Address the current political climate with a series of thought-provoking activities. A resource packet provides pupils with strategies for challenging racist behavior and religious prejudice, and moves them from being passive bystanders...

Collaborative groups examine the importance of energy resources on quality of life by researching different energy sources and alternative energy sources through data analysis. They make a comparison of different countries and cultures,...

Young engineers are instructed to design and build their own solar water heaters. Then, they calculate the efficiency and cost and compare them to commercially available models. This is a full unit for pupils to apply their knowledge.

Mr. Bergman has been murdered and we need you to solve the crime! The cross-curricular unit covers 11 different types of forensic science and includes 17 activities. Scholars perform blood type analysis, blood spatter analysis,...

Sequences and series are traditionally thought of as topics for the pre-calculus or calculus class, when learners are figuring out how to develop limits. But this unit uses patterns and slopes of linear functions in unique ways...

Students are introduced to the topic of electromagnetic induction. In groups, they describe ways in which the magnetic flux can change and discuss emf and current. They use different scientists laws and apply it to various scenerios in a...

Promote responsibility and camaraderie with 10 lessons on conflict resolution. Learners define conflict and teach ways to resolve it. Each lesson provides an activity and scenario for role play, and lends itself to discussion among...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the difference between direct current and alternating current.

Alternating current behaves differently, depending on what components are in a circuit.

This lesson focuses on Mains Electricity and Alternating Current. Electrical supplies can be direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). The UK mains electricity supply is about 230V at 50 Hz. It explains the difference between AC...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Defines electric current and relates electric current to different materials (insulators and conductors).

This lesson focuses on Electrical circuits including standard symbols for electrical components, a list of components and what they do, a discussion of various types of resistors, and alternating current and direct current. Links to a...

Current transfers energy around circuits. Circuit components have various properties that can be measured and then used to make circuits for control and also circuits for testing other components.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson explains how an electric current is produced by a generator. Includes a simulation.

Students learn about static electricity using terms such as friction, induction, and conduction. They also explain and illustrate the difference between alternating and direct current, and understand the relationship among voltage,...

The world of complex numbers is explored through mini lessons, interactive examples, applications and demonstrations. Topics covered include definitions, basic operations, graphing, different forms of complex numbers, products,...

Solar power is cheaper and more sustainable than our current coal-fueled power plants, so why haven't we made the switch? The real culprits here are the clouds, which make solar power difficult to control. Alexandros George Charalambides...

Keith Richards and Eric Clapton owe their fame and fortune (in part) to electromagnetic induction. (Java tutorial)

This "magneto-electric machine" was the first to turn motion into electricity. (Java tutorial)
