Fireworks Curriculum Featuring Ponderosa, Lodgepole, and Whitebark Pine Forests United States Department of Agriculture FireWorks Curriculum Forest Service Featuring Ponderosa, Lodgepole, and Rocky Mountain Whitebark Pine Forests Research Station Fort Collins, CO General Technical Report RMRS- Jane Kapler Smith and GTR-65 Nancy E. McMurray September 2000 Revised Dec. 2002 Abstract Smith, Jane Kapler; McMurray, Nancy E. 2000. FireWorks curriculum featuring ponderosa, lodgepole, and whitebark pine forests. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-65. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 270 p. FireWorks is an educational program for students in grades 1-10. The program consists of the curriculum in this report and a trunk of laboratory materials, specimens, and reference materials. It provides interactive, hands-on activities for studying fire ecology, fire behavior, and the influences of people on three fire-dependent forest types—Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine), Pinus contorta var. latifolia (interior lodgepole pine), and Pinus albicaulis (whitebark pine). Wildland fire provides a rich context for education because it promotes understanding and integration of numerous concepts: properties of matter, ecosystem fluctuations and cycles, plant and animal habitat and survival, and human interactions with ecosystems. The curriculum links each activity to national and local educational standards; research has shown it increases student understanding of wildland fire. FireWorks is most appropriate for students in locations where the three featured tree species occur, and it may serve as a prototype for wildland fire education in other geographic areas. Keywords: fire ecology, fire behavior, education, habitat, lodgepole pine, management, ponderosa pine, succession, whitebark pine, wildlife This curriculum is on-line, complete with color graphics, at http://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_gtr65.html For assistance in implementing FireWorks: The Internet site www.firelab.org lists FireWorks workshops and locations where trunks are available for loan. A CD-ROM containing the curriculum, posters, booklets, and handouts used in the FireWorks trunk is available from the authors (Jane Kapler Smith, [email protected]; Nancy E.

  • SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of an ARTIFACT from a PRESUMED EPISODE of SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION: a Possible Cllse for Biological Nuclear Reactions
    Report SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF AN ARTIFACT FROM A PRESUMED EPISODE OF SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION: A Possible CllSe for Biological Nuclear Reactions M. Sue Benford, R.N., M.A. & Larry E. Arnold ABSTRACT Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is defined as a phenomenon that causes a human body to burn without a known, identifiable ignition source external to the body. While science recognizes scores of materials that can spontaneously combust, the human body is not among them. Although numerous theories have been posited to explain SHC, very little, if any, detailed scientific analysis of an actual SHC artifact has occurred. This study was designed to scientif­ ically evaluate a known SHC artifact (Mott book jacket) and compare the findings to those of an identical book jacket (control sample). The results indicated significant visual, microscopic, atomic and molecular differences between the blackened front cover of the Mott book jacket and the unaffected back cover. The authors posit a theory for the idiopathic thermogenic event involving a biologically-induced nuclear explosion. This theory is capable of explaining most, if not all, of the scientific findings. KEYWORDS: Spontaneous combustion, biological, nuclear, reaction Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine • Volume 8 • Number 3 • Page 195 BACKGROUND pontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is defined as a phenomenon that causes a human body to blister, smoke, or burn without a known, Sidentifiable ignition source external to that body. While science recognizes scores of materials that can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, such as damp hay, linseed oil-soaked fabric, and the water-reactive metal magnesium, the human body is not among them.

  • Deposition and Diagenesis of the Mississippian Lodgepole Formation, Central Montana
    RICE UNIVERSITY DEPOSITION AND DIAGENESIS OF THE MISSISSIPPIAN LODGEPOLE FORMATION, CENTRAL MONTANA by Susan E. jenks A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Thesis Director's signature Houston, Texas May, 1972 3 1272 00197 2320 Deposition and Diagenesis of the Hississippian Lodgepole Formation, Central Montana Susan Jenks ABSTRACT The lower Mississippian Lodgepole Formation is exposed in central Montana in the anticlines which form the Big Snowy and Little Belt Mountains. Four sections averaging 130 feet in length were measured at the base of the Woodhurst Limestone, the uppermost member of the Lodge¬ pole. Three of the sections were located in the vestern end of the Big Snowy Mountains. These were composed of two major bioclastic and ooid grainstone units, and a succession of mudstones, wackestones, packstones and argillaceous dolomites and pellet grainstones and pelleted mudstones. Field, faunal, and petrographic evidence indicate these rocks were deposited in very shallow water, the grainstones in the form of carbonate sand shoals, the remaining rock types in a broad lagoon behind the shoals. One section was measured 70 miles to the west in the Little Belt moun¬ tains. Rocks here consist of crinoid grainstones and packstones, skeletal and ooid grainstones, mudstones, bryozoan packstones and wackestones, and calcareous shales. Evidence suggests these rocks formed down paleoslope from those in the Big Snowys, some of the sediments being deposited in deeper water in a normal marine shelf environment. A number of diagenetic processes affected the sediments after deposition. Morphology and distribution of cements and evidence of tim¬ ing relative to other diagenetic events indicate cementation of the carbonate sands took place in the intertidal or shallow subtidal environment soon after deposition.
