Ancient Crystals Suggest Earlier Ocean
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This report describes the findings of two scientists who studied the chemical makeup of crystals of zircon from rocks in Western Australia's Jack Hills. The zircon crystals are thought to be 4.5 billion years old, making them some of the oldest materials yet found on Earth. The ratios of oxygen isotopes found in the crystals suggest that conditions during the Hadean Eon, the first 500 million years of Earth's history when the crystals were formed, were cooler and wetter than previously thought. Links to a glossary are embedded in the text.

Ancient & Medieval Medicine: Crash Course History of Science #9
Rating
0.0 stars

The history of medicine is about two of our big questions: one, what is life? What makes it so special, so fragile, so… goopy!?
Two, how do we know what we know? Why should I take my doctor’s advice? Why are deep-fried Oreos bad for me?
It may be tempting to look at medicine as a science that has simply progressed over time—that medicine used to be bad, and its history is a story of how it got better.

Summary: This year my students created a concept map to summarize their learning in the science unit of
animal adaptations and classification. I created a list of terms and concepts that students must have on
their map, and offered opportunities for students to add their own knowledge. Prior to the assignment
the students and I created an assessment rubric to evaluate their learning.

Arctic Feedbacks: Not All Warming Is Equal
Rating
0.0 stars

“Arctic Feedbacks” is a middle/high school earth science unit focused on weather and climate as it relates to Earth’s system. The unit is centered around an anchoring phenomena known as Arctic amplification and consists of ten unique lessons, each tied to the NGSS Earth’s systems standards. Each lesson provides students with evidence they will use to explain anchoring phenomena in a final descriptive model and written explanation.

The Art & Science of Ceramics

0.0 stars

For the 2014/2015 school year at KCS, all the Arts Ed 9 outcomes were intergraded into all the grade 9 courses. I was given 4 outcomes to cover in my Science 9 course. My ongoing goal in all my science classes is to relate science to the student’s lives and the real world as much as possible. Having to cover the specific arts outcome gave me the opportunity to teach my students about the science behind ceramics, an art form that relies heavily on chemistry, specifically the properties of the elements from the periodic table. I utilized the expertise of Devon Coles, who runs the local art gallery, the Garden Gallery, in Kindersley where he produces ceramics, to give the students insight into his ceramics process and the chemistry involved. Students then created their own ceramics pieces at the art gallery and used their knowledge of the properties of elements from the periodic table to predict which glaze Devon put on their piece before it was cured in the kiln.

‪Ballons et Electricité statique‬-(Simulation PhET)
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Une série de simulations provenant de l’Université de Colorado à Boulder pour les 9e – 12e au sujet des sciences. Cette simulation démontre le processus de ballons et electricité statique.

Les élèves explorent l'électricité statique en frottant un ballon simulé sur un pull. En observant les charges dans le pull, le ballon et le mur adjacent, ils acquièrent une compréhension du transfert de charge. Cet élément fait partie d'une collection plus vaste de simulations développées par le projet de technologie éducative en physique (PhET). Les simulations sont des environnements animés, interactifs et ludiques.

We have a lot of water on Earth, but we also can't actually drink much of it... or use it for farming. That's because most of the water on Earth is saltwater. We humans, like a lot of living things, need freshwater to survive. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about the difference between freshwater and saltwater and why freshwater is so important.
