The Urgent Need For Understanding and Implementing Sustainability part of SISL:Activities
This activity promotes a clearer understanding of what sustainability at a personal level is, the big contributors to emissions (climate change), a fun quiz-game that promotes learning/knowledge, and a means of collaborating you ides with others.
Problems for Calculus and Precalculus part of SISL:2012 Sustainability in Math Workshop:Activities
Problems on Energy and Climate for Students in Calculus I and II
Control Chart Project part of SISL:2012 Sustainability in Math Workshop:Activities
This is a short assignment that asks students to find some data related to sustainability and determine whether the mean of that data set is statistically stable, and whether the process being measured is in control or out of control. It is often used for quality control in a production process, but in this activity, it is used to see if an ecosystem process is stable and healthy or disrupted (out of control.)
Sustainability Improves Student Learning (SISL) part of SISL
SISL is a select group of academic associations/disciplinary societies working together to increase students' learning in undergraduate courses, and better prepare students for the 21st-century "Big Questions" that relate to real-world challenges such as energy, air and water quality, and climate change.
Fitting and Estimating Rates of Change in the Functions Underlying Earth's Bio-Development Over Time part of SISL:2012 Sustainability in Math Workshop:Activities
What is happening in our world? How has the temperature changed? Have oxygen and carbon dioxide levels changed? How does this effect biodiversity? In this lab, we will investigate the changes in these four variables over various time periods to see how they relate.
Trawl Data Exploration in Multivariable Calculus part of SISL:2012 Sustainability in Math Workshop:Activities
This activity is based on exploring the data collected from all trawls around the Chincoteague Bay from 2005 - 2014. Students can construct their own contour diagrams as they cross section the data based on their own choices. This database could also be used to support similar activities in statistics or graph theory.
How Biodiverse is Lake Superior? An exercise in proportions. part of SISL:2012 Sustainability in Math Workshop:Activities
Students use critical thinking and algebra to measure and evaluate the biodiversity in Lake Superior.
Observing different scenarios of climate change using climate challenge web game part of SISL:Activities
Use the web game Climate Challenge by the British Broadcasting Corporation to observe how decision by government can contribute to climate change. By seeing the consequence of government inaction in an interactive web experience, students will be more engaged citizens and voters. To show students that we live in a world with finite resources.
