Here blue particles represent the flow of water, moving as electrons do through a circuit to create electricity. The rate of water flow, defined as the volume of the fluid moving past a certain point in a fixed amount of time, is comparable to the rate of charge passing a point in a circuit (electric current), which is measured in amperes (coulombs/second). pdboyer Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:54:33 GMT http://www.nrdc.org/greensquad/intro/intro_1.asp Green Squad – www.nrdc.org/greensquad A website co-developed by Natural Resources Defense Council and Healthy Schools Network for middle-schoolers to help them investigate the school environment. Find the environmental problems, compare them to your school, and use the fact sheets to improve the environment at your school. There is also a Parent-Teacher Room and virtual library to help with the investigation. Or visit www.healthyschools.org/kids and learn how you can use your school newspaper to report on environmental conditions. pdboyer Sun, 25 Apr 2010 01:09:18 GMT http://education.smarttech.com/ste/en-US/Ed+Resource/Lesson+activities/Notebook+Activities/Correlated+Search+us.htm 8th grade science notebooks for import to promethean format pdboyer Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:19:36 GMT http://www.curriculumbits.com/products.php?cat=24 Physical science interactive lessons.
