Marine Fisheries - Causes for Decline and Impacts
No full textThis instructional guide is designed to provide instructors with lecture support on the topic of marine fisheries with an emphasis on those species that are commercially harvested in the United States. Factors contributing to the decline of marine fisheries are discussed as well as the impacts of fishing at population, community and ecosystem levels. A general lecture outline and a more detailed PowerPoint presentation with instructor notes are provided. Print, video and web-based resources that cover the topic are summarized and cited. Instructors who wish to obtain greater detail on any of the topics discussed in this module are encouraged to seek out these additional resources or those cited in the Comprehensive Resources for NCSR Marine Fisheries Series
Underwater Robots; Oil and Gas Refining; Video Games
No full textThe ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV deals with engineering and design, oil and gas refinement for a major petroleum company, and video game design and creation, common programs offered at community colleges. It can be viewed whole or in three segments: "Environmental Engineering at Bristol Community College," "BP's Dennis Link on Jobs in Process Technology," and "Creating Video Games to Save Lives." The running time for the full episode is 9:14

Earthquake Hazards
No full textThis portion of the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) frequently-asked-questions feature on earthquakes addresses what individuals might actually experience during an earthquake. Topics include earthquake motion (rolling or shaking), earthquake effects (ground shaking, surface faulting, ground failure, etc.), earthquake magnitude, what an earthquake feels like, and others. There are also links to additional resources on earthquake effects and experiences
Electricity and Magnetism
No full textDeveloped as a part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology TEAL/Studio Physics Project, the Physics 8.02 Web site contains visualizations, course notes, and resources for MIT's Electricity and Magnetism course. The five visualization sections are: Vector Fields, Electrostatics, Magnetostatics, Faraday's Law, and Light. The course notes are organized by topic and have links to associated visualizations.

The Physics Classroom: Energy Terminology and Concepts
No full textThis item, created by Tom Henderson, is is a five-part tutorial on energy basics written for high school students. The author approaches work and energy as a means to analyze the motion of objects. Detailed explanations and sample problems allow users to explore potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy, while also introducing related equations. Included are force diagrams, quick links to pertinent definitions, and links to animations that allow users to visualize what is being discussed. This item is part of The Physics Classroom, a free online tutorial for high school physics students
