"Almost half the children committed one or more of these mistakes. They attempted with apparent seriousness to perform the same actions with the miniature items that they had with the large ones. Some sat down on the little chair: they walked up to it, turned around, bent their knees and lowered themselves onto it. Some simply perched on top, others sat down so hard that the chair skittered out from under them. Some children sat on the miniature slide and tried to ride down it, usually falling off in the process; others attempted to climb the steps, causing the slide to tip over. (With the chair and slide made of sturdy plastic and only about five inches tall, the toddlers faced no danger of hurting themselves.)"

OpenCourseWare provides,
as Wired puts it, "Every lecture [sometimes on video, sometimes only the notes], every handout, every quiz." Curious about
Psycholinguistics?
Urban Transportation, Land Use, and the Environment?
Non-linear Programming?
Cognitive & Behavioral Genetics?
String Theory for Undergraduates?
