This simulation allows students to investigate the conservation of angular momentum. Students can change the angle of the skater's arms and observe the effect on speed of rotation.
This is an activity about measurement. Learners will label key points and features on a rectangular equal-area map and measure the distance between pairs of points in order to calculate the actual physical distance on the Sun that the point pairs represent. This is Activity 5 of the Space Weather Forecast curriculum.
This activity displays a stem and leaf plot representing data either entered by the user or generated by the computer. The user can use the applet as a tool that creates a stem and leaf plot from data the user inputs, or to practice calculating the mean, median, and mode of a given data set.

This exhibit highlights a selection of advertisements from Wisconsin city directories published between 1857 and 1930. City directories are commercially-published compilations of the names, addresses, and professions of people in a particular town or city. The earliest formal city directories published in the United States document major urban areas on the East Coast and date to the 1780s. In Wisconsin, the earliest city directories date to the 1850s; by the 1920s, at least one directory was published for most of the large and mid-sized cities in the state.

The "Student loan debt calculator" applies two simple principles to paying off high-interest debt. 1. Consolidate the existing student loans 2. Use the extra cash every month to pay off other higher interest debt sooner. We apply the amount of payment savings you choose to the nonstudent loan debt with the highest rate. When that balance is paid in full, the balance with the next highest rate will be paid down. This continues until you have rolled through all of the balances and the non-student loan debt is paid in full. Click the "View Report" button for a detailed look at the results.

"I believe that the creation of an independent constitutional court, with the authority to declare unconstitutional laws passed by the state or federal legislatures, is probably the most significant single contribution the United States has made to the art of government."
— Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s remarks at the rededication of the National Archives (September 17, 2003).
"The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this constitution…"
— Article III of The United States Constitution
The federal judiciary, which includes the Supreme Court as well as the district and circuit courts, is one of three branches of the federal government. The judiciary has played a key role in American history and remains a powerful voice in resolving contemporary controversies. The first governing document of this nation, the Articles of Confederation, gave Congress certain judicial powers, but did not establish a distinct federal court system. During the Philadelphia Convention, discussion of a federal judiciary was not a critical part of the deliberations that led to the creation of the Constitution. However, debate over the exact nature and role of the federal judiciary did begin in the Constitutional Convention and continue through the ratification process and into the early years of the Republic.
This lesson provides an introduction to the Supreme Court. Students will learn basic facts about the Supreme Court by examining the United States Constitution and one of the landmark cases decided by that court. The lesson is designed to help students understand how the Supreme Court operates.
