Investigation 4 - Erosion - Jul 1, 2010 Try Investigation 4 - Erosion for a hands-on simulation of erosion to learn how wind and water change the land. For more information and photographs, see this Kansas State University webpage. The Doppler Effect and Sonic Booms - Jun 16, 2010 Check out The Doppler Effect and Sonic Booms for animations of the sound source moving at various factions of the speed of sound, with related background information and lots of interesting images. For a related simulation, where you control the speed of a supersonic bug, see NASA's Interactive Sound Waves. Recent Worth A Look Featuressoapbubbledk - Jul 16, 2010 Visit the colorful and well-illustrated soapbubbledk to learn about soap bubbles and films. Sand Dunes: A Phenomenon Of Wind - Jul 1, 2010 Sand dunes are formed by wind in arid regions with a lot of sand on the surface. To learn more, see Sand Dunes: A Phenomenon Of Wind. Faster than Sound - Jun 16, 2010 Visit Nova's Faster than Sound to find out how Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in 1947 in the Bell X-1. You'll find recollection from the X-1's pilots and one of the X-1's designers, and learn about the historical background as well. In the Speed Machines section, you can find out about speed records in the air, on land, and on water. |
