Student groups use a "real" 3D coordinate system to plot points in space. Made from balsa wood or wooden dowels, the system has three axes at right angles and a plane (the XY plane) that can slide up and down the Z axis. Students are given several coordinates and asked to find these points in space. Then they find the coordinates of the eight corners of a box/cube with given dimensions.

In this learning activity, students compare changes in insolation with changes in surface temperature in the polar regions using scientific visualizations of global data sets. Links to readings related to the shrinking ice cap and albedo are included. This is part 1 of a four-part activity on polar science. Extension activities examining air and sea surface temperature in relation to changing Earth albedo are included. This activity is one of several learning activities connected with the 2007 GLOBE Earth system poster.

This is an activity about solar energy. Learners will first use computers to research and learn how solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. Next, they will calculate the surface area of solar panels board a satellite and their total power generated in various positions of the satellite, given the dimension of the panels. After, learners will organize and write a report summarizing the information about the MMS mission satellites. This activity requires student access to internet accessible computers. This is lesson four as part of the MMS Mission Educator's Instructional Guide.

As emerging technologies in artificial intelligence continue to evolve, their influence in educational settings is becoming increasingly significant. “The presence of AI systems and chatbots in education needs to be considered as an opportunity of development rather than a threat.” (Kooli, 2023). The primary objective of this guide is to assist you in navigating this new landscape. This guide will equip you to make informed decisions on how to proactively design and adapt your college courses for the age of AI.

Relatório técnico conclusivo, no qual - por meio de indicadores deduzidos obtidos na realização de estudo prévio de avaliação, durante pesquisa de doutorado, e vinculado à melhoria contínua de seus resultados - é apresentado programa de ações que dá suporte à gestão integrada de resíduos sólidos e com vistas à melhoria da cooperação intersetorial e engajamento das partes interessadas envolvidas. A iniciativa provém do Programa Regional de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente (Rede PRODEMA), proposta interdisciplinar, interinstitucional e intrarregional, da qual participam nove instituições de ensino superior, que trabalham para propor resolução de problemas locais e regionais. Se aplicado, pode gerar mudanças efetivas na área ambiental, social, econômica, cultural e jurídica, colaborando com governos locais municipais e sua relação com os cidadãos. Vale destacar ainda que este produto atende a seis objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável, da ONU, especificamente o ODS 1 – Erradicação da pobreza, ODS 3 – Saúde e bem-estar, ODS 6 – Água potável e saneamento, ODS 10 – Redução das desigualdades, ODS 12 – Consumo e produção responsáveis e o ODS 17 – Parcerias e meios de implementação.

This is a culminating activity for the MMS Mission Educator's Instructional Guide. Learners should complete the four previous activities in the guide before moving to this activity. Learners will choose and complete three activities about the MMS mission. Activity formats can include creating videos, composing songs, developing written materials, constructing models, investigating current events, utilizing mathematics to explain concepts, and more. Depending on the project(s) chosen by a student, the project activity may require student access to internet accessible computers. This is lesson five as part of the MMS Mission Educator's Instructional Guide.

Projections and coordinates are key advancements in the geographic sciences that allow us to better understand the nature of the Earth and how to describe location. These innovations in describing the Earth are the basis for everything that is done in a GIS framework. Shape of the Earth is a critical starting point because in fact the Earth is not round but rather a more complex shape called a geoid. Coordinate systems are often referenced to a particular model shape of the Earth, but many different formats exist because not all coordinates work equally well in all areas. While projections and coordinates are abstract concepts in themselves, students eventually find them interesting because 1) it causes them to challenge their current ideas of the Earth's shape and 2) it is much easier to visualize these ideas for learning through interactive GIS such as Google Earth.
