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: Static Electricity Abstract: STATIC ELECTRICITY LAB ACTIVITY How do charged objects affect each other

Document: Gravity Waves Make Tornadoes Abstract: GrITs stands for Gravity wave Interactions with Tornadoes. “It’s a computer model I developed to study how atmospheric gravity waves interact with severe storms,” says research meteorologist Tim Coleman of the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

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: 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: Cooking With The Sun Organize students into small groups. Have each group research a solar cooker design on the internet and then build a solar cooker based on that design. Have students use their solar cooker to cook foods for a class picnic.
