| In this website a student
investigator will be able to read about the country of Iceland. Iceland
will be introduced through five different scientific perspectives:
geography, environment, climate, flora, and fauna. These particular
perspectives are introduced because they contain specific factors that
make the country scientifically unique.
This narrative is intended to
provide a basic overview of Iceland so that a student investigator has
some prior background knowledge about the scientific perspectives of the
country prior to being introduced to the group study.
In the Research Science I
Honors 2007 Group Study,
students will participate in a collaborative
research investigation using data collected by a team of scientists led by
Research Science teacher, Erin Colfax, on an expedition to Iceland in the
summer of 2007. The objective of this project is for students and
educators to partake in an investigation of Iceland, where poetry is used
as a means of describing the environment by incorporating quantitative and
qualitative data. This project is intended to formulate a connection
between literature and science and attempts to prove that poetry that
incorporates quantitative and qualitative data can increase one’s
understanding of scientific information. |
