Students conduct several simple lab activities to learn about the five fundamental load types that can act on structures: tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion. In this activity, students play the role of molecules in a beam that is subject to various loading schemes.

Historians love to debate each other. So some of them pointed out that the first half of this revolution looks a lot different from the second. Let's chat about industry, cars, and Henry Ford.

-Arson and explosions often present complex and difficult circumstances to investigate due to the fact that the perpetrator has thoroughly planned the act, is not present during the act, and the destruction is so extensive.
-The criminalist’s function is rather limited to detecting and identifying relevant chemical materials collected at the scene and reconstructing and identifying ignitorsor detonating mechanisms.

Also included:
-The Chemistry of Fire
-The Fire Scene
-Collection
-The Basics
-Gas Chromatography

Forensic Science is the application of the scientific method to solving mysteries. Forensic scientists draw on skills from a number of disciplines in order to gather evidence and draw conclusions about an event. Teachers may use the subject of forensic science to stimulate interest in the various disciplines of science among their students. The discipline is particularly useful in the classroom because it emphasizes hands-on learning and gives students the opportunity to develop their reasoning skills.
Many of the activities on this site use computers and computational science. Such methods are useful to forensic scientists because they allow scientists to view evidence with greater clarity, to simulate specific events and to save time by automating tedious processes.

This site covers everything you wanted to know about forensics in Canada, from forensic science to medical examiners.

This student material on forensics covers the following:
- Blood
- Experiment Inventory
- Bloodstain Analysis

This free course, Forensic science and fingerprints, covers how science can make fingerprints easier to study, how they are used in court and some of the questions about the extent to which fingerprint identification is sound and scientific. Students will learn the principles used in classifying and matching fingerprints (often called marks).

Course learning outcomes...After studying this course, you should be able to:

demonstrate knowledge and understanding of some of the basic facts, language, concepts and principles relating to the principles and significance of fingerprint matching
demonstrate knowledge and understanding of some of the links between forensic science and the legal system
draw together information from different sources and make logical deductions as a result
demonstrate an understanding of how forensic scientists operate and use scientific evidence in a legal context.

Damage to trees by disease, air pollution, weather, or human activities can affect the health of forests and can also be an indication of overall forest health. Count all the trees in the plot, marking the trees with colored chalk to help you keep track. Note trees that have one or more signs of disease or damage (see below). To count it as diseased or damaged, 10 percent or more of the tree should be affected. Calculate the percentage of all trees in the plot that have such signs.

The Forestry and Natural Resources Course helps students understand the relationships between California's natural resources and the environment. Topics include energy and nutrient cycles, water resources and management, soil conservation, wildlife preservation and management, forest and fire management, lumber production, the outdoor recreation industry and multiple-use management.

No matter where you live, you depend on forests. They provide charcoal, firewood, fruits, lumber, medicines, nuts, paper, turpentine, and other resources that make up more than 5,000 commercial products. Many people use forests for fishing, hiking, hunting, and other recreational activities, as well as for their beauty and solitude.

This documentary introduces us to thousands of Indigenous Canadians who enlisted and fought alongside their countrymen and women during World War II, even though they could not be conscripted. Ironically, while they fought for the freedom of others, they were being denied equality in their own country and returned home to find their land seized.

Today we are exploring the world of formal organizations. We’ll go back to the historical process of rationalization and its impact on organizations in the form of bureaucracy and then discuss how organizations change in response to their organizational environment. We will also go over the negative consequences of rationalization in organizations.

Formative Assessments (assessment for learning) refer to the ongoing process that students and teachers engage in when they: focus on the learning goals (know where they are going) take stock of where current work is in relation to that goal (know where they are now) take action to move closer to the goal (know how to close the gap)
Formative assessments are used to gather evidence, both formally and informally, for the purpose of improving learning.
It is not the instrument that is formative; it is the use of the information gathered, by whatever means, to adjust teaching and learning, that makes it formative.

Ce module a pour but d’aider l’enseignante ou l’enseignant à amener l’élève à percevoir et à décrire, avec le vocabulaire juste, la position et les déplacements d’objets les uns par rapport aux autres, et ce, dans un environnement qui est familier à l’élève.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about forming largest and smallest numbers (includes even and odd).

Students learn about four forms of equations: direct variation, slope-intercept form, standard form and point-slope form. They graph and complete problem sets for each, converting from one form of equation to another, and learning the benefits and uses of each.

This task contrasts the usefulness of four equivalent expressions. Students first have to confirm that the given expressions for the radioactive substance are equivalent. Then they have to explain the significance of each expression in the context of the situation.

Students model and design the sound environment for a room. They analyze the sound performance of different materials that represent wallpaper, thick curtains, and sound-absorbing panels. Then, referring to the results of their analysis, they design another room based on certain specifications, and test their designs.

Students take a closer look at cars and learn about some characteristics that affect their energy efficiency, including rolling resistance and the aerodynamics of shape and size. They come to see how vehicles are one example of a product in which engineers are making changes and improvements to gain greater efficiency and thus require less energy to operate.
