I am hoping this presentation about anatomy and physiology of the Digestive System as will as its common diseases will aid/help you in your study or lecture.
A detailed presentation for the digestive system to be thought on grade 8 level (Department of Education Philippines Standards) including parts, functions, nutrients and diseases.
The document provides a history of discoveries related to the atom from ancient Greek philosophers to modern quantum mechanics. It describes key contributors such as Democritus proposing atoms, Dalton establishing atomic theory, Rutherford discovering the nucleus, Bohr introducing quantum mechanics, and Heisenberg establishing the uncertainty principle. The development of atomic models progressed from simple spheres to planetary structures to quantum mechanical probability distributions.
This document summarizes the key differences between comets, asteroids, and meteors. Comets originate from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, are composed of ice and frozen gases, and have highly elliptical orbits. Asteroids originate from the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, are composed of silicates and metals, and have more rounded orbits. Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and become meteors as they burn up, with fragments that survive impact becoming meteorites. Studying the composition of comets, asteroids, and meteorites provides clues about the early solar system and impacts that affected Earth.
Comets and asteroids are remnants from the formation of the solar system. Comets originate from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud and are icy bodies, while asteroids originate from the Main Asteroid Belt and are rocky fragments. Both have irregular shapes and sizes ranging from 1-100 km. Comets have highly elliptical orbits with periods of 75 years to millions of years, while asteroids have more rounded orbits with periods of 1-100 years. When a meteoroid from space enters the atmosphere, it becomes a meteor or "shooting star"; any fragments that reach the ground are called meteorites.
The document discusses cell division and the cell cycle. It defines cell division as the process where a cell divides into two daughter cells. The key stages of the cell cycle are interphase, where the cell grows and DNA replicates, and mitosis, where the cell divides. Mitosis is further broken down into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Prophase involves chromosome condensation and nuclear envelope breakdown. Metaphase aligns chromosomes at the center. Anaphase separates sister chromatids. Telophase reforms the nuclei and divides the cytoplasm.
The document provides instructions and criteria for students to participate in a lesson on biodiversity, where they will define biodiversity, discuss how it is important to ecosystems, and express their understanding through a group activity involving a song, role play, drawing, or poem. The lesson aims to teach students about biodiversity and its importance to daily life, as well as how to protect and conserve biodiversity as individuals. Scoring criteria is provided to evaluate student group presentations.
Comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and meteorites are different types of small solar system bodies. Comets are icy bodies that develop tails as they heat up when passing near the sun. Asteroids orbit the sun and most reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Meteoroids are smaller objects that enter the earth's atmosphere and are called meteors when burning up in the sky. Those that survive entry and hit the ground are meteorites.

The document discusses the coordinated function of the nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems in the human body. It provides an overview of the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It also describes the peripheral nervous system, including the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system is further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which work to regulate involuntary body functions.
This lesson plan aims to teach students about meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites. It will begin with a motivation activity to familiarize students with related terms. Students will then learn about the differences between meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites - specifically what happens when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere. The lesson emphasizes the importance of perseverance in achieving goals by relating shooting stars to making wishes come true through hard work. To evaluate learning, students will define and differentiate key terms and concepts in exercises.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This document provides an overview of the history and development of the atomic theory. It discusses early Greek philosophers like Democritus who proposed that all matter is composed of indivisible atoms. Later, scientists like John Dalton developed atomic theory further by proposing that atoms are tiny, indivisible particles that combine to form all substances. The document then outlines evidence for subatomic particles like J.J. Thomson's discovery of electrons and Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus. It defines key subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons and how they combine to form different atoms and isotopes.
460 BC - Greek philosopher proposes the existence of the atom
He pounded materials until he made them into smaller and smaller parts
He called them atoma which is Greek for “indivisible”.
The Historical Development of Atomic ModelsDhen Bathan
The document traces the historical development of atomic models from ancient Greek philosophers Democritus and Leucippus proposing the first idea of atoms, to J.J. Thomson discovering the electron in 1903 and proposing atoms have a positively-charged sphere with electrons embedded, to Rutherford discovering the proton in 1911 and proving atoms have a nucleus, to Bohr solving problems with his 1913 model of electrons moving in shells around the nucleus, to Chadwick discovering the neutron in 1932 and establishing the modern nuclear model of the atom with protons and neutrons in the nucleus surrounded by electrons.
Learning Competencies:
-explain how typhoons develop;
- infer why the Philippines is prone to typhoons;
-explain how landmasses and bodies of water affect typhoons;
1) On a clear night, the unaided human eye can see about 6,000 stars, though light pollution limits this to a few hundred in urban/suburban areas.
2) Constellations originally referred to patterns of the brightest stars representing mythological figures, though today they are defined regions of the sky regardless of star brightness.
3) The apparent motion of stars is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis and revolution around the Sun, making some stars appear to rise and set daily or be visible only seasonally.
This lesson plan covers the formation and development of typhoons. It includes objectives, content understanding, learning resources, activities to engage students, and an assessment. Students will learn that typhoons form from warm, moist air rising over the ocean and condensing into clouds and rainfall. As more warm air rises to replace the air that formed the clouds, winds begin to circulate, potentially strengthening into a typhoon. The lesson uses videos, diagrams, and questions to help students understand the factors and step-by-step process of how typhoons form and develop.
This document discusses meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites. It begins by asking readers if they have seen a shooting star and clarifying that a shooting star is actually a meteor. It then defines meteoroids as broken up rocks and dust from comets, asteroids, the Moon or Mars. When meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it heats up and burns, creating a meteor. Any fragment that survives this entry and reaches the ground is called a meteorite. The document differentiates these terms and shows where meteoroid, meteor and meteorite would be located. It includes a daily checkup quiz and assignment to research superstitious beliefs about space objects.
According to PAGASA, about 20 tropical cyclones called typhoons enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) each year, with PAR located within 115°E-135°E longitude and 5°N-25°N latitude. A typhoon is a tropical cyclone characterized by counterclockwise rotating winds around a low pressure eye, with typhoons having maximum wind speeds over 64 kph and categorized from tropical depression to super typhoon. The key differences between typhoons and hurricanes are the geographical regions where they occur, with typhoons specific to the northwest Pacific and hurricanes occurring in the northeast Pacific and northern Atlantic.
This document provides information about the particle nature of matter. It includes standards and objectives about demonstrating an understanding of the particle nature of matter and its properties. It discusses the key concepts of explaining the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on how the particles are arranged and move. It also explains physical changes in these states in terms of particle arrangement and motion, and how this can be used to explain processes like melting, freezing, evaporating, and condensing.
The document outlines a lesson plan on global warming and greenhouse gases for students. It includes objectives, materials, teaching strategies, and activities. Students will construct a model greenhouse, relate the greenhouse effect to rising global temperatures, and identify solutions to minimize global warming. Activities include plotting temperature graphs from greenhouse setups and interpreting graphs of atmospheric carbon dioxide and effects. The lesson aims to educate students on human contributions to climate change and how they can help protect the planet.
Alchemists in the Middle Ages first introduced symbols for elements, which influenced modern chemists' use of symbols for convenience. Jons Jacob Berzelius invented the current system of chemical symbols. Elements' symbols are derived from their names in Latin, English, or the scientists who discovered them. Henry Moseley's work with X-ray spectra showed that atomic number, not mass, determines an element's position in the periodic table. This led to restating the periodic law in terms of atomic number and the modern form of the periodic table.
1) Tropical cyclones originate in the Intertropical Convergence Zone near the equator where trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge.
2) A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that forms over the northwest Pacific ocean, characterized by strong counterclockwise rotating winds around a low-pressure eye.
3) Two key factors fuel the formation and strengthening of a typhoon - rapid updrafts of warm moist air from the ocean surface, and the condensation and release of heat from this water vapor into the swirling winds.
Comets are icy, dusty objects that orbit the Sun. They are composed of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. When a comet approaches the Sun, its ice warms and sublimates into gas, forming a coma - a fuzzy cloud around the comet. Solar wind and radiation pressure cause the coma to form two tails - a blue ion tail and a white dust tail. Comets can be short-period or long-period depending on the shape and size of their orbits.
This lesson plan teaches 8th grade students about the cell cycle and mitosis. It has three main parts: concepts, objectives, and lesson proper. The concepts explain the stages of the cell cycle (interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis) and phases of mitosis. The objectives are for students to analyze the cell cycle stages, identify mitosis phases, and understand the importance of mitosis. The lesson proper uses an engaging activity and diagrams to explain the cell cycle and mitosis phases through exploration, explanation, and evaluation. The goal is for students to understand how cells reproduce through mitosis and its importance.
The document discusses the different members of the solar system including the planets Mercury through Neptune, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, artificial satellites, and more. It explains that asteroids occupy the large gap between Mars and Jupiter, and can be seen through telescopes. Comets revolve around the sun in highly elliptical orbits with long revolution periods. Meteors are small objects that occasionally enter the Earth's atmosphere, though they are commonly called shooting stars. Artificial satellites are man-made objects that orbit Earth closer than the moon.
Asteroids occupy the large gap between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are small bodies that orbit the sun in elongated orbits and have tails. Halley's Comet appears every 76 years. Meteors are small objects that burn up when entering Earth's atmosphere, appearing as shooting stars. Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through comet debris. Some large meteors survive entry and are called meteorites. Satellites are natural or artificial objects that orbit Earth or other planets. Artificial satellites have practical applications like weather forecasting and telecommunications.
This document discusses describing motion and position. It explains that motion can be slow or fast, and provides examples. The document then states that this module will teach how to describe an object's motion in terms of position, distance traveled, and speed using charts, diagrams and graphs. It discusses that describing position requires knowing how far an object is from a reference point and its direction relative to that point. An activity is described where students hide an object and provide written instructions for others to find it, revising the instructions to improve clarity based on feedback.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
