Facilities plan
This document provides a facilities plan and recommendations for the Jefferson County High School media center. It summarizes the key details about the school including its student population and goals. The plan includes suggestions for redesigning the media center floor plan to include more collaborative spaces, accessibility improvements, differentiated learning areas, and a teacher workspace. It emphasizes creating a welcoming environment and providing flexible spaces to meet student and teacher needs. Policy recommendations focus on continuously evaluating programs and adjusting plans based on achieving student success.
096 energy audit at school
Climate change and global warming are the most discussed debates, and energy crisis is one formidable topics. It is essential to introduce the practicality of this crisis through a simple exercise – the energy audit at school.
093 paramoecium culture
Paramoecium is an important protozoan about which we study. It is easy to culture Paramoecium from pond water samples.
090 transpiration
Transpiration is a process by which water vapours escape from the plant surfaces like leaves, stem, cuticle etc
088 swallowing
Every time we eat we swallow our food. The biophysical principles in swallowing are so interesting that we can try them in the classroom very easily.
082 voluntary muscles and reflex action
Students were asked to voluntarily lift and turn their right leg clockwise while seated. While continuing this movement, they were instructed to simultaneously lift their right hand and draw the number 6 in the air. This caused their right leg to automatically and involuntarily turn anti-clockwise, demonstrating how a new voluntary command can override a previous voluntary action through reflexive behavior controlled by the central nervous system.
070 demonstration of centrifugal force
This document describes an experiment to demonstrate centrifugal force using common household items. A plastic water bottle is cut open and holes are drilled into it. String is tied through the holes and to a pencil to create a spinning device. Wet cloth pieces placed inside the bottle are spun and centrifugal force throws water from the cloth, drying them without the use of a traditional clothes drier. Centrifugal force is the principle behind how clothes dryers work.
094 behaviour of paramoecium
This document outlines an experiment to study the behavior of Paramecium in response to different solutions. Materials needed include a Paramecium culture, clean slides, and dilute solutions of sugar, salt, and vinegar. Drops of the Paramecium culture and each test solution are placed on a slide and observed under a magnifying glass to see if the Paramecium move toward or away from the test solutions, with observations recorded.

099 finding latitude and longitude
To proceed with the experiments discussed here, you need to know the exact directions from your place of observation. The place of observation should be a open place with level ground. Finding the north using a compass cannot be considered as very accurate as the direction of the earth’s magnetic poles are not aligned with the Earth’s rotational axis
100 plant a tree
This last exercise is that we shall plant a tree in our school and or home and watch it grow. By planting trees we plant our oxygen.
085 salt stress by crops
Unwanted salts present in the soil or water will make the plants more stressed and reduce the yield or complete death of the crop Sodium (Na) is not to be added for crop growth.
098 carbon footprint
Calculating a carbon footprint involves estimating the greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual or organization. For children, it involves asking questions about their daily routines like how they get to school, food consumption, use of lights and electronics, and recycling habits to determine their footprint and discuss ways to reduce it, such as using reusable lunch boxes instead of plastic bags or turning off unused devices. Taking the carbon footprint quiz again after implementing new practices helps children see the concrete results and deepen their understanding of environmental impacts.
089 taste buds
The human tongue tastes different tastes and these locations are distributed on the tongue. Come let us taste to see which part of the tongue taste what.
043 rain guage
With climate change and change in rain patterns schools can record rainfall in and around their schools and compare data. The rain gauge can be a useful device for that
067 biodome
This document provides instructions for creating a biosphere in a plastic bottle by adding pebbles to the bottom, soil on top, making a trench to plant seeds in, covering the seeds with soil, watering until water collects in the pebbles below, sealing the bottle in a bag, and observing plant growth over time. The materials needed are a clear plastic bottle, pebbles, soil, seeds, water, a ruler, and large sealable storage bags or jars.
026 symmetry in calotropis
Biological Symmetry is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes. The body plans of most multi-cellular organisms exhibit some form of symmetry, either radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry. A small group of organisms do not exhibit symmetry (they are asymmetrical). Many flowers are radially symmetrical and flowering plants demonstrate symmetry of five, more frequently than any other form.
044 parameters for germination of seeds
Germination is a process by which seeds produce shoot and root from the endosperm. Favourable Temperature and Relative Humidity influence the germination process
Faces of the curriculum: Essays in Contemporary Education
This document summarizes the key findings from a project conducted by students at NMMU exploring the impact of poverty on education in South Africa. The students discovered that despite political changes, socioeconomic inequalities from the apartheid era persist, with the majority of poor South Africans being black. Government statistics hide severe disparities between wealthy, mostly white schools, and poor, mostly black schools. The students found living in poverty negatively impacts educational achievement through lack of resources, pressure to work, unstable home environments, and interruptions from service delivery protests. While programs exist like no-fee schools and school feeding schemes, in practice these do not always reach students as intended. The students concluded that apartheid-era inequalities remain entrenched in South
Literacy in Every Classroom
Shelton Intermediate School has initiated a Literacy Team to promote active literacy in every classroom for all students across the disciplines. This presentation is based on current research and provides a framework and strategies to promote literacy practices building wide across every discipline.
Wrestling With Monsters
1) Adolescents benefit from choice in reading materials, time to read, and support from adults. Standardized tests alone do not guide learning.
2) Middle and high school students need instruction on comprehending increasingly complex texts.
3) Effective teachers model strategies, allow practice, and differentiate instruction to meet individual student needs. Adolescents deserve respect and literacy support.
Motivating Gifted Students and Others: Updated 2/28/16
A National Hall of Fame teacher gives proven ideas on how to maximize student interest as well as the dangers of using some incentives.
Dealing low and high
This document summarizes an article about educating students with varying achievement levels in the same classroom. It discusses the history of tracking students by ability into separate classrooms and the movement to detrack schools in the 1970s-1980s. Research shows negative impacts of detracking on high-achieving students. The document also profiles a school that uses differentiated instruction and fluid reading groups to challenge students at their levels while keeping classrooms heterogeneous.
Editoriallesson4
This document provides an overview of editorial writing. It defines an editorial as an informed opinion on an issue meant to influence public opinion and promote critical thinking. The document outlines different types of editorials including informative, interpretative, crusade/reform, special occasion editorials, and those that praise/commend. It also discusses the functions of an editorial writer in explaining news, filling background, forecasting the future, and passing moral judgment. The document concludes by explaining the three parts of an editorial - the beginning, body, and conclusion - and provides guidance on writing each section.
Editorial and OP-ED Writing
The document provides an overview of editorial and op-ed writing. It defines editorials as informed opinions meant to influence public opinion and sometimes cause action. It outlines the objectives and functions of editorial writers as explaining news, filling background, forecasting the future, and passing moral judgment. It describes different types of editorials such as informative, interpretative, editorials of crusade/reform, and editorials on special occasions. It also discusses principles of editorial writing such as presenting facts honestly and drawing objective conclusions. The document concludes by giving tips for writing editorials such as choosing a topic, obtaining background information, and ensuring editorials have a beginning, body, and conclusion.
Presentation on education reform made to Reform Scotland
On 8th June 2012 John Abbott made the following presentation to Reform Scotland’s Commission on School Reform in Edinburgh.
Reading to Learn Presentation
1) The document introduces the Snuffy and the Bull curriculum program which uses the story and characters of Snuffy to teach 3rd through 8th grade students reading literacy and build lifelong learning skills.
2) The curriculum aims to increase opportunities for quality education, graduation rates, and workforce skills while reducing instances of special education placement or grade retention.
3) Students will build vocabulary, think critically about American culture, and gain solid reading skills through exposure to history and folklore woven into the stories.
Conference.aea.book suggestions
This document provides summaries of several books related to best practices for instructional leaders and teachers. It describes books that identify effective teaching methods, support English language learners, address the impact of poverty on education, strengthen teacher-student relationships, incorporate background knowledge, and improve school culture and climate. It also mentions tools for National Board Certification and developing strategies to address bullying and improve student outcomes through leadership.
CHD 204 Thematic Unit Project
The document outlines curriculum plans for a thematic unit called "A Journey Under the Sea" for preschoolers, including activities, standards, and lessons focused on literacy, math, creative arts, science, and social-emotional development that incorporate ocean and underwater themes and are designed to be play-based and hands-on. Key aspects of the philosophy discussed include the importance of play in early learning, social and environmental influences on development, and using shared experiences to promote skills and knowledge.
Content-based teaching/learning
This document discusses content-based language teaching/learning. It explains that content-based learning involves using topics of interest to students as the medium for teaching both subject matter content and the target language. Students are more intrinsically motivated to learn when studying meaningful content in the target language. Examples of content-based curricula include immersion programs, sheltered English programs, and writing across the curriculum. The document provides an example activity on saving water where students research ways to save water and design posters in groups to encourage water conservation.

CONSTRUCTING 21st-CENTURY TEACHER EDUCATION
Linda Darling-Hammond
Stanford University
Much of what teachers need to know to be successful is invisible to lay observers, leading to the view
that teaching requires little formal study and to frequent disdain for teacher education programs. The
weakness of traditional program models that are collections of largely unrelated courses reinforce this
low regard. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more ef-
fective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coher-
ence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive
and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies linking theory
and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively
and develop and model good teaching. Also, schools of education should resist pressures to water
down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation
of schools of education, and the strength of the profession.
Keywords: field-based experiences; foundations of education; student teaching; supervision; theo-
ries of teacher education
The previous articles have articulated a spectac-
ular array of things that teachers should know
and be able to do in their work. These include
understanding many things about how people
learn and how to teach effectively, including as-
pects of pedagogical content knowledge that in-
corporate language, culture, and community
contexts for learning. Teachers also need to un-
derstand the person, the spirit, of every child
and find a way to nurture that spirit. And they
need the skills to construct and manage class-
room activities efficiently, communicate well,
use technology, and reflect on their practice to
learn from and improve it continually.
The importance of powerful teaching is
increasingly important in contemporary soci-
ety. Standards for learning are now higher than
they have ever been before, as citizens and
workers need greater knowledge and skill to
survive and succeed. Education is increasingly
important to the success of both individuals and
nations, and growing evidence demonstrates
that—among all educational resources—teach-
ers’ abilities are especially crucial contributors
t o s t u d e n t s ’ le a r n i n g . F u r t h e r m o re , t h e
demands on teachers are increasing. Teachers
need not only to be able to keep order and pro-
vide useful information to students but also to
be increasingly effective in enabling a diverse
group of students to learn ever more complex
material. In previous decades, they were
expected to prepare only a small minority for
ambitious intellectual work, whereas they are
now expected to prep.

Choice book emergent curriculum
This document provides an overview and endorsement of the book "Emergent Curriculum in the Primary Classroom". It summarizes the key concepts discussed in the book, including how emergent curriculum allows students to pursue their own inquiries and take ownership of their learning. It also discusses how the book shows teachers how to implement student-led, organic learning experiences and create curriculum from the interactions between students and teachers. The document recommends the book for teachers looking to inspire interactive, innovative lessons where students explore topics and find their own understandings.
Newspapers and esl
The document discusses using newspapers in ESL literacy classrooms. It notes that newspapers provide authentic materials but may be difficult for ESL students due to unfamiliar vocabulary and culture. It recommends adapting newspapers to students' levels, from using pictures and headlines for beginners to writing letters to the editor for advanced students. A variety of activities are described, such as matching photos to captions, discussing prices in ads, or following a news story over time. The document promotes newspapers as a low-cost way to introduce students to community, language, and culture.
journal1#Connecting creativity to understanding
The document describes an experiential lesson in a 7th grade history class where students were asked to represent objects they could only partially see without talking or moving for 45 minutes. This helped students understand that historical texts provide partial perspectives rather than objective truths. The author argues that creativity and understanding are both important goals for education but have key differences. Creativity pushes boundaries while understanding applies knowledge flexibly. The author proposes cultivating "studio habits of mind" like playful exploration and learning from mistakes to educate for creativity across disciplines.

076 response of nerve impulse
This experiment demonstrates how different nerve endings respond to different stimuli. By holding an ice cube bowl until the hands are chilled, then trying to touch a bowl of rice grains, the cold-numbed hands will not feel the touch sensation. This shows that nerve impulses from sensations of pain and touch travel to the brain at different speeds, with pain taking longer.
073 the iris diaphragm
Iris acts like the diaphragm of a camera, dilating and constricting the pupil to allow light of differing intensities into the eye. The experiment describes how the dilation and constriction responses of one pupil are geared to the other.
069 breathing mechanism
This document describes a simple experiment to demonstrate the principles of inhalation and exhalation using common household items. The experiment involves cutting off the bottom of a plastic bottle and attaching a rubber sheath. Two small balloons are inserted into the bottle through a drinking straw to represent lungs. Pulling the rubber sheath outward fills the balloons with air to demonstrate inhalation, while pushing it inward releases air from the balloons to demonstrate exhalation.
066 fermentation (lactic acid)
This document describes an experiment to demonstrate lactic acid fermentation in milk. Students will observe two cups of milk, one warm and one hot, each with added curd starter culture. Over 48 hours, they will record observations of color, smell, and appearance to see how bacteria convert milk sugar to lactic acid, causing curds to form. The experiment aims to show how temperature affects the rate of fermentation and curd formation, and to illustrate the beneficial role of microbes in food production.
065 fermentation (alcoholic)
This document provides instructions for demonstrating how yeast converts sugars into carbon dioxide and ethanol through a simple experiment. The experiment involves adding yeast, sugar, and warm water to a bottle or test tube, sealing it with a balloon, and observing the balloon inflate over 30 minutes as the yeast produces carbon dioxide from fermenting the sugar. Testing the gas in the balloon with lime water confirms it is carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during alcoholic fermentation.
064 bread mould
Fungi such as Rhizopus, Aspergillus, and Penicillium cause bread and fruits to decay by infecting them with spores. To observe these mould spores under a microscope, scrapes of fungus-infected bread or a rotten orange are placed in water on a glass slide, smeared, and viewed under the microscope.
063 tooth decay
This is an exercise with reference to health and hygiene. To make children realise tooth decay starts with improper dental care.
062 clean hands
This document describes an exercise to teach children the importance of washing their hands with soap and water. The exercise involves having children place their hands on paper after washing with just water or soap and water, so they can see the difference - hands washed with just water will leave dirty marks while soap and water will leave clean hands and clean paper. The goal is to help children understand good hygiene practices through a hands-on demonstration.

To maintain health and hygiene boiling water before drinking is recommended. Create animation on OHP sheets to teach to students
058 culture of fruit fly for genetic studies
Fruit flies swarm in every orchard during the hot months. They thrive on the fruits that fall premature from the tree. August through October, you can also find them buzzing around any bowl of fruit on your kitchen table. They especially love bananas
057 isolation of genetic material
Scientists isolated genetic material from various fruits and vegetables using a simple method. They mashed papaya pieces with salt in a plastic tumbler, added soap solution to extract proteins, and poured alcohol on the sides to separate DNA from other cell components, visually observing the spooled genetic material between the layers.
056 chromatography
Chromatography is a method of separation of substances based on their different mobility in a given stationary support.
050 circadian rhythms biological clocks
The daily rhythms to many of our physiological functions and activities such as sleep, body temperature, alertness, neurotransmitter levels that run on 24 hour cycle are known as "Circadian Rhythms".
054 honey adulterated
Honey samples are sometimes adulterated with sugar or molasses. To test for adulteration, dip a cotton swab in a honey sample and light it with a match stick. Pure honey will burn smoothly, while adulterated honey will burn with a crackling sound, indicating added sugars.
048 evaporation of water
Evaporation is the process by which water escapes from soil into the atmosphere through sunlight. An experiment demonstrates evaporation by placing a jar of water in sunlight and observing the decreasing water level throughout the day. Maintaining good soil structure through compost and mulch application protects soil from direct sunlight exposure and helps conserve water by reducing evaporation.
046 ecological succession
Succession is the natural, orderly change in plant and animal communities that occurs at the same place over a period of time. In all communities, the composition of species changes over a period of time. Ecological succession leads to species diversity as it progresses. Secondary succession generally occurs faster than primary succession and is more likely to actually occur than latter
045 soil erosion
This document describes an experiment to demonstrate how trees prevent soil erosion. The experiment involves filling two plates with soil, with one plate also containing twigs to represent trees. Water is slowly poured over both plates at an angle, and the amount of soil washed away from each plate is observed and measured. The plate with twigs retains more soil, showing how trees help prevent erosion by anchoring soil and reducing water runoff.

097 shrinking resources
- 1. 097 SHRINKING RESOURCES With increasing population and shrinking resources the demand for resources is to grow into enormous proportions. MATERIALS REQUIRED Old newspapers Students SIMPLE TASKS GREAT CONCEPTS
- 2. newspaper newspaper Open a newspaper centre-page, make the students realise that as a resource. Spread the resource (the newspaper page) on the floor and ask four students to stand on it comfortably. They are indeed able to do it.
- 3. newsI Now fold the page into two and ask all the four students to stand on it. They are able to do it but come closer. With further folding the space or resource gets smaller and smaller and there is a scramble amongst the students to have a foot on the resource.
- 4. As might is right takes over, the students start grabbing whatever space is available as the resource gets shrunk. Finally only one student manages to have a foot on the resource. Adults please see to it that students do not hurt each other. This is an excellent example to show the impact of shrinking natural resources.
