Summary: Students will create an interactive portfolio, using Adobe InDesign.
Demonstration of Creativity: Photography, by nature, is creative. Throughout
this course, students have demonstrated the use of the photographic triangle,
used different lenses, critiqued images, explored photojournalism and product
photography, manipulated and adjusted photographs, and much more. Although
the main focuses of Photography 20 is to acquire knowledge and develop skills in
photography, it’s the creativity that can make a photo stand out. This project
allows students to showcase their creative talent in a practical and relevant
manner.
Examine the concept of interest.
Teacher Guide included.

Students explore the basics of DC circuits, analyzing the light from light bulbs when connected in series and parallel circuits. Ohm's law and the equation for power dissipated by a circuit are the two primary equations used to explore circuits connected in series and parallel. Students measure and see the effect of power dissipation from the light bulbs. Kirchhoff's voltage law is used to show how two resistor elements add in series, while Kirchhoff's current law is used to explain how two resistor elements add when in parallel. Students also learn how electrical engineers apply this knowledge to solve problems. Power dissipation is particularly important with the introduction of LED bulbs and claims of energy efficiency, and understanding how power dissipation is calculated helps when evaluating these types of claims. This activity is designed to introduce students to the concepts needed to understand how circuits can be reduced algebraically.
In this self-paced tutorial, examine evidence of climate change from different parts of the Earth‰Ûªs system and consider what it means to live on a planet with a dynamically changing climate. The resource includes multimedia resources such as video clips of local impacts of climate change in the Arctic and Samoa, data visualization exercise featuring digital resources on climate.nasa.gov, and an interview with NASA climate scientist Dr. Gavin Schmidt, a discussion on teaching using data, and an interactive quiz. Introduction to the Earth's Dynamically Changing Climate is the first of a series of ten self-paced professional development modules providing opportunities for teachers to learn about climate change through first-hand data exploration. Activities and resources that can be employed in the classroom are featured.
