Introduction to hydrologic model calibration part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
Matin Rahnamay Naeini, University of California-Irvine
In this exercise, we introduce the concept of model calibration for rainfall-runoff models. We specifically employ a synthetic precipitation data as input to the hydrologic model to generate synthetic runoff. The ...

Coriolis Effect Activity part of Teaching Activities
Laura Wetzel, Eckerd College
The Coriolis Effect is the deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame. In oceanography, we are most interested in how the Coriolis Effect moves winds and ocean currents on the ...

Ionic sizes and crystal structures (Pauling's rule #1) part of Teaching Activities
Susannah Dorfman, Michigan State University
Students derive the radius ratio rule of ionic coordination (Pauling's 1st rule) empirically using balls of different sizes followed by a mathematical derivation.

Incomprehensibly Small and Incomprehensibly Large part of Introductory Courses:Activities
Vince Cronin, Baylor University
Students are asked to consider the length scales of the universe, from smallest to largest. Using a logarithmic scale in cm units, various distances are resolved ranging from the smallest meaningful length in ...

Investigating Ordering Planets: Math Connections and Number Sense in Science part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Anne E. Flynn St. Charles Borromeo School St. Anthony Village Minnesota Based on an original activity from "Science" by Harcourt School Publishers 2006, 'What Is the Solar System?'p.353
This set of activities is designed to help students develop an understanding of scale/distance and ordering the planets from the sun, understanding Earth's position in the solar system, and developing new ways of determining "order."
