In
this
activity,
students
explore
the
influences
of
different
parameters
on
the
environmental
quality
of
a
river
system.
They
will
run
a
computer
model
of
a
river
system,
interpret
graphs,
and
adjust
model
parameters
such
as
wind
speed,
sewage
load,
and
other
variables
to
determine
their
effects
on
water
quality.
For
teachers,
there
are
additional
background
materials,
teaching
tips,

This
site
covers
many
of
the
components
of
cloud
formation
and
cloud
types.
Although
written
for
the
high
school
level,
the
middle
school
student
could
grasp
most
of
the
concepts
with
the
assistance
from
the
teacher.
Specific
concepts
covered
include
the
importance
of
and
mechanisms
that
produce
rising
air,
cloud
types,
and
ptyes
of
precipitation.
There
are

This
project
gives
students
the
opportunity
to
appreciate
how
difficult
it
is
to
predict
the
weather
when
making
forecasts.
By
accessing
an
assortment
of
images
and
data,
the
students
will
be
asked
to
forecast
on
a
regular
basis
and
determine
the
accuracy
of
the
forecasts
by
comparing
them
with
the
actual
observed
data.
Students
will
also
complete
specially
constructed
activities
that
introduce

In
this
computer-based
exercise,
students
analyze
realistically
simulated
X-ray
spectra
of
a
supernova
remnant
and
determine
the
abundances
of
various
elements
in
them.
In
the
end,
they
will
find
that
the
elements
necessary
for
life
on
Earth
--
the
iron
in
their
blood,
the
calcium
in
their
bones
--
are
created
in
