An Introduction to Composing
Composing can be an amazing and fun experience – whether you be a budding Mozart, techno freak, an emerging guitarist, or a complete novice with just a computer at hand. Young people today can express themselves through solo compositions for their own instrument, by collaborating with others in ensembles, choirs or bands, and even use their phones, computer or the recording studio as their “instrument.”
This program looks at a variety of starting points for composition through the eyes of some emerging composers and songwriters in a number of styles and genres. -

Nuclear Energy: Basic Version – Imperial
Introduces the basics of how a nuclear power station works. What is fission and the role of cooling water in nuclear reactors? Understand the nuclear fuel cycle: mining, milling, enrichment, fabrication and spent fuel (storage and reprocessing). Also discover other uses of nuclear energy, including ‘non-power’ uses. Includes sequences designed for student enrichment/ teacher background (breeder reactors, fusion and fusion reactors, and fission).
-
Nuclear Energy: Advanced Version – Imperial
In addition to covering all topics in the basic version of Nuclear Energy, this program covers a number of advanced topics. Understand the use of water to vary reactor power, as well as different methods of mining uranium and witness a specific example of a fission reaction. Students will be introduced to more detailed discussion of enrichment, including structure properties of Uranium Hexafluoride, centrifuging, gas diffusion and the decommissioning of nuclear power stations. Includes sequences designed for student enrichment and teacher background (breeder reactors, fusion and fusion reactors, fission).

Measurement and the Search for Relationships
Learn how mathematical relationships can be investigated experimentally and how to write the report. This program uses case studies to show how the physical world can be described by mathematical relationships. It specifically demonstrates how an experiment can be designed to test the effect of two independent variables and how mathematical formulae can be derived from experimental measurements. This program also outlines how to prepare a report for an experiment. Program chapters include: (intro, investigation, effect on T of mass, effect on t of oscillation amplitude, measuring spring stiffness, effect on T of spring stiffness and the search for a constant).
