Story Starts to Science Presentation Handout NSTA Conference 2015 by Jennife...Jennifer Williams
Too often science takes a back seat to language arts and/or reading in the elementary curriculum. To alleviate this problem and to make teaching more enjoyable for both the teacher and the children, science and reading can be integrated through the use of children’s literature books and associated science activities. Children will begin to see that science is not an isolated subject but can be found all around us. Promote your students’ enthusiasm and understanding of scientific concepts by integrating children’s literature into hands-on, inquiry based experiments and activities. This workshop will demonstrate the seamless blend of “story time” and science. Participants will leave with a bibliography of suggested titles and will be able to participate in many activities.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
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.

2. 1. Aim
explain how rocket propulsion works in terms of gases being
pushed out one end so that a force is exerted on the rocket in
the opposite direction
carry out a fair test to find the amount of vinegar that makes
the rocket go the highest
explain that pressure needs to build up inside the film canister
for a successful launch
explain how the speed of the rocket changes as it goes up and
comes back down and how these changes are related to the
forces acting on it.
4. Momentum &
GravityOnce the lid has come off the rocket and the
rocket is moving upwards, its momentum will
keep it moving upwards.
The force of gravity acts on the rocket and
pulls it back towards the Earth. This force
remains the same throughout the flight and
makes the rocket slow down, momentarily
stop and then keep speeding up as it falls back
down.
5. Each group
will need
will need
A white film canister for each pair of
students
• ∆αµπ baking soda
• White vinegar
• Coloured card- scissors, ruler, tape
• Vivid
• Spoon
•Παπερ τοωελσ
6. The Challenge
To make a film canister into a rocket and
to find out how to make it fly as high as
possible – a well made rocket will fly
about twice as high as the classroom.
7. continued
There will be a competition to see which
rocket flies the highest, which has the
nicest flight and which is the best
looking.
8. Variables
Things to keep the same – nose cone,
fins and amount of baking soda placed in
the lid.
The one variable to change – amount of
vinegar.
The one thing to measure as a result –
height reached by the film canister.
Work in groups of two to make your
rockets.
9. Making your rocket-
the nose
To build the nose cone, draw a circle about twice
the diameter of the film canister onto a piece of
coloured card.
Cut to the exact centre and then curve the card
around on itself to make a cone.
Tape this to the closed end of the canister.
10. Making your rocket-
the fins.
To make fins, cut 3 or 4 equal sized triangles
from the coloured card.
Tape them evenly spaced to the open end of the
film canister. (For four fins, use the 3, 6, 9 and
12 o’clock positions. For three fins, use 4, 8 and
12 o’clock positions.)
Make sure tape and fins still allow the lid to seal
properly.
11. Making your rocket
Draw marks at 1 cm intervals on the
outside of the canister measuring from
the closed end.
These are the guides for filling with
vinegar for each trial.
12. Launching your rocket-
step 1.
Fill the indent in the lid with baking soda
– level it off with a spoon or finger so
there is the same amount used for each
launch. Make sure the edges of the lid
and the canister are wiped clean so
there are no leaks at launch time.
13. Launching your rocket-
step 2.
Start with 1 cm of vinegar in the canister. Once
at the launch site, hold the canister firmly in one
hand and use the palm of your other hand to
snap the lid closed, being careful to keep holding
the rocket vertically upside down so that the
vinegar and baking soda don’t mix.
14. Launching your rocket-
step 3.
Turn the rocket over, give it a brief shake, place
it on the ground and step well back.
If the rocket does not launch after about 20
seconds, carefully approach from a low side-on
stance and give it another quick shake. If you
can see bubbles and liquid escaping from the
canister, it is possible that the lid was not
cleaned well enough to seal or that it is broken.
15. Launching your rocket-
step 4.
Rinse out the rocket and repeat for 2 and 3 cm
of vinegar. Clean the edges of the lid well
between launches.
16. Testing
one (cm) white vinegar record results
two (cm) white vinegar record results
three (cm) white vinegar record results
17. 3. Results
Heights could be recorded in your booklet as a
comparison with other objects- such as twice the
height of the classroom or estimated in metres.
18. Group Challenge
Select the amount of white vinegar that
forces the rocket the highest into the air.
Select one student from your group to
compete in this competition.
20. 4. Conclusion- What
was happening?
The chemical reaction between baking
soda and vinegar produces carbon
dioxide gas.
When the lid of the film canister is
sealed, pressure builds up inside the
canister until the lid pops off and the
rocket is launched upwards.
21. 4. Newton’s third law
This law states that, for every action, there
is an equal but opposite reaction.
The action is that gases are pushed out
the bottom of the film canister rocket.
The reaction is that the rocket is pushed
upwards.
22. Did you know?
If a larger pressure is able to build up
inside the canister before the lid pops
off, the gases will be pushed out faster
so the rocket will be pushed upwards
faster and will reach a greater height.
What would you do next time?
