Crash Course 2014: Ethnography & Research (Teresa Derrick, DLab)
Ethnography involves observing and interacting with people in their natural environments to understand their cultures. It is done to uncover unknowns, empathize with customers' experiences, and gain insights that can improve services. Effective ethnographic research involves collecting data through observation, interviews, and participation using a beginner's mindset. Field researchers should observe nonverbal cues and interactions, ask open-ended questions, and document their findings through notes, photos, and collected artifacts. Putting it all together requires planning observations of the target group, analyzing the collected data for themes and patterns, and gaining an empathetic understanding of people's experiences.

Geologic Similes
The document discusses four geologic principles - uniformitarianism, superposition, original horizontality, and catastrophism - and compares each principle to the layers of a cake. Uniformitarianism is like a cake in that the ingredients and process of making a cake are always the same. Superposition is like a cake as the bottom layer was placed first and each subsequent layer above it is younger. Original horizontality is like cake layers in that they should be placed horizontally. Catastrophism is like a dropped cake that is suddenly ruined. The document provides additional examples comparing the principles to other everyday items like clothes piles and bicycles.
Exploration
Ancient societies like the Egyptians, Mayans, and builders of Stonehenge began exploring the night sky to develop calendars and track seasonal changes. Greeks like Aristotle and Ptolemy developed early geocentric models of the solar system, though their ideas were inaccurate. Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important contributions to establishing the heliocentric model through observations, mathematics, and physics theories like gravity. Continued exploration has led to discoveries of new objects in our solar system like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
What time is it?
The document discusses the Earth's rotation and revolution and how it influences time measurements. It takes the Earth approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation on its axis. The days of the week are named after objects visible in the sky, with Sunday through Friday named after the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Months are based on the moon's cycle around Earth, taking approximately 28 days, while years represent the time for Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, which takes 365.2422 days.
Geologic Principle Similes
The document discusses geological principles for understanding the Earth's history using the analogy of a layer cake. It explains four key principles:
1) Uniformitarianism - geological processes occurred the same way in the past as today, like how cakes are made the same way each time.
2) Superposition - the oldest sedimentary layers are on the bottom, like how cake layers are placed with the bottom being oldest.
3) Original Horizontality - sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers, similar to cake layers being placed horizontally.
4) Catastrophism - geological change can occur suddenly, akin to a dropped cake being ruined suddenly.
Dance of the planets
The document describes the fundamental force of gravity. It explains that gravity is a weak but predictable force that helped form the universe and has a constant presence, distorting space and time and acting on all matter through mass. Gravity keeps objects like ourselves on Earth and the Earth orbiting the sun according to laws proposed by Newton and Einstein describing gravity's proportional relationship to mass and dependence on net force and inertia.
Why do we measure time the way that we do
Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis over 24 hours. Weeks consist of 7 days which are associated with the sun and visible objects in the night sky. Months are based on the moon's approximately 29.5 day revolution around Earth, though months contain 30-31 days. Years measure the 365.2422 days it takes Earth to orbit the sun, requiring a leap year every four years, except for centennial years which must be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.
Cloud Challenge: Alto Clouds
This document discusses two types of middle-level clouds known as alto clouds: altostratus and altocumulus. Altostratus clouds are gray and blue clouds that often cover the sky and are associated with areas of storms and continuous precipitation, composed of ice and water droplets. Altocumulus clouds appear as gray, puffy masses that form in parallel waves or bands, usually occurring on warm, humid summer mornings and often indicating upcoming thunderstorms. Pictures and websites with additional information about alto clouds are also provided.

The answers define key terms, name major geologic eras, and explain how fossils provide evidence about past environments and climate change over time.
09 24-2013-relative age
This document discusses methods for determining the relative age of rocks and fossils, including using the principle of superposition, where older rock layers are found below younger ones, and examining index fossils, which are fossils that lived during a short period of time that can help date the rock layer. It also mentions radiometric dating as a way to determine the absolute age of rocks and fossils by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes. The document provides questions for students to think about the geologic column and which layers and fossils are oldest versus youngest.
09 24-2013-relative age
This document discusses methods for determining the relative age of rocks and fossils, including using the principle of superposition, where older rock layers are below younger ones, and looking at index fossils which lived during short, identifiable periods of time. It also briefly introduces the concept of absolute age dating using radiometric dating techniques, and contains exercises for students to practice determining relative age from a model geologic column by identifying the oldest and youngest layers and index fossils.
09 23-2013-principles
The document discusses geologic principles for understanding the Earth's history. Students are asked to brainstorm how these principles are like a layer cake. The principles discussed are uniformitarianism, superposition, original horizontality, and catastrophism. For each principle, students come up with a simile comparing it to a layer cake and illustrate it. They then answer the evocative question of how the geologic principles are like a layer cake by brainstorming as a group.
Rocks Review 2013-2014
This document provides information about classifying and identifying rocks and minerals. It includes directions for an in-class activity where students will classify rocks, label the rock cycle, and answer questions about rock and mineral formation. It also describes a review game where students answer questions as a group about topics like the three main rock types, what rocks are made of, how rocks are used, and processes involved in the rock cycle.
Minerals Review
This document contains 10 questions about minerals and answers the questions. It tests knowledge about the definitions of minerals, including that minerals must be inorganic, form repeating crystalline patterns, and can form through crystallization of magma. It also covers hardness of common minerals on the Mohs scale such as diamond, quartz and talc. The questions assess understanding of how minerals form inside the Earth and on its surface.
Where does it come from?
The things we use everyday come from minerals, animals, and plant products. Can you identify the items and their sources?

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
