Brain-Based Lesson: Polymers
Unrestricted Use
Public Domain
Rating
0.0 stars

The concept of polymers is taught after students have learned about atoms and molecules. We first build up the background knowledge of the Periodic Table of Elements and the structure of an atom, then begin to combine atoms to create molecules. We create models of atoms and molecules, allowing students to visualize what is normally unable to be seen (a Science and Engineering Practice). Students learn that the way we combine atoms (structure) and the atoms we use (composition) impact the properties that a substance will have. After some time, we begin to introduce that we can combine molecules together in similar ways that we combine atoms. These repeating patterns of molecules are called polymers. Which is where this lesson falls. This is their instruction into what a polymer is, its naming conventions, and how depending on the molecule used, we can create synthetic materials that have specific properties that suit our needs.

Brain is a Computer

Rating
0.0 stars

Students learn about the similarities between the human brain and its engineering counterpart, the computer. Since students work with computers routinely, this comparison strengthens their understanding of both how the brain works and how it parallels that of a computer. Students are also introduced to the "stimulus-sensor-coordinator-effector-response" framework for understanding human and robot actions.

Writing is a time-honored tradition.  It can be so much more than a few paragraphs about what you did this summer.  What are some of your favorite stories? Movies? Songs? Websites? All of these were written by someone. But, few were written in one fell swoop. Brainstorming is a widely used practice for generating ideas.  In this lesson we will be letting our imaginations run wild.  One of the most important aspects of writing is knowing what you are going to write about.

Bread and Roses Strike of 1912: Two Months in Lawrence, Massachusetts, that Changed Labor History
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

The Lawrence Textile Strike was a public protest mainly of immigrant workers from several countries, including Austria, Belgium, Cuba, Canada, France, England, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Syria, and Turkey. According to the 1910 census, 65% of mill workers (many of whom eventually struck) lived in the United States for less than 10 years; 47% for less than five years. Prompted by a wage cut, the walkout spread quickly from mill to mill across the city. Strikers defied the assumptions of conservative trade unions within the American Federation of Labor that immigrant, largely female and ethnically diverse workers could not be organized. The Lawrence strike is referred to as the “Bread and Roses” strike and “The Strike for Three Loaves." The first known source to do so was a 1916 labor anthology, The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest by Upton Sinclair. Prior to that, the slogan, used as the title of a 1911 poem by James Oppenheim, had been attributed to ‘Chicago Women Trade Unionists.’ It has also been attributed to socialist union organizer Rose Schneiderman. James Oppenheim claimed his seeing women strikers in Lawrence carrying a banner proclaiming “We Want Bread and Roses Too” inspired the poem, “Bread and Roses.” The poem, however, was written and published in 1911 prior to the strike. Later the poem was set to music by Caroline Kohlsaat and then by Mimi Farina. The song and slogan are now important parts of the labor movement and women’s movement worldwide. This exhibition was made in collaboration with the Lawrence History Center and the University of Massachusetts Lowell History Department.
