The third grade class will need to write an essay and a trifold persuading the students and the teacher to adopt a class pet. The students will need to use the computer to reasearch good reasosn why their pet would be beneficial to the classroom. Their trifold will have pictures and information about their pet. IDOE standard 3.W.3.1 will be taught with this lesson. It states that 3rd grade students need to be able to write a persuasive texts. Another standard from IDOE is 3.SL.4.2. This students need to be to present their persuasive essay orally to the class. Part 1:  Driving question: Should the third grade class adopt a class pet? Part 2: GrabberWhat is your grabber?While the students are writing, a dog walks into the classroom. I’ll say. “How did you get in here?” I’ll attempt to get the dog and take him out of the classroom. Then I’ll show the students a video about the good and bad reasons about having a pet in the classroom. I won’t show the whole video, just the first 3 or 4 minutes. Then the students will be presented with the project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbwiYOA-RcY Culminating activities: The students will need to conduct research on the computer about the animal they want to choose or an animal that would not be a good choice for the classroom. They will need to print out pictures of the animal and write down facts about it for the trifold. They will write their essay with some information from the internet. They will write information and glue pictures in the trifold. Lastly, they will present it to the class by reading the essay and sharing the trifold.

Our three friends talk about plans to build a spaceport on the Moon. Then they build a habitat for Ruth's new pet hamster, Rocket, that has everything she needs, just like a Moon spaceport would.

Surveys the literature on the cognitive and neural organization of human memory and learning. Includes consideration of working memory and executive control, episodic and semantic memory, and implicit forms of memory. Emphasizes integration of cognitive theory with recent insights from functional neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI and PET).

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Plastics have countless uses. However, the mismanagement of plastic waste has resulted in widespread ocean pollution, which could persist in the marine environment for hundreds of years. But growing research suggests that certain microorganisms could be harnessed to break down this waste. The key is verifying whether plastic-degrading microorganisms actually occur in the biofilms that colonize the surfaces of plastic particles, or the “plastisphere", and understanding their temporal characteristics. Recently, researchers found a high diversity of microbes that varied in their community composition over time when cultured on different types of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. They also found evidence of PET degradation by these microorganisms based on a combined proteogenomic and metabolomic approach, which confirmed that two newly identified isolates from these communities are able to degrade PET using different pathways, one of which may be novel..."

Pocket pets are small animals that are commonly had as pets in households with children. This lesson explores the needs, conditions and housing for the different types of pocket pets. 

Memory is not a unitary faculty, but rather consists of multiple forms of learning that differ in their operating characteristics and neurobiological substrates. This seminar will consider current debates regarding the cognitive and neural architectures of memory, specifically focusing on recent efforts to address these controversies through application of functional neuroimaging (primarily fMRI and PET).

Professor Jes Søgaard, SDU, forklarer principper for Økonomiske evalueringer (ØE). Derudover gennemgås evalueringstyper, design og analyse, rapporterede mål fra ØE samt begrænsinger og faldgruber. Jes Søgaard taler om hvordan man kan udføre analyser, som så kan bruges til at tage stilling til hvordan man vælger behandlingsmetoder i forhold til økonomiske omkostninger. Et eksempel er at undersøge: "Hvad koster lungekræft i Danmark i behandlingsudgift?"
