This interactive tool helps students grasp the difficult task of locating deep sea vents by allowing them to virtually "survey" a portion of the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the Pacific Ocean. Students begin by using a CTD (Conductivity - Temperature - Depth) package to take a number of initial water-temperature readings. They then focus on a 40-kilometer (24.8-mile) path, taking up to 55 temperature readings ... Full description.

This activity uses logarithmic plotting to show the power of a straight line in mathematics, science, and engineering. Students will use the slopes of various curves plotted on log-log graph paper to classify stellar objects as binary stars, supernovae, or active galaxies. The data used in this lesson were obtained from X-ray astronomy satellites. It provides an opportunity for students to apply the ... Full description.

This applet uses graphs to demonstrate the effective temperature of planets. The graphs display temperature versus distance from the sun. The albedo, solar constant, and distance can be adjusted. There are marks at each of the locations of the solar system planets. The axes can be in linear or logarithmic form; the temperature can be displayed in Kelvin, Fahrenheit, or Celsius.
