Case Study for Pain Assessment using the PQRSTU method.  Identifies how to find objective and subjective cues for pain.  

Julius Caesar's political themes provide an opportunity for students to look at politics in our own country. The class must first analyze how Brutus and Antony address the crowd in Rome. Then, the class will conduct their own political debate using the issues in the news now. 

Learning Objective: I will start the process of creating a series of paintings that show my interests and strengths as an artist.Your final project for this class will be painting a series of paintings. You will be working on this project for 3 weeks (approximately 14 hours). This week you will be planning out and deciding on what form your series will take and begin your paintings.Make sure you are painting a series of works you are interested in. You will be creating a series of 3 to 5 paintings that all have unified elements.This week, you will be coming up with the idea for your final series. You will submit an explanation of your series and also images of your preliminary sketches and begin writing your artist statement.Before you submit this creative work ask yourself a few questions; these are all questions to consider before you turn work in to be graded:Ask yourself if you spent enough time to make this work the best that it can be, or did you just rush in the end to get it done?If you just rushed in the end, what are you going to do differently next week?Really self evaluate your work and your process of working. What can you do to improve? What does improvement look like?Did you take into account the different resources and artists/designers we have learned about in this class?

This is the video that I showed embeded in the pdf in case it doesn't come up. It is from YouTube and is created by Sesame Street not by me. 

Students work in groups to collect fossils and sediments from the Hamilton Group (Devonian), process their samples, and determine the paleocology and diversity metrics for each formation in the Hamilton Group. Analysis also includes comparing collection techniques (bulk vs. targeted) and diversity of each formation. Each student individually writes a paper summarizing their work.

Students are assigned a client who has an option to buy a very large
tract of land in western Virginia. On this land she plans to build a
large residence with a scenic view, a full basement, a septic system,
and a paved driveway for access. For that site, students must use maps,
aerial images, and soil survey reports to evaluate the geologic setting
and the geomorphic processes, both active and ancient. Their goal is to
warn the client of problems and alert her to resources on the property.

Designed for a geomorphology course

Has minimal/no quantitative component

Uses geomorphology to solve problems in other fields

Lesson is utilized for “@ home” learning prior to the fitness testing portion of the school year. Students are provided with a variety of exercises to be performed at home during remote learning period. The exercises are intended to improve the students fitness as well as performance on upcoming fitness assessments.

Students are provided with a dinosaur article from a popular magazine (e.g. Discover or Natural History) or the journal Science. Their task is to dissect the article distinguishing
evidence from interpretation. They need to recognize the various hypotheses presented and also evaluate the strength of these ideas. Then during classroom discussion, they explore the implications of their dissections. For example they would address some of the following questions: Are other interpretations possible? Where have the authors over interpreted the evidence? What are the strongest interpretations? How could the ideas be further tested?
What type of evidence would be sufficient to falsify or further support the interpretations
of the papers?

This inquiry project is dedicated to inform people how parent involvement can positively and negatively effect students but also how parents can get involved.

Esta cartilha didática foi pensada no sentido de dinamizar o ensino e aprendizagem em tópicos de
ciências ambientais, já que muitos conceitos, na maioria das vezes, são trabalhados de maneira muito
abstrata sem que haja uma aproximação com a realidade do público envolvido, o que faz com que o
processo de conhecimento não seja muito significativo.
Nesse contexto, esse material educacional tem como objetivo auxiliar professores, alunos e a
comunidade na busca de entender um pouco mais sobre a acidez da água de consumo, tendo em vista que o
pH deve ser considerado como um indicador de potabilidade da água destinada ao abastecimento humano.
Assim, a água é um dos fatores abióticos mais importantes para a existência da vida, uma vez que é
extremamente relevante que esse recurso mineral esteja em condições adequadas para ser consumido por
todos os seres vivos, em especial a espécie humana, sendo que ela não deve causar malefícios à saúde
daqueles que a consomem.
Pensando nisso, esta cartilha didática mostrará como fazer testes para verificar a acidez ou a
basicidade da água de consumo por meio de um indicador natural ácido-base, o qual será utilizado o
extrato alcoólico da planta Pariri (Arrabiadea chica), muito comum na região amazônica para fins
medicinais, para essa verificação, já que ela faz parte de um grande grupo de vegetais, entre eles a
beterraba e repolho roxo que possuem, em sua estrutura química, as Antocianina, as quais podem ser
utilizadas como indicadores naturais de pH, pois são capazes de mudar de cor dependendo das
características físico-químicas da solução em que estão inseridas.
Logo, aquele que fizer uso deste produto didático poderá estabelecer uma relação entre os conceitos
teóricos e sua realidade. Como exemplo, é a alteração na coloração dos corantes naturais, quando
submetidos em diferentes graus de acidez, que podem ser verificados em diversas substâncias, a exemplo
dos produtos domésticos, tais como vinagre e água sanitária. Além disso, uma outra aplicação é a
avaliação da acidez da água da consumo, bem como a chuva ácida que podem ser indicativos de poluição
hídrica.
Desse modo, acreditamos que este material educativo contribuirá para tornar os conceitos aqui
apresentados menos abstratos e mais acessíveis a todos, já que haverá uma aproximação do conhecimento
científico com o cotidiano das pessoas a partir do conteúdo sobre acidez e basicidade contido na cartilha.
