HABITABLE PLANET INTERACTIVE LABS
http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/interactives/index.php
Use this set of interactive labs from the Annenberg Media
course "The Habitable Planet" to explore the intersection of
math and science. Labs tie together common concepts around the
themes of:
- Carbon
- Demographics
- Disease
- Ecology
- Energy
Each lab consists of a simulator with a series of questions to
think about as you explore scenarios, as well as a data table
to help students track their data as they progress.
For more about the Habitable Planet course, see its home page:
