Students in a groups determine which everyday objects are related to each other.
Students will learn how species shift along environmental gradients (temperature, precipitation, and vegetation) in response to climate change over the last 20,000 years, from the time of the Last Glacial Maximum through deglaciation and the Holocene. The activity involves making maps of species distribution using the Neotoma database. Students will develop skills in data analysis and interpretation over a two-to-four class arc.

In EARTH 801, you will develop skills in a programming language designed for visual arts and visualization while exploring Earth science topics. Specifically, you'll learn and practice digital graphics capabilities in order to render Earth science concepts that are otherwise difficult to visualize due to complicated space and time scales. Here, you will interact with large, open, freely-available data sets by collecting, plotting, and analyzing them using a variety of computational methods. You'll be ready to teach secondary school students a range of Next Generation Science Standard skills involving data collecting, manipulation, analysis, and plotting. You'll also read and discuss current research regarding the teaching, learning, and evaluation of visualization skills, as well as multiple external representations of science concepts.
The first video in Lesson 02: Computer Hardware. This video takes a quick look at the categories of computer hardware: processing, storage, input, and output.
Before keyboards, printers, even monitors there was processing. Processing is the reason computers are computers. Processing is the ability of the computer to take in raw data and basically make sense of it.
In this video we look at: Microprocessor (CPUs), Moore's Law, and Motherboard.
We examine storage devices in computers. This storage lecture has been broken up into to two section, this one focuses on hard drives and RAM, the next video covered removable storage devices.
The second part of our storage videos. This video looks at some of the removable storage media you can use. We look at floppy drives, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray and ROM (flash memory).
Video 5 in our introduction to computers series looks at computer input devices. We examine some common input devices and look at how to clean your keyboard and mouse.
Our last video in our Computer Hardware lesson, part of the Introduction to Computers course.
This video looks at the most common output devices found on a computer we also list out top 5 resources, be sure to check them out.

The first video in the Computer Software series, part of our Introduction to Computers course. This video looks at the general types of software, software development, the software development life cycle, as well as explains what computer programers do.
Welcome to one of the most geeky videos in the entire series. This video will introduce you to the computer boot process, the way a computer starts from the moment you turn the computer on, till the operating system kicks in.
Video 3 of our Introduction to Computer course. This course looks at the basics of operating systems. We take a look at what an operating system is, file systems, user interfaces and command line.
