O presente trabalho buscou envolver as Ciências Matemáticas para a sensibilização ambiental de alunos do Ensino Fundamental. Com o objetivo de estimular a Economia Solidária por meio de uma moeda social (Eco Moeda), nomeada como DIC. Assim estimulou-se o letramento matemático, a solidariedade e a consciência ecológica.

O caderno "Panorama dos Recursos Hídricos em Diferentes Contextos", constitui um dos produtos técnicos educacionais da dissertação intitulada "Percepções e mapeamento de conflitos socioambientais relativos à água nos limites da bacia hidrográfica do Paraguaçu. Este produto foi elaborado tomando como referência a "Enquete operária de Karl Max", apresentamos, portanto, um questionário cujo objetivo é conduzir o leitor a uma reflexão crítica a respeito da sua realidade local e sua relação com os recursos hídricos.

This paper model shows the orbit of Comet ISON (late 2013) with respect to the innermost planets of the solar system. After reading background information about comets - how they form and where they come from - students cut out and tape together the pieces of the model provided to show its orbital pathway (a single page of parts that can be assembled using just scissors and adhesive). Links are provided to related classroom activities and additional resources.

Oceans play a significant role in determining and moderating the effects of energy imbalances. Students will begin this lesson by working with temperature data to reinforce the importance of protocols, practice computing statistical measures of data and interpreting their significance. The lesson continues with investigations into daily and annual energy cycles. Using a sea surface environment visualizer, students then identify patterns of sea surface current and temperature data. Note that this is lesson five of five on the Ocean Motion website. Each lesson investigates ocean surface circulation using satellite and model data and can be done independently. See Related URL's for links to the Ocean Motion Website that provide science background information, data resources, teacher material, student guides and a lesson matrix.

This Web site takes an in-depth look at pearls. It contains information on how both natural and imitation pearls are created, the freshwater and marine mollusks that are the source of pearls, and examines how pearls became important symbols of wealth, status, and religious beliefs, as well as how mother-of-pearl shells had an even higher value for some cultures.

This is a lesson that could be used in mathematics, social studies, RtII, and/or MTSS.

The lesson involves studying and understanding percents which is beneficial in mathematics and learning about key social studies (civics) terms like majority and plurality.

Case studies are used here, specifically controversial Electoral College results in U.S. Presidential Elections.

This page is meant to be printed out and distributed to students as a blank template to record new words and phrases. Ideally, the papers are hole-punched, and students can create a alphabetized Personal Dictionary throughout the year that demonstrates their learning. These are half-sheets, so some printing, chopping, and hole punching is required.

both teams already relegated to Serie B and this game is not important. Both teams is with huge problems in defense this season and with worst performance in defense from all clubs in Serie A, so I expect a lot of goal here. First meeting ended 1-1, but now an over is expected.

This Web site, created to complement the Petra: Lost City of Stone exhibit, looks at this once flourishing city in the heart of the ancient Near East. Although the exhibit is now closed, the web site contains a wealth of information about Petra.

This is a laboratory-style investigation wherein students examine the petrography and major-element geochemistry of 6 samples of mid-ocean ridge basalt and related differentiated lavas recovered from the Cleft segment of southern Juan de Fuca Ridge, a medium spreading-rate MOR in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Lava types range from basalt to dacite.

After some initial background information on basalts, the MOR environment, and the study area students investigate four thin sections, beginning with typical basalts and ending with a dacite. They are led through a series of directed questions that help them gain familiarity with commonly occurring minerals and textures in mid-ocean ridge lavas. Questions direct students toward the interpretation of quench-related textural features and crystallization sequence, as well as a few other textural observations and petrographic techniques. After proceeding through the initial four thin sections and associated questions student are then asked to undertake "full thin-section descriptions" of the remaining two samples.Â

After investigating the thin-sections and determining a possible crystallization sequence from the petrographic data gathered (plagioclase followed by olivine followed by augitic clinopyroxene followed by pigeonite), students examine a P-T phase diagram to constrain possible pressures of formation. Discovering that crystallization pressures were low (less than ~ 0.75 GPa) students then examine a phase diagram of the olivine-plagioclase-augite-quartz system (olivine-quartz-augite ternary, projected from the plane of plagioclase saturation) [Walker, 1979]. Students draw 2 possible liquid lines of descent (LLD) onto the diagram, and then use their petrographic observations to qualitatively plot the samples along that LLD, determining a relative sequence of chemical evolution for the suite of samples. Lastly, given those determinations, student graph the major element data for the lava suite to infer paths of chemical evolution and the effects of fractional crystallization (possibly coupled with magma mixing).

In this activity, students are assigned different alleles of the gene for phenylalanine hydroxylase to research using OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man). They are then asked to both explain and illustrate how this mutation may cause the disease phenylketonuria (PKU).

This material consists of general introduction of the phenomenon "photon upconversion". I have attached a file for better understanding. There are also references for further studies. 

The Central American volcanic arc displays large arc-parallel variations in chemical composition that yield important clues concerning the complex origin of magmas in subduction zones. In this exercise, students use data compiled for the NSF MARGINS program to compare heights, volumes, and whole-rock compositions of 39 Quaternary volcanic centers along the Central American arc, together with crustal thicknesses, to assess the possible sources of the magmas and the petrologic processes that have modified them prior to eruption.

This resource gives information about our solar system which is made up of the sun, planets and all the amazing objects that travel around it. Information about the plant sizes, distances in the solar system and the size and shape of orbits is also explained. The universe is filled with billions of star systems. And the star system we are most familiar with is our own.

This article, part of Biodiversity Counts, reports on the process of doing a plant inventory. The article discusses how scientists begin by marking out the plot, using colored flagging and permanent marker, why you may need to divide a plot into smaller subplots if the plants you're inventorying are smaller than trees, and some of the difficulties scientists face in the field when they're working in particularly dense areas.
