Generation Velcro, By Dorothy Woodend
1. Generation Velcro, By Dorothy Woodend
In her article, "Generation Velcro", Dorothy Woodend emphasises that today's youth is ill–prepared
for the harsh realities of the world because there is "loss of knowledge" (para. 5, p. 182). Woodend
states that children are cradled and sheltered and are stripped of the opportunity to become self–
sufficient. Woodend ponders over Jane Jacob's words, in which the author discusses that "the loss of
knowledge, once vanished, is so difficult to regain" (para. 5, p. 182). Woodend uses this to suggest
that it's important for a society to safe–keep valuable skills, otherwise, the new generation will
suffer with minimal knowledge and few applicable skills when faced with calamities. Reflecting on
a news article written by Meeru Dhalwala, the author

2. Collision Physics Lab Report
For the Momentum, Energy, and Collisions experiment, my group and I weighed and placed two
carts along a frictionless track, and ran three different types of collisions. In order to create an elastic
collision, we used two magnetic bumpers that had the same charge. The second collision, my group
and I used Velcro bumpers in order to create a total inelastic collision. Finally, for the last collision
preformed, we used the Velcro and magnetic bumper to produce an inelastic collision. To record the
velocities of the carts before and after the collision, we placed Vernier photogates along the
beginning and end of the track. Photogate 1 recorded the velocity of cart 1 and photogate 2 recorded
the velocity of cart 2. After obtaining the velocities ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The mass of three clamps with hangers was determined, and the average mass of a clamps and
hanger was determined. A 100 g mass was then hung on the 10 cm mark of the meter stick using a
hanger, and then a 50 g mass was hung on the other end to a point where the meter stick was once
again balanced. The values of the distances and the lever arm lengths were determined and recorded
while performing the experiment. My group and I tested differing weights and lengths along the
meter stick in order to practice calculating the torque of the system. To calculate the torque, we used
the Ʃ풯 principle and the torque diagram to compose a 풯net equation. Furthermore, after the
formation of the torque net equation, we substituted F_┴r for all the 풯 in the equation and solved
for the position of the second hanging mass. Furthermore, theoretical was just an approximation of

5. Personal Narrative: My Captone Project
My capstone project was a dog walker and a wheelchair for Seely. Since the Humane Society didn't
know if she'd be able to get a prosthetic or not, my group designed two products for two situations.
The walker will help Seely learn how to use a prosthetic leg, if she gets one, and the wheelchair will
allow her to walk without her front legs. Starting this project, I had a general knowledge of the
design process that I'd used in many of my earlier projects, as well as other knowledge and skills
from specific projects. The prosthetic arm project taught me how to make a functional product on a
slim budget, as well as important aspects to consider when designing a prosthetic, such as comfort
and ease of use. From the Rube Goldberg project and the edible car challenge, I learned how to
work through problems and improvise solutions. When the mousetrap couldn't launch the marble
high enough because of the limited space, we mounted it onto a ramp. When my edible car couldn't
roll well, I used a different design, and then another design when that ... Show more content on

When putting together the initial design, my group had to consider many of the same elements my
partner and I did when designing our prosthetic arm. In both projects, we didn't want to spend too
much money, but still wanted our final result to function well. For the capstone project, durability
was also an important factor, since dogs can be hyper and often run a lot. We used common, yet
durable materials in our wheelchair and walker, such as PVC pipe, copper pipe, bike wheels, and the
back of a backpack. While building the projects, we ran into plenty of issues; the wheels wouldn't
stay on the walker, the fabric kept coming un–velcroed, the pipes of the wheelchair twisted when it
was used, etc., etc. We had to come up with creative solutions on the fly, just like I'd done

Special education teachers have to implement a variety of instructional strategies for their students
in order to individualize the curriculum for students to participate in the general education
curriculum. This is in reference to CEC Professional Standards #4: Instructional Strategies. Also, I
understood how students with disabilities have the "same curriculum as peers without disabilities to
have the opportunity to learn. Some may learn to alternate achievement standards" (Class
PowerPoint: What We Need to Know). Lastly, after developing the lesson plan and actually
implementing it to my focus learner, I realized how "on–the–spot" they need to be and be able to
work through the challenges that may arise. At the beginning of my lesson, the student wanted to
remove all of the materials from the Velcro and then put them back on. I allowed the student to do
this because this is what made her feel comfortable as well as getting a feel for the materials. This
was not apart of my lesson but this made me understand that while teaching students with
disabilities things do not go as planned and I need to be ready to make adjustments when needed.
Special education teachers have a heart of gold to accommodate for a wide range of abilities, which
is why this experience has opened my eyes. Thus, special education teachers play a huge role in
making sure all students are able to learn by differentiating instruction, materials, and learning styles

players still fielded the ball barehanded, which gave an advantage to the hitters. One of the first
players that used a glove was Doug Allison, a catcher for the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Gloves have
originally been made out of leather. Most players used to wear gloves on both hands to secure the

A glove is typically worn on the non–dominant hand, so you can throw with your dominant hand for
example, a right–handed player would wear a glove on the left hand because you are supposed to

made more carefully and delicately and more efficiently.They are also made more precisely because
every detail on the glove matters There are still many advancements to come in the age of the

10. Velcro Effect Of Tiny Hooks On A Burr
Everyone uses Velcro in some way, whether it's on shoes or if it's simply just to stick two things
together. Velcro, which is inspired by burrs (a type of seed case or flower head), is a very famous
example of biomimicry. In 1941, when Swiss engineer George de Mestral was removing burrs from
his dog after a hunting trip, he decided to observe them and see how they worked. When he looked
at the burrs under a microscope, George de Mestral noticed that there are tiny hooks at the end of
each spine on a bur. These miniscule hooks are the reason why burrs stick onto things like animal
fur, clothing, and hair. The hooks catch onto anything with loops, which animal fur, clothing, and
hair all have. This one observation inspired George de Mestral

12. Life Cycle Assessment ( Lca )
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique used to quantify environmental outcomes– energy,
materials used, and released wastes– assignable to a product. It assesses the environmental impacts
of their supply chain activities as a whole. By looking at the full picture of the activities, a firm such
as Procter and Gamble (P&G) could view the environmental tradeoffs of product innovation. In
efforts to sustain competitive advantage with their popular–selling item, disposable diapers, the use
of LCA aides in making decisions for producing greener products for its customers, and to reduce
environmental footprint. The public is becoming widely concerned with the products effects on
resources and the environment. "These effects occur at every stage in a product's life cycle–from the
extraction of the raw materials from the ground through the processing, manufacturing, and
transportation phases, ending with use and disposal or recycling" (Le–van,1995, p.7,). The present
study aims to evaluate the life cycle system of disposable diapers in efforts to assign understanding
of the sustainability benefits of Life Cycle Assessment.

METHOD: An air hockey table was set up and a video camera on a tripod was placed over the air

This would have created friction which is regarded as an external force; therefore the pucks were no
longer in an isolated system. Another random error occurred in the first experiment where the red
puck was initially held down to prevent it from moving and released when the black puck collided
with it. Due to the person's reaction time, holding it in place may have interfered with the collision
as it was an external force and this may have impacted upon the results.
Several systematic occurred in this experiment, but the most important one would have been the fact
that the air hockey table was not completely level. This impacted upon the experiment in two ways.
In the first experiment where the red puck is initially stationary, as the table was not level it moved
around before the black puck collided with it. To overcome this the red puck had to be held in place
and as mentioned before this would have provided and external force acting upon the puck. The
unevenness of the air hockey table also meant that there was a possibility of friction acting on the
pucks while they were moving. In the third collision with the Velcro another systematic error
occurred. When the two pucks collided and stuck together they did not continue straight, instead
they rotated. This is not linear momentum but rather it is angular momentum. This is reflected in the
results as the magnitude of the initial and final momentum of the system is equal, but the

Biology: Burs are the seed of certain dry fruit that has evolved to carry hook like appendages to
attach to animals, debris, and other possible carrying materials to increase the likelihood of
relocating to a suitable environment. The hook like structures also act as a physical defense against
herbivores. The burs attach to passing animals via loop hooking with the fur. Although each
microscopic loop hooking takes a relatively small amount of force to break, the combination of
many hooks attaching requires great force to break. The dispersal method works by the animal
typically removing the bur purposefully after some time following migration due to irritation.

21. J.k. Rowling 's The World Of The Olympics
Quidditch in the Olympics
Introduction
Would it interest you to know that the newest game in the Olympics was going to include flying on
booms 200 feet in the air and smacking away balls that are hurdling towards you at 70 miles per
hour? I would personally be VERY interested, but sadly we have to settle and fight for the next best
thing. Grounded (or mugglized, as the Potterheads would call it) Quidditch.
History of Quidditch
The sport quidditch was first played in 2005 at Middlebury College by Harry Potter fan, freshman
Xander Manshel. Xander had been looking for something he could start that showed his
appreciation for his love of sports and his love of J.K. Rowling's best selling book series, Harry
Potter.
Once Xander got a team together it's popularity started to grow around campus and six more teams
were formed. In 2006 quidditch players told their friends about the newest sport and quidditch's
popularity grows to more campuses. In 2007 the first quidditch world cup is held between
Middlebury and Vassar community colleges. Quidditch becomes one of the most popular clubs on
campuses. Quidditch continues to grow in popularity up until 2010 when the USQ (United States
Quidditch) is established as the first nonprofit quidditch organization.
Description Of Quidditch
In the Harry Potter series the protagonist, Harry, is chosen to be on his school's quidditch team.
Harry's quidditch team has most of the same rules as the modern teams but his are a little bit more

23. Safety Advantages And Disadvantages
New product
As every parent knows, all infants and toddlers must have a child safety seat when riding in a
vehicle. Parents know the importance of car seats, but dread getting their children into them. Small
children don't like being restrained; most parents struggle daily not only with getting their children
in the car but also with seatbelts. Buckles get stuck and seat belts are buried underneath the child,
making it difficult to pull their arms through the restraint. While this is not a new product, it is a
design change for car seats that includes built in devices such as iron free magnets, hooks, or Velcro
that will facilitate the process of getting children safely into and out of their car seats without the
stress and power struggle parents often face when traveling with young children.
Product development process
While developing this design change safety has to be our number one priority. This product design
may include iron free magnets, hooks, or velcro. Some magnets contain iron and can be harmful to
children. Other magnets can be too small and if not attached properly can become a choking hazard
to the child. In order to prevent injuries, car seats will be inspected for proper placement of
instruments and iron levels in magnets. Trusted car seat companies will also test this new product in
order for them to meet safety standards.
Accidental swallowing of magnets is a growing problem for kids that parents should be aware of.
When a child swallows a magnet, there is no visual evidence of it and diagnosis can be delayed.
When magnets become attracted and pull toward each other, they can form sores on the lining of the
stomach or intestine, and in some cases, can perforate them. A large number of children in recent
years have needed surgery to remove these magnets. (Roth, M. 2012). Properly placing the products
new tools out of the child's reach, and testing out the final product for its safety can prevent
accidents and serious injuries. Creating a design with these inexpensive built in devises will allow
parents to easily get their child in and out of their seats with no problems. Once the child is removed
from their seat, these devises will allow the child's seat belt to stay open and out of

Making the choice to swaddle your baby is the easy part, choosing the right swaddle blanket can be

others are sewn with buttons, velcro and other notions to keep your baby secured. There are three
main kinds of swaddle blankets: the large square; the T– shaped with a foot pocket; the zippered in
kind. There are just a couple of points to consider when choosing your swaddle blanket. A baby

25. Difference Between Cloth And Cloth Diapers
Cloth diapers versus disposable diapers there are many similarities and differences to consider. First
there is health & environmental, no matter the choice one makes it must be safe for your child and
our planet. Second there is conveniences and price which is a big concern for many working
families, and last but most important is comfort. So as we look at the differences and in some cases
similarities we will be able to make a clear decision on which one would best fit one's life style. As
we go through the similarities and differences we will see that the decision will be purely based on
personal preferences.
Cloth diapers have changes through the years since safety pins and special folding, they now have
Velcro and snap closures and are just about as quick to change as a disposable diaper. Cloth diapers
come in many different styles, flat, fitted, pockets and all–in–ones. Some of the biggest downfalls
with cloth diapers is the washing of the diaper and leaking because it does not have the absorption
that disposable diapers have. Cloth diapers are also hard to deal with when away from home because
you have to take the dirty ones with you. One of the most important aspects of cloth diapers are they
are safer for the environment because they do not have chemicals like dioxins in them like
disposable diapers do. Cloth diaper choices have gained popularity in recent years with so many
sizes and inserts." Cloth Diapers are environment–friendly dumping virtually nothing at landfills
and not contributing to pollution". ". (What to expect, 2017) Cloth diapers are made of cotton fiber,
microfiber, wool and hemp.
There are many advantages to using disposable diapers except for the environmental aspect because
"disposable diapers account for 3.4 million tons of landfill waste per year and do not decompose".
(What to expect, 2017) Disposable diapers are convenient when not at home, although disposable
diapers are very absorbent some babies might be allergic to the chemicals in the absorbent.
Disposable diapers are less likely to leak and therefore your babies will sleep longer through the
night, disposable diapers are more expensive, because when using cloth diapers you can use inserts

In September 2008, a two–month old girl in Demorest, Georgia suffocated when she rolled into the

#3 Blocks
You only need to purchase block mats if you plan on teach the vault or the beam at your school.
Block mats are really sold and firm, and are generally used to assist students with climbing onto
either the vault or the beam. They generally contain Velcro on the sides so they can adhere to your
other mats.

Once again, you alone need to purchase a beam pad if you plan on teaching the balance beam at
your school. This pad goes right under a balance beam and provides your students with a soft place
to land when they dismount from the balance beam.
If your school is starting a gymnastics program, make sure you purchase the right type of mats. The

Likewise, the Velcro Theory of Memory claims that rather than storing memory like a filing cabinet,
like Velcro, remembering things is like the two sides pressing together as the brain hosts a multitude
of loops and hooks. Consider Jane Elliott's explanation of the assassination of Martin Luther King,
Jr. to her third–grade classroom. To make the abstract idea of racism concrete, she separated brown–
eyed children from blue–eyed children, proclaiming that the brown–eyed children were superiors.
After the children experienced concrete racism, Elliott switched the roles of two groups and further
demonstrated the concreteness of racism. Altogether, in order for ideas to be sticky, they must be
concrete. As with Stone Yamashita's capitalization of concrete techniques to develop a partnership
with Disney, ideas must be concrete for novices and more complex for experts. Likewise, as with
Kaplan, ideas need to be realistic and "fleshed out." In short, like General Mills' and the Saddleback
