Dunes, Boxcars, and Ball Jars: Mining the Great Lakes Shores part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with SSAC:Examples
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module/Geology of National Parks course. Students estimate the volume of sand in Hoosier Slide, a large dome-shaped dune quarried away in the 1920s from what is now Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. They also estimate the number of boxcars to carry the sand, and the number of Ball jars produced from it.

Yellowstone! A National Park on a Hot Spot part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with SSAC:Examples
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module/Geology of National Parks course. Students use foundational math to study the velocity of the North American Plate over the hot spot, the volume of eruptive materials from it, and the recurrence interval of the cataclysmic eruptions.

Virtual Photoelectric Lab part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with Data Simulations:Examples
This is a virtual lab activity on the photoelectric effect based on a Java applet simulation of the experiment.

Exploring Geochemistry in the Classroom Using MELTS Computational Tools part of Tools and Datasets:DataSheets
MELTS is a software package designed to facilitate thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibria in magmatic systems. Users can compute equilibrium phase relations for igneous systems over the temperature range ...

Salmon Use of Geomorphically Restored Streams at Point Reyes National Seashore part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with SSAC:Examples
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module/Geology of National Parks course. Students work with salmon-trace streambed data to study whether removal of a spawning run barrier was effective

Mapping Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise at Point Reyes National Seashore part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with SSAC:Examples
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum/Geology of National Parks module. Students work with a color-coded conditional-formatted spreadsheet map to work through a USGS report applying a coastal vulnerability index.

Supply Chain Management Simulation Activity part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with Data Simulations:Examples
A free online simulation that demonstrated the bull-whip effect, and the complexities of supply chain management, responding to changes in customer demand.

Transgenic Fly Lab part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with Data Simulations:Examples
This virtual fly lab provides participants with knowledge to better understand contruct and transpose DNA, transgenic organisms, gene expression, and circadian rhythm.

Genetic Drift part of Teaching Methods:Mathematical and Statistical Models:Examples
In this biology simulation, students use a mathematical simulation of genetic drift to answer questions about the factors that influence this evolutionary process. Students run a series of simulations varying allele frequency and population size and then analyze their data and propose a model to explain their results.

Monohybrid Fruit Fly Crosses: A Simulation part of Teaching Methods:Teaching with Data:Examples
This assignment uses a computer simulation of fruit fly genetics to have students design and interpret monohybrid crosses of a trait with simple dominant and recessive alleles. Detailed instructions with animated examples, background material, a sample report and a rubric are included.
