Students use the national weather apparent temperature data table to answer questions about the relationship between heat index and dangerous health conditions.
Students will use different terms of measurements to measure dimensions of their apples. Students will use 5 senses to describe their apples.
In this lesson, students will design a packaging system to keep their apple slices as fresh as possible over 24 hours. They will use various materials as part of their package and will be able to place apples in different temperature environments for testing (in classroom, by a window, or outside, for example).
Although they are best known for their use in agriculture to increase yields and fight crop diseases, genetic modification techniques are used in many different areas of biological research, including medicine. In this case study, we'll follow the process of developing an edible vaccine for the hepatitis B virus and explore practical details of genetic engineering techniques.
Students practice sampling methods which can be used in the field to investigate the distribution and abundance of species populations.
Students practice calculating Simpson's Index of Diversity using playing cards as "species." Then they will use the equation and a sample set of data to calculate Simpson's Index of Diversity for a representative sample. Students can also conduct their own studies to obtain data.
Students will design and carry out a practical investigation of the effect of temperature on the activity of the enzyme lactase, when immobilised and used in a bioreactor.
Students compare water quality at different points in a stream or river. They will use freshwater invertebrates to obtain and compare biotic index scores for different sampling stations.
Students investigate how different treatments such as work-hardening, tempering, and annealing affect the mechanical properties of a number of metals.
Students use the books of April Pulley Sayre to explore how living organisms depend on one another and on the environment for survival.
This online article describes aquifers as a source of freshwater located below the surface of the earth. The movement of water into and out of aquifers is also discussed.
In this lesson, students interpret graphs of global temperature records and Arctic temperature records for the past 100 years to determine differences in the rates of change between the two records.
This tutorial describes the effect warming temperatures have on the Arctic region.
Students learn about the types and amounts of food that Arctic explorers eat in order to get the energy they need to complete an expedition. In an associated activity, students will collect food labels from the different foods they eat and analyze the labels to discuss the calorie and nutrient information for each one. In the culminating activity, they will plan an appropriate meal list for a seven-day Arctic expedition.
Students analyze a map of the North Polar region, test their knowledge of the Arctic, and brainstorm examples of the interconnectedness of life in this region with life around the world.
This article describes several traditional Inuit games and provides background information and resources for incorporating them into a lesson or unit on Inuit culture.
