The Speed of Green Grade 8 STEM Road Map for Middle School

The Speed of Green Grade 8 STEM Road Map for Middle School

What if you could challenge your eighth graders to design a racing vehicle with minimum environmental impact while exploring the role of renewable and non-renewable energy sources? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series you can! The Speed of Green outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary eight-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students explore the potential role of renewable and non-renewable energy sources in transportation with an emphasis on the auto industry. Using their understanding of the engineering design process (EDP) scientific concepts and environmental conservation considerations student teams will develop a plan for a competitive automobile racing team to fuel its vehicle with minimal environmental impact. To support this goal students will do the following: Identify finite energy resources and distinguish between these and renewable energy sources and identify implications of the use of those fuel sources on the environment Conduct life cycle analyses (LCAs) of various fuel sources and apply the results to make decisions about the effects of various fuel sources Identify several ways that carbon-based fuels have impacted the U. S. economy and foreign relations Identify the effects of human activities on the biosphere with an emphasis on the effects of the widespread use of carbon-based fuels Apply the engineering design process (EDP) to solve a problem and design and build a small-scale electric vehicle Synthesize their learning and working collaboratively by creating and presenting a plan for a race team that minimizes its environmental impact Create an engaging presentation incorporating oral presentations and visual displays to present projects to an audience of peers teachers and industry professionals. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards the Common Core State Standards and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible The Speed of Green can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts schools and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach. | The Speed of Green Grade 8 STEM Road Map for Middle School

Gulliver in the Land of Giants A Critical Biography and the Memoirs of the Celebrated Dwarf Joseph Boruwlaski

J³zef Boruwlaski was the most famous dwarf of the Enlightenment age. Polish-born he travelled extensively throughout Europe appearing and performing at royal courts and salons before settling in Durham in his later life until his death at the age of 97. He was described in Diderot's Encyclopédie and the press of his day - both on the continent and in the UK - sustained an interest in him and kept tabs on his life and experiences. His memoirs published in a bilingual (French and English) version in 1788 show him to have been an intelligent and sharp observer of the world he inhabited. The life story of this miniature gentleman is not only highly interesting in its own right but also offers a new perspective on the culture of the Enlightenment. Through a meticulous survey of source materials in Poland France and the United Kingdom the author has managed to unearth and reconstruct many heretofore unknown details about Boruwlaski's life and adventures about his travels first on the continent and then in the United Kingdom. It is not typical biography but rather an attempt at identifying certain social roles that were imposed upon Boruwlaski: a plaything of the salons a source of entertainment for the masses an adventurist against his own wishes. At the same time his story is that of a man who spent his whole life trying to escape from such roles imposed upon him. Boruwlaski's memoirs are included in full containing many of the letters he sent to his wife with critical annotation. The author also investigates for the first time the sizeable differences between the many different versions of the memoirs published during his own lifetime. This monograph offers not only an opportunity to rediscover the fascinating life story of an intriguing man but also gives a unique point of view on Europe's uppermost elite in the Enlightenment age - as people who remained deeply fascinated with deformities and oddities despite their own self-professed 'refined' tastes. | Gulliver in the Land of Giants A Critical Biography and the Memoirs of the Celebrated Dwarf Joseph Boruwlaski
