1) The document is about the phases of the moon and provides information about the moon's orbit and appearance at different times of the month.
2) It explains that the moon's phases are caused by the changing position of the moon in its orbit around Earth and the varying amounts of sunlight that reach the moon's surface.
3) Activities and diagrams are included to demonstrate the different moon phases and how the illuminated portion changes over the course of a month as the moon orbits Earth.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
24. The moon is about 27% smaller than
the earth. Below is a side-by-side
comparison.
25. The moon is about 238,900 miles from
the earth. Picture taken during Apollo 11 Mission.
26. If the Moon was a circle 2 centimeters
in diameter, the Earth would be 8
centimeters in diameter. The distance
to the Moon would be 60 times this
distance, or 8 cm x 60 = 480
centimeters (4.8 meters).
27. This shows the distance between the
earth and the moon to scale.

28. It took 3 days for the Apollo 11 to
reach the moon, traveling at 7 miles
per second. (25,200 mph)

33. When sunlight hits the moon's surface,
the temperature can reach 253o F .
The "dark side of the moon" can have
temperatures dipping to minus 243o F .
34. The coldest place in our
solar system might be in
one of the moon’s
craters. Some of these
craters NEVER get
sunlight. They are in
constant shadow. New
surveys determined that
these might be as cold
as -397 degrees
Fahrenheit!
57. How is it possible for us to see the Full Moon
when it’s behind the Earth? Why doesn’t the
Earth block the Moon from getting sunlight?
58. The Moon's orbit actually dips a little
bit above and below an imaginary line
drawn between Earth and the Sun.
That is why Earth seldom blocks the
Sunlight from reflecting off the full
Moon. Once in a while, though, Earth
does get directly in the way, and we
have the exciting event called a lunar
eclipse.

110. The best guess would be Feb. 2nd, but in actuality,
it will be on Feb. 4th.

New
111. The reason our good guesses are not
perfect is because the Moon takes
27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar
phase cycle (from new Moon to new
Moon) is 29.5 days. The Moon spends
the extra 2.2 days "catching up"
because Earth travels about 45 million
miles around the Sun during the time
the Moon completes one orbit around
Earth.

around the Earth.
