Results

These three short online lessons discuss asteroids, comets and meteors.

Outcomes:

• Describe how the concept of density relates to an object's mass and volume.
• Explain how objects of similar mass can have differing volume, and how objects of similar volume can have differing mass.
• Explain why changing an object's mass or volume does not affect its density (ie, understand density as an intensive property).
• Measure the volume of an object by observing the amount of fluid it displaces.
• Identify an unknown material by calculating its density and comparing to a table of known densities.

Clarifying some points on evolution and intelligent design.

Overview of fertilisation and early human development. From conception leading to a zygote to blastocyst, embryo and fetus.

Mitosis is how cells divide! Learn what happens in all the phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Other objects in the solar system are discussed in this online textbook viz. asteroids, meteorites, comets and dwarf planets.

The phases of Meiosis.

An exploration of how the area under a force vs. position graph equals the work done by the force and solves some sample problems.

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn about:

• the concept of work
• understand that work is done by an applied force
• the concept of energy
• identify the different types of energy
• the concept of power

What exactly is energy? How can changes in force, energy, and simple machines move objects like roller coaster cars? How can machines help us do work? In this chapter, you will discover the answer to this question and many more, as you learn about work, energy, and simple machines.
