Learn About Complex Issues in the Energy Conversation

Created to complement the themes of the Electropolis 3D film and the Plan It Green: The Big Switch!game, National Geographic Education designed educational materials to bring students in Grades 4-12 content about energy sources, energy efficiency, and energy conservation. These free, online education resources are standards-based materials created for teachers and informal educators to use to engage students in science, social studies, and geography concepts related to energy.

These educational materials were developed for students spanning Grades 4-12; however, it's important to note the complexity of the energy topics addressed. Questions about energy cannot be easily answered, and energy-related decisions require the work of many experts to address economic, political, environmental, social, and other factors. Be mindful of the complexity of issues around energy topics in both the national and global energy conversation as you engage students in these topics. Students may benefit from an explanation of this "big picture" of the complexity of energy topics and then narrowing the focus as you engage them in specific energy-related issues with individual activities.

Educating youth about energy and energy solutions will be necessary if future generations are going to help solve our energy problems. Being armed with a greater understanding of energy allows us to make wiser choices in our personal lives, as well as in our communities. This collection of rich multimedia activities gives students a clear view of the benefits and challenges of our energy choices at a local to global scale, and their importance in our decision-making about energy today, tomorrow, and in the future.

Electronic color code (B.B. Roy of Great Britain Has a Very Good Wife) Availablestudy.blogspot.in

The  electronic color code  is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, very commonly for  resistors , but also for  capacitors ,  inductors , and others. A separate code, the  25-pair color code , is used to identify wires in some  telecommunications  cables. The electronic color code was developed in the early 1920s by the Radio Manufacturers Association (now part of  Electronic Industries Alliance [1]  (EIA)), and was published as EIA-RS-279. The current international standard is IEC 60062. [2] Colorbands were commonly used (especially on  resistors ) because they were easily printed on tiny components, decreasing construction costs. However, there were drawbacks, especially for color blind  people. Overheating of a component, or dirt accumulation, may make it impossible to distinguish brown from red from orange. Advances in printing technology have made printed numbers practical for small compo...

Functions _(c++ programming language)

Now that you should have learned about variables, loops, and conditional statements it is time to learn about functions. You should have an idea of their uses as we have already used them and defined one in the guise of main. cin.get() is an example of a function. In general, functions are blocks of code that perform a number of pre-defined commands to accomplish something productive.  Functions that a programmer writes will generally require a prototype. Just like a blueprint, the prototype tells the compiler what the function will return, what the function will be called, as well as what arguments the function can be passed. When I say that the function returns a value, I mean that the function can be used in the same manner as a variable would be. For example, a variable can be set equal to a function that returns a value between zero and four.  For example: #include <cstdlib> // Include rand() using namespace std; // Make rand() visible int a = rand(); ...
