Conservation
http://forces.si.edu/soils/
When it comes to change, the
Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has
got it covered. The online exhibitions of their
"Forces of Change" series covers the current changes
the world is facing, from sky to soil, and
everything in between. Exploring the world of soil
is the focus of "Dig It! The Secrets of Soil" and
visitors can start off by listening to a podcast of
a Bureau of Land Management soil scientist and the
Dig It! Exhibit developer. Look in the featured
topics section to explore, among other things, what
soil is, how it forms, how it stays alive, what
different types look like and where they are found.
Under the "For Educators" tab are activities that
extend the exhibit themes for use in the classroom
or at home. Visitors should be sure to take a look
at the "Wise Choices" section under the Exhibition
tab, to see what farmers, builders and entire
nations can do, and are doing, to save their soils

Backyard Buddies are the native animals that share our built-up
areas, waterways, backyards and parks. Backyard buddies
are also the people who value native animals and plants, and want to
protect and help them.
Sustaining Water, Easing Scarcity

Perhaps the most vivid example of the interaction of population growth, water
scarcity and international conflict is the vast basin of the Nile River in
northeastern Africa.

Egypt is concerned about what will happen when other countries like Ethiopia
begin to utilize their waters for hydroelectric power.

Reform: a first chapter
After 10 years, it was time. We could
not sit through another bullet-ridden,
brain-numbing student presentation. We
interviewed the kids. For them it was
just as bad.
So, with Senior Seminar research
presentations looming, about two months
ago we began our focus on change.
