This unique collection contains a journal article that explains the process for students who would like to be active scientists by reporting collected data to NOAA. Several websites are reviewed and included that would support students in the collection and interpretation of data not only on the Walrus, but current data on the climatic conditions where these land mammals inhabit. An engaging, student inquiry activity from the book, "Climate Change" is also included.

Finding Planets

This article describes an activity that explains how to find planets around other stars where the bright glare from a star interferes with seeing a tiny planet. Article includes both illustrations and algebra that would challenge students below a senior high school level. This is a good example of how astronomers go about finding those tiny planets.
