Help. Cool stuff. Landmarks for Schools. ENSI/SENSI Lesson List: Nature of Science. MUSE - Earth-Moon-Sun Dynamics - Course Material 1D. Course Material 1D: Black Box As an introduction to scientific inquiry through modeling, students observe what happens when various amounts of water are poured into a "black box" and propose models to explain their observations. While any "black box" would serve the purpose of this activity, our students make observations of a box (24"x12"x8") that has a funnel in the top inlet tube and a long outlet tube at the bottom. When water is poured into the funnel, students observe that sometimes, water emerges through the outlet tube and sometimes it does not. Also, the amount of water that does emerge is not constant.
A typical pattern of data would be: The focus of student work during this material (which typically takes two weeks to complete) is data collection, pattern recognition, and model building. Students collecting data, proposing a model, and testing their model. Products. Heartlandscience / FrontPage. Flu Attack! How A Virus Invades Your Body. It starts very simply. A virus, just one, latches on to one of your cells and fools that cell into making lots more. Lots, lots more, like a million new viruses. This animation shows you how viruses trick healthy cells to join the dark side. David Bolinsky and his team at XVIVO designed this animation for a research company called Zirus (and we thank Zirus for letting us play with their pictures). Bolinsky says what you see in the video actually happens much, much faster in real life — in a fraction of a fraction of a second.
And for those of you who were wondering, yes, the designers did add color. So the copying molecule isn't really pink. One Last Thing In our video we ask, if a flu virus inside your body can multiply by the millions within seconds, why don't we topple over and die quickly? Here's a better, longer answer than the one in the video. Why is science important? - A collection of thoughts from leadin. Global Maps.
