No full textThis resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a biology and ecology activity designed for seventh graders. In this activity, students learn about the destruction of coral reefs in Fiji through the lesson and videos, and then act as biologists making recommendations to the government on fishing permits. In completing the activity, students will:Construct an explanation for the patterns of interactions observed in different ecosystems in terms of the relationships among and between organisms and abiotic components of the ecosystem,Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for how resource availability, disease, climate and human activity affect individual organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems.The activity is divided into four sections that last five class periods. The prep guide includes materials needed, planning, key questions and concepts, and grading opportunities for each section of the activity.

Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Technician: Credit Certificate and A.S. Degree Outlines
No full textThe Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Technician program at De Anza College includes two pathways: an Associates in Science Degree and a Certificate of Achievement-Advanced. These documents include the 2024-2025 catalog description for each pathway. Both pathways are designed to prepare students for careers in prototype development and advanced manufacturing in industries like aerospace, medical, and consumer products. During program courses, students gain hands-on experience with CAD/CAM software, 3D printing (additive manufacturing), CNC machining (subtractive manufacturing), and materials analysis. Students also develop the skills needed to safely set up, operate, and inspect 3D printers and CNC machines, as well as to design, construct, and test prototypes. The A.S. degree is a minimum of 90 units and the Certificate is a minimum of 45 units. Each document includes a program description, program learning outcomes, requirements, and lists of courses.&nbsp
