  • A Storm Is Coming! Lessons in Hurricane Preparedness
    A Storm is Coming! Lessons in Hurricane Preparedness Georgia Redonet Long Middle School INTRODUCTION The busy 2004 hurricane season, with fifteen Atlantic storms certainly served to remind us that we should learn the essentials of hurricane preparedness. I find that a study of hurricanes and their effect on our state’s coastal areas provides an exciting and interesting start to the school year in my seventh grade Texas History classes. We study the causes and effects of the storms and how to prepare for emergency situations. While this unit will focus only on hurricane preparedness, in the classroom we will first study the formation and structure of hurricanes and round out our studies by investigating the Great Galveston Storm of 1900. I would suggest that those teachers living in coastal areas choose a storm from their own locale. When there was the possibility that our area might be struck by an approaching storm, as was the case with Ivan in September 2004, the energy level in my classroom was electrifying. Students eagerly watched the news and weather and were going to the school computer lab to check out weather web sites. On May 24, 2005, the American Red Cross reported that they had found many Americans in coastal regions who were not prepared for the coming hurricane season that lasts from June 1 to November 30: Waiting until the last minute to prepare for a hurricane, or assuming that a major storm will not hit your community is a mistake, said Joe Becker, Senior Vice President, Preparedness and Response for the American Red Cross.

  • Creating Educational Media for Students in the United Kingdom
    CREATING EDUCATIONAL MEDIA FOR STUDENTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By _____________________________ Nicholas Baker _____________________________ Allyson Barford _____________________________ Seth Borg ___________________________ Elizabeth Heneberry Date: March 1, 2002 Approved: _____________________________________ Professor Gregory Theyel, Major Advisor _____________________________________ Professor Stephen Matson, Major Advisor Authorship We, the Science Year IQP team submit that this report and our project work reflects a collaborative team effort from all four group members. 1. Abstract The WPI Science Year IQP intends to contribute to efforts to revitalise interest in science among students ages ten to nineteen by capturing their attention and interest with interactive web-based computer games focusing on the popular themes of sports and inventions. In developing these games, the project team researched student interest in science and web- based games, the UK national curriculum, and educational game design and production. Final deliverables include comprehensive game design documents, detailed storyboards, and two Flash-based Internet games. 2. Executive Summary Educators and industry representatives in the United Kingdom have expressed concern about the decline of interest in scientific study among children and young adults between 10 and 19 years of age. Resources and initiatives are needed for making science provocative and exciting to today’s youth. Science Year is a UK government-based initiative that seeks to spawn interest in this target age group through various educational resources such as web-based games, nationwide projects, and CD-ROMs for use in the classroom.

  • Cub Scout Unit Guide for STEM Nova Activities
    Cub Scout Unit Guide for STEM Nova Activities Cub Scout Unit Guide for STEM Nova Activities INTRODUCTION STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM has been part of Scouting since its very beginnings—building a fire, identifying plants and animals, orienting a map, and using a compass are all STEM activities. The Nova Awards program was developed to highlight the STEM inherent in the Scouting program and to expose youth to additional STEM opportunities. STEM activities are fun and exciting for youth, and also activities that are pertinent to our lives and that parents desire for their children. To remain competitive in the world economy, the United States must cultivate the next generation of critical thinkers and innovators. Experts say that our young people need STEM-related skills to compete in the world of tomorrow, where most jobs will require at least a basic understanding of math and science. Cool experiments, awesome field trips, and fun activities are just part of the full STEM experience for interested Scouts and leaders. There are different Nova awards for each of the STEM areas. Scouts can earn as many as they would like. Completion of a Nova award earns the Scout the right to wear the Nova award patch. Completion of each additional Nova award is recognized by a pi pin placed on the patch. Each of these awards builds on STEM-related activities, including completing appropriate adventures, participating in hands-on activities, and, often, going on a field trip. As additional Nova awards are developed, their requirements will be posted at www.scouting.org/stem.

The cable is part of an advanced monitoring and alert system that could provide warning should a destructive earthquake occur close to Japan. Undersea earthquakes are particularly dangerous because they can start tsunami, or tidal waves -- destructive waves that possess much more energy that normal waves. Japan has been hit by killer tsunami waves in the past but the most famous series of tsunami waves are those that occurred in December 2004 following an earthquake off Indonesia. More than 225,000 people are estimated to have been killed in their wake. The new fiber cable extends 220 kilometers off the south coast of Japan near Shizuoka prefecture -- an area that has long been viewed by seismologists as having a significant chance of a major earthquake.

For four years, Devshree (Sony) Rane of Solon, Oh., has put her Rosemary Capo principles into practice. The senior Environmental Studies/Business double-major worked with several Associate Professor campus groups—including Free the Planet and the Student Government Board’s environmental committee—and now serves as the first-ever sustainability student-employee in Pitt’s Department of Mark Collins Housing and Food Services, under the direction of Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business, James Earle. Lecturer Emily Elliott Since her selection for the new, part-time position in Fall 2009, Ms. Rane has helped spearhead Assistant Professor a variety of projects, including Recyclemania, a national collegiate recycling competition. To encourage recycling, Ms. Rane placed more than 200 recycling receptacles around William Harbert campus. At the end of the competition, the receptacles were repurposed and/or recycled. Associate Professor Charles Jones Pitt’s goal was ambitious: 15 pounds of recyclables for every faculty, staff Lecturer and student at the University. The effort Michael Ramsey came tantalizingly close—14.94 pounds, Associate Professor just short of their goal by a couple of empty Diet Coke cans, give or take.
