Tennessee government officials already knew Measurement Inc. couldn’t honor their five year contract for standardized online testing, even before it was signed. There was already a list of complaints against Measurement Inc. from other states. Standardized online testing thus far has just been a waste of time and taxpayer money. The target audience for the article is the parents of the students, the tax payers, and the government officials responsible for hiring Measurement Inc.…
While watching the students answer the questions, I noticed that several of them never lined up the paper slip with the bat or any of the other objects they were measuring. Their endpoints never lined up, causing them to incorrectly answer the first six questions. This lack of knowledge went to further diminish their conceptual understanding of how to take the third object and measure the first two objects to compare them. This lack understanding also affected their ability to correctly order three objects from shortest to longest. The mathematical reasoning was either a hit or miss with the students.…
Following the Ways of the Scientific Method The scientists solved the Elkhorn Coral mystery using the scientific method by following each step of the method to come to a conclusion as to what is killing the coral. The followed the steps precisely so that would not make any errors during their trials. They started with the first step of the scientific method, making an observation.…
As honors students, we thrive on achievements. Tangible achievements are what, for many of us, ensure that we have accomplished our goals. For this reason, when I learned about the “Honor Cadet of the Flight” award at Civil Air Patrol Encampment, I was determined to achieve it. I tried extremely hard and made sure that everything I did displayed nothing less than excellence throughout the week. Because I was so determined to achieve that award, the setback came across disconcerted me greatly.…
Being at the Phoenix Center today made me see how people’s attitude can affect a person. Patient’s in detox centers such as Phoenix have set schedules to abide by as part of their treatment plan. It is nesseccary for them to attend to these private and group meeting to help them stay on track. Many of them see these meeting as pointless and stupid but they are very beneficial to their progress. These patients are also grogy and tired as they are coming off of drugs and alcohol, and the medications they take also make them tired as well.…
Along with these elementary operants, there are also more complex verbal behaviors. These complex behaviors include tact extensions and generalization, automatic reinforcement and private events. For Joey, it is hypothesized that the problem behavior of swearing is due to a private event that is occurring because of frustration and misunderstanding of what is being expected from him. Initial Assessment Joey has been referred to the Oak City Applied Behavior Analysis Center to focus on these behaviors. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) has begun working on Joey’s case.…
Scope Lab It is a wonderful experience working at the Scope lab this semester. The purpose of taking this lab is to have experience of how to conduct empirical and theoretical research on the nature of concept learning behavior, perception, and inference in humans and non-human animals. The learning goals of the laboratory experiences include enhancing mastery of science subject matter, developing scientific reasoning abilities, increasing understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, developing practical skills, increasing understanding of the nature, and improving teamwork abilities. Interacting with some materials in laboratory experiences helps me concretely understand the inherent complexity and ambiguity of…
Laboratory Exercise 1: Anatomy Lab Report Scientist: Eryka Ocasio Ramos Lab Title: Scientific Method and Measurements I. Problem: Is there a correlation between the length of the upper and lower limbs and the height of an individual? II. Hypothesis: The length of a person’s upper limb is equal to 0.4 (40%) of the height of the person. III.…
The three areas of the tutorial I am aware that I require a few practices in the Patient Care, Part 1; General Patient Care tutorial on Perform Measurement Conversions 1 explains how a MA needs to record a patient’s temperature by converting the Celsius to Fahrenheit by multiplying the Celsius by nine-fifths and add thirty-two. And to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is by subtracting thirty-two from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiple the results by five-ninths. The second tutorial on Perform Measurement Conversions 2 demonstrates how to convert a patient’s height and weight. For instance 1 lb = 0.45kg, to convert pounds to kilograms multiply pounds by 0.45 and to convert kilograms to pounds multiply kilograms by 2.2. The third tutorial on Perform Measurement Conversions 3 explains how to convert feet to inches is by multiplying the…
Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Tiffany Abbe Introduction: In this lab I will be adapting more about how to utilize distinctive estimation instruments and comprehend the diverse procedures included. Figuring out how to ascertain temperature and length. Will likewise make estimations utilizing the SI frameworks for fixation, thickness, and volume. While having the capacity to reate arrangements of building so as to change focuses and densities as tock arrangement.…
Hello Professor Rosen, I am in your Monday Wednesday Psychology for Women class and my question is pertaining to the Implicit test that we have to take. Is it the Implicit test posted by Harvard? If that is the right website which test do we have to take on the site? there are a number of different test listed: skin-tone IAT, Age IAT, Weight IAT and many more.…
LAB REPORT 1 MEASURING ENERGY EXPENDITURE USING CYCLE ERGOMETER 10/13/2015 SHEETAL PARMAR TY2 INTRODUCTION Physical activity is defined as movement of body, which is produced by the skeletal muscles of the body which results in energy expenditure. There are several numbers of techniques for the assessment of physical activity related energy expend, the most valid technique to estimate this value at the definition of the physical activity is indirect calorimetry (Westerterp, 2013). Oxygen consumed during postexercise recovery period and during exercise above resting level contribute to calorie expenditure. The physiology of upperbody exercise and lower body exercise has been thoroughly researched and reviewed in so many research…
Goals E. coli is a type of bacteria that sense and swim towards sugar, amino acids, pyrimidines and electron acceptors. Thus, the goal of this experiment was to determine whether E. coli has a direct motion or random motion when a chemoattractant (glucose) was present. This was done by observing the velocity before and after the chemoattractant and by making Log-Log Plot. Theoretical Chemotaxis refers to the ability of organisms to move in response to the presence of a chemical.…
The Context I met with my interviewee, Mrs. Miriam Reyes, on Wednesday February 18th at 12:00 in the afternoon at James G. Blaine Elementary School. We met after my observation during the students’ recess and lunch. She instructed me to the teachers lounge where we would conduct the interview. There were few other teachers around eating their lunch, grading paperwork and making copies. She directed me to a table near the back where it was much quieter.…
Sources of Measurement Error Measurement is the process by where we assign value to empirical events, objects or properties, or activities according to a set of rules or standards (Cooper & Schindler, 2014). The goal of measurement is to represent the events, objects, properties, or activities with complete precision and control. Because a researcher does not have complete control, errors do occur. Measurement error is the difference between the research value assigned and the true value. “Measurement error occurs at the time of data collection and is a type of non-sampling error” (Bavdaz, 2010, p. 25).…
