Concurrent Sessions 2c: Growing Sustainable Communities, Vincent Devito, Rebecca Davis, Peggy Sloan, Amy Kacala
Clean Energy Connections
Sustainable communities are an integral part of the clean energy economy - housing, jobs, innovation, growth. Several regions in Massachusetts were awarded Regional Sustainability Planning Grants in 2010 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, including the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, Metropolitan Area Planning Council, the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission and 2011 Preferred Sustainability Status holder, the Institute for Energy and Sustainability. Panelists from each agency will share how these plans will improve sustainability in Massachusetts communities, what we can learn from the similarities and differences of sustainability planning in each region and how groups and individuals …

Clean Energy Connections
This session (and live-streamed webinar) will be the culmination of a year (+) long project to coalesce clean energy innovators from business, labor, government, academia and community groups to take a snapshot of where we are, share information about our projects, think about strategies and tactics for the future, and re-energize ourselves for the work ahead in support of a robust clean energy industry in Massachusetts. Attendees at this session will hear about the key recurring themes, recommendations, conclusions born from the three summits in Lowell, New Bedford and Amherst, will hear about recent actions taken based on summit discussions, …

Digital cameras and computers are widely available for students and teachers. However, they are mainly used for documentation: creating PPT presentations, handouts, posters, etc. STEM DIGITAL shows how digital image analysis can be applied to environmental (and other) research in STEM courses. Application to studies of air quality, water quality, arsenic contamination, climate change, diffusion, etc.

Why are Polar Regions more affected by global warming than other parts of the globe? One reason (there are others) is that as sea ice melts and more open water appears, more energy is absorbed, and warming accelerates. This is a form of positive feedback and it makes the polar climate change faster than the climate in temperate areas. Increasing vegetation on land also has a similar positive feedback effect. This effect is a change in the albedo – the fraction of the incident sunlight that is reflected back to space.

Do Crayfish Change Color If Their Environment Changes? A Guided Inquiry Lab for 7th grade Life Science
Background: There is anecdotal evidence from bass fisherman that crayfish are able to change color depending on their surroundings. A (cursory) literature review of this phenomenon showed that no formal research has been done in this area. Students had an additional informal lesson about research funding (or lack thereof) because of this finding.
Students designed and conducted a controlled experiment to see the effect of changing environment color on crayfish color.
ADI was used to quantify a color change.
Human Variation In Skin Color And Race As A Social Construct, Jennifer Welborn
Human Variation In Skin Color And Race As A Social Construct, Jennifer Welborn
STEM Digital
This lesson is part of evolution unit which follows heredity and genetics
The lesson is interdisciplinary in nature in that I discuss the concept of race as a social construct and the idea that there are “black, white, red, yellow” skinned people is something that people developed. It is not based on biology. Race groupings are human-made groups.
Students first learn about mixing light and how to determine black and white from an ADI analysis. They learn that red and green = yellow, etc.
They then photograph each other’s forearms and analyze the images using ADI.
We then discuss skin …
