Gods of ancients
The document discusses gods from ancient myths. It explains that early humans developed ideas of gods to explain the world's creation and address life's big questions. Their understanding of gods reflected their cultures and experiences. For example, Northern European gods represented weather phenomena while Greek gods personified natural forces and human qualities. The 12 principal Greek gods, called the Olympians, emerged as most important after defeating the Titans. Zeus led them and became king of the gods. Thor was a Norse god of thunder known for his mighty hammer.

The Inescapable Story
Myths are defining narratives that provide meaning and coherence to cultures. While myths are often thought of as fantastical stories, they actually represent how all cultures explain their origins and purpose through shared stories. Throughout history, competing myths have vied for acceptance within cultures. Modern societies also rely on myths, whether through religious texts, philosophy, science, or other defining narratives. Examining one's own myths can reveal the values and worldview they impart. Ultimately, myths represent a universal human tendency to make sense of the world and one's place in it through the stories people embrace.

How Do We Inspire Curiosity?
The document discusses how curiosity can be inspired. It notes that in the past, pursuing curiosity was difficult as resources were hard to access, but now curious people have an advantage in the information age. Certain environments, like middle-income families, naturally foster more curiosity in children. The document proposes a "curiosity spiral" where learning leads to more questions and perceptions, fueling further curiosity. It suggests designing environments that lower the costs and barriers to exploring information, so that pursuing curiosity is simple and ubiquitous. The goal is for the world to work like Wikipedia, where there is "zero cost" to exploring deeper information at every turn.

Humanities
The humanities are about human beings, their culture and intellectual achievements. They include subjects like philosophy, history, literature, religion, and art that explore what it means to be human. Art specifically probes into life's purpose and meaning by making people think abstractly in ways that help reflect on the meaning of life. The humanities seek to understand humanity and its diverse expressions through disciplined study of areas like art, religion, music, dance, drama, and literature.

Eng. Lit_ 7_THE STORY OF KEESH.pptx
Here are some tips for writing dialogue:
- Introduce who is speaking. Use action beats before and after dialogue to provide context. For example: "John said, 'How was your day?' Mary replied..."
- Vary sentence structure and length. Don't have every line be a simple subject-verb statement. Mix it up.
- Make sure each line of dialogue is clear who is speaking. Overly long passages without attribution can confuse the reader.
- Use punctuation correctly. Quotation marks around the dialogue. Comma before the closing quotation for the speaking tag. Period for the end of a complete sentence speaking tag.
- Show don't tell emotions. Let the dialogue and actions portray
Native American Lit
Native American literature originated from the oral traditions of the hundreds of Native cultures that already inhabited North America when European explorers arrived. Their stories, including creation myths and legends, were passed down verbally from generation to generation to both record history and explain natural phenomena from their perspective. In contrast, European settlers viewed themselves as having dominion over the land and sought riches and glory through exploration. Conflict arose between their differing worldviews regarding nature and ownership of the land.

States of Matter
This document provides an overview of atomic structure and the states of matter. It begins by asking questions about what the atomic number and atomic mass tell us. It then discusses how to determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an atom using the periodic table. Diagrams of helium and boron atoms illustrate their particle arrangement in different energy levels. Students are tasked with drawing particle diagrams for two additional elements. The document then covers the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and how the density and motion of particles changes between each state. It defines the law of conservation of matter and provides an example.
Periodic Table
The document provides instruction on how the periodic table is organized and how to classify elements. It explains that the periodic table is like a calendar, with groups represented by vertical columns and periods represented by horizontal rows. Elements are classified based on their location, with metals mostly found on the left side, nonmetals on the right, and metalloids between them. Specific groups like the halogens in group 17 and noble gases in group 18 are also identified. Students are then asked to locate elements based on their group and period number and to classify different elements.
Inca day 7
The document provides an overview of a lesson on the Inca Empire, including an essential question about similarities and differences between Inca society and modern life. Students will watch a video on the Inca Empire and note interesting facts in their journal. They will then create a foldable to summarize key aspects of Inca government, organization, and farming in their own words with pictures and explanations of importance.
Day 6 Aztecs
The Aztecs established a system of public schools in their capital city of Tenochtitlan where attendance was mandatory for all children, including girls and slaves. There were separate schools for girls, sons of nobles, and sons of commoners and slaves. The schools trained students in specialized professions like farming, trade, engineering and more. As the population grew, Aztec engineers created floating gardens on Lake Texcoco to produce more food.
Day 4 Timeline lesson easley
This document provides instructions for making and reading timelines to help organize and study history. It begins with an essential question about how timelines can help learn history and sets a goal of developing timeline skills for middle school, high school, and beyond. Students then watch a Pixar clip and take notes on plot events to create a class timeline. The document reviews five rules for making timelines, including drawing arrows and using AD/BC dating. It includes activities where students practice timelining dates and summarize timeline rules. In the end, it reviews ancient Greece and Rome through a map activity.
Elements and Atoms
The periodic table can be used to determine the structure of an atom. The atomic number indicates the number of protons in the nucleus, while the atomic mass provides the total number of protons and neutrons. By subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, we can calculate the number of neutrons. The periodic table also shows the arrangement of elements by increasing atomic number and energy levels which indicate where electrons are located around the nucleus.
Day 10 evolution
The document provides information about geologic evolution and biologic evolution.
1. It asks how geologic evolution, which is the changes to the Earth over time, relates to biologic evolution, which is the changes to species over time.
2. It lists key vocabulary like adaptation, natural selection, and common ancestor that are important to understanding both geologic and biologic evolution.
3. Geologic evolution involves how the Earth changes over time, while biologic evolution is how species change over time through inherited traits, adaptations, and natural selection of those adaptations best suited for the environment.
Day 9 geo time scale
The geologic time scale is divided by major changes or events such as mass extinctions and the development of new species.
Day 8 weathering unconformity
The document discusses weathering and provides examples of mechanical and chemical weathering. It notes that mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering chemically alters rocks often changing their color. The document aims to explain the differences between these two types of weathering.
Day 7 superposition fossils
The document provides instructions and questions for a classroom bell ringer activity about fossils, including what fossils are, how they form, and how tree rings can indicate past weather; it also asks students to make assumptions about an area based on finding seashell casts, petrified wood, and to provide class rules for group work and listening.
Day 4 plate boundaries
The document provides information about tectonic plate boundaries including definitions of convergent, divergent, transform, and subduction boundaries. It describes how each boundary type results from the movement of tectonic plates and the effects this has in changing the Earth's surface through processes like mountain building, volcanism, and earthquakes. Students are tasked with learning about the different boundary types, their identifying features, and how they impact the planet.
Day 3 Earth Layers
The document discusses how continental drift occurs through plate tectonics. It explains that convection currents in the asthenosphere, the liquid layer between the lithosphere and outer core, cause the movement of tectonic plates. Hot magma in the mantle rises due to convection currents, cools and sinks, moving the rigid tectonic plates comprising the lithosphere. This continuous cycling of magma drives the drifting of continents via plate tectonics.
Day 2 Continental Drift
Scientists found tropical plant fossils like coconut fossils in Antarctica, where the climate is now very cold. This provided evidence that the continents have moved over time, as the same types of fossils are only found in tropical areas currently. Therefore, the continents could not have always been in their current positions.
Day 3 Earth Layers
The document discusses how continental drift occurs through plate tectonics. It explains that convection currents in the asthenosphere, the liquid layer between the lithosphere and inner core, cause the movement of tectonic plates. Hot magma in the mantle rises due to convection currents, cools and sinks, moving the rigid tectonic plates comprising the lithosphere over geologic time. This cyclical movement of magma drives the drifting of continents via plate tectonics.
Earthquakes
Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries and are caused by the buildup and sudden release of stress in rock. Rock can deform plastically or elastically under stress, and will break if stretched too far, releasing seismic energy. The type and strength of earthquake depends on the type of plate boundary, with transform boundaries producing moderate quakes, convergent boundaries producing strong deep quakes, and divergent boundaries producing weak shallow quakes.
Earth Layers Density
The document is a lesson plan on density and the layers of the Earth. It includes the following key points:
1. It introduces density and defines it as mass per volume. More dense materials sink, while less dense materials float.
2. It discusses how the Earth separates into layers based on density - the inner core is the most dense, followed by the outer core, mantle, and crust, which is the least dense.
3. It includes an experiment where students observe the separation of liquids of different densities in a graduated cylinder, and draw an analogy between this and the layers of the Earth.
Native americans and North Carolina
This document provides instructions for a lesson on the Native Americans who settled North America and North Carolina. Students are asked to read about the five largest Native American groups in North Carolina and how many Native Americans lived in the present-day state. They then work with peers to answer questions about why Europeans may have been shocked by Native Americans' appearance and reasons why Native Americans found European arrival threatening. Finally, students are to write a four sentence summary answering who settled the Americas and North Carolina, and what culture Native Americans developed to survive.
Settlers in The New World
Here are the answers to the Chapter 4 review questions in your notebook:
16. Tobacco became the cash crop that saved Jamestown.
17. John Smith enforced strict rules and discipline to get the colonists to work.
18. Pocahontas helped the colonists by bringing them food during the Starving Time.
19. John Rolfe experimented with different tobacco varieties and cultivation methods.
20. The headright system gave colonists land for each immigrant they brought over.
21. Indentured servitude provided labor for the tobacco plantations.
25. John Smith, John Rolfe, and Lord De La Warr helped establish order and find economic success at Jamestown.

How to Create a More Engaging and Human Online Learning Experience Wahiba Chair Training & Consulting
Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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
9
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.
