Fun to Imagine [1.06.49] Theoretical physicist Richard Feynman was unparalleled for his wit, warmth, and insightful understanding of theoretical physics. Being a gifted conversationalist with a powerful passion, Feynman loved to talk about theoretical physics and was good at it, so much so he was known as "the Great Explainer." Few others were able to approach the difficult and nebulous realm of physics and break it down into simple, entertaining, and informative nuggets of information. This video is 9 brief science lessons from his 1983 series Fun to Imagine.

How Stuff Works - You and your group will research a technological process that creates a familiar object or product. You will then work with your group to create a poster showing the steps in that technological process.
Introducing Technology - We are going to discover new and interesting ways to use the Internet to its full potential.
Let's Fly! - You have just read about Amelia Earhart, who was an extraordinary pilot. In this webquest you will learn about aircrafts and how they fly. You will then use what you learn to create and design your own plane.
Parts of the Computer - You must use the world wide web to create a timeline of computer development. Some questions to think about include: When was the first computer created and by whom? How come we have such powerful computers today?

nuclear remote online laboratory ANSTO AND Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FarLabs) have developed a nuclear remote online laboratory that schools can use to perform experiments with nuclear radiation. The “Turntable” experiment illustrates the penetrating power of different forms of radiation. Students can choose to pair one of four sources (alpha, beta, gamma, and unknown) with one of five absorbers, including no absorber at all. A live data feed shows the count rate from a Geiger counter placed above the selected radioactive source. The "Inverse Square Law" experiment demonstrates how the amount of radiation decreases with increasing distance from a radiation source. Students can access a live data feed showing the count rate from a Geiger counter placed at a selected distance away from a radiation source. Teachers need to register using this link before using the remote laboratory. Please direct all enquiries to p.atsikidis@latrobe.edu.au. We highly recommend testing this remote laboratory on your school’s equipment before planning a lesson with your class.
