I have spent my eight week practicum at the Woodstock High School where I was an Educational Assistant (E.A.). I was expected to help students in various classes with various subjects. We (the students and I) worked on regular class assignments and projects. I also participated in some outings such as grocery shopping for culinary class, bowling for gym class and a special day of town beatification where we picked up garbage in an effort to help clean up the town. While working at the high school
Safety in school labs Safety remains one of the key elements in modern school labs; it is necessary for the staff to ensure the safety of all the lab users. Every chemical and equipment in the laboratory have the potential to harm if adequate safety measures are not taken into account. As lab uses, you have to consider that you follow the basic safety guidelines for the lab sessions. Always be aware of all the general safety precaution and familiarize yourself with the appropriate protective
Each lesson plan presents its own unique issues. The lesson plan this week focused primarily on a lab. I wanted to make sure that the information in the lab was fully applicable to a lesson and a SOL. During my field placement, my cooperating teacher had me design a lesson plan about photosynthesis. I chose to use the powerpoint and lesson I taught and modify it for this assignment. This was much easier to say than do. This was a good experience though because it taught me even modifying a lesson
Computer Technology and the Physically Challenged Computer technology has positively affected the physically challenged. Computer technology brings new techniques for the blind, deaf, and people with movement disabilities. New programs are making it easier for the disabled. Some schools and states are helping the disabled by setting up computer labs and computer recycling programs. Computer technology has really helped the blind and the deaf. It has brought Braille keys to a regular keyboard
Comparing Carol Ann Duffy's Havisham and Robert Browning's The Laboratory In the poem “Havisham”, Carol Ann Duffy presents the subject as an old, embittered woman with “ropes on the back of her hands”. In “The Laboratory” by Robert Browning the subject is a strong and determined, but very jealous and embittered, young woman. Both poems are written in the first person in the form of a dramatic monologue. Carol Ann Duffy writes about the feelings of rejection, isolation and desolation that
A Comparison of the Laboratory and Industrial Processes When going through the process of fermentation in a laboratory they use certain methods to achieve their goals and some of the methods that they use are completely different from the ones that are used in the industry of fermentation. A fermenter is a container that maintains optimum conditions needed to grow a particular organism I will be using different criteria’s to compare the laboratory and industrial process of fermentation
Master students I have witnessed at our University. My laboratory studies the behavioral, electrophysiological and neuroanatomical aspects of spinal cord injury – with the overall objective to recover motor and sensory function after paralysis in rodents. Tiffany grabbed my attention in the lab from the very onset – after initially recruiting Tiffany to my lab as a Masters student, I was fascinated by her commitment to research in the laboratory. She started shadowing my post-doc and research assistants
Different laboratories conduct different experiments which could involve radioactive chemicals, pathogenic micro-organism which can cause infectious diseases, flammable and explosive substances (Hse.gov.uk, 2015). So the laboratory personnel have a greater effect on the safety as it affects them and the laboratory environment because each individual workers attitude will decide whether they will undergo injury or damage to themselves or the laboratory (Hse.gov.uk, 2015). So without
Introduction: The standard amount of zinc to be put on a galvanized nail is between 0.28 and 1.00 oz/ft2. The higher quality nails have a higher amount of zinc, around 1.00 oz/ft2. The lower quality nails have a lower amount of zinc on them. The lowest amount it can be within the standard is 0.28 oz/ft2, otherwise it doesn’t meet the standard. However, the box doesn’t list the amount of zinc or whether it is good quality or not. My goal in this experiment was to determine the amount of zinc (in grams)
The design of a laboratory can be crucial when it comes to the efficiency, effectiveness, safety and security. Therefore, it is important that a laboratory is designed and planned out carefully at the start. When designing a laboratory, there are many things that must be taken into consideration to be able to get the best out of the lab. The most important feature that a laboratory should have is safety. There can be many potentially dangerous hazards in a science lab. This means that there are many
Still, as the university expands, more new students come than graduate, less frequently updated and increased in number computers start to become a problem. Right now there are more than one thousand students studying in AUCA, while in the computer laboratories there are over 100 computers available. Not talking about the time of exams, even in usual time it is always hard to sign up for the computer time. Students are complaining about the computer lab all the time. There are not enough computers and
I am writing this letter to strongly recommend MSc Gaspar Bruner M. for the Genetic Graduate Program at the University of Cambridge. Mr. Bruner worked as a research assistant in my laboratory for three years, where he worked with the fungus-growing ant symbiosis. During those years Gaspar was in charged of the lab functions, a collaborator and a mentor for national and international members of the lab. During that time period, he showed an incredible interest for ants’ behavior, molecular biology
Safe working practices in a laboratory are regulated to ensure a safe and manageable environment within a laboratory in order to make practises efficient and safe. In a laboratory all staff and employees should know the types of hazard they are dealing with when it comes to chemicals and substances, they should also be aware of events that they may have never come across before and they also need to be aware of the personal protective equipment and facilities that reduce the risks which include showers
Using Chunking to Increase Capacity of STM The aim of the investigation was to repeat the experiment carried out by Bower and Springston in 1970. A laboratory experiment was carried out to demonstrate how chunking could be used to increase the capacity of STM. Participants were presented with a letter sequence. The independent variable was the chunking and the dependent variable was how many letters the participants recalled. A repeated measures design was used and the participants were
In Walker Percy’s “The Loss of the Creature” he attempts to portray the idea that perspective can be skewed by another’s story, personal experience, and other factors that lead people to have these expectations of a sight or study that lessen the experience. He demonstrates this when he makes mention of the tourists at the Grand Canyon, and the Biology student getting compared to the Falkland Islander. The facts he presents are true, but Percy does not go into detail about individual cases leading
viewing the Cartoon Network for a day, I decided that Dexter’s Laboratory would be the best show to document the gender roles and common ideologies of men and women in society. Dexter’s Laboratory is based on the tale of a child genius. A small, red-headed boy genius, Dexter lives in a quiet suburban neighborhood with his mother, father, and older sister Dee Dee. Quite often, Dexter slips away to his fully-equipped bedroom laboratory to solve problems ranging from saving the world to defeating schoolyard
Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory The "2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals" held that those business practices that have had a disparate impact effect on the older workers are now considered to be actionable under one national anti-discrimination law (Hamblett, 2004). The case does reaffirm a second Circuit precedent that had been set but which is at odds with what a majority of federal courts have held. The appeals court supported the idea that a layoff plan had been properly brought under
animals suffering from a specific disease but should not be found in healthy animals. 2. The specific microorganism should be isolated from the diseased animal and grown in pure culture on artificial laboratory media. 3. This freshly isolated microorganism, when inoculated into a healthy laboratory animal, should cause the same disease seen in the original animal. 4. The microorganism should be reisolated in pure culture from the experimental infection. In this exercise, Penicillium was utilized
This experiment was designed in order to see what relationships variables have in regards to a wave. Those variables include temperature, wavelength, frequency, velocity, and medium. This project was designed in order to see what frequencies react with what type of tubes, as well as to see what is required for different harmonics to form. Before starting the lab, I made the prediction that the smaller harmonics like the first harmonic will react with lower frequencies while the third harmonic will
