Science Lab-Experiments & projects to do at home or in the classroom The SEED Science Center is a public place where Schlumberger scientists and engineers share their knowledge and experience with learners and teachers from around the world. The web site is organized into six areas: In Science Watch you will find articles on various topics in science and engineering. They are grouped into categories: * Earth Watch is about geology, geophysics, and other earth sciences. * People In Motion has tales of traveling to remote and interesting places around the world. * Sports & Science highlights well-known and some not so well-known sports, often with insights into the underlying science of the games. * Inventing Our World is about the things we design and build. * Air & Space Watch explores the sky and in the rest of the Universe. Science Lab has hands-on and virtual experiments that you can do at home or in school, and collaborative projects that you may participate in. Many of these activities are related to concepts and topics presented in Science Watch articles. The Science Lab is divided into several areas: * Earth Science * Air & Space * Electricity & Magnetism * Properties of Liquids * Math Puzzle of the Month * Engineering Challenge

View over 2,000 films from the Prelinger Archives! Prelinger Archives was founded in 1983 by Rick Prelinger in New York City. Over the next twenty years, it grew into a collection of over 60,000 "ephemeral" (advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur) films. In 2002, the film collection was acquired by the Library of Congress, Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division. Prelinger Archives remains in existence, holding approximately 4,000 titles on videotape and a smaller collection of film materials acquired subsequent to the Library of Congress transaction. Its goal remains to collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic significance that haven't been collected elsewhere. Included are films produced by and for many hundreds of important US corporations, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, community and interest groups, and educational institutions.

good site for demonstrating online Inquiry in a data base

from the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology. Animal Diversity Web (ADW) is an online database of animal natural history, distribution, classification, and conservation biology at the University of Michigan Animal Diversity Web Has * Thousands of species accounts about individual animal species. These may include text, pictures of living animals, photographs and movies of specimens, and/or recordings of sounds. Students write the text of these accounts and we cannot guarantee their accuracy. * Descriptions of levels of organization above the species level, especially phyla, classes, and in some cases, orders and families. Hundreds of hyperlinked pages and images illustrate the traits and general biology of these groups. Professional biologists prepare this part. Animal Diversity Web Is An Online Encyclopedia. ADW is a large searchable encyclopedia of the natural history of animals. Every day, thousands of classroom students and informal visitors use it to answer animal questions. Other sites specialize in local, endangered, or particular kinds of animals. We aim to be as comprehensive as possible. A Science Learning Tool. ADW facilitates inquiry-driven learning, that is, teaching about science by leading students to use the methods of science. Our large database is structured, providing consistent information for all species to foster comparisons. An advanced search tool allows a user to call up species accounts fitting any combination of descriptors. Students can explore for patterns and relationships, learn how to frame and answer scientific questions and, with the help of a good teacher, experience the excitement and satisfaction of doing science. Our long-term goal is to create a database rich enough that students can discover for themselves basic concepts in ecology and conservation biology.
