Museums in the Classroom Ocean Project This project was created by teachers in the 1997 Museums in the Classroom Summer Workshop at the Chicago Academy of Sciences. The lesson is all about water and how it functions, specifically in the ocean. Included in this project are hands-on activities, links to other web sites on oceans and water, extension ideas, and a discussion of the standards met by this project. I. Words To Know About Water and Oceans. II. What is the Water Cycle? III. How Does it Work? IV. What Else Can You Do With Students Studying Water? V. Other Ocean and Water Resources. VI. Standards Met By Studying Water and Oceans.

Regents Prep Global History Human Impact Introduction Human impact on the environment can be explained in two important ways. One is how humans have adapted to and changed their environment to survive and make life more comfortable and convenient. The other is the effects of these changes and adaptations. Positive Changes/Adaptations Humans have made many changes to their geographical situations to better suit their needs and wants. Most of these changes/adaptations have had a positive impact on the lives of humans, but were not necessarily good for the environment. Irrigation Irrigation systems bring water from nearby sources, often rivers, to areas where crops are grown. Early civilizations such as those in Egypt and China used irrigation systems to grow more food, enabling them to expand and grow. In modern times, more advanced irrigation systems have been developed to grow crops in areas once thought barren. Terrace Farming Terrace farming involves cutting out flat areas (terraces) into near vertical slopes to allow farming. Terrace farms appears as

Time on the globe What is Physical Geography? 1. Fundamental questions of physical geography So, what is Physical/Environmental Geography about? If you think about the world we live in (the material aspect of the world, to be specific), you'll probably agree that it may be roughly divided into (1) things of natural origin, and (2) things of cultural origin, i.e. created by people. Natural things are also called physical (in the broad sense, meaning non-human) or environmental. One way to answer the question above physical geography is about the physical elements of our world: landforms, soils, rivers, air masses, ecosystems, and so on. The problem with this definition is that every major environmental phenomenon is also studied by its own respective branch of science. Indeed, as the table below shows, landforms are the subject of geomorphology, weather is studied by meteorology, oceans and rivers - by hydrology, etc. Physical Elements of the Environment Science Rocks Geology Landforms Geomorphology Soils Pedology Flora, Fauna

Sea and Space Oceans of Water Recent research has shown water to be present in much larger quantities than thought before, in the outer solar system, in the atmospheres of giant stars and in the interstellar clouds of dust and gas. This part of the Sea and Space programme aims at explaining the ubiquitous nature of this molecule that is so crucial for life on Earth. It gives the opportunity to introduce various interdisciplinary aspects (physics, chemistry, mathematics, geography, biology, astronomy) and to determine where there is water and how this precious resource influences the habitability of our planet, as compared to its sister planets, Mars and Venus. Most of this activity will be web-based, with plenty of related links, selected exercises, etc. The outcome may be "an article" in the Contest "Newspaper" (see contest page ), describing different, yet important aspects of the overall theme Sea and Space . The principal investigative methods to be used by the participants will be: Observation Comparison of different geographic areas Evaluation of satellite images Detection in space of extraterrestrial water liquid and molecules Investigations of the water cycle of water in organisms, in plant, in general life, in industry, on Earth or in space.
