for
a
variety
of
locations
across
Canada

from
a
drop-down
menu
or
enter
latitude
and
longitude
values
(works
for
any
location),

In this activity, students construct a scale model of the solar system using a tape measure or a very long roll of paper. A calculation tool is provided to determine the correct scaled distances and planet sizes. A brief discussion of the concept of the vast distances of space is included, along with links to other solar system resources.

Obesity
is
on
the
rise
in
the
United
States,
due
primarily
to
the
size
and
composition
of
the
American
diet.
Discussion
topics
include
lack
of
exercise,
changes
in
calorie
intake
over
time,
and
environmental
impacts
of
these
increases
in
consumption.
Each
student
will
particpate
in
an
activity
in
which
they
investigate
how
their
own

The
Daisy
World
model
is
intended
to
illustrate
a
mechanism
through
which
biota
might
optimize
their
environment
by
means
of
negative
feedback.
The
model
offers
a
very
simplified
approach
to
a
feedback
system
and
can
provide
an
introductory
lesson
in
how
models
work.
The
aim
of
the
model
is
to
implement
and
test
a
mathematical
model
describing
possible
influence
of
biota
on
an
abiotic
