The Japanese Science and Technology (JST) Center offers nine virtual science lessons that cover topics in physics, biology, psychology, geography and space science. Each virtual lesson presents a manageable chunk of information followed by activities in which students apply what they have learned. Each lesson also has multiple parts (some have more than 20 parts) and multiple activities.
One of JST’s virtual lessons is Earth Guide, an eight-part lesson about Earth’s place in the Solar System and Earth’s environment. Each of the eight parts features multiple forms of information.
Mind Lab focuses on biology and psychology. The lesson is designed to engage students in thinking about the ways in which they perceive what they see. Mind Lab has four introductory videos about the way in which we absorb information and how perceptions may not be reali ty. For example, one activity from Mind Lab helps students discover their “blind spots” and teaches them how people sometimes become oblivious to their blind spots.
Other virtual lessons include:
A New Door to the Future – The Human Genome
The Mysteries of the Body – What Is This “I”?
The Search for ET! – Are Humans Alone in the Universe?
The Search for Energy Transmission in Sports
The Physics of the Amusement Park
Look into the World of Rust
How Optical Communication Works
