Readers of this journal article can learn about data sent back to Earth by NASA's Lunar Prospector spacecraft, which indicates the presence of water in the form of ice at the Moon's north and south poles. Materials presented include an estimate of how much water exists, where and in what form it might occur, and what its economic value as a resource for human exploration might be.

This
article
from
Astrobiology
Magazine
reports
on
the
discovery
of
water
in
"cold"
regions
of
space.
Using
data
from
the
European
Space
Agency's
Infrared
Space
Observatory,
astronomers
have
determined
that
water
is
abundant
in
these
cold,
or
quiescent
regions
of
space
where
there
are
no
stars,
and
that
the
majority
of
it
occurs
as
ice
with
a
small
amount
of
water
vapor.
It
is
thought
that
these

This

article
discusses
how
exposing
creeks,
rivers,
and
stormwater
drainage
to
daylight
can
improve
water
quality
and
hydraulic
capacity.
Daylighting
projects
deliberately
expose
some
or
all
of
the
flow
of
a
previously

drainage,
offering
the
potential
to
recreate
wetlands,

and
ultimately
reducing
the

of
organic
and

pollutants
in

In this lesson, students define and classify the various ways in which numbers are used in forecasting and coping with the effects of a hurricane. This is followed up with an opportunity for research to compare and contrast these numbers as they apply to Hurricane Floyd and other recent hurricanes. There are also directions on how students can graph their findings.
