Relative Humidity Protocol
The purpose of this activity is to measure relative humidity using both a sling psychrometer and a digital hygrometer. Intended outcomes are that students learn to quantify humidity and that there is a limit to the amount of water vapor that the air can hold. Students gain insight into why rain drops and snow flakes form and why there is precipitation. Supporting background materials for both student and teacher are included.
Discovery Area Post-Protocol
The purpose of this resource is to use a land cover type map to make environmentally sound decisions.
The TETE Project Introduction
Working in parallel with the Canada-EU negotiations toward a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the TETE project aims to help governments at all levels in Canada and the EU work together towards greater convergence and harmonization of policy measures relating to trade, the environment and technology, including legislation, technical regulations, standards and approval processes. The TETE project is an initiative of Professors Jeremy de Beer and Debra Steger at the University of

Spokane, Wash.—Six graduate students from the Interdisciplinary Design Institute at WSU Spokane were just introduced to an American icon in the travel industry—a 1958 Airstream Overlander trailer. They have eight weeks to delve into the world of travel trailers and transform the interior into l
John Haldon, Princeton University: History, Remote Sensing, and GIS - The Avkat Survey Project
This talk introduces briefly the Avkat Archaeological Survey, a collaborative research project in north-central Anatolia which seeks to integrate a number of different approaches to studying the past, using recent technological advances to integrate disparate datasets into a cohesive framework of analysis. From the 1980s, there has been continued development of methodologies of archaeological field survey, as well as remote sensing techniques ranging from ground-penetrating radar to airborne rad

Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project - data display
This site provides access to real-time oceanographic and meteorological data from approximately 70 moored buoys in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Data types include wind, air and sea temperature, precipitation, humidity, pressure, radiation, and salinity. The data can be displayed as a summary, time ...

Native American Powerpoint Project
For this project students will research a Native American group that played an influential role in Alabama history. The students will then create a powerpoint describing the primary aspects of that group's heritage.
Project Zero's Studio Thinking Framework: Eight Habits of Mind
Project Zero's mission is to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines, at the individual and institutional levels.
River City Project
As visitors to River City, students travel back in time, bringing their 21st century skills and technology to address 19th century problems. With funding from the National Science Foundation, we have developed an interactive computer simulation for middle grades science students to learn scientific inquiry and 21st century skills. River City has the look and feel of a video game but contains content developed from National Science Education Standards, National Educational Technology Standards, a
Improving health in Malawi: MaiMwana Project
UCL is hosting an exhibition of photographs chronicling the university's involvement in a project to improve mother and and child health in rural Africa.
The UCL Centre for International Health and Development established the MaiMwana Project in Malawi in 2002.
Maternal mortality in the country is among the highest in the world and neonatal mortality is also high and accounts for almost half of all infant deaths.
High mortality rates are partly a result of poor health care for mothers and th
Soil Temperature Protocol
The purpose of this resource is to measure near-surface soil temperatures. Students measure soil temperatures at 5 cm and 10 cm depths using a soil thermometer. Students will be able to perform a soil thermometer calibration, carry out soil temperature measurements accurately and precisely and record and report soil temperature data. Students will be able to relate soil temperature measurements to the physical and chemical properties of soil.
Soil Particle Density Protocol
The purpose of this resource is to measure the soil particle density of each horizon in a soil profile. Students weigh a sample of dry, sieved soil from a horizon, mix it with distilled water and then boil the mixture to remove any air. The mixture cools for a day and then students add water until the volume of the mixture is 100 mL. Students measure the temperature and mass of the final mixture and use the Soil Particle Density Data Sheet to calculate the soil particle density. Three samples sh
