EARTHFORCE
Interactive exhibit about the earth s movements. From the Franklin Institute Science Museum.
http://www.fi.edu/earth/earth.html

Extractions: If you have ever felt the rumble of an earthquake or seen the eruption of a volcano, you've witnessed EARTHFORCE . For scientists, the word force is defined as a push or pull that causes a change in motion. EARTHFORCE , then, is the pushing and pulling in the core, crust, or water of the Earth that causes motion like eruptions, quakes, or floods. Beneath the surface of the Earth, tremendous EARTHFORCES are at work, pushing and pulling against the crust. The surface of the Earth, called the crust, is constantly moving, creating its own EARTHFORCE About three-quarters of the Earth's crust is covered with water where EARTHFORCES are always at work. EARTHFORCE Idea Index: Volcanoes Earthquakes Floods Tsunami ... Avalanches
Activity: Earth Science
An elementary or junior high experiment. Students can see for themselves the effects of a greenhouse, and relate this to what occurs in the atmosphere. From the Franklin Institute Science Museum.
http://sln.fi.edu/tfi/activity/earth/earth-5.html

Extractions: Grade Level: K - 8 This simple experiment serves as an introduction to the greenhouse effect. Students can see for themselves the effects of a greenhouse, and relate this understanding to what occurs in our atmosphere. Objectives: 1. Help students understand the greenhouse effect as a physical phenomenon. 2. Use simple experimentation techniques including: observing and recording data, use of a control, drawing conclusions from results, use of a model. Materials: For every group of (about) four students: 2 Small thermometers Method: Group the students and distribute the materials. Each group should place their thermometers a few inches apart under the sunlamp or in direct sunlight. Wait about three minutes so the thermometers will be giving accurate readings, and then have the students record the temperature readings on both thermometers as well as the time. Each group should now place their jar over one of their thermometers, taking care that the jar does not cast a shadow over the uncovered one. If the thermometers are too large to remain horizontal inside the jars, it is fine to stand them against an inner side. Every minute, for ten minutes, the students should record the readings of both thermometers.
Exploratorium Magazine: Chocolate
Information about cacao, history, production, and health effects. Includes bibliography and links to related material. Provided by the Exporatorium, a science museum in San Francisco.
http://www.exploratorium.edu/exploring/exploring_chocolate/index.html

Extractions: hocolate. There are few foods that people feel as passionate about a passion that goes beyond a love for the "sweetness" of most candies or desserts: after all, few people crave caramel, whipped cream, or bubble gum. Chocolate is, well, different. For the true chocoholic, just thinking about chocolate can evoke a pleasurable response. You may want to grab a bar or make a nice cup of hot cocoa before you begin exploring here. This special online-only edition of Exploring takes a closer look at the sweet lure of chocolate. We'll examine the fascinating and often misreported history of chocolate, follow the chocolate-making process, and take an online visit to a chocolate factory. We'll also look at the science of chocolate, and find out about the latest research into the possible health effects of its consumption. Lastly, we'll explore the somewhat controversial question of why chocolate make us feel so good.

Extractions: skip to: lanlbar menubar toolbar links ... LANL: Bradbury Science Museum Le Bradbury Science Museum est situé au centre-ville de Los Alamos, au coin de la Central Avenue et de la 15 ième rue ( voir la carte ) Los Alamos, est situé essentiellement sur les impressionnantes mesas qui s'étendent des pentes boisées des montagnes de Jemez à l'ouest. La ville dont la population est de 17.000 personnes, donne sur la vallée du Rio Grande et, à l'est sur les crêtes de la chaîne de Sangre de Cristo, qui forment l'extrémité méridionale des montagnes rocheuses. Los Alamos est à 40 minutes de trajet de Santa Fe dans la direction nord-ouest. D'Ailleurs on est juste à 25 minutes du monument national de Bandelier, le site des grottes anciennes des premiers Indiens. Depuis son deplacement en avril 1993, le musée a accueilli presque 110.000 visiteurs par an qui sont venus pour voir les objets exposés au musée et pour participer à ses programmes de la communauté et à ses programmes d'l'éducation. Top of page Plus de 40 expositions interactifs sont exposés dans les cinq galeries. Ils renseignent la défense du laboratoire, la technologie, et les projets de recherche fondamentale, comme l'histoire du projet Manhattan. Plusieurs objets exposés incorporent des activités à commande manuelle, telles des programmes informatiques, des jeux éducatifs et des videos. Un film de 20-minutes sur l'histoire du project Manhattan (c'est à dire le développement de la première bombe atomique) à Los Alamos, est presenté tout au long de la journée. Les guides du musée sont toujours prêts à répondre aux questions.
