Document: unit 5 physics case study hearing_loss Document: unit 5 physics case studycell_phone Abstract: Why does grandpa ignore grandma?-Carla, a first semester graduate student in audiology, has noticed that her grandfather appears to be having trouble hearing what her grandmother says. Other people in the family can’ help but notice it too as it becomes a source of increasing aggravation and...

Document: Unit 3 Physics Case Study Abstract: In this case study, two students have been asked to conduct a “systems analysis” study to determine whether ethanol derived from corn or biodiesel prepared from soybeans is the more energy efficient alternative fuel. The students must investigate the two systems very broadly to determine all energy inputs and outputs. When the corn-to-ethanol system...

Document: The Fender Bender Case Study-6 Abstract: John knew that his parents would be furious when he told them about the fender bender he just got in. But he was convinced that the accident was not his fault. Can John’s experiment prove to his dad that he was not to blame for the fender bender?

Document: Copper Wire in Silver Nitrate Abstract: Determine the relative number of moles of reactant and product for a chemical reaction.  

Document: Science Unit 3 (Revised)-2 Abstract: Unit three is Exploring Change, specifically bonds, energy, and reactions.  The change to be investigated will include indicators of chemical reactions as they relate to chemical bonding and energy changes. Chapters 7 and 8 cover ionic and covalent bonding respectively, while chapters 9 and 19 are the introduction to stoichiometry, chemical reactions. Again, a review...

Document: Unit 3 Section 2 Energy Abstract: This unit introduces students to the topic of energy and the ideas of energy conservation. The students begin by developing understandings about the different forms of energy (i.e. Kinetic and Potential). Students then connect these concepts to develop an understanding about the law of conservation of energy. Furthermore, the unit provides the students...

Document: http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/detail.asp?case_id=304&id=304 Abstract: What is a googol?  Invented by Edward Kasner, an American mathematician who popularized the number in his 1940 book, Mathematics and the Imagination, it is a 1 followed by a hundred zeros. This directed case in estimation and very large numbers was written for a college-level introductory astronomy course, although it could also be used in a variety of...
