Document: Momentum AND Impulse Lab-1 Abstract: To compare the impulse experienced by an object to the resulting change in momentum of the object. Also, to investigate the effect of three variables (mass, collision time, velocity change) upon the impact force in a collision.

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: Unit 1 Motion Abstract: Section 1 of this unit introduces students to the topic of motion in one and two dimensions. All motion must be compared to a frame of reference. After learning the difference between vector and scalar quantities, the students will learn about how to describe the motion of an object in terms of its position, velocity,...

Document: http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/detail.asp?case_id=197&id=197 Abstract: In this case study, students speculate on what may have caused a major fish kill in an estuary in North Carolina. In the process, they explore how land runoff and excess nutrients affect aquatic communities, and learn about the complex life cycle of the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria. The case is appropriate for an introductory environmental science course, a general...

Document: http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/detail.asp?case_id=272&id=272 Abstract: This case is an exploration of the process of natural selection using white clover (Trifolium repens) as an example. In general, two forms of white clover can be found around the world in various habitats. One type is able to produce cyanide in its leaves, while the other is not. This variation within the clover species,...

Document: Chemistry Unit 2 – Finding Patterns Abstract: This unit, Finding Patterns, takes an inquiry approach to understanding the patterns of properties that exist among the elements. These patterns in properties are then linked to the wave-mechanics concept of atomic structure and the quantum atom. Beginning with isotopes and average atomic mass, as a way of understanding the importance of the...
