Begin exploring science on the Internet.
1. Biopoint The Franklin Institute Science Museum has linked with a 10th grade Biology class. This site features their work. Next week they will introduce some pages on the Origins of Life. Evaluate this site. What science did you learn about biology and the origins of life?
2. Frank Potter's Science Gems Valuable information for k-12 Science lessons. Find information about Pick Physical Science and Earth-Space science. Then pick Measurement and Scientific Investigation. Write about the science you learned at this site.
4. Bill Nye The Science Guy: Pick a science topic and explore. What science did you learn?
5. Contact the University of Florida (Physics Dept) , MicroKelvin Lab at Univ of Florida , FSU High Magnetic Lab, Absolute Zero , Temperature (extra credit given for completion of this one):
What experiments are conducted at a Micro-Kelvin research lab ? What is the lowest naturally occuring temperature in the universe? What is the lowest artificially created temperature? Can absolute zero actually be reached where ther is NO motion between atoms? Does the slowing of the movement between the atoms at absolute zero affect the movement WITHIN the atom? Do electrons slow down in rotation around the nucleus?
6. What is a magnet? Science of Magnets scroll to bottom of the page. Pick the different topics about magnets. Also try, the High Magnetic Lab at FSU pick Student Resources, then Pick FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) . Find the answers to questions about magnets )( There is alot of information about magnet here.
