8.962 is MIT’s graduate course in general relativity, which covers the basic principles of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, differential geometry, experimental tests of general relativity, black holes, and cosmology.
This fun Web site is part of OLogy, where kids can collect virtual trading cards and create projects with them. Here, they are introduced to Einstein's life and work with four engaging and kid-friendly areas. Equation Invasion, a look at the world's most famous equation about the relationship between energy and mass. Web Master, the scientists whose ideas and discoveries shaped Einstein's career. Light the Way, an introduction to "the fastest thing in the universe" and the waves it travels in. Everyday Einstein: LASERS, a comic strip that illustrates how Einstein's work led to the development of lasers.
Continuing our look at Nuclear Chemistry, Hank takes this episode to talk about Fusion and Fission. What they mean, how they work, their positives, negatives, and dangers. Plus, E=mc2, Mass Defect, and Applications of Fission and Fusion in the real world!
This unit delves into the fundamental science and historical contexts to help students explore the question "How can knowledge gained from the Manhattan Project and the Hanford Site contribute using nuclear technologies to positively impact humanity in the future?."Nuclear Chemistry is a great capstone unit for a standard high school chemistry course in that it is fantastic opportunity for students to explore the crossroads between scientific knowledge and the societal implications of new discoveries. Students will have the opportunity to Delve deep into the science standards while also connecting their learning to what it means for us as a global society.
