Exploring the foundations of science interest development in early childhood

Creator:: Pattison, Scott A.
Abstract:: There is growing evidence that children develop science-related interests in early childhood, before they enter school, and that these interests may have long-term implications for science participation and achievement. Although researchers have made headway in describing interest development in the preschool years, little is currently known about the proximal processes...

"Identity in the making" in an adolescent new media maker experience : the role of interest, figured worlds, and use of authentic tools and practices

Creator:: Wyld, Jennifer N.
Abstract:: Human development researchers consider adolescence a rich time for interest development and identity exploration. A relatively new movement in the Free-Choice Learning (FCL) arena, the Maker movement, offers learners interest-driven, experiential, often collaborative, and process-oriented activities ranging from game design (computer-based and otherwise) and robotics, to sewing LEDs into clothing...

Defining one’s role in citizen science: an exploration of the roles, perceptions and outcomes of participation in citizen science activities

Creator:: Clarke, Karl
Abstract:: Citizen science (formally public participation in science research) has emerged in recent years as an innovative and interactive tool for engaging many diverse groups in science and research. Defined as the collaboration of science professionals and the public in science research, citizen science has tremendously improved the reach of science....

Evaluation of effectiveness of Rhizobium trifolii strains for Trifolium subterraneum L. (subterranean clover) in southwestern Oregon soils

Creator:: Kibbey, Heather Jean
Abstract:: Twelve high effective Rhizobium trifolii strains were evaluated at four locations in southwest Oregon for the ability to effectively nodulate Mount Barker subterranean clover. All twelve strains possessed antibiotic resistance markers to facilitate identification of strains when extracted from nodules. No significant differences in plant dry weight means could be...

The Challenges and Opportunities of a Proactive Endangered Species Act : A Case Study of the Greater Sage Grouse

Creator:: Taylor, Casey Lynn
Abstract:: The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) is considered by many to be among the most powerful and most contentious environmental laws in the United States. Persistent challenges to the Act’s implementation make reaching conservation goals problematic. Most notably, the very nature of the law—providing protections for species already at...

Are Families Talking about Conservation at Live Animal Exhibits? Analyzing Family and Professional Conservation Discourse

Creator:: Rowe, Susan Roberta M.
Abstract:: Zoos, aquariums and other free-choice/informal education settings offer the public opportunities to interact with live animals in exhibits through animal encounters and/or touch experiences designed to carry a conservation mission. Many of these institutions are accredited by the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the World Association of...

The Global S₁ Tide

Creator:: Ray, Richard D. and Egbert, Gary D.
Abstract:: The small S₁ ocean tide is caused primarily by diurnal atmospheric pressure loading. Its excitation is therefore unlike any other diurnal tide; in particular, pressure loading is maximum near the equator where the diurnal gravitational potential is zero. The global character of the S₁ tide is here determined by numerical...
