Exclusion Chromatography
No full textThis site contains a brief description of the separation mechanism in size exclusion chromatography. The picture helps visualize the separation, but the site features a simplified and idealized presentation useful for students new to the concept
Chemistry Links
No full textThis compiled site contains titles and links to over 40 sites, journal articles, course and tutorial materials, simulations, batteries, and other resources. Definitions of chemistry, theoretical chemistry, organic, physical and nuclear chemistry are integrated with the links to outside materials. A number of useful keywords are included to help users navigate the materials
Gordon and Mike's ICT Podcast: IPv6 Tutorial with Sam Browne Part 1 of 4
No full textGordon and Mike's ICT Podcast offers perspectives on the information and communication technologies (ICT) industries from Gordon Snyder and Mike Qaissaunee. In this podcast, the hosts share a workshop given by Sam Browne from the City College of San Francisco on Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The talk was given at the Convergence Technology Center's winter retreat at Collin College. This is part one of four; the other parts will be added to the ICT podcast page in the future. Running time for the show is 35:47.This podcast is available for direct download in mp3 format from the Libsyn site, or click here to subscribe to the whole series in iTunes
Wetlands and Hurricanes
No full textThis instructional guide is designed to provide instructors with lecture materials and resources that examine the complex relationship between wetlands and hurricanes using Hurricane Katrina as a case study. Student objectives, a general lecture outline and a more detailed PowerPoint presentation with instructor notes are provided. This module describes the vulnerability of the Gulf Coast to damage from hurricanes and the role that wetlands and barrier islands play in coastal protection. An evaluation of hurricane impacts on the Gulf Coast using âbeforeâ and âafterâ satellite images and aerial photography is included. Proposals for the restoration of wetlands as a method for increasing protection of the region from future hurricanes are also described.Instructors who are looking for videos or additional print and web-based resources on the topics covered here should consult the resources list provided at the end of this module where these resources are summarized and cited.Upon successful completion of this module students should be able to:* Describe the vulnerability of the Gulf Coast to damage from hurricanes* Describe the role of wetlands and barrier islands in storm protection* Describe the impacts of hurricanes on wetlands and barrier islands* Describe the benefits and challenges of wetland restoration as a mechanism for providing storm protectio
Redox Activity
No full textThis resource provides an introductory activity on redox reactions. As the module states, "Redox is short for reduction/oxidation, a pair of chemical processes that always occur together. Reduction is a gain of electrons, and oxidation involves a loss of electrons." The activity covers concepts such as electronegativity and electron distribution, sharing electrons differently, full exchange of electrons and the oxidation state. This module allows students to test their knowledge as they go. Although a preview of the activity is available, instructors and students are encouraged to sign up with the Electron Technologies site before starting to use these materials
Geospatial Revolution
No full textThis video segment from Geospatial Revolution, produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting, demonstrates how different digital technologies can be used together to create a powerful mapping tool that can help in a crisis situation. In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, a technology platform called Ushahidi was used to help rescue teams and aid workers perform their services and communicate with one another. Using a combination of satellite images of Haiti, information collected on the ground via text messages and social media Web sites, and volunteer translators outside of Haiti, Ushahidi produced interactive online maps that reflected the real-time situation, indicating where help was needed and the location of collapsed buildings and makeshift hospitals. The video runs 4:11 and is accompanied by a background essay, standards alignment, and discussion questions. Users who sign up for a free account can save the resource and download the video as well
Genetic Education Resources for Teachers
No full textAs genetics and genomics research advances rapidly through the knowledge gained from the completed human DNA sequence, teachers and educators require new classroom tools to present the rich history, complexity and excitement of the world of genetics and genomics. These teaching resources include specific teaching plans to present the history, facts and genetic terminology behind the Human Genome Project
FOA Lecture 10: Fiber Optic Network Design Part 2
No full textThis is the 10th lecture in the FOA series on fiber optics. This lecture introduces the process of designing a fiber optic network and talks about what is involved in planning a fiber optic network. Running time for the lecture is 6:08. Flash is required to view the video
FOA Lecture 17: OTDR Testing
No full textThis is Lecture 17 in the FOA series on fiber optics. This lecture is on OTDRS - optical time domain reflectometers. OTDRs are very powerful test tools for fiber optics but are complex and require more analysis of the test information than most instruments. This lecture, the first of 3 on OTDRs, covers the basics of how OTDRs work. Running time for the lecture is 10:59. Flash is required to view the video
What Do I Do Now? Laboratory Tales From Teaching Assistants
No full textProfessor Hal White of the University of Delaware has edited this fine collection of material for those seeking to learn more about laboratory instruction at the college level. These "TA Tales" were sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and their four-year Undergraduate Science Education Grants. The materials place a premium on teaching cases which provide "an incomplete story in which an unresolved problem is presented and left for the reader or discussants to analyze and propose reasonable action." Visitors will find well over 50 teaching cases including "Cell Phone-Turn Off?", "Chemistory", "Doctor's Note", and "Early Dismissal." The cases cover a myriad of topics including plagiarism, classroom etiquette, and other allegorical tales of the classroom experience
