What do we know about the past extinctions, including their likely causes? In this lesson, students learn about mass extinctions, map extinction events to a geologic timeline, and explore current ideas about whether human influences may lead to another major extinction event. pdboyer Thu, 07 Apr 2011 00:35:59 GMT http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/capture/ Black holes Comets & asteroids Electromagnetic spectrum/ Light and color Galaxies Gravity History of science Hubble Space Telescope Solar system Stars & stellar evolution pdboyer Sat, 06 Nov 2010 20:49:46 GMT http://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/big-questions/when-and-how-did-the-elements-of-life-in-the-universe-arise/ Following the Big Bang and the gradual cooling of the Universe, the primary constituents of the cosmos were the elements hydrogen and helium. Even today, these two elements make up 98% of the visible matter in the Universe.  Nevertheless, our world and everything it contains—even life itself—is possible only because of the existence of heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, iron, and many, many others. How long did it take the first generations of stars to seed our Universe with the heavy elements we see on Earth today?  When in the history of the Universe was there a sufficient supply of heavy elements to allow the formation of prebiotic molecules and terrestrial-like planets pdboyer Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:38:23 GMT http://www.noanswersingenesis.org.au/ C mrnitpicky Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:30:43 GMT http://intro.bio.umb.edu/aipotu/ Aipotu (Formerly the Molecular Genetics Explorer) Pronounced "ay poh too". The name is "Utopia" reversed: the software creates a utopia that simulates the genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and evolution of organisms in a biologically reasonable and pedagogically relevant way. This software was formerly called the Molecular Genetics Explorer; it has been improved with the addition of an Evolution Workspace pdboyer Sat, 11 Sep 2010 15:13:47 GMT http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/falsasum.html Little deceptive problem stories are presented to the class, and students are challenged to solve each problem by asking only yes/no questions. The key is for students to recognize what the False Assumption is that makes the solution tricky, and that many common problems are difficult to solve because we tend to assume a particular paradigm. Things are not always what they seem! Science is a way to work around or through those false assumptions. PRINCIPAL CONCEPT Scientific knowledge is contingent and subject to modification. ASSOCIATED CONCEPTS Science contains an element of uncertainty.
