Description

IDS 100 Project 2 KWL Chart Template Prompt: In order to help you apply the lenses of liberal arts to your topic, you will complete the provided KWL chart. Use the information you gathered in the lenses chart (Project 1) to help guide you. In addition, the information from both charts will be useful to you in Project 3, the presentation, which you will work on in Modules Six and Seven and submit in Module Eight. Replace the bracketed text in the KWL chart below with the relevant information. Complete the following steps: 1. In the “K” column, identify your chosen topic and write what you already know about your topic in relation to each of the lenses. 2. In the “W” column, write what you want to know about your chosen topic in the form of questions in relation to each of the lenses. 3. In the “L” column, after reading the article you located associated with your chosen topic, summarize what you learned about your topic when looking at it through each of the lenses. Although the articles you review may not answer all of your questions, be sure to answer any questions possible in the space provided and explain your response. Also, note the citation for your article as it is provided to you, as you will need to reference this in future modules when creating your presentation slides. 4. Create a list of keywords you would use were you to continue researching your chosen topic. Consider the questions you had that were not answered by the articles you reviewed: Are there any terms/keywords that you might use to search for answers to these questions?

My topic is Space Exploration

I already know the following about this topic: ●

Man is preparing to go to the moon again, and then to Mars. We have more to learn about space, and we

This is what I want to know about my topic: 1. What benefits would we get from mining asteroids? 2. Why is the goal to explore space instead of maintaining our own planet?

Space debris is a really big issue and concern for the government, and has been for a long time since 1989. It took a long time for different nations to come together and agree on a set of policies and guidelines. There are many different agencies that worked together on the topic of space debris. After taking a long time drafting the space

We can prevent future calamities as we learn more about space. Companies are looking into mining asteroids for minerals.

Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

There is a high possibility that we are not the only universe, and there might be other earth-like planets.

debris mitigation policies, the nations were able to quickly work together to focus on space debris removal.

3. What happens to all the waste and trash when we fly out to space? 4. Is the possibility of space living and tourism really feasible? 5. Just because there is water on other planets, does that necessarily mean there is life there as well? 6. Why is it taking us so long to go to the moon again, even though we have previously done it with much less technology?

Have any of your questions been answered by the article you read? Explain. ●

Yes, the article answered question 3. I was not aware that space debris was this big of an issue. I was under the impression that the waste from space travel included mostly human waste and other trash we may leave behind, but after reading the article I see that it is much bigger than that. The article describes that every time we have sent a rocket ship or satellite there is actually a lot of debris left behind, mainly being the remains of the rocket body. The article also stated that the first object that was found in earth’s orbit was a piece of space debris from Sputnik 1. All this space debris poses a hazard to the operations of our satellites that are important for our economy and security.

The building industry is the number one cause for greenhouse emissions and pollution. Singapore strives to create mandates and policies that all building and construction has to go through, such as the Green Mark Scoring system, to ensure they are sustainable and environmentally friendly. NASA has given us many household technologies through its research and space exploration. NASA is obligated to share the research and findings to better the environment and pollution on earth. By using space technologies, such as the voltage controller and the self-illuminating materials, construction of buildings can add 11 and 13 points to their Green Mark score.

Have any of your questions been answered by the article you read? Explain. ●

Yes, this article answered question 2. The article shows how we continually use the resources and technologies obtained from space exploration to aid in creating a more sustainable environment on earth. The article depicts many products, in many different industries, that were discovered from NASA’s efforts for space exploration in Tables 2 and 3. This answers my question, because I see that by putting our money into developing new technologies for space exploration, we are simultaneously helping the betterment of our own environment and economy.

What I learned when exploring my topic through the history lens: ●

The moon is just a stepping stone to Mars, and is a “unique laboratory” where we can find out much more about the earth’s past and our universe. We planned to work with many people and experts from around the world in an effort to explore the moon and eventually Mars. We planned to use the moon as an outpost, and to create a lasting human and robotics presence. The plan was to use Orion to carry human passengers back to the moon by 2020. We can use the technologies and advancements that we gain from building a sustained presence on the moon to directly benefit our ecosystems, such as clean-burning hydrogen which would be the fuel of our future.

Have any of your questions been answered by the article you read? Explain. ●

Yes, this article answered questions 2 and 6. The article discusses the importance of using the moon as a laboratory to learn more about earth and our position in the universe. The moon can be viewed as “our own planet’s

history book”, because the moon can offer concrete clues about the conditions that prevailed when life first arose. Additionally, the article discusses how creating an extended presence on the moon will open up technological advancements and opportunities on earth that are not currently accessible. The article also addresses questions 6, regarding why we have not been back to the moon in so long. The article explains how we are in a global effort to develop technology and lunar architecture to make man’s next visit to the moon sustainable and worthwhile. While we have not directly sent humans back to the moon there have been space missions, such as India’s Chandrayaan-1, to scout out the moon's surface and poles for man’s next moon exploration. The speech was made back in 2006 and talks of being back on the moon by 2020, which obviously got held back due to COVID-19. Citation: Dale, S. (2007). Going back to the moon.

What I learned when exploring my topic through the humanities lens: ●

●

It is important to encourage students to take courses that explore futuristic environments, and promote designing space colonies. In 2001 Dennis Tito took a 10 day vacation in outer space on the International Space Station, as a space tourist.

●

●

The Hilton company and some Japanese construction companies are using private funding to further their plans for lunar hotels and space projects. By giving students the autonomy to create a project regarding space colonization, they were much more inspired and imaginative.

Have any of your questions been answered by the article you read? Explain. ●

Yes, this answered questions 4. While space tourism and colonization is not really feasible at this time, the article discusses some steps humans are taking to make that a reality within the coming years. The article shares the instance with Dennis Tito and his 10 day vacation into outer space, however he was a millionaire so that is not something that is accessible by the average person. The article also states that space colonizations could be a possibility in the next few years, and more universities are promoting classes that focus on architecture and design of man’s future space homes.
