to
increase
awareness
of
the
natural
role
of
energy
sources
within
the
living
organisms
of
the
environment.
Students
will
observe
the
properties
of
the
items
of
litter
being
studied,
determine
the
time
it
takes
for
them
to
decompose,

In
this
lesson
students
will
pretend
they
have
just
returned
from
a
year
in
the
Arctic
or
Antarctic.
They
will
look
at
Web
sites
about
these
regions
and
expeditions
to
them,
and
they
will
create
posters
illustrating
their
experiences.
Students

This
site
contains
four
topics
and
twenty
activities
all
related
to
maps
and
mapping.
Whether
a
map
is
of
a
classroom,
a
city,
or
a
planet,
the
same
basic
knowledge
is
required
to
understand
the
information
it
contains:
scale,
orientation,
angles,
and
measurement.
In
this
chapter,
students
practice
reading
maps,
first
of
nearby
surroundings,
then
of
their
town,
and
then
of
the
Earth
and
stars.

work
of
meteorologists
on
a
daily
basis,
and,
when
severe

approaches,
meteorologists
serve
what

perhaps
their
most
important
function
in
society.
In
this

segment,
one
student
describes
how
her
interest
in
observing
the
weather
led
her
to
volunteer
at
a
local

where
she
gains

experience
with
