Does your dog eat their dinner quickly? In this episode of Pet Detectives, learn about some new techniques for feeding your dog, similar to strategies we use for animals at the zoo, that might change the time your dog spends eating. Changing up the feeding routine can be a great way to improve your dog’s well-being and keep your dog engaged. Let us know which of the three techniques worked best for your dog.

This resource was created as a virtual lab demonstration to help students understand the composition of rocks in the earth's crust. It practices using a dichotomous key. The presentation is set up as a storyboard to help students understand how rocks in the earth's crust consist of only a few types of minerals. Scientists use the physical and chemical properties of rocks to identify the mineral composition in the rock, thus identifying the rock type.  I use this interactive presentation to introduce rocks and minerals. Typically it is the precursor to a lesson on the rock cycle. It is highly interactive and gives the students immediate feedback. This is very useful in the e-learning classroom environment.
