Use these to start to I can take note of develop ideas about possible themes for the book you are my characters reading. traits, struggles and triumphs to determine a theme. Finding Theme Theme is a lesson that can be learned from a text. You may have learned that some common themes are love, family, and friendship, but these are not true themes; these are just topics. These are important and they helped us get to the theme but they are not in themselves themes. The first step to finding a theme is to finish reading a text. As an example let's take a look at a Disney movie we're all familiar with Frozen. The second step is to create a list of topics. What are some ideas for topics that appear in Frozen? ● Olaf's willing to melt Ana. (Friendship) ● Ana and Elsa stick together. (Family) ● Ana fights through the forest to find Elsa. (Courage) ● Hans is trying to take over. (Power) ● Elsa doesn't share that she had ice powers. (Secrets, be yourself) ● Kristoff goes back to help Anna (Love) Once you have a list of topics the third step is to pick a topic and write a sentence about what the author believes about that topic. Let's take friendship because it's all over the place and frozen. The author believes what about friendship? The author believes that true friends will help each other when they're 1 DAY 1 (5/11) in need. Notice how this is not specific to the text; there are no character names. This should be something you can apply to your own life. The fourth step is to cross out the author believes that and rewrite the sentence true friends will help each other when they're in need. Congratulations you just came up with a theme and you used these four steps: Step 1: Finish reading a text Step 2: Create a list of topics Step 3: Pick a topic and write a sentence about what the author believes about the topic ​ Step 4: Cross out the author believes that and rewrite your sentence 2 DAY 1 (5/11) Math I can identify factors and multiples Equations and between 1 and 100.

Landforms: Caves By Sonya Olson Transcript: Chapter 1: Underground Wonders Hundreds of stalactites hang from the ceiling. They look like icicles. But they are solid rock. Water drips from stalactites. It falls into a shallow pool. Each drop makes a spooky echo in the cave. A cave is an empty space in the ground. Many caves are dark and cold. They can also be long and deep. Most caves take thousands of years to form. And once they are formed, most caves are always changing. FUN FACT: The world’s deepest known cave is the Krubera Cave. It is in the country of Georgia. It is more than 7,200 (2,195 m) deep. Chapter 2: Wearing Down The Earth There are several types of caves. Solution caves are common. When this kind forms, groundwater flows through the cracks in rock. The water slowly dissolves the rock. Over time, an empty space forms. Lava caves form after a volcano erupts. Lava burns a path into the ground. The lava on top cools and hardens. But the lava below stays hot. This hot lava keeps moving down the side of the volcano. It leaves behind a hollow space under the hard lava. This process forms a tunnel-like cave. FUN FACT: Washington has many lava caves. Ape Cave is in Washington. It is approximately 2.4 miles (3.9 km) long. Waves can make sea caves. They form as waves crash against a cliff. This happens over and over. The waves erode the cliff over time. After many years, a cave is formed. In cold places, caves can form in thick ice. When seasons change, the weather becomes warmer. Some of the ice melts. A hole forms in the melting ice. As more ice melts, the hole gets bigger. Over time, a cave forms. This is called a glacier cave. FUN FACT: The world’s longest cave system is in Kentucky. The Mammoth Cave System stretches more than 345 miles (555 km). Chapter 3: Always Changing Caves change over time. They become larger as more rock erodes. Many caves stay damp all the time. In these caves, minerals from the water stick to the rock. They keep the thin ceiling strong. If a cave gets too dry, the ceiling can fall down. This creates a big hole that is open to the outside air. More light gets in. This changes what plants are able to grow in the cave. It also changes what animals can live in the cave. 6 DAY 1 (5/11) Many caves are made out of rock. They may seem very strong. But they are fragile. Humans sometimes cause harmful changes in these caves. For example, touching stalactite can affect how it grows. Humans have germs and oil on their hands. These things can damage the rock. The germs can also make animals sick. Pollution and climate change put cave creatures in danger, too. The plants and animals that live in caves need the temperature to stay the same. They can be harmed if it changes. That’s why it is important for people to protect. FUN FACT: Some people explore caves for fun. This activity is called spelunking. LANDFORMS OF THE WORLD: Son Doong Cave Son Doong Cave is the largest known cave passage in the world. It is in the jungles of Vietnam. The cave was found in 1991. Son Doong Cave is more than 5.5 miles (8.9 km) long. Some parts of the cave have large openings in the ceiling. These openings can reach heights of 400 feet (122 m). In one area, the cave roof fell apart. This change allowed light to get in. Over time, this part of the cave became a jungle. Plants and trees grew underground. The trees grew to be nearly 100 feet (30 m) tall. Chapter 4: Life Underground Caves support many kinds of life. But each part of the cave is home to different plants and animals. There are three main parts of a cave. The light zone is the beginning of the cave. It gets the most light. Many ferns grow here. Raccoons and bears use it for shelter. Next is the twilight zone. It is darker and cooler. Moss grows here. Salamanders eat insects that live on the cave walls. Bats also sleep in the twilight zone. Bats use echolocation. It helps them fly through the dark cave. Bats make high-pitched sounds. These sounds bounce off the hard cave walls. The sounds come back to the bat’s ears. The reflected sounds tell the bats how close they are to objects. FUN FACT: Bats are important to other living things in caves. Their waste is food for spiders and insects. It also helps moss and fungi grow. The last part of the cave is the dark zone. There is no light. No plants are able to grow. But spiders, shrimp, fish, snails, and worms all live here. These animals are blind. They use their hearing feelers to move around. FUN FACT: Bacteria found nowhere else on Earth can live in caves. Some look like jelly. Others look like fluffy white balls. 7 DAY 1 (5/11) Music Music Activities for 4th and 5th Grade 3 Columns of new activities have been added at the bottom.

  • Karst Features — Where and What Are They?
    Karst Features — Where and What are They? This story was made with Esri's Story Map Journal. Read the interactive version on the web at https://arcg.is/jCmza. Iowa Geological and Water Survey Bureau completed a detailed mapping project of bedrock geologic units, key subsurface horizons, and surficial karst features in the Iowa portion of the Upper Iowa River Watershed in 2011. In the report, they note that “One of the primary goals of the study was to gain more thorough understanding of relationships between bedrock geology and karst features within the watershed.” Black River Falls photo courtesy of Larry Reis. Sinkholes Esri, HERE, Garmin, FAO, USGS, NGA, EPA, NPS According to the GIS data from the Iowa DNR, the UIR Watershed has 6,649 known sinkholes in the Iowa portion of the watershed. Although this number is very precise, sinkhole development is actually an active process in the UIR Watershed so the actual number of sinkholes changes over time as some are filled in through natural or human processes and others are formed. One of the most numerous karst features found in the UIR Watershed, sinkholes are formed when specific types of underlying bedrock are gradually dissolved, creating voids in the subsurface. When soils and other materials above these voids can no longer bridge the gap created in the bedrock, a collapse occurs. Photo Courtesy of USGS Sinkholes vary in size and shape and can and do occur in any type of land use in the UIR Watershed, from row crop to forest, and even in roads. According to the Iowa Geologic Survey, sinkholes are often connected to underground bedrock fractures and conduits, from minor fissures to enlarged caverns, which allow for rapid movement of water from sinkholes vertically and laterally through the subsurface.

  • Pleistocene Panthera Leo Spelaea
    Quaternaire, 22, (2), 2011, p. 105-127 PLEISTOCENE PANTHERA LEO SPELAEA (GOLDFUSS 1810) REMAINS FROM THE BALVE CAVE (NW GERMANY) – A CAVE BEAR, HYENA DEN AND MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC HUMAN CAVE – AND REVIEW OF THE SAUERLAND KARST LION CAVE SITES n Cajus G. DIEDRICH 1 ABSTRACT Pleistocene remains of Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss 1810) from Balve Cave (Sauerland Karst, NW-Germany), one of the most famous Middle Palaeolithic Neandertalian cave sites in Europe, and also a hyena and cave bear den, belong to the most im- portant felid sites of the Sauerland Karst. The stratigraphy, macrofaunal assemblages and Palaeolithic stone artefacts range from the final Saalian (late Middle Pleistocene, Acheulean) over the Middle Palaeolithic (Micoquian/Mousterian), and to the final Palaeolithic (Magdalénien) of the Weichselian (Upper Pleistocene). Most lion bones from Balve Cave can be identified as early to middle Upper Pleistocene in age. From this cave, a relatively large amount of hyena remains, and many chewed, and punctured herbivorous and carnivorous bones, especially those of woolly rhinoceros, indicate periodic den use of Crocuta crocuta spelaea. In addition to those of the Balve Cave, nearly all lion remains in the Sauerland Karst caves were found in hyena den bone assemblages, except those described here material from the Keppler Cave cave bear den. Late Pleistocene spotted hyenas imported most probably Panthera leo spelaea body parts, or scavenged on lion carcasses in caves, a suggestion which is supported by comparisons with other cave sites in the Sauerland Karst. The complex taphonomic situation of lion remains in hyena den bone assemblages and cave bear dens seem to have resulted from antagonistic hyena-lion conflicts and cave bear hunting by lions in caves, in which all cases lions may sometimes have been killed and finally consumed by hyenas.

  • Late Pleistocene Panthera Leo Spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) Skeletons
    Late Pleistocene Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) skeletons from the Czech Republic (central Europe); their pathological cranial features and injuries resulting from intraspecific fights, conflicts with hyenas, and attacks on cave bears CAJUS G. DIEDRICH The world’s first mounted “skeletons” of the Late Pleistocene Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) from the Sloup Cave hyena and cave bear den in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic, central Europe) are compilations that have used bones from several different individuals. These skeletons are described and compared with the most complete known skeleton in Europe from a single individual, a lioness skeleton from the hyena den site at the Srbsko Chlum-Komín Cave in the Bohemian Karst (Czech Republic). Pathological features such as rib fractures and brain-case damage in these specimens, and also in other skulls from the Zoolithen Cave (Germany) that were used for comparison, are indicative of intraspecific fights, fights with Ice Age spotted hyenas, and possibly also of fights with cave bears. In contrast, other skulls from the Perick and Zoolithen caves in Germany and the Urșilor Cave in Romania exhibit post mortem damage in the form of bites and fractures probably caused either by hyena scavenging or by lion cannibalism. In the Srbsko Chlum-Komín Cave a young and brain-damaged lioness appears to have died (or possibly been killed by hyenas) within the hyena prey-storage den. In the cave bear dominated bone-rich Sloup and Zoolithen caves of central Europe it appears that lions may have actively hunted cave bears, mainly during their hibernation. Bears may have occasionally injured or even killed predating lions, but in contrast to hyenas, the bears were herbivorous and so did not feed on the lion car- casses.

  • I Subsurface Waste Disposal by Means of Wells a Selective Annotated Bibliography
    I Subsurface Waste Disposal By Means of Wells A Selective Annotated Bibliography By DONALD R. RIMA, EDITH B. CHASE, and BEVERLY M. MYERS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WATER-SUPPLY PAPER 2020 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON: 1971 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR ROGERS G. B. MORTON, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY W. A. Radlinski, Acting Director Library of Congress catalog-card No. 77-179486 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 - Price $1.50 (paper cover) Stock Number 2401-1229 FOREWORD Subsurface waste disposal or injection is looked upon by many waste managers as an economically attractive alternative to providing the sometimes costly surface treatment that would otherwise be required by modern pollution-control law. The impetus for subsurface injection is the apparent success of the petroleum industry over the past several decades in the use of injection wells to dispose of large quantities of oil-field brines. This experience coupled with the oversimplification and glowing generalities with which the injection capabilities of the subsurface have been described in the technical and commercial literature have led to a growing acceptance of deep wells as a means of "getting rid of" the ever-increasing quantities of wastes. As the volume and diversity of wastes entering the subsurface continues to grow, the risk of serious damage to the environment is certain to increase. Admittedly, injecting liquid wastes deep beneath the land surface is a potential means for alleviating some forms of surface pollution. But in view of the wide range in the character and concentrations of wastes from our industrialized society and the equally diverse geologic and hydrologic con­ ditions to be found in the subsurface, injection cannot be accepted as a universal panacea to resolve all variants of the waste-disposal problem.

  • Pleistocene Cave Hyenas in the Iberian Peninsula: New Insights from Los Aprendices Cave (Moncayo, Zaragoza)
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Pleistocene cave hyenas in the Iberian Peninsula: New insights from Los Aprendices cave (Moncayo, Zaragoza) Víctor Sauqué, Raquel Rabal-Garcés, Joan Madurell-Malaperia, Mario Gisbert, Samuel Zamora, Trinidad de Torres, José Eugenio Ortiz, and Gloria Cuenca-Bescós ABSTRACT A new Pleistocene paleontological site, Los Aprendices, located in the northwest- ern part of the Iberian Peninsula in the area of the Moncayo (Zaragoza) is presented. The layer with fossil remains has been dated by amino acid racemization to 143.8 ± 38.9 ka (earliest Late Pleistocene or latest Middle Pleistocene). Five mammal species have been identified in the assemblage: Crocuta spelaea (Goldfuss, 1823) Capra pyre- naica (Schinz, 1838), Lagomorpha indet, Arvicolidae indet and Galemys pyrenaicus (Geoffroy, 1811). The remains of C. spelaea represent a mostly complete skeleton in anatomical semi-connection. The hyena specimen represents the most complete skel- eton ever recovered in Iberia and one of the most complete remains in Europe. It has been compared anatomically and biometrically with both European cave hyenas and extant spotted hyenas. In addition, a taphonomic study has been carried out in order to understand the origin and preservation of these exceptional remains. The results sug- gest rapid burial with few scavenging modifications putatively produced by a medium sized carnivore. A review of the Pleistocene Iberian record of Crocuta spp. has been carried out, enabling us to establish one of the earliest records of C. spelaea in the recently discovered Los Aprendices cave, and also showing that the most extensive geographical distribution of this species occurred during the Late Pleistocene (MIS4- 2).
