Building a foundation: Unplugged coding activitytamara hope
This activity introduces preschool students to the concepts of persistence and algorithms through an unplugged coding activity where they build a structure. Students will plan a sequence to build a foundation and draw or write down the steps. They will work in small groups with limited supplies to construct a foundation that can hold a textbook for over 10 seconds, experiencing challenges that require persistence. The activity teaches students to decompose large tasks into smaller steps and arrange the steps in logical order, helping them understand sequencing and the process of achieving an outcome through trial and error.
1) The lesson teaches students about simple machines by having them design and build machines into their treehouse designs using levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, and screws.
2) Students will explore the practical uses of simple machines and generate ideas about concepts like force and motion.
3) The teaching activity has students start with a treehouse blueprint, learn about simple machines from an app, then use loose parts to design and build simple machines into their treehouse designs to accomplish tasks like getting into the treehouse or transporting food.
Simple Machines is an app that allows kids to interact with 6 simple machines: levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheel and axles, and screws. For each machine, users can alter variables and see how the machine reacts. The app covers concepts of force, motion, inputs/outputs, and mechanical advantage through interactive activities involving each machine. It has potential to stimulate design ideas if parents engage children in questions about observations and what they are learning.

This lesson plan focuses on erosion and having students assess their prior knowledge to create models of erosion and solutions to prevent it. Students will take the lead in conducting their own investigation using provided materials like bottles, soil, and iPads. They will document their experiment findings and develop possible ways to minimize erosion based on their models. The lesson aims to have students think critically about how to effectively solve or reduce erosion through their research process. Their understanding will be assessed based on the investigation plans and models they create, as well as recordings of their models and discussions of their findings.
Jen was absent for the first two lessons of the unit on erosion due to a swimming carnival. In Lesson 3, Jen participated in a sorting activity to identify rock and plant minerals and helped construct a storyboard about rehabilitation. Jen answered all questions correctly on an erosion quiz. In Lesson 4, Jen conducted an investigation into how water erodes sand castles and identified a strategy to minimize erosion. In Lesson 5, Jen worked with a partner to investigate how different landscapes are affected by water erosion and was able to explain her findings and draw conclusions from the experiment.
This lesson plan outlines an erosion experiment to be conducted by Year 4 students. The students will create three soil landscapes with different materials (dirt, dirt and bark, dirt and plants) and test how each reduces erosion when water is poured on them. By conducting this experiment, students will understand the cause and effect relationship of water erosion and identify features that make their investigation a fair test. They will draw conclusions by discussing their results and comparing with classmates to build a common understanding. The lesson aims to teach students how water impacts the environment and how to investigate ways to reduce that impact through experimentation and thinking like scientists.
This lesson plan outlines an experiment to teach 4th grade students about how water erosion impacts the environment over time.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
