Unit 2.1 Extension: Wave Application to Hunga Tsunami Wave Data part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
Sandra Penny, Russell Sage College; Natalie Bursztyn, University of Montana
Waves are observable all over the place, so why do they exist? Students conduct experiments to examine wave speed, then use data to analyze wave speed, distance traveled, and time elapsed for the tsunami wave ...

Unit 4.5: It's All Connected, Right? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Earth Science
Angela Daneshmand, Santiago Canyon College
How do we use data to develop weather forecasts? In this unit, a baseline for conditions that are necessary for severe weather (mid-latitude cyclones and fires) to form is established through research. Students ...

Unit 5.5: Adapting to sea level rise part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Earth Science
Mark Abolins, Middle Tennessee State University. Although more focused, Unit 5.5 draws heavily on NSF InTeGrate's "Coastal Processes, Hazards, and Society": https://serc.carleton.edu/integrate/teaching_materials/coastlines/overview.html .
Students explore the potential for sea level rise to inundate coastal areas near Houston, Texas, and they consider ways to adapt to sea level rise. Solutions include engineered measures and managed retreat (the ...

Unit 2.5: Applying what we've learned: How can a volcanic eruption or earthquake shake the whole world? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
Sandra Penny, Russell Sage College
We're over halfway through Unit 2 and the students are now equipped with a more solid understanding of energy types and transformations, waves, power, and the fact that waves move energy from one place to ...
