that the...

Learn about six geological processes from Luke W Interface Designs that are happening or have happened on Mars. Ex: aeloian, cratering, landslides, volcanic, and more.

Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun. Since the earth's surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun's radiation unevenly. Two factors are necessary to...

A map showing Australia and the Western Pacific in the Glacial Age (the Maximum of the Fourth Ice Age, about 50,000 years ago - Wells). While the waters were held up in the polar ice caps, the sea-level was low enough to enable...
