A unit of work for Year 7, embedded with class blogging, with a focus on the cross curriculum priority of sustainability, and the concept of contextualisation.
The design of a standards-based classroom is rooted in best practices; however, many Chinese teachers feel very attached to their textbooks and struggle with how to incorporate standards-based activities into their classrooms. Participants will discuss the most important elements of a standards-based classroom and will practice meaningful exercises that can be replicated in their own teaching. Presenters will describe their aims for student proficiency and demonstrate the critical components of a 21st-century classroom. Participants will explore innovative strategies for moving students to the next proficiency level as per ACTFL guidelines.
EDITED SYLLABUS IN BIOCHEMISTRY- AGRICULTUREJhonmarMontuno
Biochemistry is a branch of science that explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It encompasses the study of the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as the chemical reactions that underlie biological processes. Biochemists seek to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern life, from the synthesis of biomolecules to the regulation of cellular activities and the transmission of genetic information. In this comprehensive exploration, we will delve into the fundamental principles, key concepts, and recent advancements in biochemistry.
Historical Overview
The roots of biochemistry can be traced back to ancient times when early civilizations observed and documented the effects of various natural substances on living organisms. However, the formal study of biochemistry as a distinct scientific discipline began to emerge in the late 18th and early 19th centuries with significant contributions from chemists and biologists such as Friedrich Wöhler, Justus von Liebig, and Louis Pasteur.
One of the most notable milestones in the history of biochemistry was the discovery of the cell as the fundamental unit of life by Robert Hooke in the 17th century and subsequent elucidation of cellular structures and functions by scientists like Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow. These foundational discoveries laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of biological processes at the molecular level.
The advent of spectroscopic techniques in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including UV-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, revolutionized the field of biochemistry by enabling researchers to analyze the structures of biomolecules and study their interactions with unprecedented detail. Additionally, the development of X-ray crystallography by pioneers such as William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg allowed scientists to determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins and nucleic acids, further advancing our understanding of their functions.
Fundamental Principles of Biochemistry
At its core, biochemistry is governed by several fundamental principles that define the behavior of biomolecules and their interactions within biological systems. These principles include:
Structure-Function Relationship: The structure of a biomolecule dictates its function. For example, the precise arrangement of amino acids in a protein determines its catalytic activity, substrate specificity, and binding affinity for ligands.
Chemical Equilibrium: Many biochemical reactions reach a state of equilibrium, where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The equilibrium constant (K_eq) quantifies the relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium and is influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
