Chapter 16 covers mental and physical health and why both are important to student success. This chapter includes the topic of stress and stress management, healthy eating, the importance of exercise, and the importance of enough sleep. DISCLAIMER: This chapter addresses mental health concerns and is intended for educational purposes. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any mental illness. ACC students in need of mental health services can request an appointment with a Mental Health Counselor. If you or someone you know is in crisis or struggling with suicidal thoughts, call 988 (National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), chat 988lifeline.org, or text "HELLO" to the Crisis Text Line (741741).

Overview:This unit is presented as a series of cooperation, team buidling, and problem solving learning tasks. Learning tasks should begin as partner to partner, and progress to small group, large group, and finally, whole class. Standards 4 and Standards 5 are addessed in this unit. Teachers are encouraged to select the learning tasks that best fit their teaching style and students’ needs. Learning Tasks can be implemented across grade levels using different extensions and refinements.  Modifications and accomodations specific to your learners are strongly recommended.

This book is written for anybody who is intensely curious about nature and motion. Have you ever asked: Why do people, animals, things, images and empty space move? The answer leads to many adventures, and this book presents one of the best of them: the search for a precise, unified and final description of all motion.

The wish to describe all motion is a large endeavour. Fortunately, this large endeavour can be structured in the simple diagram shown in Figure 1. The final and unified description of motion, the topic of this book, corresponds to the highest point in the diagram. Searching for this final and unified description is an old quest. In the following, I briefly summarize its history and then present an intriguing, though speculative solution to the riddle.

The search for the final, unified description of motion is a story of many surprises. For example, twentieth-century research has shown that there is a smallest distance in nature. Research has also shown that matter cannot be distinguished from empty space at those small distances. A last surprise dates from this century: particles and space are best described as made of strands, instead of little spheres or points. The present text explains how to reach these unexpected conclusions. In particular, quantum field theory, the standard model of particle physics, general relativity and cosmology are shown to follow from strands. The three gauge interactions, the three particle generations and the three dimensions of space turn out to be due to strands. In fact, all the open questions of twentieth-century physics about the foundations of motion, all the millennium issues, can be solved with the help of strands.

The strand model, as presented in this text, is an unexpected result from a threefold aim that I have pursued since 1990, in the five previous volumes of this series: to present the basics of motion in a way that is up to date, captivating and simple. In retrospect, the aim for maximum simplicity has been central in deducing this speculation. While the previous volumes introduced, in an entertaining way, the established parts of physics, this volume presents, in the same entertaining and playful way, a speculation about unification. Nothing in this volume is established knowledge – yet. The text is the original presentation of the topic.

The search for a final theory is one of the great adventures of life: it leads to the limits of thought. The search overthrows our thinking habits about nature. A change in thinking habits can produce fear, often hidden by anger. But by overcoming our fears we gain strength and serenity. Changing thinking habits thus requires courage, but it also produces intense and beautiful emotions. Enjoy them!

"There are close to one million lymphoma survivors in the United States, and this number is increasing Most want to know how they can prevent cancer recurrence or progression A new study shows that physical activity can improve a patient's survival Researchers looked at physical activity data from over 1,350 lymphoma patients before and 3 years after diagnosis and found that those who increased their level of physical activity lived longer Higher levels of physical activity and increasing physical activity after diagnosis significantly improved overall survival, lymphoma-specific survival and event-free survival Those meeting American Cancer Society recommendations of at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise had the best outcomes The researchers also found a linear association between increasing physical activity and survival suggesting that any increase in activity -- even mild intensity activity such as walking -- can decrease the risk of de.."

The BIIG problem-solving method is unique in that it forces us to concentrate on decoding a real-world word problem completely into meaningful parts and aids us in finding and applying the right formula to easily arrive at the correct solution. As desired, it places less emphasis on the memorization of factual detail and more emphasis on the understanding of concepts. Evidently, this method is beneficial in many ways as it aids students in honing skills in critical thinking, logical approach and attention to detail. As a method for organizing information it helps students avoid errors and sets them on a path to succeed. As long as the numbers are “buddied up” with their units, “identified” by the appropriate variables, “isolated” within the context, and the answer is presented “gourmet”, or explained in terms of the original question, finding a solution to any complex problem will become seamless, understandable and enjoyable. This innovation in science education fosters a passion for learning and serves as a foundation for a new paradigm for problem-solving in any discipline of science worldwide.

Kid-friendly visuals for students are imperative to include in your gymnasium decor. The following resource includes five seperate PDF files. Each file contains a kid friendly visual for the SHAPE America's Standards. These may be posted in your gymnasium where you see fit. Standards have been remixed from the, "National Standards & Grade Level outcomes for K-12 Physical Education," book. The Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education can be found here: SHAPE America

This is a lesson introducing vector measurements, and discussing distance versus displacement as the first vector concept.

There is numerous research that shows the use of physical computing devices as a teaching tool in introductory computer programming classes, increases student interest. Cybersecurity is a field that is in high demand. Students should have the opportunity to be exposed to cybersecurity principles in the classroom, with the hope of sparking an interest in this growing field. This series of lessons will explore the use of LittleBits circuits to teach introductory cybersecurity principles and if it increases student interest in the field of cybersecurity.
