This document outlines the activities and goals for a lesson on wastewater treatment systems. Students will generate a website list and complete a web quest to learn about wastewater treatment. They will view videos about wastewater plant design to understand the various parts of a wastewater system using appropriate vocabulary. The lesson addresses New York state science standards on analysis, inquiry, and design. Students will use an interactive model and presentations to learn about wastewater collection, treatment components, and the treatment process. They will complete a handout to assess their understanding of preliminary treatment, secondary treatment, final treatment, solids processing, BOD5, and TSS.
In biochemistry, lipids are molecular organic compounds, composed largely of carbon and hydrogen, that are essential for cell growth. Lipids are non-soluble in water and combine with carbohydrates and proteins to form the majority of all plant and animal cells. They are more commonly synonymous with the word "fats" when speaking in terms of personal health. Although all fats are lipids, not all lipids are fats.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
Â
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Activity Set-Up:
http://www.sd1.org/projectsandprograms/WastewaterEducation.aspx
generated website list –a web quest –will be done day 2
Aim: How do we describe a waste water system?
Adapted from:
http://www.sd1.org/projectsandprograms/WastewaterEducation.aspx
I.O./SWABT 1. Express knowledge of vocabulary
2. View videos of water water plant design
3. Make or begin to grasp ideas in desing
4. explain various parts of waste water system using appropriate vocab
PROCESS STANDARDS:
http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/mst/sciencestand/physset13.html
New York State Learning Standards:
The following are addressed in this lesson.
Standard 1: Analysis, Inquiry and Design
Mathematical Analysis
Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as
appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
Standard 4: Science
Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to
physical setting and physics.
Standard 6: Interconnectedness: Common Themes
Students will understand the relationships and common themes that connect mathematics, and
science, and apply the themes to these and other areas of learning.
2. Materials:
WHAT IS WASTEWATER?
Wastewater is liquid waste. It is animal, vegetable, mineral or chemical matter in solution or in suspension
that residents and businesses flush down their toilets and pour down their sinks and drains.
Wastewater drains into a network of pipes maintained by sewer serviced municipalities and the Regional
District of Nanaimo. Sewer systems are built to follow the natural slope of land, generally flowing towards the
sea front. This design allows gravity to do most of the work transporting the wastewater to one of four
wastewater treatment plants. For residential areas that are lower than adjacent lands or treatment plants,
the wastewater must pass through a pumping station to pump the liquid into the plants. Treatment of our
wastewater is an essential process that prevents contamination and destruction of our waterways, and our
natural water resources.
HOW IS WASTEWATER TREATED IN THE RDN?
Goto power point then handouts from
http://www.sd1.org/projectsandprograms/WastewaterEducation.aspx
Procedure:
Wastewater Presentations
Give your students the opportunity to learn about the components of a wastewater collection and
treatment system by using an interactive Enviroscape model. The wastewater Enviroscape
model is a hands-on learning tool that demonstrates what happens to water after we use it (how
sewage/wastewater is treated). Teachers may choose from one of two options:
1) You may borrow the model and teach the lesson. All the supplies you need to teach the
lesson will be included with the model, along with a User’s Guide. The User’s Guide
provides step-by-step instructions for set-up, teaching the lesson and clean-up. You must
return the model, guide and supplies to SD1 within one week of check out.
2) You may schedule a representative from SD1 to teach the lesson using the Enviroscape
model.
3. a 10-minute video on the wastewater treatment facilitate Q & A and provide other wastewater
education resources by request.

treating drinking water and the use of biosolids. You may teach this portion of the lesson by
following the instructions in the User Guide. However, SD1 only offers to teach the wastewater
portion of the lesson.
