Amusement Park Physics Amusement Park Physics and the new Secondary School Curriculum In the past 18 months, the educational system has seen a shift in the science curriculum and changes to how that curriculum is delivered. The current curriculum is more inquiry based with a focus on questioning, predicting, communication, planning and conducting investigations. In addition, students are asked to analyse not only the data they collect, but also the process that was used to collect the data. The curriculum for Science 8 has changed. Although forces are not directly in the current Grade 8 curriculum, inquiry and investigation are at the forefront. Amusement Park Physics can now be applied to any number of classes as they all include an inquiry / investigative component. Teachers are able to adapt or enhance the curriculum packages currently supplied by Amusement Park Physics as they see fit. This gives you, as an educator, tremendous flexibility in terms of how you and your class spend your time at Playland. You could focus on one ride and do an in-depth study or perhaps investigate similar rides and compare them.

When Copenhagen Copenhagen Zoo, Zoo was founded in 1859, its purpose was divided equally between entertainment, perceptions of nature, enlightenment and symbolizing the glory of the Danish capital. During this period animal protection though, it also became possible for the zoo to stage itself as a kinder place for animals than “real” nature. In the early 20th century, the zoo attracted attention from animal rights movements, wherefore the debates came to be structured around two radically different perceptions of nature. The article takes its outset in the arguments formulated by the three successive directors: Julius Schiøtt, Waldemar Dreyer and Theodor Alving.

  • Tivoli Gardens: a 175‐Year‐Old Gift from Denmark Tivoli Is More Than an Amusement Park, It Is a Denmark Treasure That Was Founded in 1842 by Georg Carstensen
    Tivoli Gardens: A 175‐year‐old gift from Denmark Tivoli is more than an amusement park, it is a Denmark treasure that was founded in 1842 by Georg Carstensen. He opened the gates to Tivoli on August 15, 1943. His guests were treated to elegant and exotic gardens. A man who once said that his theme park would “never finish growing”‐cphpost.dk. Carstensen had seen other gardens in other countries such as Paris, London and Vienna. He spent his early life in Algeria and wanted to bring this back to Copenhagen. It was not a peaceful time. The city was a walled fortress and people had to pass through gates that surrounded it. Poverty, lack of potable water and sanitation were evident, but Copenhagen had a bustling port that did much trading in the Baltic area and beyond‐cphpost.dk. King Christian VIII saw a pleasure garden as a positive idea, even though city leaders were not keen on the idea. Vesterport (the Western Gate) was chosen as the site and nearly 15 acres of land was granted to build outside of the city’s defensive fortifications‐cphpost.dk. Carstensen was not a wealthy man. He began to speak with business people and those who might finance his project. At one point, workers stopped because human remains were found in the area. Tivoli, as it turned out, was the site of a battle that involved British and Swedish invaders. Finally, Tivoli opened and Carstensen was there to greet each one of the 3,615 visitors on opening day‐cphpost.dk.

  • Annual REPORT 2014 2014, a Year Full of Change
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014 2014, a year full of change “Every year around the world, one hundred new museums are said to open their doors to the public. Opening a new museum is the dream of every architect, curator, collector and sponsor, rightly due to the new symbolic value tied to this matter.” These are the words used by Isabella Pezzini to delve into to the topic of new museums in her work co-authored with Umberto Eco, El museo (the museum), Casimiro, 2015, p. 47. The International Council of Museums (ICOM), which turns 70 in 2016, is pondering this central issue of the museum of tomorrow. Long viewed as bygone, even old-fashioned institutions, today museums are seeing extraordinary development. New museums are appearing around the world, remarkable for their architectural features but above all, for the universal access that they provide to culture. In 2014, ICOM and UNESCO drafted a recommendation on the protection and promotion of museums and collections, placing museums more explicitly at the heart of the exchanges that occur between peoples and societies. This is a first step in considering a new definition for third-millennium museums, as Eco highlights. 3 ICOM has also joined forces with major international institutions to support and defend countries in the throes of armed conflict, including Iraq and Syria, to fight the spread of illicit trafficking in cultural property and develop tools to confront emergency situations. ICOM supports concrete and concerted efforts: a new platform, the ICOM International Observatory on Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods, was launched in July 2014, and three Red Lists are being finalised, concerning Iraq, Libya and West Africa, including Mali.

  • Business in Zoociety Building a 5-Year Plan for Copenhagen Zoo
    Copenhagen Business School Team Executive summary Business in ZOOciety Building a 5-year plan for Copenhagen Zoo Copenhagen Zoo, you find yourself facing competition from the increasing selection of entertainment activities in your geographical region, as well as high seasonality in visitors, and a low number of foreign guests. The question you need to ask yourself, before stating a new and realistic five-year plan, is: How can you grow your annual visitor base to 1.6M by 2020, without compromising your core values and competencies, whilst retaining an 8% profit margin independently of government subsidies? We believe that you can manage this, through a strategy that can be summarized in three words, namely: Engage, Expand and Escalate Engage: We propose initiating the ZOOciety program, a program that will position you as a global frontrunner in animal research and natural preservation. This program shall be the platform and brand from which all your projects in preservation and research stem, but also a new membership concept, that will replace your current annual cards by 2016. The new structure is based on a value and content driven loyalty program, not a discount driven one. Customers become active partners in your work, and part of the membership fee goes directly to projects. This enhances the value proposition of your park, and makes it not only a recreational offering but also a flagship for sustainability and preservation. Expand: We propose that you expand your current platform for funding of your projects, into involving crowd funding and an elaborated private funding program. This will generate large amounts of funding that can replace your current dependency on government subsidies, which can then completely be faced out by 2020.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Lee Circle Before Lee Long before Lee, the circular park linking the upriver and downriver sections of New Orleans was called the Place du Tivoli. Tivoli is a name that invariably conjures up images of verdant and picturesque gardens, its origin to be found in an historic town in the Lazio region of central Italy, founded centuries before Rome. According to Cato the Elder, Catillus founded a town in the Sabine hills to the east of Rome named Tibur (the name of which evolved into Tivoli) in honor of one of his three sons, Tiburtus. The town’s name probably shares a common root with the river Tiber. Historical vestiges of settlement in the vicinity date back to the 13th century BC. Temple of Vesta, Tivoli, Italy Tivoli is home to the Villa d’Este, commissioned by the son of Lucrezia Borgia, whose Italian Renaissance gardens are the main reason for Tivoli’s renown. It was there that this author visited in his youth, sampling his first Campari, and dined that evening at the centuries-old Ristorante Sibilla. Napoleon and other notables made this idyllic restaurant a culinary destination, as well. Built in the early 1700s beside the circular Roman Temple of Vesta and the Sanctuary of the Sybil, its terrazza garden has a breathtaking view over the deep gorge of the Aniene River, with the sounds of the waterfall in the background. It has been called “the most romantic place in Italy.” The grandeur of Tivoli’s landscape, with its evocations of ancient glory, also made it a major destination for foreign visitors on their 19th century “Grand Tour.” The Tiburtine Sybil (a kind of oracle) is famous for having announced to the Emperor Augustus the coming of Jesus.
