  biomes of the world worksheet: Ellavut / Our Yup'ik World and Weather Ann Fienup-Riordan, Alice Rearden, 2013-08-27 Ellavut / Our Yup'ik World and Weather is a result of nearly ten years of gatherings among Yup'ik elders to document the qanruyutet (words of wisdom) that guide their interactions with the environment. In an effort to educate their own young people as well as people outside the community, the elders discussed the practical skills necessary to live in a harsh environment, stressing the ethical and philosophical aspects of the Yup'ik relationship with the land, ocean, snow, weather, and environmental change, among many other elements of the natural world. At every gathering, at least one elder repeated the Yup'ik adage, The world is changing following its people. The Yup'ik see environmental change as directly related not just to human actions, such as overfishing or burning fossil fuels, but also to human interactions. The elders encourage young people to learn traditional rules and proper behavior--to act with compassion and restraint--in order to reverse negative impacts on their world. They speak not only to educate young people on the practical skills they need to survive but also on the knowing and responsive nature of the world in which they live.

  biomes of the world worksheet: Biodiversity Integrated Assessment and Computation Tool | B-INTACT – Guidelines Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations , 2021-02-19 Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an unprecedented rate across the planet putting a great number of species on the brink of extinction. A decline in the plants, animals, and microorganisms threatens food security, sustainable development, and the supply of vital ecosystem services. In order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, there is an urgent need to take action to halt biodiversity loss and consequently ecosystem degradation. Since the introduction of the Aichi targets, released by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2010, the United Nations have been empowered with greater influence on decision-making impacting biodiversity. However, there was an urgent need for an easy-to-use tool to rapidly, yet effectively assess the impact on biodiversity posed by projects, programmes, and policies. As a timely response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed the Biodiversity Integrated Assessment and Computation Tool (B-INTACT). B-INTACT extends the scope of environmental assessments to capture biodiversity concerns, which are not accounted for in conventional carbon pricing. The tool is designed for users ranging from national investment banks, international financial institutions and policy decision-makers, and allows for a thorough biodiversity assessment of project-level activities in the Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use (AFOLU) sector. The second version of the guidelines includes additional information on how to use B-INTACT together with FAO's Earthmap platform and the Ecosystem Service Valuation Database.

  biomes of the world worksheet: Video-interventions Naďa Vondrová, 2021-01-01 The book deals with developing the concept of professional vision (noticing and knowledge-based reasoning) among future primary and secondary school teachers of Biology, Mathematics, English as a foreign language, Art, and Social Studies. Researching the use of video interventions during teacher-training programmes, the authors show that short-term interventions do not significantly improve professional vision, which is in contrast to student teachers’ perception of the practice. The book also uses case studies to uncover individual differences in student teachers’ learning, taking into account their various backgrounds and approaches. This is a valuable resource for teacher educators who are considering the incorporation of video-intervention courses into study programmes and for researchers interested in the development of professional vision.

  biomes of the world worksheet: North America Waseca Biomes, 2015-05-27 This is the first installment of our new curriculum-supported books, designed as a new way for the children to work with the Waseca materials you already have! We created this book with the intention that every child in a classroom can have a portfolio of their own in which to collect their research, make maps, write journal entries and create art projects, while working on a study of a continent. The activities and research projects prompt the child to use the North American biome and animal cards for reference, and the stories tie back into and expand upon the information introduced in our cards. The journey begins in the Temperate Forest of North America with Abram from Pennsylvania Amish country; from there we travel to the Grasslands of Iowa, and on to the Wetlands of Louisiana. We then meet Otilda in the Tropical Forest of Panama, continue to the Deserts of New Mexico, the Mountains of Alberta Canada and conclude with Oki, an Inuit boy from the Polar Regions of Alaska. Every chapter begins with meeting a native of that biome who hosts the reader in their home and guides them on their adventures. The chapters include a combination of activities that explore both the cultural and natural elements of each biome with integrated lessons that challenge the child's math, research, art and map skills. Created with and for children ages 5-10 to challenge their reading skills and encourage their sense of wonder.
