The Geospatial Revolution is going 3D. Immersive technologies such as Oculus Rift, Samsung GearVR, HTC Vive, are revolutionizing how places and data are viewed and analyzed. Instead of interacting with data on a 2D desktop screen, researchers and decision makers can immerse themselves in virtual environments where geospatial data are represented in intuitive, immersive, and flexible ways. VR and 3D modeling are going hand in hand; with the ready availability of massive amounts of environmental data (e.g., LiDAR) and efficient 3D modeling technologies (e.g., SketchUp, CityEngine), realistic immersive scenarios are easier to create than ever before. We are witnessing a paradigm shift which enables new methods of environmental decision making from urban planning to climate change. The combination of iVR and automated 3D modeling enables models of real-world places to be integrated within data visualization workbenches. This course will provide students with an overview of current developments, details different workflows that are available, and provides hands-on experiences with 3D modeling and VR technologies.

Discussion with students regarding electives offer students the opportunity to pursue an interest they already have or explore an interest that is new to them. The hope is for student’s elective course requests to align with their academic and career goals (I.e. if a student wants to be an accountant, they request the accounting class at HHS; if a student wants to be a nurse, they request the CNA course).

In this lesson, students learn what plants need to grow and survive: water and sunlight. Students will conduct an experiment to grow seeds in different environments and light conditions. One seed will be in sunlight while the other will be in complete darkness. Seeds will be placed in small cups of dirt and placed in the appropriate lighting condition. For the next couple of days students will compare their sunlight seed to their partners darkness seed and watch what happens. Students will discuss their findings as a class.

"He shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
— Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution
The U.S. Constitution states that the President of the United States shall "from time to time" deliver an address to the Congress. The word "deliver" was interpreted differently from president to president, with George Washington doing so orally and in person, while Thomas Jefferson decided to have a letter delivered to Congress. Over time, however, presidents have needed and chosen to be in communication with the American public on a more regular basis. From telegraphs to television to Twitter, how, why, and when presidents address the nation and global community has changed across U.S. history. This lesson examines the messages and mediums used by presidents and asks students to engage in point of view and change over time analyses as part of their evaluation. Analyze presidential addresses in order to create inquiry questions for research and discussion. Why do presidents deliver a State of the Union Address? How have changes in technology affected how presidents communicate with the public and how the public communicates with a president? To what extent do presidential addresses provide opportunity to develop civic and media literacy skills? Analyze print and digital media sources to interpret motivations, messaging, and audience for presidential addresses. Create a position statement on an issue that considers messaging, setting, means of communication, and audience.

Completing these activities will guide you through satisfying Life Science standards 1 & 2. For this assignment, you will look at a protein and find out how DNA specifies that it is made. To explain how DNA determines structure, you will look at a genetic disease that is based on the function of a protein and then check out how it’s linked to the genetic structure and inheritance.

Observations inspire scientific questions and drive discoveries. In this activity, students will watch a visualization of empirical scientific data to explore seasonal changes in primary productivity on the earth. They will then formulate and research their own scientific questions about primary productivity on the earth and present their research in a classroom scientific poster session.
