There is no greater introduction to world literature than Homer's Iliad. The great epic poem tells the story of the Bronze Age war between the Achaeans (Greeks) and Trojans, the great warriors who did the fighting, the woman they were fighting for (and fighting over), and the gods who egged them on. This is a new, 21st century verse translation by Michael Heumann. It seeks to retain the spirit and language of Homer's original Greek while making it readable and enjoyable for a modern audience. Michael Heumann is a Professor of English at Imperial Valley College in California. He holds a PhD in English from the University of California, Riverside. This is his first translation.

Children and young people play an important role in migratory processes because they may act as links between their families, local communities and their school. Schooling and linguistic immersion in the host society can help young people learn the official language(s) of their new country faster than their parents or other adults. When they broker in a school context, they bring linguistic diversity to the school and display truly multilingual and multicultural skills that are part of their daily life. This Teacher's Book aims to help you and your students explore some of the complexity involved in young people taking on such roles in modern societies. Therefore, the aim of this Teacher's Book is twofold: (a) to celebrate multilingualism and raise awareness of young people translating and interpreting in schools, an activity also known as child language brokering; and (b) to provide a resource containing background information and interactive activities aimed at giving teachers tools for a deeper understanding of what language brokering by young people usually entails, so that you can then pass it on to your students.

Students learn how engineers apply their understanding of DNA to manipulate specific genes to produce desired traits, and how engineers have used this practice to address current problems facing humanity. They learn what genetic engineering means and examples of its applications, as well as moral and ethical problems related to its implementation. Students fill out a flow chart to list the methods to modify genes to create GMOs and example applications of bacteria, plant and animal GMOs.

Can you avoid the boulder field and land safely, just before your fuel runs out, as Neil Armstrong did in 1969? Our version of this classic video game accurately simulates the real motion of the lunar lander with the correct mass, thrust, fuel consumption rate, and lunar gravity. The real lunar lander is very hard to control.

This is a supplemental activity sheet for Mathematics in the Modern World. This will assist the teachers in mastering the concepts of translating mathematical phrases into symbols. This will also enable the students to establish mastery of the learning content.

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:

"Cold shock domain containing E1, or CSDE1, is emerging as a powerful protein in the cell. Growing evidence suggests that CSDE1 reprograms how RNA codes are ultimately translated into proteins, which means CSDE1 could be pivotal in how cells respond to internal and external changes like those brought on by disease. In a new review, researchers outline a model that could explain CSDE1’s reprogramming ability. According to the model, CSDE1 acts as a connector between RNAs and the specific proteins capable of regulating or altering those RNAs. For regulating proteins that can’t normally bind to RNAs, CSDE1 provides a bridge between the two. For proteins that do bind to RNAs, CSDE1 enhances that connection, and for proteins that can but don’t typically bind to certain RNAs, CSDE1 reshapes those RNAs to make binding possible. How CSDE1 connects proteins to RNAs in response to stress isn’t yet clear, but equipped with this new model, researchers could begin to understand CSDE1’s role in human disease..."

"Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor and represents a major health problem across the globe. Understanding how gliomas form has proven difficult, especially at the molecular level, but growing evidence points to the important roles played by non-coding RNAs, especially small non-coding RNAs that interact with PIWI proteins, or piRNAs. piRNAs execute functions associated with epigenetic reprogramming and can regulate transcription, translation, development, and mRNA stability. In fact, piRNAs have been detected in many types of cancer and are known to be involved in the development and spread of certain tumors. piRNAs are formed either through the “primary processing pathway” or the secondary “ping-pong cycle” pathway. In conjunction with PIWI proteins, piRNAs execute epigenetic regulation of genes by modifying histones. In this way, piRNAs can influence numerous molecular signaling pathways associated with the formation and spread of gliomas, including the PI3K/AKT and TNF signaling pathways..."

This interactive Flash animation allows students to explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement. In the simplest level, users estimate the number of small line segments that can fit into a larger line segment. Intermediate and advanced levels offer feature games that explore area of rectangles and circles, and volume of spheres and cubes. Related lesson plans and student guides are available for middle school and high school classroom instruction. Editor's Note: When the linear dimensions of an object change by some factor, its area and volume change disproportionately: area in proportion to the square of the factor and volume in proportion to its cube. This concept is the subject of entrenched misconception among many adults. This game-like simulation allows kids to use spatial reasoning, rather than formulas, to construct geometric sense of area and volume. This is part of a larger collection developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET).

Putting a graph on the floor using painters tape students practice translation, rotation, reflection,dilation, by doing these concepts to themselves while standing in the graph.

Video lecture on quadratic equations and their graphs. The video connects the equation, the graph, the roots, and the minimum or maximum of the quadratic function.

This website includes the entire Qur'an in Arabic and is translated into more than 30 languages. Users can select which chapter they'd like to view and can also search for words and phrases in multiple languages; for English, six different translations are available, as is a transliteration of the Qur'an to aid in reading. The tafsir of al-Jalalain is on the website in Arabic as well. An audio component is also available.

The activity is designed to teach the protein production steps by putting the students into the processes by becoming DNA triplets, RNA codons, and transfer RNA.

This is the second part of a tutorial on the very basics of Arabic grammar. Using vocabulary built on the Qur'an and the hadith, the tutorial uses vocabulary lists and translation exercises to teach grammatical points. The answers are included in the exercises. Grammar covered in the second half includes subjects, objects, verbs, verb tenses and conjugations, passive and active voice, imperatives, masdars, passive and active participles, the ten measures of the Arabic verb, pronouns attached to verbs, and some final notes on the idaafa, plurals, and translation in general.
