SUMMARY:October - Phenology and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Fall is such a lovely time of year to pay attention to seasonal changes like migrating birds\, colorful leaves\, and insects taking their last flights in the cooling days. This month at ALNC\, we’d like to encourage you to visit our exhibits and grounds\, learn about Earth’s cycles and phenology\, and use some fun new technology to observe and record the world around you. You and your family can have fun with phenology – explore a variety of nature records and techniques\, practice on our grounds\, and find the style that works for you. Bring a smart phone\, use our touchscreens\, or even make a nature journal to assist as you collect data and explore! \n \n  \nPrograms: \nSiftr – Front Desk\nAt ALNC\, we are constantly striving to find inventive new ways to engage students and visitors in exploring the outdoors. We invite you to help us use and test Siftr\, a new field-based learning program accessible from your smart phone or tablet. Stop at the front desk for more information! \nPhenology Scavenger Hunt – Front Desk/Exhibit Touchscreens\nCreated in conjunction with students in UW’s Nelson Institute\, this scavenger hunt introduces you to the concepts of phenology (observing and recording nature) and how to look for plant and animal species you may find on our grounds. Then\, enter your observations into our phenology database on the Exhibit Floor Touchscreens! Visit the front desk for more information. \nPhenology – Nina Leopold Bradley Family Phenology Center\nAldo Leopold is known for the meticulous nature records he kept throughout his life. He involved his family in this practice\, and together\, they observed and recorded the emergence of dozens and dozens of species each year on their land in Baraboo\, WI. Here\, his daughter\, Nina Leopold Bradley\, talks about her father and their phonological records – and what these nature journals have taught them about climate change in Wisconsin. \nPhoto Phenology – “Current Climate News” Exhibit Touchscreen\nFor one year\, ALNC naturalist Betsy Parker went to the same location in the UW Arboretum (between 8:30 and 9:30am) each week and took a picture and recorded 20 seconds of sound. See them now\, all strung together\, in seven minutes. Watch the seasons change and hear the sounds evolve. \nLoop – Science on a Sphere\nNature is full of circles and cycles. Learn about circulation and what is going on in the world around you – your scientific curiosity will be compelled and creative exploration inspired! \nNature Journals – Nina Leopold Bradley Family Phenology Center\nAldo Leopold said\, “keeping records enhances the pleasure of the search.” Learn about Leopold and his record-keeping and make your own journals to get you started with your own phenology! \nGuided Nature Hikes – Hike our grounds with a naturalist to learn about changes in wildlife and the landscape at ALNC throughout October. Inquire about guided hikes at the front desk (hikes are dependent on naturalist staff availability). \n

SUMMARY:November 2015: Blue Marble - Earth from Space
DESCRIPTION: \nThis month\, we celebrate our brand new Immersion Theater and NASA software by taking a step back to look at Earth from space. \nPlanet Earth is home to countless ecosystems\, overwhelming numbers of species\, and billions of people. It’s easy to think about the seemingly endless resources and the vast differences and diversity that cover our globe. But heading out into space and viewing things from another perspective\, we are reminded that our fragile planet is alone in the vast darkness of our Universe – it’s all we have\, and we’re all in this together! \nLooking at Earth from Space is a relatively new concept\, but something many in modern society take for granted. Visit ALNC’s exhibits this month to explore this perspective – view satellite data visuals and beautiful imagery in our new Immersion Theater and Science on a Sphere and check out other interactive Earth science displays and hands-on activities. Rekindle a deeper appreciation for our living and breathing planet; it is beautiful and fragile\, and it is our home. \nNovember Exhibit Programs: \nOur Pale Blue Dot – Science on a Sphere: In this Science on a Sphere production\, we imagine the sense of wonder and astonishment that\, decades ago\, occurred each time a ground-breaking image of Earth was returned from off-world. Humanity has always gazed upward to the stars. Now\, we are finally looking back. This new perspective seems to rekindle a deeper appreciation for our living and breathing planet. Movie length: 7:38 \nEarthCast – Kids Climate Cast: Broadcast yourself from around the globe in our green screen studio. \nGoogle Earth – Exhibit Touchscreens: Explore Earth – zoom in and out and get a new perspective with interactive Google Earth on our dynamic touchscreens! \nWater in the Anthropocene – Current Climate News Kiosk: Evidence is growing that our global footprint is now so significant we have driven Earth into a new geological epoch — the Anthropocene. Human activities such as damming and agriculture are changing the global water cycle in significant ways. This data visualization charts the global impact of humans on the planet. Run time: 3:51 \nBlue Marble Mix-and-Match – Phenology Center: Our planet is an interesting and beautiful place\, marked and shaped by the processes around us. As seen from Outer Space\, Earth’s surface carries scars caused by wind\, water\, fire\, and extraterrestrial forces. Can you match these NASA images with the category in which they belong? \n
