Kivalliq Science Educators' Community Participant Behavior Guidelines for Science-Culture Camp The Kivalliq Science Educators' Community (KSEC are planning to hold a Camp for secondary school students (Grades 10-12). The Camp will be held in Baker Lake from September 5-10, 2012. The camp will involve a land component and a classroom component and will focus on rocks and minerals and students participating in the camp will be eligible for two school CTS credits. Student's Roles and Responsibilities During the Camp It is the responsibility of all student participants in the Kivalliq Science Camp to by the following guidelines: During the camp in Lake 1. To behave at all times within the rules set out by the course instructors and elders 2. To abstain from the use or possession of drugs or alcohol during the camp. 3. To abstain from sexual involvement/ dating relationships with other Kivalliq Science Camp participants or community members. 4. To remain in Baker Lake with the camp at all times accompanied by a course instructor 6. To take part in all phases of the program. To act positively with all members of the camp and to participate to the fullest extent possible. 7. To fulfill all projects, assignments and activities within the camp. 8. To attend each and every camp activity unless illness occurs. Any absences must be explained and lost time will be made up in future dates. 9. To be punctual for activities in the morning, breaks, and after lunch periods. 10. To attend evening activities, if required by the instructor(s). 11. To respect all fellow participants and instructors. I have read the behavioral guidelines and agree to abide by them for the duration of the camp in Baker Lake. I also understand that failure to follow these guidelines could result in my expulsion from the program, loss of school credit and/or if applicable, transportation back home at my expense. Remember that you have signed this document and agreed to follow it for the duration of the camp. Camp Rules and Boundaries Safety and respect are the two guiding principles from which the following rules are developed. It is the responsibility of all student participants in the Kivalliq Science Culture Camp to abide by these rules and boundaries.

Beliefs are beliefs associated with the qulliq including the following examples. If there is a problem lighting the qulliq, it may be due to the qulliq being frightened. In this case, one had to go outside and walk around the dwelling in a clockwise direction to scare away what was frightening the qulliq. In Igloolik, the return of the sun was celebrated with the children running into each household and blowing out the flames of the qulliq. When this was done, the old wicks from each lamp were removed and new wicks were set in their place. The qulliit were then replenished with fresh oil and their new wicks re-lit from a single ceremonial flame started by the striking of a flint. The new fresh flames, glowing brightly in the lamps of each household, signified the renewal and strengthening of life.

The purpose of this lab is to teach the students the different identification techniques used by scientists. Background: Colours and Description: Observation. No equipment is necessary. Note: Many minerals occur in different colours and different minerals may have the same colour. Form: Describe the usual appearance of the specimen. Crystalline: Made of groups of crystals Granular: Made of small rounded or sharpless crystals or grains. Earthy: Like hard dried clay (but not necessarily the same colour) Massive: Only a mass without particular characteristics Powdery: Flaky: Fibrous:
