Assignment: The World’s Energy Exploration The amount of energy available in the form of nonrenewable resources is finite. You can personally make a difference in making sure that the world continues to have enough energy to supply electricity to everyone who needs it. Today’s assignment is an opportunity to do research into ways that you can make an impact. Your research will focus on creating a plan that you want to present to one of the following: a) your family b) a club or team that you are a part of c) a community organization like your church or school The purpose of your plan is to see the world’s energy last a long time. There are a couple of categories to consider, such as different ways to do the following things: a) Use renewable resources (example: adding solar panels to a building) b) Conserve energy (example: reducing the amount of electricity used) c) Reduce, reuse, and recycle (example: planning a recycling drive) d) Add “green spaces” (example: growing vegetables in a garden) You need to find three websites related to your idea. Look for other individuals or groups that have accomplished a similar goal. Once you have found your websites, answer the following questions. Number each question and make sure to write your answers in complete sentences. 1. What project do you want to propose and who do you want to participate? 2. What are the three websites you found that helped you choose a project and/or described other people doing similar projects? 3. After reading their stories and thinking about your own ideas, describe your idea for your project. Think of your answer as your presentation of your idea to your group. Make sure to tell them what you want to accomplish and why it is important. 4. In your research, find a difficulty that others faced that you might need to consider. Explain the issue and how it might impact your plan. 5. Choose one story from your research that you found most inspiring. Share a quotation and explain why this was meaningful.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which a particular gene does not make protein the way that it otherwise normally would. Given that cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder, how would an individual most likely contract this disease?

Memories of a Memory
Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.
