light a candle science task
When a candle is lit, three key changes occur:
1) The wax melts and turns from a solid to a liquid through a physical change as it absorbs heat from the flame.
2) The wax and oxygen in the air undergo a chemical reaction where the wax particles combine with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor.
3) The carbon dioxide and water vapor rise and are no longer visible, while the leftover carbon solidifies and leaves behind the wick and new solid wax.

Survey Presentation
The Region 6 office of the OEJTA was helpful, but community members felt their concerns were not equally heard and more community voices should be involved in the process. Tribes also felt that EPA staff working with tribes need more technical skills and knowledge dealing with tribal agreements and policies in order to better assist tribes without tribes having to educate the staff. Visiting tribes in person could help the OEJTA understand tribal perspectives and needs.

Global Warming 2003 Style Agriculture
This document discusses how agriculture is both a victim and cause of global warming, as well as potential solutions. Rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns are negatively impacting crop yields around the world. Agriculture accounts for 9% of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from livestock methane emissions and nitrogen fertilizer use. However, certain agricultural practices like conservation tillage, forestry, and use of biofuels can sequester carbon from the atmosphere and reduce emissions, positioning agriculture as part of the solution to climate change. Carbon markets and offsets may provide economic incentives for farmers to adopt more sustainable practices.
Global WarmingS Effect On Humans
Global warming will have significant negative effects on human health, agriculture, and the global economy according to the document. It is estimated to already cause over 150,000 deaths per year and will exacerbate problems like infectious diseases, heat waves, droughts, and natural disasters. Agriculture will be impacted through changes in precipitation patterns and rising temperatures, which could put hundreds of millions of additional people at risk of hunger by 2060. The economic costs of climate change include damage from increased natural disasters, loss of coastal lands, and declines in productivity, with some estimates indicating costs of 5-20% of global GDP if no action is taken.

Energy Conservation
This document provides information on energy conservation and efficiency. It discusses why conservation is important, actions individuals and communities can take to conserve energy, and programs to promote conservation. Key points covered include the benefits of conservation in reducing fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions, strategies cities are using to become more sustainable like green fleets and renewable energy, and specific steps homeowners can take to save energy.
Elm Fork Education Center 2008
The document summarizes the mission and programs of the Elm Fork Education Center, which was established through a partnership between the University of North Texas and local school districts and organizations. The Center aims to provide hands-on environmental education programs to engage students of all ages. A key program is the Environmental Discovery and Adventure program, which offers both formal and informal learning experiences across disciplines like archaeology, aquatic studies, and exhibitions. Formal curriculum is also provided to teachers to support the hands-on activities. The Center collaborates with community partners and offers various public programs on topics related to science, art, and the environment.
Ecological Effects
The document discusses ecological and evolutionary responses to global warming and the resulting biodiversity crisis. It notes that all life on Earth exists within a single ecological system, and that changes in one location can affect the entire system. It then summarizes observed phenological changes, range shifts of species towards cooler climates, increases in invasive species, impacts on species interactions, and rising extinction rates. It concludes by recommending increased conservation efforts, education, and research to understand and address these issues.
Earthweek Sustainability Indicators
The document summarizes sustainable transportation indicators presented at an Earth Day summit. It discusses defining sustainable transportation as meeting present needs without compromising future generations. Key aspects of sustainable transportation include understanding, quantifying, and applying indicators to benchmark performance over time in a way that is accurate, measurable and shows trends. The document provides examples of sustainability objectives and measures used by TxDOT to reduce congestion and enhance safety while improving air quality and the economy. It describes using an Excel-based calculator to model current and future conditions on a highway and show results graphically.
Climchgpolicy
The document discusses climate change in Texas and potential policy responses. It finds that Texas is one of the most vulnerable states to climate change impacts due to projected increases in temperatures, decreases in water availability, and increasing risks from hurricanes and drought. The document outlines strategies to mitigate climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy systems, agriculture, forestry, and other sectors. It also discusses options to adapt to the impacts of climate change through measures like coastal protection and structural adaptation.
Climate Change And Natural Disasters
The document discusses natural disasters throughout history and how climate change may impact their frequency and intensity in the future. It outlines different types of natural disasters and provides examples from the past. It then explains the mechanisms through which greenhouse gas emissions and rising temperatures could alter atmospheric and oceanic conditions in a way that aggravates natural disasters. This includes increasing sea surface temperatures that fuel stronger hurricanes, and changing precipitation patterns that may lead to more floods or droughts. The document ends by discussing how the media raises awareness of natural disasters and their links to climate change through movies and documentaries.
