Named after the Otzal Alps where he was found in 1991, which is on the border of Austria and Italy. Also known as “Frozen Fritz” or Similaun Man.…
Experiencing grief is like jumping into freezing, ice cold water. Grieving is a strong, overwhelming feeling that is completely resistless; it is a universal state and a powerful personal experience. In the same way, jumping into ice cold water is overpowering as the iciness of the water hits hard. Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the ending of a serious relationship, or even a job loss, grief causes a never-ending, emotional pain to an individual that cannot be controlled. The everlasting pain is also experienced when jumping into freezing water. The harsh and severe impact of the freezing water sends disturbing thrills to one's body. Once immersed and engulfed in the icy cold water, it feels as if you are trapped and helpless;…
Blood, sweat, and tears, you may thinking I’m talking about a past military event, but I’m actually talking about the pride and dedication that goes into each ice sculpting masterpiece. Growing up the cold state of Michigan, the annual ice sculpting completion in Frankenmuth Michigan was never a disappointment. It was something that our family looked forward to and always brought our family together. It is truly amazing that amount of effort and attention to detail that goes into each piece of work. Having seen first had the works of art being created it is truly a site to see. The History, the different uses for ice sculpters, and the way ice scuptures are created are things that are often overlooked.…
-The lesson plan is current and up to date. The crisis of the Chesapeake Bay is something that scientist are currently exploring. Example: students conducted a research project to find out what is happening with the blue crab shortage.…
There once was a young couple that lived in the coldest part of Yakutat, Alaska. No older than thirty; they…
For example: Application of engineering principles. Possible solutions. Links to codes, standards and specifications. Produce drawings.…
Countries with Infant Industries protectionist policies tend to suffer lower growth and less integration into the world economy than countries that compete without a lot of protectionism. The use of protectionist policies to fix a market problem is at best highly inefficient at worst economically disastrous. This economic isolationism is very difficult to overcome and industries developed under it can never compete freely in the international market.…
I bleived this article is very informative for any teacher. It talks about different techniques on how to teach your students information and emphasizes the importance of interaction between the student and the task at hand. The article gives examples of art projects to go along with the science topic of Antarctica and puts them in grade appropriate categories. A blog was also made for the students to correspond with the educator that actually went and visited Antarctica. I thought this was a great idea and can be used to even interact with another school in Antarctica to exchange the different lifestyles. The article also gives great ideas on how to continue the education and different ways to teach and learn.…
After doing the Baby Project, I’ve definitely understand how big of a responsibility having a child is like. I also want to thank my parents for being extremely responsible and caring for me. It has been difficult trying to hold my books and my iPad, having my backpack on, and also carrying the baby at the same time. During classes I also had to make room on my desk or put things elsewhere so I can put the baby somewhere safe. I also had to wash the baby clothes because it gets dirty really easily. It’s definitely been a wild experience.…
During my early years in Muskoka I was always encouraged to take a strong interest in the sciences, arts, and the natural world. I not only learned about my environment from living on the “land” but I also spent a substantial part of my life living on a boat on the “water”. Living aboard and sailing on the water, I found, was actually one of the best classrooms I could have experienced. It truly teaches one to see and view all your everyday experiences from a whole different perspective. It taught me the value of being completely self-sufficient, and required me to rely on my own decision making abilities. It also taught me to live with total respect for the living environment and wildlife around me on both a local and global level. I have learned how fragile and threatened our environment has become. I came to realize that our lives are connected, in every way, to all the elements that make up our planet.…

An Inconvenient Truth is rich with pictures and computer graphics indicating the effects of rising temperatures. None are more effective then the images of the Larson B ice shelf in the Antarctic Peninsula. From January 31, 2002 to March 5, 2002 about 3,250 km2 of the ice shelf’s area broke apart. (NSIDC 2002) Meaning a massive 720 billion tons of ice, larger then the state of Road Island, disappeared in just…
Goal: To encourage youth to engage in interactive learning on Global Warming & Climate Change which may be translated into education outreach in their specific communities and/or organizations.…
It started with the presentation of the basic process of global warming which is the greenhouse gases are trapping the sun’s heat in the earth’s atmosphere which makes the earth warm. The greenhouse gases are caused by producing too much Carbon Dioxide. I was really shocked when he started showing the comparison of the old and new photographs of the same places, the difference is really obvious. I can see that it is still that place but the changes are really shocking. The glaciers are starting to melt and melting fast. The next slides were the chart presentations of how the production of Carbon Dioxide is getting higher, how the Earth’s temperature is getting warmer and how glaciers are melting faster that it is some…
For this reason, there is a need to empower children and youth in understanding climate change and its impacts, and appreciating their key roles in addressing the climate challenge. Their capability to influence and shape policies and programs of the government should be recognized. However, in order to better equip the sector with climate change knowledge and skills, mentors and educators should also be involved and capacitated.…
