In inclusive early childhood programs and settings, social and learning activities are designed for the participation of all children. Objects, tools, and materials that are selected for inclusive activities provide options for engaging through multiple sensory, physical, and perceptual means. The Quality Indicators for Early Childhood describe how agencies, programs, and services can work together to improve the accessibility of early learning environments for children with disabilities.

Interactive hx diagram (Mollier) for displaying the changes in state of humid air at sensible temperature change, wet cooling, mixture air, humidification and custom state points. Automatic calculation of the required heat flow for cooling and heating. Free online tool, no registration required.
More detailed information: To analyze changes of state of moist air normally a diagram with the specific enthalpy as the ordinate and the humidity ration as the abscissa is used. This specific type of diagram was proposed in 1923 by the German professor of applied physics and mechanics, Richard Mollier. The Mollier diagram is respectively created for a certain constant pressure, usually the atmospheric pressure (p≈1bar). The thermodynamic properties of moist air are represented in the state diagram as lines of constant state variables - so-called isolines.

This is a lesson about planetary atmospheres. Learners will interpret real spectral graphs from missions to determine what some of Earth, Venus, and Mars’ atmosphere is composed of and then mathematically compare the amount of the greenhouse gas, CO2, on the planets Venus, Earth, and Mars in order to determine which has the most. Students brainstorm to figure out what things, along with greenhouse gases, can affect a planet’s temperature. The activity is part of Project Spectra, a science and engineering program for middle-high school students, focusing on how light is used to explore the Solar System.

Short Description: Within these pages, Constance Hodder's poems explore the inner self in context to the physical world.
Long Description: Within these pages, Constance Hodder finds her voice in poems written that explore inner self often in context of the the physical world. Living out in rural Minnesota surrounded by nature, she weaves this imagery into the fabric of her poetry. Sometimes her poems revisit the past to look closely at life’s strengths as well as it’s fragility; sometimes they take a humorous or fanciful look into her present time in life. In all her poems, she takes the reader into her world of where life remains precious though sometimes difficult.

6.637 covers the fundamentals of optical signals and modern optical devices and systems from a practical point of view. Its goal is to help students develop a thorough understanding of the underlying physical principles such that device and system design and performance can be predicted, analyzed, and understood. Most optical systems involve the use of one or more of the following: sources (e.g., lasers and light-emitting diodes), light modulation components (e.g., liquid-crystal light modulators), transmission media (e.g., free space or fibers), photodetectors (e.g., photodiodes, photomultiplier tubes), information storage devices (e.g., optical disk), processing systems (e.g., imaging and spatial filtering systems) and displays (LCOS microdisplays). These are the topics covered by this course.

This course combines a seminar format with fieldwork to examine strategies of planning and control for growth and land use, chiefly at the municipal level. Specific topics include growth and its local consequences; land use planning approaches; and implementation tools including innovative zoning and regulatory techniques, physical design, and natural systems integration. Projects are arranged with small teams serving municipal clients.

Students will work in groups to make observations, identify aquifers, describe aquifer properties and measure hydraulic head in a physical groundwater flow model. The information collected will be used to answer questions pertaining to the groundwater flow system. The activity serves to consolidate the key concepts covered in lecture materials. These concepts include the water cycle, hydraulic head, types of aquifers, hydraulic conductivity, permeability, Darcy's Law, hydraulic gradient, porosity and groundwater contamination.

In this lesson, students learn about human resources, productivity, human capital, and physical capital. They participate in three rounds of a reasoning activity. From round to round they receive training and tools to help them improve their reasoning ability and thus increase their productivity. Students will then listen to a story about how the Empire State Building was built and identify examples of key concepts mentioned or shown in the book.

This course will focus on basic technologies for the treatment of urban sewage. Unit processes involved in the treatment chain will be described as well as the physical, chemical and biological processes involved. There will be an emphasis on water quality and the functionality of each unit process within the treatment chain. After the course one should be able to recognize the process units, describe their function and make simple design calculations on urban sewage treatment plants.

With the emerging genetic testing companies such as “23 and Me” and “Ancestry”, it is becoming more popular and accessible for families to test their own genes rather than from a primary care provider. The purpose of this activity is to analyze multiple angles of genetic testing. Students will look at multiple areas of health including mental, emotional, and physical health and how it can impact their personal health and the health of loved ones.
