 ATTENDANCE:

This is a hybrid class and meets only seven times during the term. The meeting dates for Spring 2011 term are: 1/14; 1/21; 2/4; 2/25; 3/17; 4/8; 4/29. Each student must sign the roll sheet each class to be counted as attended. Each class attended is worth 2 hours of video credit.  For each class missed a student must watch 3 additional hours of video. (Student who can not regularly attend class will be contracted as a special student by the instructor and be required to complete 12 additional hours of video at home.)

 

During a non-hybrid semester this class meets for two hours per week for 16 weeks. Therefore actual hands-on lab time is about 30 hours, excluding the final exam week. Since North campus is limited with equipment, this class will focus on video which may be viewed at home with a few hands on experiences at the campus.

 

The student also has the option of completing this course through the online lab through the electronic campus. There are 10 hands-on experiments a student performs with written assignments and exams. Students have to buy or rent some of the equipment to complete the lab totally online. A student desiring this experience should transfer to the electronic college:

From the Earth to The Moon (1998) (HBO Films):

FromEarthToMoonCover

Originally broadcast in April and May of 1998, the epic miniseries From the Earth to the Moon was HBO's most expensive production to date, with a budget of $68 million. Hosted by executive producer Tom Hanks, the miniseries tackles the daunting challenge of chronicling the entire history of NASA's Apollo space program from 1961 to 1972. For the most part, it's a rousing success. Some passages are flatly chronological, awkwardly wedging an abundance of factual detail into a routine dramatic structure

. But each episode is devoted to a crucial aspect of the Apollo program. The cumulative effect is a deep and thorough appreciation of NASA's monumental achievement. With the help of a superlative cast, consistent writing, and a stable of talented directors, Hanks has shared his infectious enthusiasm for space exploration and the inspiring power of conquering the final frontier. NASA's complete participation in the production lends to its total authenticity, right down to the use of NASA equipment, launch locations, and even spacecraft. The re-creation of the lunar landscape is almost as impressive as the real thing and is further enhanced by the use of helium balloons to lighten the actors playing moon-walking astronauts. (These and other backstage details are revealed in the "making of" featurette, along with a wealth of supplemental materials, on a bonus disc in the miniseries' DVD package.) With a fictional, Walter Cronkite-like TV reporter (Lane Smith) serving as the dramatic link for all 12 episodes, this ambitious production may not be a great work of art. But as a generous and definitive example of nonfiction drama, it's full of the same kind of awe, inspiration, and humanity that led to "one giant leap" in the all-too-short history of 20th-century space exploration. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

This 12-hour HBO miniseries created by Tom Hanks garnered 17 Emmy nominations and captivated audiences. From the early stages of the space program and Kennedy's 1961 call to reach the moon within a decade to the successes and heartbreaking failures of the race for space, the dream was kept alive by dedicated, daring professionals and a nation intent on reaching for -- and landing amid -- the stars, all while the world faced the Vietnam War.

January 21: (Optional Gasoline Demand Project)

 

Energy Project: Gasoline Demand (Required for Nonlecture students):

 

   During the first week of class you need to fill your gasoline tank in your car. During course you will keep a record of all purchases of gasoline noting dates, price, amount, cost and odometer reading. During the last two weeks, you fill your tank again and record the data. You will determine:

                                          i.    The total miles driven; the Total gallons used; The total Cost.

                                        ii.    Then you will compute the average MPG and the average cost per mile for the gasoline.

                                       iii.    The instructor may add additional data for you to determine to complete this project including the total cost per mile to operate your car.

 

                                          And/or

 

Energy Project: Electrical Demand (Alternate to Gasoline if no car):

 

   The student will collect data on his/her or family’s primary electrical demand. The student will learn to read the electric meter. Each day for a month the student will read the meter and keep a spread sheet of the data include KWH used per day. The project should begin on the day JEA (or your power company) reads the meter and the one month later reads the meter again.

If possible the student should setup a monthly data spreadsheet on the KWH used for one year and the total electric bill to compute the yearly amount of electricity the household used and the total cost.

   The student should conduct an experiment to determine one of the major energy guzzlers in the student’s home. It involves using the scientific method. This should be reported at the end of the project

   Next the student will research adding solar to her/his home. Include the cost of the system (say 4.25 KW at $16,900 minus rebates) and how your electric bill is reduced.  Then compute payback at today’s electric rates, and at a rate increase of 10% per year. The student should also investigate solar water heating for household use plus what kind of system could be used for spas  and/or swimming pools.

  Data should be presented in spreadsheet format or table format.

 

For students who do not drive and have no car and/or students who do not have access to electric meters, the instructor will allow the student to write two papers (two to three page minimum) on other projects involving personal energy demans and what alternatives the student has for $4, $5, or even $6 per gallon gasoline cost.

 

Field Trip: Nissan’s LEAF Road Show

 

All students must go to the Nissan Road Show either Friday January 21; Saturday January 22, or Sunday January 23. This is a unique experience which has never happened in our city. There is a 40,000 waiting list to purchase this car.

 

 Your instructor will be at the site at the site Friday January 21 At 8:00 am for his wife’s (Dr. Marcelle Bessman) Test drive from 8am to 9am.

 

The official class meeting time: 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon will be devoted to your instructor’s test drive and inspection/discussion with the engineers who will be present. All students must either plan to test drive or ride on a test drive in one of these cars during the road show.

 

 Please go to the home page:

http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index?dcp=ppn.39666654.&dcc=0.216878497#/leaf-electric-car/index

and register for this event, preferably while your instructor is present 8-12 Friday January 21st. You may register from this home page. By the way, you have a chance to win one of these cars by you participation based on online voting the one moth after the show.

 

The instructor shows a 2005 video “Who Killed the Electric Car” every term usually around midterm. However, he will show this video the second week of his lecture classes prior to this Field Trip. In lecture class, January 19th or January 20th, at 9:30 am this video will be shown. Student not in the lecture will check out the video and watch it at home. It may be shown from 12:00-1:45 pm on January 14th, after the first day of class for those non-lecture students who have not seen this video and request to stay on their own time..

 

Your instructor will distribute the first week of class, the Video handout for taking notes from the film as well as an article in consumer’s reports, October 2010. All students in the lab must read this four page article before the Road Show.

 

February 3: Introduction to Rocks and Minerals

Checkout a new set of DVDs and return the first set. Have your instructor initial you video notebook’s progress.

 

During the /third (or fourth) lab, the students will examine Minerals and Rocks. Two hand outs with directions may be distributed. If not shown in class, the students must watch online  Episodes #12, #14, #17 & 18 in the Earth Revealed Series (if not seen in Lecture Class):

 

#12 Minerals: The Materials of Earth -- Minerals: The Materials of the Earth covers the origins, classifications and uses of minerals.

 

            Minerals have been indispensable to human civilization. This program looks at the variety of minerals, their atomic and crystalline structures, and their physical properties such as hardness and luster. Petrologists’ methods of sectioning rocks are shown, and gems, precious metals, ore excavation, and the value of silicates are discussed.

 

 

 

#14 Intrusive Igneous Rocks -- Intrusive Igneous Rocks unveils the rock-forming processes of magmas that do not reach Earth's surface but solidify underground.

 

            Most magma does not extrude onto Earth’s surface but cools slowly deep inside Earth. This magma seeps into crevices in existing rock to form intrusive igneous rocks. Experts provide a graphic illustration of this process and explain the types and textures of rocks such as granite, obsidian, and quartz. Once again, plate tectonics is shown to be involved in the process

#17 Sedimentary Rocks: The Key to Past Environments -- Sedimentary Rocks: The Key

         to Past Environments illustrates the importance of sedimentary rocks in understanding

        Earth's history.

 

            This program returns to the Grand Canyon: its exposed layers of sedimentary rock allow scientists to peer into the geologic past. The movement of sediment and its deposition are covered, and the processes of lithification, compaction, and cementation that produce sedimentary rocks are explained. Organic components of rock are also discussed

.

#18 Metamorphic Rocks -- Metamorphic Rocks interprets the causative factors of

        metamorphism and the kinds of rocks produced.

 

            The weight of a mountain creates enough pressure to recrystallize rock, thus creating metamorphic rocks. This program outlines the recrystallization process and the types of rock it can create — from claystone and slate to schist and garnet-bearing gneiss. The relationship of metamorphic rock to plate tectonics is also covered.

 

Another handout may be distributed February 3 to examine the contour maps during the fourth lab. The following films may be shown:

 

#15 Weathering and Soils -- Weathering and Soils demonstrates how minerals and rocks change when subjected to the physical and chemical conditions that exist at Earth's surface.

 

            The Cleopatra’s Needle obelisk in New York City’s Central Park is severely weathered after only 75 years, whereas the dry climate of Egypt has preserved similar structures in that country for millennia. This program shows how weather, climate, chemicals, temperature, and type of substrate factor into rock and soil erosion. Environmental connections are also considered.

 

#16 Mass Wasting -- Mass Wasting examines the causes, types and effects of mass wasting.

 

            Anyone undertaking a building project must understand mass wasting — the downslope movement of earth under the influence of gravity. Various factors in mass wasting, including the rock’s effective strength and pore spaces, are discussed, as are different types of mass wasting such as creep, slump, and landslides. Images of an actual landslide illustrate the phenomenon

Part 3 Meteorology
Exercise 12: Earth-Sun Relations
Exercise 13: Atmospheric Heating
Exercise 14: Atmospheric Moisture, Pressure, and Wind
Exercise 15: Air Masses, the Middle-Latitude Cyclone, and Weather Maps
Exercise 16: Global Climates

Also a hard copy of a weather lab that the instructor wrote in 1984 may be distributed. .

 

January 21: (Climatology)

 

If the student had not seen in lecture, nor is currently registered for John Taylor’s lecture ESC 1000 lecture, the video documentary: “Who Killed the Electric Car?”, the student may attend the film showing of this video during the scheduled lecture and will write a two or more page paper. A guideline will be handed out to take notes and structure this two plus paper due the last week of the term.

 

Alternative Energy Project/Paper (required if not watched in lecture class)

Watch the documentary:

Who KilledCar2

·         Tagline: In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline...........Ten years later, these cars were destroyed.

·         Plot Outline A documentary that investigates the birth and death of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in the future.

Plot Synopsis: With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil fuel shortages, unrest in oil producing regions around the globe and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid electric car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story couldn't be more relevant or important.

·         The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.

Then write a paper about the movie, highlighting the points which had the greatest impact on you. In the final minutes of the film, the documentary uses a guilty/not guilty analogy for each of the major points in the film. Include these with at least one sentence describing this category of evidence present. In 2003 the Federal government decided to back Hydrogen as the alternative fuel. In this film, five large problems must be overcome. What are they and research what has happened since the video broadcast in 2005. Do research on the current hybrid automobile, pros and cons. Is the HYBRID a long term solution?  Is there a next step toward gasoline independence, and conclude with suggestions which might solve our personal transportation problem. Please inject you personal comments and opinions but label them so. What is a plug-in hybrid? Describe the current hydrogen car initiative. What is Flex Fuel? What is the HHO hybrid? Report on the Nissan ‘LEAF’ and the Chevrolet ‘Volt’.  What is happen at Tesla Motors?

 

April 29 (Space Science)

 

Another Space Science disc (1 Disc 265 minutes) that the student will view is:

Moon Machines (2008) Science Channel:

MoonMachinesCover

The right tools for the job... The U.S. Moon missions would never have gotten 10 feet off the ground without the pioneering engineers and manufacturers and the amazing machines they created to turn science fiction into history-making headlines. From nuts and bolts to rockets and life support systems, every piece of gear was custom made from scratch to perform cutting-edge scientific tasks while withstanding the violent rigors of space travel. Now here's your chance to climb aboard the capsule, put on a spacesuit and learn the real stories behind the right stuff.

 

 

Saturn V: October 4th 1957, and the Russians take a huge leap forward in rocketry when they successfully launch Sputnik 1 - the world's first artificial satellite. Over the coming years the Soviets would continue to astound the world with their space achievements. America needs to respond - and quick! Command Module: We recount the story of the engineers who built the Apollo Command Module, a fully pressurised living space that would need to provide three men with food, water, air, power, communication, navigation and above all protection, to the moon and back.

Navigation: We tell the story of how a group of computer scientists grappled with the challenge of navigation of a round trip to the Moon back in the days when computer code and software hadn't been invented and computing power was a fraction of what it is today.

Lunar Module: The story of the engineers challenged with building what became affectionately called the Lunar Bug. A constant battle to meet the seemingly impossible demands of weight restrictions, the Lunar Module was one of the greatest engineering feats in history.

Suits: To survive outside of a spacecraft, an new space vehicle would be required - the spacesuit. Flexible enough to allow man to function, yet provide protection from the hostility of space. Two unlikely companies from the east coast took the challenge. Lunar Rover: In the final film in the series we reveal the untold story of how a very small group of engineers wont take no for an answer and convinces NASA to build what ultimately became the Lunar Rover. As with all the engineering during the Apollo program, the Lunar Rover - a spacecraft on wheels.

The History Channel has produced five season of a series title “The Universe”

UniverseSeason1Cover

The Universe: The Complete Season One ~ The Universe (DVD - 2007)

From the mysteries of our own solar system those that surround unexplored galaxies, history and science collide in this ambitious investigation of the Universe.
Questions about the Universe have consumed man since the dawn of time. In the 50 years since humans made their first tentative explorations of space, we have increased our knowledge of the

cosmos dramatically, using powerful telescopes, robotic probes, and manned missions. But only recently has computer technology allowed scientists to illustrate in stunning detail their awe-inspiring conclusions. THE UNIVERSE, a groundbreaking series from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®, employs cutting-edge computer-generated imagery to bring distant planets and faraway stars up close, allowing viewers to gaze at black holes and comets, and witness the births and deaths of galaxies and solar systems.

This epic miniseries takes viewers on an exhilarating voyage through the cosmos. From the farthest reaches of distant galaxies back to the familiar face of our moon, THE UNIVERSE brings the mysteries of the heavens down to earth.

The Universe - The Complete Season Two (2008)

With the DVD release (on five discs) of this, the complete second season of The Universe, the History Channel has now devoted a combined total of more than 25 hours, not including bonus material, to its documentary study of that combination of time, space, and matter that we call our universe.

That’s a lot. But then you consider the mind-boggling age and size of the universe itself: 13.7 billion years old, and big beyond our comprehension; infinite, in fact, and expanding rapidly. By those measures, it’s apparent that this fascinating series could probably air for longer than The Simpsons and Gunsmoke (the two longest running shows in TV history) put together and still not run out of things to talk about.

The 18 episodes from Season Two cover an appropriately wide range of topics, from "Cosmic Holes" to "Cosmic Collisions," from supernovas to gravity. There are episodes about the weather in space, the largest objects in space (hint: they’re really, really big, like the so-called "cosmic web" of galaxies, which is a hundred million billion times bigger than Earth), and traveling to and colonizing space. The amount of information and data provided is enormous. Jargon abounds, including terms like "lunar transient phenomena," "pulsar planets," "hot Jupiters," "dark matter" and "dark energy," "collisional families," the "heavy bombardment period," and many, many more. And the numbers are mind-boggling: for instance, it’s estimated that the impact of the asteroid that landed on the Yucatan Peninsula some 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs, was equal to that of dropping a Hiroshima-sized atomic bomb every second for 140 years! Still, some may find the episodes that involve informed speculation more interesting than those that deal in facts. We know that the Moon affects ocean tides, but does it also have an effect on human behavior? If the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe, what came before it? Instead of using rockets to go to space, can scientists actually build a "space elevator" that will reach from an orbiting satellite some 60 thousand miles down to Earth? All of this is delivered by way of very convincing computer-generated imagery and other effects, along with dozens of interviews with astronomers and other experts, photos, film footage, and so on. Best of all, while it can get a bit dense, technically speaking, by and large The Universe will be readily accessible to most viewers.

TheUniverseSeason3Cover

Second Hollywood and Earth Science Movie: (Optional)

 

During the course, in addition to lecture Hollywood projects, the student may watch another Hollywood Film which deals with Earth Science Issues. The student write a two to three page, double spaced, word processed paper explaining the Earth Science principles applied in the film, use vocabulary words from the chapter(s). The plot and the story do not matter (only if you want in a summary fashion), it is the science applied in the film that should be your focus.

 

GRADING:

A =  Attendance at six classes and submission of a video log of 30 plus hours.

B = Attendance of  four classes @ 2hr plus video log of 24 -30 hours

C=  Attendance of  three  classes @ 2hr plus video log of 21-24 hours

 

The instructor reserves the right to make necessary modifications or adjustments to the syllabus and grading during the semester as necessary, but will not add additional closed book exams or any additional testing than listed above.

 

WEB-SITE:

 This course uses the http://www.fscj.me or fccj.us or fccj.info web site giving you access to course information. The instructor will use his johtaylo@fscj.edu  email account to send weekly group emails in-place of the course calendar. The weekly email will be posted on Blackboard as an Announcement. This course was recently GLY 1001L and changed to ESC 1000L.

 

Email Requirement:


Each student should send the instructor an email during the first week from both your fscj email account and an outside email account for a backup contact. Be certain you put in subject box:
10Lab: first email

Tell me about yourself. Why are you taking this course? Did you earth science in high school? When? What grades did you make? Where do you live? What are your telephone numbers? What is your external email address which can serve as a backup to FSCJ assigned email. Always begin the subject of each email with 10Lab: Subject-less emails will be deleted.

 

 

OFFICIAL OFFICE HOURS:     (also Unofficial – anytime I am in my office)

Some office hours are in my actual office D-270; while others will be in the classroom 30 minutes prior to class and 30 minutes after class for testing:

 

 

 

 

Students with Disabilities:

         Qualified students with documented disabilities are eligible for physical and academic accommodations under the American Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  Students requesting accommodations should contact this professor during the first week of class with official documentation of disability

 

 

 

 

Withdrawal Policy:

         Students will be allowed to withdraw from this class any time during the semester through Thursday, March 24 for an A-16 schedule   and will post a grade of “W . After this date a letter grade must be assigned reflecting the student’s performance in the class including FN.  Students failing to attend class for the first two consecutive weeks are subject to withdrawal (WNA) by the instructor according to FSCJ policy. These  ‘no shows’ must be reported to Admissions and  Records by the end  of two weeks.

 

 

Classroom Etiquette:

         Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults in the classroom showing respect to their classmates. Only persons registered for this class are permitted in the classroom.  As a courtesy to the instructor and your fellow classmates, cellular telephones and pagers should be cut off before entering the classroom or laboratory. Likewise, the instructor sometimes forgets to shut his down at the beginning of class, so hopefully someone sitting close to the front may remind the instructor with a hand gesture for him to check his phone. During a video there is great temptation to visit with your neighbor, send text messages, listen to you IPOD/MP3 player or even make cell phone calls. Either leave this technology in your car, backpack or purse. It is rude to have your IPOD/MPs player hooked into your ear while class is in session. If you need to talk or use your phone please step outside the classroom. If a video is playing, do not come back in until it is over. Disruptive students will be asked to leave. The instructor will warn a student or group of students once, but the next time he will stop class or the video and kindly ask the student to leave for the day.

 

 

Academic Misconduct:

         Academic misconduct or dishonesty such as cheating and plagiarism is not permitted.  Suspected cases may be reported to the FSCJ administration and/or may result in failure of an assignment, failure in the course or exclusion from the class. Also, the instructor reserves the right to reassign work to students and void any papers at any time. No questions asked-The instructor may tell the student to reattempt the work to earn the daily quiz grade or examination grade or the instructor may assign a zero). The main form of cheating is falsifying video logs

 

The following are excerpts from the Student Catalog and are rules for the operation of this course:

 “Academic dishonesty, in any form, is expressly prohibited by the rules of the District Board of Trustees of Florida State College at Jacksonville.

As used herein, academic dishonesty incorporates the following.

 

  Alleged Academic Dishonesty in the Classroom

A faculty member who has a concern regarding a student’s conduct in the area of academic dishonesty may elect to meet with the student directly.

Once the student is notified, it is advised that the student resolve the matter with the faculty member. However, at any time the student may request a hearing with the campus dean of student success.

Meeting(s) referenced above shall meet the College’s requirements for due process.

Following the discussion with the student, the faculty member may take one or more of the following action(s).

1. Verbally warn the student that continuation or repetition of misconduct of this nature may be cause for further disciplinary action.

2. Require the student to retake the test or rewrite the assignment.

3. Require the student to withdraw from the course.

4. Fail the student for the assignment.

5. Fail the student for the course.

6. Refer the student(s) to the campus dean of student success for possible suspension or dismissal.

For cases in which the student is referred to the campus dean of student success for action, the dean will appropriately involve the faculty member and inform the faculty member of the disposition of the matter.

Each faculty member shall communicate the College’s policy on academic dishonesty to each class section with which that faculty member is involved. (This syllabus is that communication)
