"The CoMPASS project integrates two modes of learning science: digital linked text in a hypertext system, CoMPASS, and accompanying design challenges. Several CoMPASS units have been developed covering a range of topics in mechanics and enable students to learn about key concepts such as work, energy, force, acceleration, mechanical advantage etc. The principle guiding the design of CoMPASS materials is to enable students to see relationships between concepts and principles. Concept maps that change dynamically based on the concepts selected by students, supplementing the text in the CoMPASS system, help students to see these relationships. The design challenges provide students with a context for their hands-on science investigations, and enable them to see the interconnections between the concepts (e.g., force and distance). "

RAD. Infographics don't always require technology.

This map features green connections and community resources linked to CHERP. CHERP is the Campus Honors Environmental Research Program at the Pierre Laclede Honors College, University of Missouri - St. Louis. CHERP is a series of urban ecology courses, a platform for environmental sciences research, and a home for transformative activities as part of the Campus Ecology movement.

Representations of scale are interesting, with use of scrolling to reinforce it. (referred by CGS)

The mission of the Scientific Visualization Studio is to facilitate scientific inquiry and outreach within NASA programs through visualization. To that end, the SVS works closely with scientists in the creation of visualization products, systems, and processes in order to promote a greater understanding of Earth and Space Science research activities at Goddard Space Flight Center and within the NASA research community.

This is an interactive data visualization showing the popularity and the amount of evidence for various health supplements. You can turn off and on the conditions the supplements are intended to treat. There are also hyperlinks to key studies.

I didn't know this existed! How cool!

Also, just cool. What visualization has stuck with you your whole life? "All 1,943 Cornell Faculty were asked to respond to the following question: Of the many charts (graph, map, diagram, table and 'other') you have seen in your life, which has been the most important, remarkable, meaningful or valuable? On the archival paper provided, they were asked to create a copy of the chart and in the remaining space annotate notable attribute of the data and the image, describe what they remembered about first seeing this image and comment on why they chose this image. All other Cornell community members are invited to share their favorite chart by visiting the display table in Mann Library near the reference desk on the first floor."
