UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER
FOR REFUGEES: AGAINST ALL ODDS
___________________________________________________
There are refugees in virtually every country around the world
and we hear about their plight on a daily basis through the media. People become refugees when one or more of their fundamental human rights are threatened or violated, and they are forced to
flee. Nobody chooses to become a refugee.
Link: www.unhcr.ca
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
has created an online simulation that allows students to
experience the obstacles, terror and choices people are compelled
to make when they are forced to leave their homes against their
will. Have students play the game. It is an excellent learning and teaching tool for your classroom.

TRIUMF'S PHYSICS IN ACTION

electrostatics, magnetism, potential and kinetic energy, and circular motion. Six lessons cover topics ranging from how ions are accelerated using electrostatic fields, so how the principles of electrostatics, magnetism,
and circular motion can ba used to separate exotic isotopes of different mass. See http://www.triumf.info/physicsinaction

classroom global!
