Project-Based Learning As Situated Practice, Sandra Jeane Rice

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project was to explore the dynamics of project based learning (PBL) methodology and how this approach intersects with situated learning and aspects of adult identity negotiation, an important issue in second language acquisition. Another purpose of this thesis is to assess the effectiveness of PBL for adult learners by reviewing literature related to PBL and presenting data that was collected in the context of a PBL project carried out by adult ESL students.

Presumpscot River Watershed Cd Resource Guide For Teachers, A Product Of The Presumpscot River Targeted Watershed Initiative Grant, Robert M. Sanford Phd, Sarah Plummer, Rosemary Mosher, Matthew Craig

Publications

Overview

This CD resource guide accompanies a series of maps made available to teachers1 for educational use. The maps cover basic geographical data within the Presumpscot watershed in southern Maine, including past and present settlement patterns, dam location, population density, surface water quality classifications, and amount of land that has been paved over or built upon (impervious surfaces). Scientists, scholars, conservation experts, land use managers, and the public use such maps to understand resource issues and help make better decisions about them. This CD provides opportunities for students to explore environmental issues in their own watershed using a Geographic Information …

Genome Size As A Predictor Of Guard Cell Length In Arabidopsis Thaliana Is Independent Of Environmental Conditions, Barry H. Lomax, F. Ian Woodward, Ilia J. Leitch, Charles A. Knight, Janice A. Lake

Biological Sciences

• The recent discovery of a strong positive relationship between angiosperm genome size and stomatal guard cell length (GCL) opens the possibility of using plant fossil guard cell size as a proxy for changes in angiosperm genome size over periods of environmental change.
• The responses of GCL to environmental stimuli are currently unknown and may obscure this predictive relationship.
• Here, we investigated the effects of environmental variables (atmospheric CO₂, drought, relative humidity, irradiance, ultraviolet radiation and pathogen attack) on GCL in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to quantify environmentally induced variation.
• GCL responded to all …
