It may be particularly useful as a supplement to the study of Arizona as a state or as a supplement to a physical-science unit about natural resources. Every effort has been made to integrate many subject areas (geography, history, science, math, literacy and art) and to help students develop specific skills (critical thinking, organizing data, predicting, mapping and graphing). The goals of this unit are to teach students: • The importance of water as a natural resource • How water relates to the state’s geography • The nature of the hydrologic water cycle • The place of water in Arizona’s history and its importance in Arizona’s economy • How water is used and transported around the state • The importance of water conservation • The importance of how water is managed Materials Included in This Unit • Lesson plans with worksheets • DVD: Arizona Water Story How to Use This Unit Prioritizing for Time: These lessons can be taught individually or as a unit. Teachers can choose any part or the entire unit, as their time and interest allow. The entire unit can range from six to 14 days of instruction. Suggested times have been given for each lesson and each activity within the lesson so you can prioritize and plan according to your schedule. Arizona State Standards Correlation: The lessons and activities included in this guide have been correlated to Arizona state standards for fourth grade* and have also been prioritized for easy reference. “Standards Taught” indicates that the activities included in the lesson are specifically designed to meet the state-required competencies addressed by that particular performance objective. Standards listed as such are also evaluated at the end of the lesson. “Standards Addressed” indicates that those standards have a connection to the lesson and can be addressed if teachers so choose. However, at the end of the lesson, students will not be evaluated based on those performance objectives. *If you are not a fourth-grade teacher and would like a copy of the correlations for your grade level, visit www.srpnet.com/education. Language and Literacy: Lessons that take a cross-curricular approach work well and engage all students in authentic learning situations. We also know that this is an essential approach for teaching English Language Learners (ELLs), a common reality in Arizona classrooms. Teachers can incorporate many language and literacy experiences into this unit of study. Examples of literacy connections you can make with your students are called out in “Literacy Links” boxes throughout the guide and have language-arts standards associated with them as well. Also, suggested language objectives and a vocabulary list accompany each lesson so teachers can integrate language instruction into the unit. Language objectives are aligned to state standards included in the Discrete Skills Inventory (DSI). There

  • Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona
    Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona Eric Menasco NPS Terry Reiners Arizona is the astrotourism capital of the United States. Its diverse landscape—from the Grand Canyon and ponderosa forests in the north to the Sonoran Desert and “sky islands” in the south—is home to more certified Dark Sky Places than any other U.S. state. In fact, no country outside the U.S. can rival Arizona’s 16 dark-sky communities and parks. Arizona helped birth the dark-sky preservation movement when, in 2001, the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) designated Flagstaff as the world’s very first Dark Sky Place for the city’s commitment to protecting its stargazing- friendly night skies. Since then, six other Arizona communities—Sedona, Big Park, Camp Verde, Thunder Mountain Pootseev Nightsky and Fountain Hills—have earned Dark Sky status from the IDA. Arizona also boasts nine Dark Sky Parks, defined by the IDA as lands with “exceptional quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural heritage, and/or public enjoyment.” The most famous of these is Grand Canyon National Park, where remarkably beautiful night skies lend draw-dropping credence to the Park Service’s reminder that “half the park is after dark Of the 16 Certified IDA International Dark Sky Communities in the US, 6 are in Arizona. These include: • Big Park/Village of Oak Creek, Arizona • Camp Verde, Arizona • Flagstaff, Arizona • Fountain Hills, Arizona • Sedona, Arizona • Thunder Mountain Pootsee Nightsky- Kaibab Paiute Reservation, Arizona Arizona Office of Tourism—Dark Skies Page 1 Facebook: @arizonatravel Instagram: @visit_arizona Twitter: @ArizonaTourism #VisitArizona Arizona is also home to 10 Certified IDA Dark Sky Parks, including: Northern Arizona: Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Offering multiple hiking trails around this former volcanic cinder cone, visitors can join rangers on tours to learn about geology, wildlife, and lava flows.

  • Those Glen Canyon Transmission Lines -- Some Facts and Figures on a Bitter Dispute
    [July 1961] THOSE GLEN CANYON TRANSMISSION LINES -- SOME FACTS AND FIGURES ON A BITTER DISPUTE A Special Report by Rep. Morris K. Udall Since I came to Congress in May, my office has been flooded with more mail on one single issue than the combined total dealing with Castro, Berlin, Aid to Education, and Foreign Aid. Many writers, it soon became apparent, did not have complete or adequate information about the issues or facts involved in this dispute. The matter has now been resolved by the House of Representatives, and it occurs to me that many Arizonans might want a background paper on the facts and issues as they appeared to me. I earnestly hope that those who have criticized my stand will be willing to take a look at the other side of the story -- for it has received little attention in the Arizona press. It is always sad to see a falling out among reputable and important Arizona industrial groups. In these past months we have witnessed a fierce struggle which has divided two important segments of the Arizona electrical industry. For many years Arizona Public Service Company (APSCO) and such public or consumer-owned utilities as City of Mesa, Salt River Valley Water Users Association, the electrical districts, REA co-ops, etc. have worked harmoniously solving the electrical needs of a growing state. Since early 1961, however, APSCO has been locked in deadly combat with the other groups. Charges and counter-charges have filled the air. The largest part of my mail has directly resulted from a very large, expensive (and most effective) public relations effort by APSCO, working in close cooperation with the Arizona Republic and Phoenix Gazette.
