Earth, sun and moon Interactions
The document discusses how Earth's interactions with the sun and moon cause night and day, seasons, and climate patterns. It explains that Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, while its revolution around the sun over the course of a year determines the seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis and latitude affect how direct sunlight hits different areas of the planet, making the equator warmer and poles colder. Seasons occur because the amount of direct sunlight varies throughout the year in different hemispheres.

Sun, moon, and earth
The document summarizes key concepts about the Earth, moon, sun, and universe. It describes how the Earth rotates daily and revolves yearly around the sun, causing day/night and seasons. It also discusses the moon's phases, tides, and eclipses due to the positions of the Earth, moon and sun. Finally, it briefly outlines historic models of our solar system and discoveries about gravity and our sun.
The sun (more advanced)
Maybe too in-depth for most elementary students, but very good broad coverage for teacher background or more advanced students in elementary or middle school.
Forces in action (grade 6)
The type of force that occurs in this experiment is upthrust. Upthrust is the force that pushes an object up and makes it seem to lose weight in a fluid.
My prediction was correct. The weight of the object measured in water was lower than the weight measured in air, due to the upthrust force of the water pushing up on the object. The more dense the fluid, the greater the upthrust force and the more the object's apparent weight is reduced.
Forces and their effects
Here are the answers to the questions on the paper:
1. Winter
2. Nighttime
3. Summer
4. Antarctica (the South Pole)
5. A black hole has a much greater mass than our Sun.
6. The Earth is much more massive than the moon, so it has stronger gravitational pull.
7. The beeswax has a lower density than water, so it floats. However, it has a higher density than olive oil, so it sinks in the olive oil.
8. (a) Friction between the box and the floor is causing the leftward force. (b) The box is at rest, with the pulling force from Eric and Sonya balancing the
The Sun
The document summarizes key information about the sun. It begins by stating that the sun is an average sized star, located at the center of the solar system, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. It then describes the various layers of the sun, including the core, radiation layer, convection layer, photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. It explains that nuclear fusion in the core converts hydrogen into helium, releasing energy in the process. This energy eventually makes its way to the surface of the sun and radiates out into space.
Force and motion
Forces and motion are discussed in this document. It defines a force as a push or pull and explains that all motion is due to forces acting on objects. Motion is defined as a change in an object's position over time. Balanced and unbalanced forces are compared, with unbalanced forces being able to cause motion. Common forces like gravity, friction, and air resistance are described. Examples are provided to illustrate key concepts around forces.

Chapter 6 Work And Energy
Work is done when a force causes an object to be displaced. Work (W) is equal to force (F) multiplied by displacement (s). Work units are joules. Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or state. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and depends on an object's mass and velocity. Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is converted and is measured in watts. Conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another.

Urban Agriculture: charting the new democratic governance of food production Countryside and Community Research Institute
This document summarizes research on urban agriculture and food production in Bristol, England. It discusses how social movements in Bristol have created over 100 grassroots food projects and established a Food Policy Council to democratically govern the local food system. The researchers analyzed social media, interviewed key actors, and observed projects to understand how these initiatives build a sense of community and commoning around food. Their conclusions discuss how this movement challenges the limitations of the contemporary food system and debates new frameworks for civic participation around food production beyond consumerism.Gardening Cyberspace Dan Keech

2013 estate planning_seminar
This document summarizes an estate planning seminar focused on simplifying estate plans due to changes in federal and state tax laws. Specifically, the permanency of the increased federal gift and estate tax exemption and portability between spouses means fewer estates will be taxable. As a result, many estate plans can be simplified by removing complex trusts and allowing property to pass to beneficiaries outright or through simpler trusts. However, trusts still provide benefits like creditor protection and controlling distributions, so may still be advisable components of some estate plans.

Natural Flood Management - Valuing catchment level sustainable drainage systemsCountryside and Community Research Institute
This document provides an outline of a PhD student's research on valuing sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) using natural flood management techniques. The research aims to produce a set of plural values for the ecosystem services associated with SuDS using mixed monetary and non-monetary valuation methods. The research will involve stakeholder analysis, contingent valuation surveys to determine monetary values, and valuation workshops to identify both monetary and non-monetary values across cases studies. The results will provide insight into how valuation methodologies and social contexts influence the values individuals and groups assign to ecosystem services.Host and be Hosted - Couchsurfing
The proposed research investigates the community of Couchsurfing: a global network of travellers whose encounters with each other are established in the intimate space of the home. It looks at themes of trust, exchange and gifts in this community; exploring how travellers negotiate the perceived risks involved; and assessing the value of the connections created between its member
SF&FS Session 6th March
Community-supported agriculture (CSA) models emerged in response to concerns about the modern industrial food system and national food security. CSA aims to reconnect consumers and producers by having community members share the risks of food production through advance payments to farmers. This session reviewed different CSA structures in the UK, including community-owned cooperatives and farms that provide members with a share of produce. While CSAs promote alternative and localized approaches to food, their marginal scale and complex operations present challenges to significantly changing the mainstream food system.
Narrative presentation
This film tells the story of a married couple who decide to adopt a child to strengthen their relationship. They choose a 9-year-old Russian girl named Esther. However, Kate begins to feel Esther is manipulative and disturbed. Kate discovers Esther is not who she claims to be and is actually an old woman with a condition making her appear childlike. Esther tries to seduce the father and fails, so the mother drowns her in a lake, resolving the problem.

This document outlines an evaluation of the Water and Integrated Local Delivery (WILD) project in the Cotswolds and Swindon area of the UK. The WILD project aims to improve river ecosystems through partnerships between farmers, local communities, and agencies. It is led by the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group and evaluates the impact of integrated local delivery on enhancing ecosystem resilience. The evaluation found evidence that the project engaged stakeholders, improved communication and knowledge, and helped tackle multi-layer challenges at the local level. However, it also found that facilitators and government agencies need to give local partners more independence. The project implications include the need for government agencies to better integrate issues like water, flooding, and biodiversity, as well‘In-field, agricultural, soil based interventions’

Farmers Risk Perception of Climate Change
This document summarizes a research project on farmers' risk perceptions of climate change. The project aims to assess how UK farmers form perceptions of climate change risks and how those perceptions relate to risk mitigation actions. The researcher conducted a literature review finding little prior research on UK farmers. A conceptual framework was developed using a "cultural-behavioral" theory to understand decision-making. Methods included analyzing climate data and newspaper reports. Next steps are to analyze newspapers using qualitative data software and conduct preliminary interviews with farmers.

Sania Dzalbe is a PhD student in economic geography at Umeå University in Sweden who studies how people in rural areas adapt to crisis and adversity. Drawing from her upbringing in rural Latvia, she notes the importance of social reproduction in sustaining rural livelihoods, which often goes overlooked in traditional regional economic analysis. She argues that the concept of resilience is connected to the concept of loss, as during moments of crisis and major restructuring, societies lose not only jobs and industries but also the very mechanisms through which they shape their environment, both physically and socially. Current resilience studies in economic geography tend to disregard the role of social reproduction and the losses experienced by individuals by predominantly focusing on firms and economic production. However, to understand the evolution of rural regions and communities amid various challenges they face, one must recognize that social reproduction cannot be separated from economic and knowledge production processes.

The talk will focus on the current state of soil governance in Australia, alongside the recently released National Soil Strategy and debate how knowledge exchange on sustainable soil management is progressing. The need to maintain a healthy and functioning soil that is resilient and less vulnerable to climate change and land degradation is an ever-present goal. Yet to achieve this goal requires a critical mass of soil scientists who can effectively undertake research and more importantly people who can communicate such knowledge to farmers so that soil is protected through the use of landscape-appropriate practices. Decades of government de-investment and privatisation have led to a diminished and fragmented workforce that is distant from, rather than part of, the rural community, and farmers are also increasingly isolated with few functional social networks for knowledge exchange. Is it possible to chart a course that can see this decline in expertise and local soil knowledge corrected, and restore to it vitality and legitimacy?Latvian Meadows: Past, Present & Future!
Presentation made to CCRI as part of our seminar series. Footage of seminar: https://youtu.be/tWcArqtqxjI
Latvian meadows are inextricably connected to the Latvian identity. An identity built on the concept of the industrious peasant working their own land, free from the oppression of tyrannical regimes. This cultural association also feeds into the mid-summer festivals as the women weave the flower-filled crowns and people collect herbal teas to ward off illness over the winter. These biodiverse havens are under threat, as they are neglected or replaced with improved grasslands with their higher yields but lower diversity.

1) The document discusses research into how social and intellectual capital contribute to collective environmental action through Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund (CSFF) groups in the UK.
2) Key findings indicate that while CSFF funding aims to develop social capital, most knowledge sharing currently occurs between members with close ties, and there is limited evidence of collective environmental action.
3) Continued support is needed to strengthen relationships, facilitate knowledge exchange across different actor groups, and provide funding to enable CSFF groups to deliver landscape-scale environmental improvements over time.The potential for local governance of the rural environment: A case study in ...
The potential for local governance of the rural environment: A case study in ...Countryside and Community Research Institute
Professor Ian Hodge's seminar for the CCRI on 24th October 2022.
There are two emergent movements in the governance of rural land: voluntary and local government initiatives that assess, plan and enhance landscape and biodiversity and a largely separate central government initiative for the development of Environmental Land Management (ELM) schemes as a key element of national agricultural policy. This is developed and implemented by central government with a relatively large budget.
These two movements should be better integrated through the development of a system of Local Environmental Governance Organisations (LEGOs). A LEGO would stand as a ‘trustee’ with a remit to protect and enhance the quality of the local environment in the long term. It can assemble evidence on natural capital, co-ordinate amongst stakeholders and work with them to identify local priorities for nature recovery. It would search for synergies and collaborative partnerships and raise funds to support priority projects. A key point is that a proportion of central government funding should be devolved to LEGOs. This would link the vision being developed locally with the capacity to generate financial incentives for land managers to change land management.
Natural Cambridgeshire as the Local Nature Partnership is developing a number of the attributes of a LEGO. It is engaging with and appears to have support from a broad variety of stakeholders and is energising actions at several different levels. Through a local deliberative process, it can have a much clearer view of local opportunities and priorities than can be possible via central government. Natural Cambridgeshire has begun to raise funds but the likelihood is that this is will be too little, relatively short term and unsystematic. Longer term core funding would give Natural Cambridgeshire the capacity to back up proposals with financial support, potentially matching funding from other sources. It would then need to monitor and audit the implementation of projects and report on expenditure and outcomes. Over time it would adopt an adaptive approach to respond to outcomes and changing threats and opportunities.
National government needs to establish a framework for the development and operation of a system of LEGOs. It would continue to act in support of national standards, both through regulation and investment to meet international commitments, such as for biodiversity and climate change.

Local food marketing in Bristol and Oslo: Same but differentCountryside and Community Research Institute
The presentation will give a brief overview of the 'UrbanFarmer' project and its various facets, including the integration of a cohort of Norwegian farmers and agricultural research organisations in the co-production of applied knowledge.
The main thrust of the presentation will be to present similarities and differences in the way that food in short food supply chains is marketed through different farm enterprise business models, and different sales channels. Differences in policy backdrops and other, related, contexts which help or hinder urban marketing through short food supply chains concluding with some ideas of emerging recommendations will also be explored.
Dr Anna Birgitte Milford is a researcher at Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, working on topics related to sustainable food production and consumption, including organic/pesticide reduced fruit and veg production, local sales channels and climate friendly diets. She was a visiting scholar at CCRI, University of Gloucestershire in autumn 2021 conducting field research on urban agriculture and local sales channels in Bristol.
Dr Dan Keech is a Senior Research Fellow at CCRI, University of Gloucestershire. His research topics cover European urban and alternative food networks, Anglo-German cultural geography and trans-disciplinary methods which link art and social science.Damian Maye - Seminar 29 September 2022

This document contains a presentation on research into bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and the related controversy over badger culling in the UK. The presentation discusses the research gap around understanding disease management practices and controversies. It outlines an ethnographic methodology to study multiple perspectives on the issue. Key findings include observations from badger culling operations and protests against culling, as well as results from a citizen science study on bTB prevalence in dead badgers. The presentation emphasizes how disease management practices shape understandings of disease and that controversies can foster alternative perspectives.Urban Sustainability - Nature-based solutions and ecosystem services
Urban Sustainability - Nature-based solutions and ecosystem servicesCountryside and Community Research Institute
Presentation given by Dr Alessio Russ 8th July for CCRI seminar series.
Over the last few decades, the school of thought surrounding the urban ecosystem has increasingly become in vogue among researchers worldwide. Since half of the world’s population lives in cities, urban ecosystem services have become essential to human health and wellbeing. Rapid urban growth has forced sustainable urban developers to rethink important steps by updating and, to some degree, recreating the human–ecosystem service linkage. This talk addresses concepts and metaphors such as nature-based solutions and wellbeing, ecosystem services, nature-based thinking, urban regeneration, urban agriculture, urban-rural interface, rewilding.Planning for the future of onshore wind and solar farm

Going the Extra Mile in Monitoring and Evaluation – the GEM Story
Going the Extra Mile in Monitoring and Evaluation – the GEM StoryCountryside and Community Research Institute
The Going the Extra Mile (GEM) project aims to help people overcome challenges to employment and move closer to or into work. An evaluation team from the University of Gloucestershire conducted extensive monitoring and evaluation of GEM using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Process evaluations found that GEM provided innovative, relevant support during the pandemic. Outcomes evaluations found improvements in areas like skills, confidence and social connections. A social return on investment model estimated £2.50 returned for every £1 invested in GEM. Inclusive evaluation methods like digital storytelling captured personal impact stories. The evaluation aims to inform the design of any successor to GEM.Evaluating the Innovative Farmers Programmes
