- Math Skills - Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^-9. So, how does this work? We can think of 5.6 x 10^-9 as the product of two numbers: 5.6 (the digit term) and 10^-9 (the exponential term). Here are some examples of scientific notation.

- Math Skills - Significant Figures
In any measurement, the number of significant figures is critical. The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring. It includes one estimated digit. So, does the concept of significant figures deal with precision or accuracy? I'll answer this question after you peruse the next example. Let's look at an example where significant figures is important: measuring volume in the laboratory. This can be done in many ways: using a beaker with volumes marked on the side, a graduated cylinder, or a buret. Which glassware would give you the most precise volume measurement? Let's figure out the volume for each one a

- Maya Astronomy
The Maya are well known for their precise calendar and astronomy. The four surviving written documents (which are called the Dresden, Madrid, Paris, and Grolier Codices) that they have left behind include an ephemeris that charts the heliacal risings and settings in the synodic cycle of the planet Venus and an eclipse warning table based on observable lunar and solar cycles.

- Measurement -- Volume and Capacity: Introduction
This webquest is set up to review the mathematical concepts of measurement and conversion with both the customary and the metric systems. It is my goal for these students to connect what they know about measurements to relationships they must use in science. My students should finish this quest with a better understanding of the interconnectedness of volume and capacity. Introduction Each student will have received 70 % or better on the pretest before beginning this quest. Those who need to will be getting some extra review before starting the quest. As you will be using measurements in both math and science with different processes, it is important that you have mastered skills in the measurement area.

- Meiosis Animation
Shockwave animation of the stages of meiosis. Quite a nice animation and explanation of the state of a gene as the cells go through both divisions. I think it would be powerful for Biology (AIS or independent)

- MIT BLOSSOMS (Blended Learning Open Source Science or Math Studies)
Welcome to BLOSSOMS. The vision of BLOSSOMS is to begin to develop a large, free repository of video modules for high school math and science classes created by gifted volunteer teachers from around the world, seeded initially by MIT faculty members and by partnering educators in Jordan and Pakistan.
