This article has a ton of information on adolescent development such as physical development and their behavior. It gives statistics and shows the differences between boys and girls adolescent development. It also gives parenting advice about their kids sexuality and safety tips.

At the beginning of the course, each student is assigned a unique blob - or a piece of material of a particular shape with specific material properties (density, bulk modulus, composition, viscosity, volatile content, etc) that is residing within the mantle at a specific environment (depth, pressure, temperature). Then as the semester continues as a topic is covered the student must assess (either quantitatively or qualitatively) what observable would be associated with their blob (for example, gravity anomalies, geoid anomalies, surface expressions, seismic tomography, phase transition topography). The student then develops a portfolio of their blob and its observables to then present at the end of the course with an explanation/interpretation for the source of the blob culiminating at building a geo-story around their anomaly.

Some blobs could be amorphous anomalies whereas other could have physical significance (though best not to tell the students ahead of time so they can make their own discovery as to what the blob is or isn't) such as subducted slabs at the CMB (or 660 km), plumes, lithospheric drip, lithospheric root, or a boring typical piece of the mantle.

Lesson Plan Date:                                 Grade Level: Kindergarten  Concept: Addition Objectives:Condition: The students will use manipulatives such as blocks to add by grouping. Behavioral Verb: The students will be able to identify addition problems by using counting blocks. Criteria:The students will have to complete 3 addition problems correctly before moving on.  Introduction: We will use real-world applications to engage the children in the lesson. The students know their numbers they are going to use their prior knowledge to group the manipulatives together to make addition problems and solve them.  Vocabulary:Addition, numbers, objects, counting, sorting, identifying, sequence, groups, biggest, smallest, more than, and less than A:Body of Lesson:The students are going to learn how to add groups by having a set of blocks that are split into two or three part with a certain number of blocks in each group.They then are going to put two or more groups of blocks together to see how many blocks there is all together.  A:Accommodations/Modifications: There will be ample time for each student to complete their work. The teacher (I) will be going around to help the children if they do not understand the lesson.  A:Multiple Intelligence(s) Addressed:A verbal explanation of the lesson along with hands on, visual, and practiced work. For visual learners there will be flashcards they are able to look at, for the kinesthetic learners there will be the objects that they can physically touch. For auditory learners there will be the directions and instructions of the activity.  Assessment: We will be using pre-assessments to see what the students know before we talk about the new topic, then we will use summative assessment to see what they learned after the lesson.  Materials: The students will be using flashcards to physically see the addition problem then they will use objects to put together to get the answer.   Standards:MA 0.2 ALGEBRA: Students will communicate algebraic concepts using multiple representations to reason, solve problems, and make connections within mathematics and across disciplines. MA 0.2.1 Algebraic Relationships: Students will demonstrate, represent, and show relationships with expressions and equations. MA 0.2.1.a Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, showing each decomposition with a model, drawing, or equation (e.g., 7 = 4 + 3 and 7 = 1 + 6). MA 0.2.1.b For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, showing the answer with a model, drawing, or equation. MA 0.2.2 Algebraic Processes: Students will apply the operational properties when adding and subtracting. MA 0.2.3 Applications: Students will solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction. MA 0.2.3.a Solve real-world problems that involve addition and subtraction within 10 (e.g., by using objects, drawings or equations to represent the problem).

The course includes survey and special topics designed for graduate students in the brain and cognitive sciences. It emphasizes ethological studies of natural behavior patterns and their analysis in laboratory work, with contributions from field biology (mammology, primatology), sociobiology, and comparative psychology. It stresses mammalian behavior but also includes major contributions from studies of other vertebrates and of invertebrates. It covers some applications of animal-behavior knowledge to neuropsychology and behavioral pharmacology.

This course analyzes the functions of a complex variable and the calculus of residues. It also covers subjects such as ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, Bessel and Legendre functions, and the Sturm-Liouville theory.

The course aims at providing the fundamental tools for effective C++ programming in the context of high-performance computing. The tools include generic programming techniques, API development, and specific C++-11/14/17 constructs. Starting from a basic knowledge of C++, the attendees should be able to start using C++ language to engineer durable abstractions to develop and optimize applications. Example usage of modern C++ concepts and features are taken from scientific applications used by the HPC community, giving the attendees the opportunity to see the presented tools in action in real world cases.  Exercises are provided from a GitHub repository.  This material is meant to reflect the current state of the current C++ standard.  As the standard changes, some aspects of this course may become outdated.This course is an integral part of the ESiWACE-2 project, and we acknowledge the partial funding from that project.  The contact person is william.sawyer@cscs.ch. 

Following a brief classroom discussion of relevant principles, each student in this course completes the paper design of several advanced circuits such as multiplexers, sample-and-holds, gain-controlled amplifiers, analog multipliers, digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital converters, and power amplifiers. One of each student’s designs is presented to the class, and one may be built and evaluated. Associated laboratory assignments emphasize the use of modern analog building blocks. This course is worth 12 Engineering Design Points.

Data structures play a central role in modern computer science. You interact with data structures even more often than with algorithms (think Google, your mail server, and even your network routers). In addition, data structures are essential building blocks in obtaining efficient algorithms. This course covers major results and current directions of research in data structure.

This course will focus for a large part on MOSFET and CMOS, but also on heterojunction BJT, and photonic devices.First non-ideal characteristics of MOSFETs will be discussed, like channel-length modulation and short-channel effects. We will also pay attention to threshold voltage modification by varying the dopant concentration. Further, MOS scaling will be discussed. A combination of an n-channel and p-channel MOSFET is used for CMOS devices that form the basis for current digital technology. The operation of a CMOS inverter will be explained. We will explain in more detail how the transfer characteristics relate to the CMOS design.

An open-source textbook covering vector calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, and Fourier series. The textbook is used in a first-year graduate level course in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. It undergoes extensive revisions annually, but is relatively complete.

Designed to familiarize students with theories and analytical tools useful for studying research literature, this course is a survey of fluid mechanical problems in the water environment. Because of the inherent nonlinearities in the governing equations, we shall emphasize the art of making analytical approximations not only for facilitating calculations but also for gaining deeper physical insight. The importance of scales will be discussed throughout the course in lectures and homeworks. Mathematical techniques beyond the usual preparation of first-year graduate students will be introduced as a part of the course. Topics vary from year to year.

Theoretical topics of fluid dynamics relevant to natural phenomena or man-made hazards in water and atmosphere. Basic law of fluid motion. Scaling and approximations. Slow flows, with applications to drag on a particle and mud flow on a slope. Boundary layers: jets and plumes in pure fluids or in porous media. Thermal and buoyancy effects, selective withdrawal and internal waves. Transient boundary layers in impulsive flows or waves. Induced streaming and mass transport. Dispersion in steady flows or in waves. Effects of earth rotation on coastal flows. Wind induced flow in shallow seas. Stratified seas and coastal upwelling.
