To have students gain a better understanding that representing the United States abroad is an extraordinarily dangerous job. This lesson provides students with a hands-on history lab where participants step into the roles of President Carter and his advisors, work with formerly classified primary source documents, and collaborate to tackle one of history’s greatest challenges. Reveal to students how, in the wake of a successful 1979 revolution by Islamic fundamentalists against the pro-American Shah of Iran, the United States became an object of virulent criticism and the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was a visible target.

Boston strives for carbon neutrality by 2050, but faces hurdles with its reliance on fossil fuels. Buildings contribute most to emissions, driven by electricity and natural gas. Decarbonizing the grid and eliminating natural gas are vital for success. While progress has been made, meeting targets remains uncertain. Priorities include electrifying buildings, local energy planning, coastal resilience, and climate justice.

The United States government has a long history of supporting energy-related research and development (RD&D). However, federal support for civilian energy RD&D has declined significantly since the creation of the Department of Energy (DOE). Recent spending decisions prioritize fossil fuels over clean energy, hindering efforts to address the carbon problem and decarbonize our society.

In the wake of a hurricane and beset by an economic recession, the University of Texas Medical Branch on Galveston Island rebuilt for future resilience.

This is a problem set designed to be used in an introductory or advanced petrology course, either as an exercise in conjunction with a laboratory assignment or as a stand-alone assignment. It could also be easily modified to be suitable for an exam exercise. The problem set uses field data to help teach the determination and balancing mixed-volatile reactions and locating isograds in siliceous dolomites in a contact aureole. Concepts explored in the problem set can be used to establish a framework for later discussions of T-X(CO2) diagrams, fluids in contact aureoles, and thermal gradients in the crust.
Note that mapped assemblages have been somewhat simplified from the field data (Roselle 1997). Where brucite was observed in the aureole it has been mapped as periclase. All of the assemblages are '3-phase' except for the mapped assemblages of Dol+ Qtz+ Cal+ Tr. This assemblage can be the focus of a question regarding crossing tie-lines and the 'quartz-out' isograd. To simplify the exercise the open triangle symbols can be filled, making the assemblage Dol+ Cal+ Tr. Any of the questions below can be made a bit more straightforward by including more guiding text (or the reverse), depending on the preparation of the students.
The Ubehebe aureole is an excellent locality to use to teach metamorphic reactions in siliceous dolomites (Peck, 2003), and has the advantage of the availability of supplementary data for other exercises (mineral textures, Roselle, 1997; Roselle et al., 1997; stable isotopes, Roselle et al., 1999; remote sensing, Kozak et al., 2004). Ubehebe is also a case study discussed in Best's Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology (2003). Winter's (2001) textbook discusses the Alta contact aureole. A similar problem set could be easily made by using data from Alta (Cook and Bowman, 2000).

Energy poverty is a significant concern in the United States, with over one in four households experiencing insecurity. Government programs like LIHEAP and WAP aim to address this issue, but funding levels often fall short of the need. A more comprehensive approach is necessary, considering the impact on well-being and addressing racial and socioeconomic disparities.

Concerns about wind turbines causing bird deaths are often exaggerated. Data shows that bird fatalities from wind turbines are relatively low compared to other causes like domestic cats and building collisions. When assessing the relative impact on bird mortality, wind energy appears less harmful than many other forms of electricity generation.

Residents of North Slope Borough, Alaska, look to solar-powered ice cellars and other strategies to preserve their traditional whaling lifestyle.

What should you do if you're lucky enough to find an artifact? In this resource, JPPM Educator Kenny walks you through a simple 4-step process for making sure your find gets taken care of. Available in video and text form, this resource also includes connections for instructors to Maryland State Social Studies Frameworks for grades 2 and 3 on Civic Engagment and Civic Virtue.

With valuable cultural and dietary assets at risk from sea level rise, this Pacific Northwest Tribe developed a plan to identify community adaptation priorities and concerns, and charted a course of action to address them.

The K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX) released “Cybersecurity Frameworks: What K-12 Leaders Need to Know,” a new resource for state and local education leaders encouraging the adoption of nationally recognized cybersecurity best practices. This white paper was commissioned by the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) as part of the work of its Cybersecurity & Privacy Collaborative.

The Development of Drama in Greece   1). Drama is the most perfect form of literary art. Aristotle traces traces the stages of the rise of drama. It has originated in from the rituals associated with the festivals of Dionysus. Dionysus is a very interesting god . Originally he was not a Greek god. He came on the way from east but soon became very popular god . He had many functions. He was god of wine , ectasy, inspiration and prophecy. He was also the  god of poetry, drama, and culture. He was, above all, the saviour god like Jesus. He died a violent death and then came back to life . Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross and on third day came back to life . They celebrate his death and resurrection. The followers of Dionysus celebrated his resurrection exactly as the Christians do . They celebrated his resurrection by eating a piece of bread and wine and thought that they were eating his flesh and blood. It was celebrated with great deal of enthusiasm and ecstasy. This was  celebrated once in a year in spring . So the people had to meet at one place to celebrate his death and resurrection.                 The earliest form of celebration was dance and choral song . There would be a group of singers who would dance in a circle and sing a song about Dionysus, his life and particularly his death and resurrection. The songs were sung with gestures and movements. From this developed.

Dense populations of some microscopic algae (phytoplankton) in ocean waters can contaminate seafood, resulting in serious health problems for humans. Satellite data displayed in an online tool help fishermen monitor and avoid these harmful algal blooms.

Kilmanagh Meadows involves a two-party negotiation between neighbours over a dispute relating to noise pollution, boundary walls, and maintenance costs. This simulation can also be adapted for use as a mediation simulation. This simulation is designed for teaching and learning at third level, and works best where students have some experience and knowledge of negotiation and/or alternative dispute resolution (mediation).Kilmanagh Meadows allows students to move away from positional bargaining towards creating opportunities for mutual gain and value creation. Maintaining the relationship is a key concern for both parties, and students may choose to prioritise this in the negotiation. This simulation has a large ZOPA, allowing for a wide range of outcomes.Teaching Notes include General Instructions, Confidential Instructions for Liam MacManus and Confidential Instructions for James Canty. 

The objective of this lesson is to teach kids about food advertising. To compare and contrast the portrayal of real food versus processed food in the media.
