Learning Walks: Trail Hikes in Pedagography
My presentation with Bo Adams, Chief Learning & Innovation Officer, Mount Vernon Presbyterian School at the 2018 Southern Association of Independent Schools Annual Conference.
Description
So often tales from students, parents, and colleagues establish legend and lore about our classroom teachers, providing an incomplete picture of the landscape of teaching and learning in our schools. How might we accurately view that landscape ourselves and, with others, construct and understand a truer map of our pedagogical system? Learning walks are a means to "hike the pedagogical topography” in schools while leveraging simple tech tools to better map that landscape.

This is the slide deck accompanying the presentation by urban planner Garet Johnson in our AP Environmental Science class on 1/11/2013.
Succession Slides 2012
This document discusses ecological succession, including primary and secondary succession. It provides examples of primary succession on new landscapes like volcanic islands or glacial retreat. Secondary succession is examined using a case study of an old field recovering from agriculture. The document also discusses how disturbances can impact succession, creating ecotones and edge effects. The intermediate disturbance hypothesis is presented, suggesting peak diversity at moderate disturbance levels. Island biogeography theories are summarized, relating them to habitat fragmentation. The solution of wildlife corridors is proposed to address fragmentation effects.
Possibilities to Practices
Derrick Willard and Matt Scully from Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina discuss how the iPad is changing science instruction at their school. They implemented iPads in various science courses from tropical ecology to AP Environmental Science. This allowed them to go paperless, use digital tools for collaboration and projects, access content on demand, and use formative assessment apps. They found the iPad helped promote productivity, note taking, projects presented on Apple TV, digital lab notebooks, and collaborative blogs. The iPad is helping bring 21st century skills like digital learning to the science classroom.
Species interactions
Presentation on species interactions that determine a species' niche and impact population dynamics. Class notes from November 5th, 2012.
Mining Practices 2012
This document discusses coal mining practices and their environmental impacts. It begins by explaining that coal and other minerals are mined to produce energy and materials like steel. Several mining techniques are described, including surface mining methods like mountaintop removal and subsurface techniques like longwall mining. The document notes that while mining is important, it can cause issues like water and air pollution, subsidence, and damage to landscapes. Laws like the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act were passed to regulate impacts and require cleanup, but mining continues to significantly alter environments.
Charlotte’s Future: Growth and the Environment
This is the slide deck accompanying the presentation by urban planner Garet Johnson in our AP Environmental Science class on 1/13/2012.
Species interactions
This document discusses different types of species interactions including competition, predation, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. It provides examples of each type of interaction and how species may coevolve or partition resources in response to competition or predation. Species must adapt to interactions, migrate to avoid negative interactions, or may go extinct if unable to adapt or migrate in response to competition or predation.
Hazardous wastes
1. Hazardous waste landfills are designed with multiple layers to prevent contamination, including compacted waste, clay and plastic linings, leachate collection systems, and groundwater monitoring wells.
2. Common hazardous wastes include cleaning products, paints, pesticides, batteries, motor oil and antifreeze which should not be thrown in the trash or poured down drains but disposed of properly.
3. Transitioning to a low-waste society requires reducing and reusing materials to minimize pollution, following principles like industrial ecology that mimic natural cycles.
Examining MSW
This document discusses municipal solid waste (MSW) in the United States and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina from 1997-2009. It notes that most MSW in the US comes from mining, oil and gas, and agriculture, while municipal waste makes up a small percentage. It also outlines current practices for dealing with MSW, including landfilling, recycling, and incineration. Barriers to increasing recycling rates are discussed, such as low environmental costs and subsidies that favor virgin materials over recycled materials. Potential solutions proposed include taxing resource extraction and requiring government agencies to purchase more recyclables.

Keystone and Foundation Species 2011
The document discusses the concepts of keystone and foundation species through several examples. It describes research showing that the sea star Pisaster ochraceus is a keystone species that controls populations of mussels, maintaining diversity in intertidal communities. Studies on kangaroo rats and prairie dogs also demonstrate how removing these species can transform ecosystems by reducing diversity. Kelp is provided as an example of a foundation species as a dominant primary producer.
Species interactions
This document discusses different types of species interactions including competition, predation, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. It provides examples of each type of interaction such as the competitive exclusion of grey squirrels outcompeting red squirrels in Britain. Species may coevolve due to competitive interactions, developing strategies like resource partitioning to coexist. Predator-prey relationships can drive coevolution through evolutionary arms races. Commensal and mutualistic interactions provide benefits to one or both species involved.
Biomass energy

Mining Practices & Impacts
The document discusses various mining techniques and their environmental impacts. It describes how minerals are identified and land is acquired for mining under the 1872 Mining Law. Surface mining techniques like open-pit, strip, contour, and mountaintop removal mining are outlined. Subsurface mining techniques like room-and-pillar and longwall mining are also summarized. The document discusses the impacts of mining such as scarring of land, erosion, subsidence, water and air pollution from acid mine drainage and slurry pond spills. It provides an example of reclamation at an abandoned coal mine in Pennsylvania.
Succession
This presentation elaborates on primary and secondary succession concepts presented in Chapter 6 of your text.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
