Learners read a general description of the function and structure of leaves and examine drawings and microscopic views. A matching exercise completes the learning object.
Weight- Volume Relationships: Saturated Density (Metric)
Students read how to determine and calculate the saturated density for a given sample of soil or aggregate, based on the mass-volume relationship. Practice problems complete the activity.
Learners read about the mutations that occurred in plants for the successful transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial existence. The classification of plants is based on these adaptive structures.
The learner sorts a variety of foods based on personal preferences. Those personal choices are then classified by food group. The learner views the charts and reads information about the major food groups.
Assessing the Importance of Socialization in Abusive Families
In this learning activity you'll analyze two articles, "Boot Camp Killer" and "The Story of Us," and answer questions based on how the characters were affected by their abusive families.
Learners listen to an office conversation. They then review tips on how to improve the feedback they give others and practice writing a response based on the conversation they heard.
Dietary Manager Training: Hydration, Dehydration, and Elderly Clients
Learners read about the role of water, the basic physiology of water balance, and the effects of dehydration particularly on elderly clients. Tips for maintaining proper hydration are presented. In an interactive exercise, students calculate how much fluid a client needs based on his/her age, health, and weight.
In this animated activity, learners observe how pressure values throughout a hydraulic system are developed based on pump pressure and the size of the load.
In this interactive learning activity, learners explore factors that contribute to the aging process. Learners calculate their age based on biological, psychological, and social experiences. Further reflection allows the learner to consider options and assess issues that impact the aging process.
This screencast, we see how the shape of a stain defines the angle of impact. In general terms the more circular the stain, the more perpendicular will be the angle at which it struck the surface. The more elliptical the shape of the stain, the more acute the angle will be. With practice and experience, the analyst can recognize the general angle of impact based solely on the shape of the stain.
Nine Principles of Good Practice for Assessing Student Learning: Where Do I Stand?
In this interactive object, instructors use an extensive inventory to assess their beliefs and uses of assessment. The inventory is based on the work of educators supported by the American Association of Higher Education Assessment Forum in 1996.
