A History of the World - Location - Europe A Longer Topic Index Draft | ASA Homeschool Science Resources In the last post, Drafting a subject-topic index, I presented a heavily pruned draft of a subject-topic index. In this post I provide a longer, unpruned version. I believe our goal is to arrive at a list that is somewhere in between these two extremes. This index came from several sources. First topics were found from syllabuses and curricula. State standards were were briefly examined. I worked on the list as an outline. The subjects of ‘Technology and Applied Science’, ‘Science as Study’, ‘Science and Christianity’ have not been repeated for this post. Some of these levels are more natural than others. I could use feedback. –Patrick The Outline Astronomy The Cosmos Galaxies and Stars The Solar System Discovery and exploration Sun Planets (Inner planets and Outer planets) * Mercury * Venus * Mars * Jupiter * Saturn * Uranus * Neptune Asteroid belt Dwarf Planets Comets Kuiper belt Earth Science Earth’s Properties, Structure, Composition Seasons Solar intensity Latitude The Earth’s surface Physics
ChronoZoom ChronoZoom is an educational tool for teachers and students who want to put historical events in perspective. A great many resources have been created already in ChronoZoom for your enjoyment and enlightenment. Start Exploring Use ChronoZoom to get a perspective of the extensive scale of time and historical events relative to what happened around the world. New Teacher Resources RT @MSFTResearch: See how #Chronozoom helps students “think historically” & travel though time with 3 newly created curriculum modules http… #chronozoom is a valuable tool for illustrating Climate Change: @metanexus Anyone can author their small or Big History on the 14 Billion year timeline at - an open source project. @BillGates Congratulations to the Big History Project. RT @BillGates: Big History is my favorite course ever. You don't have any favorite timelines yet.

World History Science Books Online Dinosaur Toothpaste PC2 CON-7 — Supercharged Science OPT Hydrogen peroxide is used to fuel rockets, airplanes, and other vehicle engines. Chemistry teachers everywhere use it to demonstrate what a catalyst is. To speed up a reaction without altering the chemistry of what’s going on in the reaction involves adding a catalyst. A catalyst changes the rate of reaction but doesn’t get involved in the overall chemical changes. For example, leaving a bottle of hydrogen peroxide outside in the sunlight will cause the hydrogen peroxide to decompose. However, this process takes a long time, and if you don’t want to wait, you can simply toss in a lump of charcoal to speed things along. The carbon is a catalyst in the reaction, and the overall effect is that instead of taking two months to generate a balloon full of oxygen, it now only takes five minutes. A catalyst can also slow down a reaction. In this experiment, you’ll see that there’s a lot of oxygen hiding inside the peroxide – enough to really make things interesting and move around!
