Planets - 0 views

    This is a view of the solar-system which shows it as we understand it to be. The Sun is in the centre, and the planets orbit at varying speeds. Notice how the outer planets move much more slowly than the inner ones.

Quandary - 1 views

  •  
    "Players aged 8 and up shape the future of a new society while learning how to recognize ethical issues and deal with challenging situations in their own lives. Players lead a new human colony on a distant planet. They must make difficult decisions in which there are no clear right or wrong answers but important consequences - to themselves, to others in the colony and to the planet Braxos. Players develop skills such as critical thinking, perspective-taking and decision-making. Quandary provides a framework for how to approach ethical decision-making without telling players what to think."

Teachers' Domain: String Theory: Newton's Embarrassing Secret - 3 views

  •  
    "In this video segment from NOVA, string theorist Brian Greene explains how, for more than 200 years, Isaac Newton's theory of gravity remained unchallenged despite the fact Newton himself had no idea how gravity actually worked. Albert Einstein eventually proved that Newton was mistaken about gravity, at least as it applied to the most massive stellar objects. To illustrate a key difference in their two theories, animations depict a cosmic catastrophe: the destruction of the Sun and the effects on the orbiting planets. "
