Pathogens and Disease (Grade 10)
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 boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
Mendel and Heredity
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed satellite data from NASA and the European Space Agency and found that nitrogen dioxide levels decreased significantly during lockdown periods in major cities across the world as traffic and industrial activities reduced. Overall, the temporary improvements in air quality during widespread lockdowns highlight the human-caused nature of poor air quality but also show how collective changes in behavior can positively impact the environment.
E5 (HL) The Human Brain
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 boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.
E1 Stimulus And Response
The document defines key terms related to stimulus and response, including receptors, sensory neurons, relay neurons, motor neurons, synapses, and effectors. It also describes the components of a reflex arc, including how a pain withdrawal reflex is mediated by the spinal cord's grey matter. Specifically, injury stimulates pain receptors, starting an action potential in sensory neurons that relays to relay neurons in the spinal cord which coordinate the motor neuron response of muscle contraction or relaxation through the effector to remove the body from the painful stimulus. Finally, it provides two examples of how animal responses have evolved through natural selection in blackcap bird migration patterns and butterfly mate preferences.
How International Is Our School? MA Dissertation
This dissertation describes the development and pilot testing of tools to evaluate the international-mindedness and global engagement (IMaGE) of schools. The author conducted a literature review to define IMaGE and identify 8 factors ("radials") that influence it. Rubrics were created to measure each radial. The tools were pilot tested via case study at the author's international school in Japan. 10 faculty volunteers used the rubrics to assess the school's IMaGE, generating a "web chart." Results provided preliminary feedback on the school's IMaGE and identified areas for improvement. While limitations restrict reliability, the web chart showed potential as an evaluation tool if further developed and tested with larger samples. The study aimed to advance understanding of
Chromosomes, Genes, Alleles and Mutations
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function.

Chemistry Lab Manual 2012-13
Here are the steps to improve the accuracy and precision of measurements:
1. Calibrate equipment regularly using standard samples of known mass/volume. This reduces systematic error.
2. Use appropriate precision tools - e.g. measuring cylinders for liquids, not beakers. This reduces random error.
3. Take multiple measurements and report the average. This reduces the effect of random error.
4. Record measurements to an appropriate number of significant figures based on the precision of the tool. This communicates the level of uncertainty.
5. Consider and report possible sources of error, both systematic and random. This provides full context for the results.
Following these steps helps produce measurements that are both accurate to
