Informatics is the science and technology of collecting, storing, processing, and distributing information using computer systems. It is closely related to computer science as computers are used to implement its methods, though informatics has a broader scope than just computers. Computer science is a small part of studying informatics overall.
This document outlines a school project to teach students to cultivate empathy and kindness toward others. The project involves students reading stories, watching videos, and participating in experiential activities about acceptance and treating others well regardless of differences. Students are then separated into groups based on interests to create final projects - such as writing, photos, presentations - demonstrating what they learned about acts of kindness. The projects are shared online for others to see.
The document discusses different types of waste found in oceans, with a focus on plastic pollution. The most problematic waste is plastic, which does not biodegrade and can be harmful if ingested by marine life. Common plastic waste items in oceans include bags, bottles, and lost fishing gear. China and other Asian countries are the largest contributors to ocean plastic pollution. Ingested plastic can cause starvation and death in ocean animals like seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. The document also provides tips for reducing plastic waste to help address this problem.
