The geographic range of a plant or animal species is an indication of its environmental “preferences,” the conditions that it finds ideal, acceptable, or intolerable. If the climate changes, therefore, it is reasonable to expect that plant and animal species might “move” to occupy different places. The big question is: “What species will move, and where will they go?” In this lesson, students approach this question through three activities.

In this two-part lesson, students first explore phenological changes through an analysis of phenological observations. In part two students examine the effects of seasons with longer degree days and spring freeze, and consider projections into the future, focusing their efforts on tart cherry production in Michigan.
Students will review potential impacts of climate change on Michigan and determine …
Students will review potential impacts of climate change on Michigan and determine both adaptive and individual mitigation strategies. Through an optional service learning project, they will get the word out about climate change and that actions can be taken to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

Overview: In this project students develop a computer game in Scratch using their understanding of loops, conditional statements, variables and events that tells the story of a hunter or gatherer from an indigenous culture of their choice. Developed by Allen Distinguished Educators, Nick Nohner and Chris Bartlo, this project integrates computer science, design, and social studies concepts and meets learning standards in computer science.
Imagine combinar elementos da Língua Espanhola, Comida, Cultura e Conservação da Agrobiodiversidade …
Imagine combinar elementos da Língua Espanhola, Comida, Cultura e Conservação da Agrobiodiversidade correlacionados em um único material! Caminhando para um ensino contextualizado e de forma didática, pretende-se propiciar um melhor entendimento do ser humano como parte do ambiente no qual vive. A cartilha Colores y Sabores: comida de la Triple Frontera (Español en Contexto) é fruto da dissertação Diversidade cultural na diversidade alimentar: a comida da Tríplice Fronteira, apresentada ao Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Rede Nacional para o Ensino das Ciências Ambientais (PROFCIAMB). Vislumbrando facilitar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Ciências Ambientais na Educação Básica, além de contribuir também ao ensino de língua espanhola, surge a ideia da cartilha na tentativa de minimizar os efeitos causados pela compartimentalização do conhecimento: a desarticulação entre a realidade e os saberes. Pensando em uma maneira de interligar os saberes, diminuir as barreiras entre as áreas do conhecimento e mitigar as dificuldades de correlacionar os conteúdos aprendidos entre si e com o cotidiano surge a proposta de relacionar Língua Espanhola com cultura e conservação da agrobiodiversidade por meio da comida. Assim, a Língua Espanhola aparece como um instrumento facilitador do ensino das Ciências Ambientais. Para isso, esse material está constituído por reflexões sobre a comida da Tríplice Fronteira, trazendo algumas comidas citadas pelos discentes do Instituto Federal do Amazonas – campus Tabatinga e seus respectivos modos de preparo, além de atividades desenvolvidas especialmente para contribuir com o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Então não perca esta chance de mergulhar no mundo das Ciências Ambientais por meio da comida, tendo a Língua Espanhola como ferramenta, permitindo a contextualização da temática com seu cotidiano! Espero que desfrute da leitura e tenha um aprendizado muito mais feliz!

This course covers concepts of computation used in analysis of engineering systems. It includes the following topics: data structures, relational database representations of engineering data, algorithms for the solution and optimization of engineering system designs (greedy, dynamic programming, branch and bound, graph algorithms, nonlinear optimization), and introduction to complexity analysis. Object-oriented, efficient implementations of algorithms are emphasized.

As GIS technicians, students examine dams along the Mersey River Watershed to determine whether there are any locations suitable for the construction of a fishway. Once they identify the best potential location, they will calculate the dam's upstream watershed to help determine how much additional habitat could be made accessible by constructing the fishway.
