Consider these discussion questions based on chapters 3 - 4 (SEE ATTACHEMENT FILES) and answer at least TWO of them, and reply to at least four other students (2ND PAGE)' answers or questions with answers of your own or pose questions for them to reply to. You could also add your own questions to any of the topics within each question; if you don't understand something, ask others to answer your question. In other words be actively engaged with not only my questions but the answers and questions others provide.
1) Comment on the contributions of the Mayans, Aztecs, Celtic Druids, Chinese and other people to Astronomy and our understanding of the universe. What did they invent and think of that surprises and amazes you? What other cultures do you know about and what did they do and invent that inspires and amazes you? How about other ancient Astronomers such as Ptolemy, Eratosthenes and Aristarchus. What did you learn
Option 1 (meanings): Lila Abu-Lughod (author of Veiled Sentiments) and Sarah Tobin (author of Everyday Piety) both discuss the various meanings behind veiling in the places they studied. Summarize these meanings, and compare and contrast them to one another. One thing to consider as you are comparing and contrasting is the following question: is veiling just one small part of a larger set of behaviors that are expected of women, or is it considered to be particularly important? (250 words minimum for an A).
Each paper must have 8 research sources and students are encouraged to use at least one primary source such as a contemporary newspaper or magazine article, government document, annual report etc. Texts and other course readings may be used as sources but they must be cited to count as an essay source. Additional information on how to write an essay will be posted in an organizational blueprint on the course website. The cover page, end notes and bibliography will not count in the required length of the essay.
2. You will write a paper describing the topics you chose. I'm not overly worried about length, four double-spaced pages is probably enough. I will be looking for in-depth research with thoughtful discussion. I'll collect a rough draft around week 9 and return it to you with comments. The final draft will be due on finals week.
Note that this is a research paper! You will need to go to the library and use the internet to find sources. Newspaper articles, books, research papers, websites, magazines are all viable sources. A big part of this is learning to use the library resources, so take your time with that. You will need to cite your sources based on a convention. i.e: MLA convention https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/ (Links to an external site.)
Find 2 sources that are in favor of using the technology on a large scale and 2 sources that are opposed. For each source:
Summarize the arguments made by the source

Write a 5-page Final Project Paper that reflects a science topic of interest to you. Now that you have had a chance to become a citizen scientist, in this module you will delve deeper into wildlife, soil, and/or water quality topics of your choosing. You will write a 5-page final paper that reflects and connects to a topic of interest to you.
Your 5-page paper should reflect the scientific process or method whether you build upon your observations and experiments from any of the prior modules or explore urban ecology topics such as urban wildlife, water quality or soil composition. In addition, the paper should include the role of humans in the topic.
NOTE: Please be sure to have a minimum of 5 scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources and a maximum of two popular sources.
All papers should follow the scientific process or method or all papers should contain all components of the scientific process or method.
Sources should be scholarly ref

2. Discuss IN DETAIL the various drivers for animal identification and traceability.
3. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of compliance vs compliance plus?
4. What are ALL of the ISO standards affiliated with low frequency RFID? Hint: There are more than 2. Explain why ISO standards are important?
5. If you were to implement an on farm electronic animal ID system, discuss all of the necessary components that would be needed to accomplish it.
6. Discuss the concern that auction markets have with respect to ADT?

Final project description: Geoscience Goes Local (Texas)
Write a paper exploring a problem or challenge in Texas, that could affect or influence you in some way, and that directly relates to an Earth or environmental science topic. You must explore your topic in several ways: (1) through your own personal reflection, (2) through journalism articles (you must cite at least three media articles that are directly relevant to your topic. You should also suggest and explore two possible ways to solve, improve, or mitigate the problem.
The paper needs to be 1500-2000 words long; this corresponds to about 4-5 pages (12 point font, 1.5 line spacing). No more than of the length should be a straight summary of the journalism articles; the rest should be your thoughts on the topic.
I define local community broadly: It could be your home town or neighborhood, but could also be your state or region. However you define your community, the most impo
You must read minimum five environmental health research articles from different peer-reviewed journals about one specific environmental health problem/threat (i.e., Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, American Journal of Public Health, and Environmental Health Perspectives) and choose minimum three articles to write about. Focus on original research work. Maximum one research comparison paper can be used. Be sure, you have read full scholarly papers and not just the abstracts. News articles, press releases, and consumer information such as WebMD or Wikipedia are not appropriate. The articles must be published after January 2010.
In 10 pages (minimum 2,000 words), 1.5 spaced, Times New Roman size 12 font paper (in APA style) try

What health problem does the article discuss?
What issue (i.e. polluted lake water, air or soil) does the article say is related to the health problem?
What is th
1. Photo - images and diagrams that represent your environmental pollution.
2. Description - what is your environmental pollution so that anyone can recognize it (i.e.
what does it look like in the environment, danger signs, etc.)
3. Environmental Pollutions information- How is the pollution created (source) and how
does it spread to attack the environment?
4. The culprits hideout - Any regions where the pollution is highly evident.
5. Most common victims it preys upon - How does it affect the environment?
6. Is it armed and dangerous? - How dangerous is the environmental pollution to human
health?
7. Most effective weapon against the pollution - what are some possible solutions to the
pollution problem?
