After lunch we went over some math strategies like contemplate then calculate and finished it off with academic discussion in problem solving. I liked what I learned today. Many of the strategies that were presented were new to me. I used to think or thumbs up or down and the exit pass when anyone mentioned formative assessment to me. Now I have a variety of new formatives that I can…

It is no doubt that nails are of a big importance since they can signal us that that something is going on inside our bodies. They can carry the symptoms of many dangerous diseases such as cancer. If you hear lunula you might immediately think that that is just an area of pigment change under the nails, but it is more than that. That crescent-shaped whitish area at the end of a fingernail is actually really sensitive area and you should keep it safe because it can easily get damaged. In this…

These particular phases are the blueprint to the design, creation and marketing of the new product. At this stage, there are certain responsibilities that will require you to gather ideas and data that you will need to get…

Vital signs include the measurement of: temperature, respiratory rate, pulse, and blood pressure. These numbers provide critical information about a patient’s health. Vital signs can identify the existence of an acute medical problem. Most patients will have had their vital signs measured at some point, which are documented on their records. When the patient knows how the tools work, the patient will understand their vital signs better. Starting with the temperature, there is a tool called a…

If I taught this lesson again, I would write the facts on the fact chart in bigger print and I would have given more specific feedback to students. The fact chart was a valuable reference for students, but the writing was too small and that made it hard for all the students to see when they were writing/generating a fact of their own. I would also work on giving more specific feedback to students. This is something that I can work on in lessons that I teach in the future as well. The classroom…

This investigation’s aim was to observe the organic displacement clock reaction and see how different properties - such as concentration and temperature - affect the reaction rate. This was to enhance understanding and gain knowledge of how certain properties affect reaction mechanisms and activation energies, and how acid-base equilibria behaves. The data generally supported the hypothesis. It can be clearly seen that higher molarities of t-BuCl gave faster reaction rates, and it is an even…

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world face obstacles, getting an injury or the warming of our earth are examples of obstacles in our everyday lives. Obstacles teach us a lesson for the betterment of our lives, that is why we need to overcome them.

Last year I went through some pretty…

A glass bottle is broken in the middle of the street, and as common sense would tell anyone, it is probably best to avoid and walk around it. However, if everyone embodied this practical and sound judgment, then why do people still smoke cigarettes despite knowing the effects to their body? The question is then this: is common sense really so, common? The Oxford dictionary definition states common sense as “good sense and sound judgement in practical matters.” The problem within the…

Finding success depends on person to person. For some, success may be getting an A on a quiz or maybe passing the term with a 4.0 GPA. At the national level, 46% of current community college students…
