    http://www.sciencecases.org/sci_bios/handout.html
    
    Extractions: October 3 rd th Each group will pick one of the following molecular biologist or biochemists or choose another scientist and have it approved by the instructor. Only one group per scientist so if you have a particular one you want, let me know early and I'll save it for you. [CHOSEN LIST Of SCIENTISTS GOES HERE] Then your group will research this person to find out their educational background, when and where they did their research, what specific scientific contribution they made and any other specific tidbits about them. I suggest that you split up the tasks within your group and come back with the information for everyone to share. You can check your textbook, Who's Who in Science and information online, but there are also a couple of more historical books on reserve in the library that might be useful. You can also try to get a copy of one of their research articles. Each person should bring back to the discussion class the information they have found out about the group's scientist. It would be easiest to have this written or typed out and copied for each person in the group. For the first half hour, the groups should compare these notes and exchange information. Then all the groups will come together and share with the whole discussion class what they found out about their scientist for about 5-7 minutes each. You will likely not be able to tell everything you found out, but maybe just some interesting highlights or particularly unusual fact that you found about them.

Early on in his career he specialized in designing expert systems, with a particular focus on the role of such systems in the larger context of the total work process. Today he believes that technology designers need a deep understanding of how people work in practice, before they even attempt to develop technology for people. His research in the last ten years has focused on computational modeling and simulation techniques for understanding how people work in practice. In technical terms we call this work practice modeling and simulation. He beliefs that through modeling the practice and context in which work occurs, software designers will have a better understanding of people and software systems might become better equipped in assisting people, while enhancing people's work life. Our field test in this mission is applying some of this research and testing it in the harsh reality, of yet ill-defined practices, of planetary EVAs.

    Extractions: Senior 2 Science (20S) curriculum . As it sits now, the curriculum is in draft form with approximately 18 pilot programs in progress. This curriculum is viewed by many as a prescription for our failing international science standing (Canadian students placed ninth when the International Assessment of Educational Progress studied 13-year-olds in 15 countries during 1990-1991), as well as a means of addressing the increasing aversion our students have to science and the overwhelming "scientific illiteracy" in the general public. There are two ways Internet resources can be used with the new Senior 2 Science: as a teaching resource and as a learning resource. Teacher Resources The Senior 2 Science Appendix has a section called " Internet Primer " . The primer is a novice and more experienced users' brief guide to the internet. It includes:

    Extractions: Q: Where can I find biographies on the Internet and in books? A : Hello, There are many biography resources, including Web sites, books and encyclopedias. Some biography resources focus on all kinds of famous people, and others focus on people related to a certain subject or group of people (e.g., astronauts, presidents, African-Americans). You can choose which resources to use depending on the person you are studying. To find biography sites on the Internet, I used sites that were suggested by other KidsConnect volunteers. When you are looking for the biography of a specific person, you can use a search engine such as Alta Vista (altavista.digital.com) and type: +biography +"[person's name]" example: +biography +"Maya Angelou" GENERAL BIOGRAPHY SITES 1.

    Extractions: Welwitschia has always fascinated me, a desert tree, it has only two leaves that grow throughout its life and that can be thousands of years.My interest in this remarkable plant was revived when my cousin told me how on a recent trip to Namibia she drove many miles to see Welwitschia plants and that they looked like a heap of dead flax. This was by no means disapointing as she had become interested in the adaptations of the plants and animals to the desert. Welwitschia is suberbly adapted to its harsh environment, its large trunk reaches down many meters into the sand and its torn leaves have grooves that collect any available moisture from the frequent fogs. Where does Welwitschia mirabilis fit into the plant scheme of things? - it is a gymnosperm, the same group as the conifers and gingko, but is in an order and family all its own.There is a chapter on Welwitschia in Ancient trees : trees that live for 1000 years The strangest plants in the world by S. Talalaj Ebsco.
