Science:
Planetary
Photojournal is a photo album of the universe. See images of the
planets. Look through the Hubble telescope at nebulae far beyond our
galaxy. Watch a video of the Mars rovers, or catch up on news about
space surveillance technology. Use the solar system simulator to view
celestial bodies from various perspectives: from above or below, from
an orbiting spacecraft, or from another planet. (National Aeronautics
and Space Administration)
-
Biology:
Understanding Alcohol: Investigations into Biology and Behavior
provides simulations, videos, and lessons on the pharmacokinetics of
alcohol, the biological and behavioral effects of alcohol, youth and
alcohol, the consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism. Lessons
focus on body type and a person's response to alcohol, factors that
influence alcohol use and abuse, calculation of blood alcohol
concentrations, and more. Discover how different doses affect the
activity of mice. Experience a simulation of driving while
intoxicated. (National Institutes of Health)

Down to
Earth Guide to Global Warming: Written for ages 8 and up, The
"Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming" by Laurie David and Cambria
Gordon, is a comprehensive resource young readers can look to for
understanding the science behind why global warming happens and how we
can work together to stop it. Laurie David is a global warming
activist and producer of Academy Award winning film An Inconvenient
Truth and the HBO documentary Too Hot Not to Handle.

David M., a senior at Cleveland Heights High School, is
currently carrying out a work assessment with The Geek Squad at Best Buy. He
is currently learning the ins and outs of computer support. Thanks to low
vision aids, David is able to carry out his job responsibilities.
-
Stanley G., a senior at Euclid High, is currently
exploring careers via the HS/HT program. He attended the Youth Leadership
Summit in Columbus, OH. He is the captain of his wrestling team.

Kevin M. (junior, Orange High School), Sam Resnik
(sophomore, Cleveland Heights High), and David Mckee toured NASA on December
15, 2006. Deb Cotleur, HS/HT’s NASA liaison organized a fabulous tour of the
site. We began investigating the Pig Rigs (capsules used to run experiments
at zero gravity). Next, we visited Ballistics and got a taste of the Virtual
Reality Technologies employed by the organization. Students will return to
further investigate the science, technology, and engineering fields.
-
Alia G., a senior at Lakewood High School, got a taste of
celebrity-dom. She appeared on Channel 3 News in regards to her top notch
performance with the Lakewood High School Band. She is a top scholar that is
looking forward to attending Case Western Reserve University in the fall of
