This course introduces fundamental properties of the neutron. It covers reactions induced by neutrons, nuclear fission, slowing down of neutrons in infinite media, diffusion theory, the few-group approximation, point kinetics, and fission-product poisoning. It emphasizes the nuclear physics bases of reactor design and its relationship to reactor engineering problems.

This is a 3-credit, 10-week course.

This course is intended to serve as an introduction to the emerging and evolving fields of the sociology and psychology of physical activity. This course considers the many specialized facets of these topics in a review fashion, and selected topics, owing to their significance and/or empirical basis, are covered in more depth. This course considers both historical and contemporary developments in exercise psychology and sociology, and examines the social and psychobiological predictors and health-related consequences of physical activity behaviors.

This resource consists of two .zip files that have reading guides for the College Physics textbook at openstax.org. Each zip file has Word documents for the standard first and second semester set of topics for a year-long freshman level college physics course. The reading guides summarize the key points, provide extra explanations, and pose questions for the student. The reading guides were written for the first edition of the textbook. Permission is granted for free use and editing of the reading guides.

My name is Ahmed Malik and I am a 3rd year at the University of Chicago. I like to use visualizations/interactive elements to convey information in an aesthetic fashion. I believe that OpenStax can benefit from becoming more interactive, so I created an example of an interactive "textbook" and shared it with the OpenStax staff. They asked me to post it on this group so we can get more feedback. I would greatly appreciate all comments and ideas. My goal is to make something like this for all standard physics subjects, (mechanics, E&M, quantum mechanics, etc), and I believe it could even be applied to other subjects.

(PS: This is meant to be an interactive web experience, but I had issues posting it online, so I just recorded myself using it as another student would)

This is an open-source, modern physics textbook typically for the third semester students majoring in engineering, physics or chemistry. An emphasis is placed on fundamental principles as well as numerical solutions to equations where no analytical solutions exist. The content begins with optics and uses that as a stepping stone to wave phenomena and quantum systems.

FULL COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Differentiate between the ideas of Health Inequality vs. Health Inequity and how these concepts relate to the ability to adopt and adhere to a physically active lifestyle.
Describe how the Ecological Model informs our understanding of the factors that influence healthy behaviors including influences at intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, and societal/cultural levels.
Describe how ideas surrounding physical activity have evolved over time and be aware of the accomplishments of key individuals who have spurred this process.
Discuss community and policy-level factors that influence physical activity behaviors across the lifespan.
Effectively employ key terms and concepts commonly used in research on physical activity.
Explain how physical activity behaviors, their determinants, and their consequences are assessed using valid and reliable measures in research.
Discuss how the field of Exercise Psychology uses research evidence, including Hill’s Criteria for Causality and the Gold Standard for Experimental Research, to understand how physical activity behaviors like exercise influence health outcomes.
Discuss how physical activity influences outcomes related to mental health and quality of life including depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain, stress and sleep.
Discuss traditional and contemporary approaches for promoting healthy behavior change and how they can be applied with individuals and groups.
Practice effective communication surrounding health-related behavior change.

Short Description:
This study guide was developed to assist post-secondary students in learning Physics for Health II course. The course uses OpenStax College Physics free textbook. Students will use this guide to facilitate weekly learning, review and test their knowledge of key concepts introduced each week, and to examine health and biology related applications of the topics discussed in the course. Interactive activities and concepts maps will help reinforce the understanding of the concepts and to review the course concepts. Additionally, learners will have the opportunity to develop 21st century skills through resources and activities.

These instructional videos, created by Barbara Gilbert at Central New Mexico Community College, covers physics concepts and certain practice problems in Chapters 1-17 of OpenStax's College Physics text.

Students will complete a laboratory experiment, followed by answering questions as to whether the changes were physical or chemical in nature.

This lab manual is intended to be used in introductory physical geography lab courses. It is tailored to the Antelope Valley College program, but can be adapted for use elsewhere. Certain labs reference The Essential World Atlas, and Physical Geography, both published by Oxford University Press. Other textbooks can be substituted as needed.

Physical geography is the study of the earth's dynamic systems: its air, water, weather climate, landforms, rocks, soils, plants, ecosystems and biomes and how humans interact with the earth's systems. Physical geography is the study of the world around you. It will help you to understand why San Francisco is always cold and foggy, why we have earthquakes, and what causes seasons. Everyone, every day, interacts with the earth's dynamic systems. I challenge you to join me on an exploration of the complex, and exciting world in which you live!

The aim of this unit is that upon completion, teachers will be able to integrate ICT into the learning environment and manage the use of supplementary ICT resources with individuals and small groups.

This unit is presented as a series of progressive tasks. Each learning task can be used to reach one or more of the applicable outcomes and may be taught as one lesson or part of a lesson. Teachers are encouraged to select learning tasks that best fit their teaching style and students’ needs. Modifications, accommodations, and extensions specific to your learners are strongly recommended. The suggested assessments are designed to give teachers ideas related to each task.Prior to the learning tasks, the standards, applicable exit outcomes, focus and subfocus skills/concepts, and critical skill elements are listed within the overview.Cover image: "Soccer" by monica_aulich from Pixabay.com AttributesGraham, G., Holt/Hale, S.
