In response to Dan Meyer’s Where is Your List?, I put together this collection of science related animations, movies, and interactive modules. This list features resources I find valuable and have used either in a PowerPoint presentation or as a stand alone example. I still like to keep science real, but sometimes an animation can bring a topic to life in ways a text or lecture can not.
1) Radiation & Conduction
2) Atmospheric Layers
3) Big Bang
4) Plate Tectonics
5) Earth Rotation
6) Sun Motions
7) The Seasons
8) Pangaea Breakup
9) Polar Sea Ice Melting
10) Lunar Landing
11) Making a Topographic Profile
12) Convection Currents
13) Density
14) Seismic Waves
15) Volcano animation: Mt. Kilauea
16) Minerals
17) The Rock Cycle
18) The Water Cycle
19) Land Slide
20) Flash Flood
21) Braided Stream
22) Soil Horizons
23) Half-Life
24) El Niño/ La Niña
25) Global Warming
26) Phases of the Moon
27) Tides
28) Orbital Eccentricity
29) Periodic Table (Thanks Todd)
30) Sun Dial (Thanks A. Mercer)

]]> The next total lunar eclipse is scheduled to occur on February 20, 2008 at 10:26 pm. Giving out extra credit would be a great motivator for students to stay up and watch the event.

A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon’s disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray.
