Digital Curation Assignment - Sports by Caleb Templo https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g Sports themed biology, chemistry, physics, and climate change en-us 2018-06-12 15:40:04 UTC 2023-05-20 12:13:26 UTC hello@padlet.com #1 Virginia Tech Testing Hockey Helmets 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266928526 Demonstrate scientific investigation skills in four areas: initiating and planning, performing and recording, analyzing and interpreting and communicating. - This video relates to this main idea because the people testing the helmets have to demonstrate their scientific investigation skills. Although the video does not show it, to start their process, they would have to initiate and plan how their going to test the helmets. The main portion of the video is them performing (hitting the helmets) and recording (the lady writing down the results of each helmet). The analyzing and interpreting and communicating part is not shown in the video as well, but it is implied that their analysis will be communicated to team equipment managers.]]> 2018-06-13 01:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266928526 #2 Andrew Tucker, MD, Studies Helmets for Football 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266930079 Identify and describe a variety of careers related to the fields of science under study, and identify scientists, including Canadians, who have made contributions to those fields. - Andrew Tucker, Chair of the NFL General Medical Committee, realized that helmets and studied how reduce the risk of concussions and severe brain injuries. This relates to this main idea because he studied the helmet’s impact on concussions, which contributed to NFL players’ safety.]]> 2018-06-13 01:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266930079 #3 Career: Professional Basketball Player 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266931520 Plants and animals, including humans, are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are organized into systems. - To be a professional player in the NBA, being bigger, stronger, and taller can be an advantage. The average height of an average American is 5ft and 9.3 in., while the average height of an NBA player is 6ft and 7in.. This relates to the main idea because everyone has different DNA. DNA plays a huge role in size and strength, as it determines your height, size, and strength (although they can be altered).]]> 2018-06-13 02:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266931520 #4 Evolution of Steroids 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266931734 Developments in medicine and medical technology can have social and ethical implications. - Steroid, a type of medicine, that causes the human body to produce more protein, has caused controversy in the sports world. It relates to this big idea because, like all medicine, steroids are evolving and developing, making them have stronger effects. The usage of steroids has been labelled as “unethical” as it’s a way for athletes to cheat in competitions.]]> 2018-06-13 02:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266931734 #7 Whey Protein - Amino Acids 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266939669 Chemicals react with each other in predictable ways. - Whey Protein is a protein powder used in protein shakes after workouts, by many athletes. It relates to the big idea because of the amino acids in the powder. The acids are made by chemicals reacting with each other in a predictable way. The end result, and the chemical structure of a general amino acid was drawn by me (below).]]> 2018-06-13 03:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/266939669 #8 Career: F1 Drivers 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267056638 Chemical reactions may have a negative impact on the environment, but they can also be used to address environmental challenges. - F1 drivers are the professional racers that compete in a race involving 20 cars going at high speeds. F1 drivers relate to the big idea because of the chemical reactions that happen in the car. The cars release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, that go into the atmosphere, which is a cause of global warming. Therefore, F1 races negatively impact the environment.]]> 2018-06-13 17:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267056638 #5 Prescription Sports Glasses 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267056806 Light has characteristics and properties that can be manipulated with mirrors and lenses for a range of uses. - Prescription sports glasses were made for athletes that wore prescription glasses, so their glasses would not fall off during their activity. These relate to this big idea as it acts exactly like prescription glasses, as they both use lenses to manipulate light rays different ways (depending on the degree of your near/farsightedness).]]> 2018-06-13 17:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267056806 #12 Career: Olympians - Recognizing That Climate Change is a Problem 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267071539 People have the responsibility to assess their impact on climate change and to identify effective courses of action to reduce this impact. - Although these are Olympians, they don’t just have to “shut up and dribble”, or in this case “shut up and ski”. This article relates to the big idea because it talks about how these Olympians realize humanity’s impact on the environment, and that they need to do address the situation now, before they lose their slopes to global warming.]]> 2018-06-13 18:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267071539 #6 Career: NHL Situation Room 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267083585 Society has benefited from the development of a range of optical devices and technologies. - People that work in the NHL Situation Room get to decide whether an NHL player has scored or not, when the referees are unsure of the call. This relates to the main idea because they use high definition cameras that help them make their decisions. Before these cameras were made and implemented, the NHL would not be able to make 100% accurate calls. The development of these cameras has benefited the NHL and society greatly.]]> 2018-06-13 20:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267083585 #11 Outdoor Rinks Melting With Rising Temperatures 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267084166 Climate change affects living things and natural systems in a variety of ways. - Outdoor rinks are usually where professional hockey players practiced in their own time. The freezing point of water is 0°C, so it would need to be around -10°C constantly, for the ice to be safe to skate on. This relates to the main idea because of the change of climate in Canada. The average temperature of winter is rising, causing the “outdoor rink season” to shorten. ]]> 2018-06-13 20:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267084166 #10 Reducing the Ecological Footprint of Sports 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267084494 Global climate change is influenced by both natural and human factors. - The article talks about sports’ negative impact on the environment, and how they can minimize it. It states that sports affect the environment by “Building and managing a sport facility and operating an event uses energy and can contribute to air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation, as well as to ozone-layer depletion, habitat and biodiversity loss, soil erosion and water pollution.” . It relates to the idea because the article also talks about how the London Olympic Games were the greenest, as they minimized their footprint, resulting in less human factors.]]> 2018-06-13 20:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267084494 #9 Traffic Jams Due to Sports 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267084972 Earth’s climate is dynamic and is the result of interacting systems and processes. - Downtown Toronto is an example of a traffic jam waiting to happen. Whenever the Toronto Raptors, Maple Leafs, or Blue Jays are playing, traffic jams usually occur. This relates to the big idea because of how the cars interact with the carbon cycle. The usage of these cars increase the amount of carbon in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the greenhouse gas effect to increase, resulting in global warming.]]> 2018-06-13 20:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267084972 Introduction 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267090961 The theme that I have chose to relate to SNC2DG’s big ideas are sports. I decided to base my curation of my passion for sports, and because several sports/sports related careers can relate to biology, chemistry, physics, and climate change’s big ideas, giving me a wider selection for items. For organization, I decided to organize my items based on what they relate to. What I mean by this is that if I have an item that relates to biology, it will be placed before an item that relates to chemistry as biology was taught to us first. The items will mostly be relating to what we learned in the course, which was how to perform a scientific investigation; the cells, tissues, and organs of an organism; how different chemicals react with each other; how lenses and mirrors work; and, the natural and human factors that cause climate change.]]> 2018-06-13 21:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267090961 Bibliography 340766500 https://padlet.com/340766500/oipnhennai4g/wish/267101568 America, D. 1.
