1) Ancient Greek thinkers like Pythagoras, Anaxagoras, and Aristotle provided evidence that the Earth was round rather than flat based on observations of lunar eclipses, the positions of stars, and ships disappearing over the horizon.
2) Eratosthenes directly measured the circumference of the Earth in the 3rd century BCE by comparing the angles of shadows cast by sticks in Alexandria and Syene on the summer solstice, determining that the Earth must be spherical.
3) The ancient Greeks developed models of celestial motion including diurnal motion of the stars, annual motion of the sun, and precession of Earth's axis to explain their observations of the heavens.

Lesson 1 In the Beginning (Big Bang Theory and the Formation of Light Elements)Simple ABbieC
Content: How the Elements Found in the Universe were Formed
Content Standard:
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
• the formation of the elements during the Big Bang and during stellar evolution
Learning Competency
The learners:
• give evidence for and explain the formation of the light elements in the Big Bang theory (S11/12PS-IIIa-1)
Summary
• The big bang theory explains how the elements were initially formed the formation of different elements involved many nuclear reactions, including fusion fission and radioactive decay
• There are three cosmic stages through which specific groups of elements were formed.
(1) The big bang nucleosynthesis formed the light elements(H, He, and Li).
(2) Stellar formation and evolution formed the elements heavier than Be to Fe.
(3) Stellar explosion , or supernova, formed the elements heavier than Fe.
• Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that have all the properties of an element. They composed of smaller subatomic particles as protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have positive charge, neutrons are electrically neutral; and electrons have a negative charge.
• The nucleus, which takes the central region of an atom, is comprised of protons and neutrons, electrons move around the nucleus.
• The atomic number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom. In a neutral atom, number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. The atomic mass (A) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
• Isotopes refer to atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic masses.
• Ions, which are positively or negatively charged particles, have the same number of protons in different number of electrons.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
3. They believed that objects were
made up of four elements: air, earth,
fire, and water.
They supposed that there were
different types of motion that caused
stationary objects to move and
moving objects to stop.
6. Natural motion
the tendency of objects to go back
to their natural state
For example, the natural motion of
a rock, which is made up of the
element earth, is to go downward or
toward the ground. This notion
explained why a stone that was
thrown upward always fell back to
7. Voluntary motion
the ability of humans (as well as
other animals) to move because
they have the will or the capacity
to do so
8. Involuntary motion
the motion caused by unnatural
conditions
For example, a plant does not
have the ability to move around,
but it can be mechanically
moved by air or water.
10. Diurnal motion
refers to the apparent
movement of stars and other
celestial bodies around the
Earth. It is caused by Earth’s
rotation from west to east.
12. Annual motion
refers to the apparent yearly
movement of the Sun across a
background of stars. This
movement is caused by Earth’s
revolution around the Sun.
14. Precession
refers to the conical motion of
Earth’s axis as it spins. Because
of precession, Earth’s axis shifts
very slowly, completing one
cycle every 26 000 years.
17. Around 500 BCE
Pythagoras and his pupils
proposed that Earth was round
18. Anaxagoras (Around 430 BCE)
Conducted observations that
supported Pythagoras’s
proposal.
He observed that during a lunar
eclipse, the Earth’s shadow was
reflected on the moon’s surface.
The shadow was circular.
19. Aristotle (Around 340 BCE)
Listed several arguments for a
spherical Earth, which included
the shape of the moon and the
sun, the positions of the North
Star, and the disappearance of
the ships when they sailed over
the horizon.
20. Aristotle (Around 340 BCE)
Aristotle argued that if the moon and the sun
were both spherical, then perhaps, Earth was
also spherical.
The North Star was believed to be at a fixed
position in the sky. However, when the Greeks
traveled to places nearer the equator, like
Egypt, they noticed that the North Star is closer
to the horizon. Aristotle argued that such an
observation is only possible if Earth was round.
21. Aristotle (Around 340 BCE)
If the Earth was flat, then a ship traveling
away from an observer should become
smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
However, the Greeks observed that when
the ship sailed, the hull disappeared first,
which implied that the surface of the
Earth was curved.
22. Eratosthenes (Around 240 BCE)
Attempted to measure the circumference
of the Earth.
He received correspondence from Syene
in Southern Egypt. It stated that a vertical
object did not cast any shadow at
noontime during the summer solstice.
23. Eratosthenes (Around 240 BCE)
However, this was not the case in
Alexandria where, at noon time during the
summer solstice, a vertical object still cast
a shadow. These observations could only
mean that the Sun, during this time in
Alexandria, was not directly overhead.
24. Eratosthenes (Around 240 BCE)
Eratosthenes determined the angle that
the Sun made with the vertical direction
by measuring the shadow that a vertical
stick cast. He found out that in Alexandria,
the Sun makes an angle of 7.2° from the
vertical, whereas in Syene, the Sun
makes an angle of 0°. To explain the
difference, he hypothesized that the light
rays coming from the Sun were parallel,
25. Eratosthenes (Around 240 BCE)
From his measurements, Eratosthenes
computed the circumference of the Earth
to be approximately 250 000 stadia or 46
250 km (1 stadia = 185 m).
