In this series of activities students investigate the effects of black carbon on snow and ice melt in the Arctic. The lesson begins with an activity that introduces students to the concept of thermal energy and how light and dark surfaces reflect and absorb radiant energy differently. To help quantify the relationship between carbon and ice melt, the wet lab activity has students create ice samples both with and without black carbon and then compare how they respond to radiant energy while considering implications for the Arctic.

Watch a video that explains how to write a comparison/contrast essay. Print a document to accompany the video for more practice. Comparison/contrast essays help you learn really efficiently, because they present information in a way our brains like. When we see something new, we want to know how it's similar to something we already know about, and how it's different, too. Let's say that you need to buy a car. When you look at the different models, you'll compare what's similar and different between the models. When a cell phone manufacturer comes up with a new model, they tell you what great features the phone has that people have liked before (the similarities) and what fantastic new features it has that help it stand out (the differences).

This project, which started in May 2021, has a duration of two years ending last April 2023. DITMEP project aims to improve manufacturing learning, in particular Risk Prevention courses, generating digital capabilities on the methodology (through e-learning, gamification and augmented reality experiences) for educators and trainees. This supports and helps the transformation of manufacturing training aftermath of COVID-19. DITMEP has developed these blended courses for risk prevention with digital capabilities, in a transnational format solution for an innovative and reinforced education on composites manufacturing, which can be easily replicated at other sectors. The DITMEP project consortium is composed of 5 partners, from 3 different EU countries (Germany, Spain, Portugal). Partners come from the training center, university and certifier sectors to cover all aspects of training course development. The main objectives of the project are: • Training course deployment in an e-learning platform with a core syllabus on Risk Prevention and Health, prepared for its adaptation to the specific countries regulation. • Deployment of a common gamification methodology for Risk Prevention training modules • AR mobile application development to support 2 series of learning experiences proposed as part of the core training (virtual spaces signalisation and emergency drills). • To reinforce learners and teachers with digital capabilities: guides on how to use the materials, how to complement in-presence teaching and to develop on-line trainings. • Tools and methodology evaluation through pilot training implementations (in all 3 countries) with included tests for evaluation the procedures from the teachers/learners. Despite the corona pandemic, work in all work packages was able to start in May 2021. The fact that the topic of "digitization" has become extremely central nowadays motivates all project partners and shows that our research project has gained relevance again. The digital tools developed in this project will help to continue to provide high-quality training in the future. Our training course "Prevention of occupational hazards in composite manufacturing” consists of the two blocks "General Risks" and "Specific Risks in Composite manufacturing". The first block is divided into 3 units, the second block is divided into 5 units. Each unit will have its own theoretical part in which the trainee has to build up his knowledge. What you have learned can be applied in the practical part. For our “Personal Safety Equipment” and “Signalization” units, the practical part consists of AR tools, which we developed as part of the project. The theoretical part has been completed and translated into the respective languages of the consortium members (English, Spanish, German and Portuguese). All learning material are available on a Moodle platform and downloadable. The Moodle platform, the AR tools and the entire training course have been validated in pilot tests

The video is a documentation of the project's reached milestones, the great personal and work experiences we all gained during our international cooperation.It also shows how the work of everyone involved was still successfully concluded under the conditions of the Corona virus pandemic. Even if we where not able to manufacture & market our finalized product idea as planned, the skills we developed, shared and improved along the way are not less valuable.Now, enjoy the video and of course bear in mind ...“The European Commission support for the production of this publication does not constitute an endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.”

In this Webquest activity, students assume roles of scientist, business leader, or policy maker. The students then collaborate as part of a climate action team and learn how society and the environment might be impacted by global warming. They explore the decision making process regarding issues of climate change, energy use, and available policy options. Student teams investigate how and why climate is changing and how humans may have contributed to these changes. Upon completion of their individual tasks, student teams present their findings and make recommendations that address the situation.
