Topic: DNA
Dear Students,
As Dr. Watson's assistant, I wanted to share with you what I have learned about DNA from working with him in the lab. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the genetic material found in the nucleus of cells that contains the instructions for building and maintaining organisms. It is made up of four chemical bases - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine - that bond together in a double helix shape. DNA replicates itself during cell division and is passed down from parents to offspring. I hope this brief overview helps you understand the amazing molecule that makes us who we are. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely
This is an upcycling craft project from the primary school of Platy Imathia Greece. The students made their own kites to celebrate "Clean Monday" instead of buying a new one.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

11. Dear Miss Brin,
Yesterday you got really really mad at me in class. I didn’t argue
with you, because that just makes you madder and being yelled at makes
my stomach feel funny and I can’t think. But I want to say what happened.
Maybe you will understand why it looks like I don’t pay attention in class.
You told us to open our books to chapter 4 and read silently. Then
you asked everyone to put your hand up if we had finished the third page
and Sean didn’t. You waited for him to finish the page. Then you told us to
take turns reading out loud. When you got to me, I asked you what
paragraph to start on, and you started yelling at me. You asked me a lot of
questions but you didn’t let me answer any of them. You answered them
yourself but the things you said weren’t true answers!
This is what happened. I started reading when you said. I finished
the chapter and stopped because you get mad if I read any more. I didn’t
get out another book because that makes you mad too. I didn’t doodle or
do math or talk to Sarah or get up or walk around because those things
make you mad. So I worked on my Greek in my head until you called on
me.
12. I tried to keep track of where the other kids were when they were
reading. And I had the right page. I just didn’t hear where Kim
stopped. Her voice is sooo quiet and the verb I was saying was too
loud in my head! So it’s not true that I was day dreaming! And I’m
not stuck up or arrogant or insolent or any of the things you said I
was! I TRY to follow along but I CAN’T read that slow!!
You said you got mad because I was wasting everybodies time.
But I just asked “which paragraph Miss Brin?” Look at your watch and
say it too. It takes 2 seconds. You could have said “the third
paragraph.” That takes 21 seconds. I timed it too. Then Sarah and
Amy R and Amy B would have 6 minutes to read aloud. Instead you
yelled at ME for 6 minutes and they did not get to read any thing!
Peter takes almost a whole minute to read “Ben heard the bear
cough behind him.” I timed him. It’s a game I made up to pay
attention instead of doing Greek or making up poems in my head. If I
ask you what paragraph and you tell me it still takes me less than half
a minute for me to read a whole paragraph. So I guess I don’t
understand why you are mad or why you used 6 minutes to tell the
class what a bad stupid mean person i am because I wasted their time
for 4 seconds. I think YOU wasted their time!!! And I think YOU were
mean to call me those names in front of everybody!!!!
13. Miss Brinn I want to do what you tell
me! I don’t understand why I can’t keep
reading at the end of a chapter. Or get out
my other books. or study my Greek. Or draw
or doodle or write in my journal. But you
don’t want me to do that so I don’t. But I
can’t sit and stare at the wall. If i try to do that
I just start thinking about something else! I
don’t know HOW to not think! I don’t know
HOW to read slow! Please tell me what to do
so it won’t make you mad at me all the time.
And PLEASE don’t yell at me in class.
love,
your sad student,
Anne
14. I know it’s been a long time since you heard from me. I wanted to let
you know what I am doing now and that I think of you often, even
though I have not been a particularly faithful correspondent.
When you last saw me, you must have had some doubt about what I
might do with my life. The interesting thing, though, is that if you did
have doubts, you never let me know about them. You treated me as
though I had all the possibilities in the world in my hands. The fact that
I could not pass a vocabulary test seemed incidental to you. What
mattered was what I could do.
I didn’t get that at the time. I was too exhausted from years of lugging
around my disabilities.
You need to know that I will be receiving a Masters Degree in just a
few days. My mom asked who I wanted to know about that from back
home. You need to know. Your belief in me when I had no belief in
myself opened the door that led here. . .

15. “Differentiated instruction is a teaching
philosophy based on the premise that
teachers should adapt instruction to student
differences. Rather than marching students
through the curriculum lockstep, teachers
should modify their instruction to meet
students’ varying readiness levels, learning
preferences, and interests. Therefore, the
teacher proactively plans a variety of ways
to ‘get at’ and express learning.”
Carol Ann Tomlinson

WHAT IS DI?
19. “Differentiation is not so
much the ‘stuff’ as the
‘how.’ If the ‘stuff’ is ill
conceived, the ‘how’ is
doomed.”
Carol Ann Tomlinson

21. All people are different.
One size does not fit all.
Differentiation provides all students with
access to all curriculum.
Foundations of Differentiated Instruction:
WHY DIFFERENTIATE?
22. Foundations of Differentiated Instruction:
RESPECTFUL TASKS
Respectful tasks recognize student
learning differences. The teacher
continually tries to understand what
individual students need to learn most
effectively. A respectful task honors
both the commonalities and
differences of students but not by
treating them all alike.
23. Foundations of Differentiated Instruction:
RESPECTFUL TASKS
A respectful task offers all students the
opportunity to explore essential
understandings and skills at degrees
of difficulty that escalate consistently
as they develop their understanding
and skill.
24.
25. Foundations of Differentiated Instruction:
KNOW YOUR TARGET
Teachers answer the critical question— What do
we want all students to know and be able to do?
They clearly identify & communicate KUDs
What students will.. Know
Understand &
Do………. as a result of the unit/lesson
Knowing your target is essential to quality formative
and summative assessment.
26. KNOW (facts, vocabulary, dates, rules, people, etc.)
ecosystem
elements of culture (housing/shelter, customs, values, geography)
UNDERSTAND (complete sentence, statement of truth or
insight – want students to understand that . . . )
All parts of an ecosystem affect all others parts.
Culture shapes people and people shape culture.
DO (Basic skills, thinking skills, social skills, skills of the
discipline, planning skills --- verbs)
Write a unified paragraph
Compare and contrast
Draw conclusions
