This
activity
introduces
students
to
the
properties
of
electromagnetic
radiation
in
a
variety
of
ways.
For
example,
they
put
the
different
types
of
the
electromagnetic
radiation
on
trial,
selecting
the
judge,
prosecutor,
defense
counsel,
and
jury,
and
learning
about
electromagnetic
energy
by
arguing
the
pros
and
cons
of
each
wavelength.
During
this
activity,
students
are
introduced
to
the

This
study
describes
the
effect
of
drought
on
past
civilizations
and
peoples
and
their
response
as
civilizations
or
cultures.
The
site
includes
four
case
studies
drawn
from
New
and
Old
World
civilizations
that
document
societal
responses
to
prolonged
drought,
including
population
dislocations,
urban
abandonment,
and
state
collapse.
Further

of
past
cultural
adaptations
to

In
this
laboratory
activity
students
will
gain
an
understanding
of
the
National
Environmental
Policy
Act
(NEPA)
and
be
able
to
apply
it
to
a
(perhaps
hypothetical)
community
project.
In
the
process,
they
will
learn
the
methods
of
investigating
an
environmental
history
and
integrate
this
pursuit
with
sciences
of
ecology
and
geology
along
with
environmental
land
use
policy.

This
report
is
an
attempt
to
describe
what
is
known
about
abrupt
climate
changes
and
their
impacts,
based
on
paleoclimate
proxies,
historical
observations,
and
modeling.
Large,
abrupt
climate
changes
have
repeatedly
affected
much
or
all
of
the
earth,
locally
reaching
as
much
as
10
Celsius
degrees
change
in
10
years.
Available
evidence
suggests
that
abrupt
climate
changes
are
not
only
possible
but

This
computer
activity
provides
information
that
will
allow
students
to
extend
their
understanding
of
basic
physical
concepts
that
apply
to
the
study
of
black
holes.
They
will
see
how
physics
and
mathematics
are
used
to
predict
the
existence
and
properties
of
invisible
objects.
The
assessment
component
is
designed
to
provide

In
this
article,
The
Why
Files
examines
Charles
Darwin,
his
theory
of
evolution,
and
his
visit
to
the
Galapagos
Islands
of
Ecuador.
The
article
explains
what
Darwin
really
found,
and
how
other
scientists
helped
him
develop
his
theory
of
evolution.
It
discusses
the
many
mistakes
Darwin
made
in
his
observations
and
methods
of
investigation,
as
well
as
how
Darwin's
finches
are
not
as
important

This
lesson
plan
presents
an
introduction
to
the
apparent
motion
of
the
Sun
across
the
sky
and
the
way
it
changes
in
summer
and
winter.
The
goals
of
the
lesson
are
to
recognize
the
daily
motion
of
the
Sun
across
the
sky,
defining
the
main
directions
of
east,
west,
south
and
north.
The
student
will
also
recognize
that
the
locations
of
sunrise
and
sunset
(for
viewers
north
of
the
equator)
migrate
southward
