For the original lesson I planned and prepared to be successful, I had to quickly adjust and adapt to unforeseen circumstances that was beyond my control. This lesson should have been the second lesson to a series of lessons pertaining to magnets. However, due to school cancelations and delays because of inclement weather this lesson had to be adjusted to incorporate the complete introductions of magnets to this second grade class. Before delving into this particular lesson, students were introduced to magnets by conducting a scavenger hunt around the classroom to search for items that were magnetic and for items that were not magnetic. Each student was given a magnet to use to explore the room. After the scavenger hunt was concluded, Students were engaged while conducting the “Magic Magnet” experiments. They were focused on the task at hand and they were excited about learning and manipulating the magnets to make the donut magnet react in a variety of ways as we worked through the four aforementioned experiments discussed in the instructional strategies of the lesson plan. The four experiments included “Follow the Force,” “The Indecisive Magnet,” “The Invisible Dance Partner,” and “The Jitters.” During “Follow the Force,” students were able to move the donut magnets by sliding two bar magnets below the donut magnet without touching them together. Students were surprised that the donut magnet and the bar magnets did not attach to each other. They were excited to see that they could manipulate the movement of the donut magnet by using the bar magnets. At this point students were not familiar with attraction and repelling of magnets. To continue with the experiments, one bar magnet was placed at each side of the triangle base to conduct “The Indecisive Magnet” experiment. After students placed their bar magnets around the base of the triangle, they gave the donut magnet, attached to the yarn, a small push. The donut magnets could not decide which magnet it wanted to be near so it bounced As students worked in groups to separate the items in their bag into magnetic or not magnetic columns, I circulated the room asking students questions about their reasoning for placing particular items in each section, the similarities of the items in each column, and the differences of the items in each column. During this time, I noticed that one group had formed a new column for items that they were puzzled by. I also noticed that some students were using prior knowledge gained from the scavenger hunt to determine which column to place their items. After allowing ample time for students to make predictions about their items, test their items, and collect the data I began to allow students to make real world connections to magnets by asking students how magnets are used in their everyday lives. Students quickly mentioned how magnets were used in their classroom for the lunch count and how magnets were found on most everyone’s refrigerators in their
In the short story “Cornet at night” by Sinclair Ross, Tom Dickson is a young farm boy who lives on a farm with his parents. He is very naive and has not had a chance to experience the outside world for his own. He knows only what he learns from the farm and school, but now that he gets to go on a small adventure on his on, he grows up in a variety of ways. One way in which Tom grows up is when he goes to town by himself. He has gone before, but with the security of his parents with him, and for a young boy to go to another town “eight miles north of here” is a large task for such a young boy, thus showing one way that he matures. To illustrate this, as Tom rolls into town with Rock he says, “I remember nothing but a smug satisfaction with myself, an exhilarating conviction of importance and
In the twentieth century the medical field has seen many changes. One way that hospitals and nursing specifically has changed and implemented the changes is by pursuing accreditations, awards, and recognitions. The purpose of this paper is to understand Magnet Status and the change required by hospitals to achieve it.
For hospitals to reach their peak in the healthcare world they must work to achieve a prestigious credential by the American Nurse's Credentialing Center ( Truth about nursing). In order to receive such a credential, hospitals must fulfill a set of criteria that will take a lot of work and reform within the hospital itself. To receive magnet status hospitals have to express the fourteen forces of magnetism along with the strict list of requirements (Flores, 2007). Magnet status along with everything has its benefits along with its problems. This credential has been researched in depth, and some research feels that certain thing should be changed in order for magnet hospitals to be the best they can possible be. Lastly, there is no doubt that magnet status is of great value because of how it transforms hospitals from great to greater.
The Magnet Recognition Program was initially developed to attract and maintain nursing staff. According to American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) web site, the program “was developed by the ANCC to recognize health care organizations that provide nursing excellence. The program also provides a vehicle for disseminating successful nursing practices and strategies.” Nursing administration continues to have an integral role associated with the demonstration of excellence in achieving the highest honor of nursing distinction. The exploration of force one, quality of nursing leadership, continues to be the foundation of magnet recognition.
How can a man entangled in the dangerous crimes of smuggling, so engrossed with his past love that he lost her, and shed his own blood due to a misunderstanding ever be forgiven? In other words, should he be condoned for his acts, or should he forever be in Hell and forgotten? One might acknowledge the fact that this man's past, behavior, and intentions are unknown, therefore standing in either a positive or neutral view. Another might add that sins can never be forgiven, no matter what reasons had caused them, leaning toward a negative standpoint. Jay Gatsby, a character in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, is much like the preceding man described, having faced the shame and committing the same dishonorable acts, and is often criticized by those in a negative standpoint. However, within the text, Nick Carraway, the narrator of the novel, plainly states, “Gatsby turned out all right at the end” (6). Nick knew all about the immoral deeds Gatsby had carried out, so how could Nick make this claim in honor of a dead man? The answer is quite simple: Nick realized Gatsby’s incorruptible dream was the most admirable feat out of all the characters in the book, something that not only made Gatsby respectable to Nick, but great.
The Magnet certification of the American Nurses Credentialing Center(ANCC), mandates that nurses utilize research and evidence base practice to improve the safe delivery of patient care (Stanley, 2011). Due to the cost of “application fees, appraiser fees, site visit costs, and document preparation” that range from $46,000 to $251,000, some institutions have to rethink Magnet status due to its financial implications (Drenkard, 2010). Despite the initial and maintenance costs of the Magnet certification, evidence suggests the expenses may be offset within couple years through higher net inpatient revenue (Jayawardhana, Welton, & Lindrooth, 2014).

Healthcare is continually changing and so is quality of care. Nurses contribute tremendously to this, through, firsthand experience with patients and family to detect deviations from the norm. As a result of such importance the Magnet Recognition Status was developed. The Magnet Recognition is currently the leading source of measuring nursing success in the United States. This was established in 1994 by Aiken et al, who compared mortality rates of Medicare patients in Magnet hospitals verses non Magnet hospitals. It was concluded, upon the completion of the research that the Magnet hospitals showed a much higher job satisfaction and lower patient mortality rate than non Magnet hospitals. Despite the evidence generated on Magnet hospitals successful patient outcomes and nurse satisfactions, only nine percent (9%) of the American hospitals are recognized as Magnet.

During one of the third grade morning classes while observing in the Magnet program, I was asked to assist the class with doing the lesson. The class itself is working on project that was very technical and skill based. Being asked to help was very exciting. I had only been observing at the school for few weeks and only helped students occasionally if I noticed the student was in need of assistance. The project the class was working on involved using a large of wet media like paint and Mod Podge finishes. I spent majority of the class circulating through the room and providing assistance where I could be of use to either the teacher I was observing with or the students. This usually involved offering guidance or advice on how the students

Temperature has a large effect on particles. Heat makes particles energized causing them to spread out and bounce around. Inversely the cold causes particles to clump together and become denser. These changes greatly F magnetic the state of substances and can also influence the strength of magnetic fields. This is because it can alter the flow of electrons through the magnet.
This class has opened my mind to the incredible impact that STEM Education can have on our society. I do not work in an institution that has a STEM program. I work at a preschool; this makes my practice of any type of STEM program extremely limited. However, it is a private school. All my students come from households where one or both of their parents are professionals. These professionals want their children to be academically prepared for school. This means we must academically, mentally, and emotionally prepare them for their future schooling. I teach my students how to be a functioning participant in a classroom while exploring mathematics, science, art, history, literature and pre-writing. Puzzles, counting, shapes, measuring, etc. are on the daily agenda. Science is a huge part of our curriculum. Science in the
The Earth’s magnetic field is a major component to exploring the earth. The north and the south poles have always been a guide for travelers. Using compasses, the direction of the north pole and the south pole has always been provided by the magnetic force of the magnetic field. What many people do not know though is the earth’s magnetic field provides way more than that. The magnetic field, also known as the magnetosphere, protects us from all kinds of harmful substances. Some of these substances include solar wind and harmful radiation from the sun. The magnetosphere also protects the atmosphere, which protects us.
