Acceleration Formula

So, the acceleration is the change in the velocity, divided by the time. Acceleration has a magnitude (a value) and a direction. The direction of the acceleration does not have to be the same as the direction of the velocity. The units for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s2). a = acceleration (m/s2) vf = the final velocity (m/s) vi = the initial velocity (m/s) Ecological Footprint Quiz.

The Ecological Footprint is a resource accounting tool that measures how much biologically productive land and sea is used by a given population or activity, and compares this to how much land and sea is available. Productive land and sea areas support human demands for food, fiber, timber, energy, and space for infrastructure. What does the Ecological Footprint measure? Global hectares are hectares with world-average productivity for all productive land and water areas in a given year. How accurate are Ecological Footprint measurements?

Charles Norris through 1920s New York City as they help solve crimes with groundbreaking forensic science. Using four case studies of lethal poisons, you can find the visual evidence, chemical trails, and supporting evidence to uncover the truth and learn some basics about biochemistry – the impact of poisons on the human body. Watch the video on what this is and how it works. PBS LearningMedia has created educational resources for teachers to use alongside "Tales from the Poisoner's Handbook.

Today’s Best Educational Apps for Kids list is Best Science apps for middle school and upper elementary kids (Age 10 to 15).

Best Science Apps for Middle School and Upper Elementary School Kids

I did not include those animal related apps, as there will be a separate list of “Best Educational Apps for Kids” on ”Nature and Animals”. Most science apps I listed for kids age 6 to 10 are also appropriate for this age group. You can find that list by visiting Best Science Apps for Elementary School Kids. If you know any good science apps for kids age 10 to 15, please leave the app name in a comment.

I will update the list periodically. VideoScience (Free): the app has a growing library of over 80 hands-on science lessons that are great for home and the classroom. Britannica Kids: Volcanoes ($4.99): Like other Britannica Kids apps, this one integrates multimedia materials teaching kids everything about volcanoes: the Erupting Earth, Lava and Magma, Types of Volcano, Decade Volcanoes, and more. Natural Disaster Preparedness Unit. (4th Grade)

Each year, I lead our 4th graders through a natural disasters research unit and each year I ask myself, what can I change to make this better.

Natural Disaster Preparedness Unit. (4th Grade)

I've done the project in small groups. The Technology teacher and I have teamed up for students to do green screen news broadcasts "live" from a disaster taking place. I've aligned the research with the Big6 inquiry process. And still I've felt like the project was missing something. Well... that is until now. With a little help from an amazing online simulation game as well as migrating our work to GAFE, I finally feel like we've got something truly awesome worth sharing. What follows below is a rough outline of the unit for you to incorporate, adapt, make your own, and otherwise improve for your own needs and the needs of your students. Enjoy!
