This document discusses an experiment involving similar triangles and a flag pole. It outlines the problem of using similar triangles to calculate the height of an inaccessible flag pole based on measurements taken, lists the tools needed to conduct the experiment such as a measuring tape, and explains that the experiment will be performed and conclusions will be drawn.
This is a 5 hour session on coaching/mentoring skills which I put together. You won\’t be able to see the videos, but they\’re mostly from Iqbal and come coaching videos which we searched for and found, on YouTube. Enjoy!
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
This document discusses research strategies for students using online resources. It highlights that while the internet and intranet appear similar, intranet databases are internally edited and contain more curated content. When researching online, students should focus on sources that are relevant, appropriate, detailed, current, authoritative, and unbiased. Specific tools like NoodleTools and graphic organizers can help students organize their research, capture bibliographic data, and receive feedback from teachers throughout the research process.

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. 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.
The document describes a virtual field trip to Hoover Dam, including taking an elevator 50 stories down in 6 seconds to see the large tunnels used to divert water during construction. It explains how water rushing through turbines inside the dam causes them to spin and generate electricity, powering Nevada and Southern California.

1. The document provides instructions for students to create a travel brochure for their favorite country as part of a classroom assignment on map skills.
2. Students are asked to research information about the country using online resources and record their findings in a journal.
3. They then need to create a brochure using the researched information, including facts, maps, and pictures, to attract other tourists to the country.
4. The document includes a rubric that will be used to evaluate the students' completed brochures.
Concepts can be concrete or abstract and are defined as sets of objects or events grouped together based on shared characteristics. There are different levels of understanding concepts from classificatory, where examples and non-examples can be recognized, to formal, where reasons can be provided. Instructional strategies for teaching concepts include presenting examples and non-examples, highlighting terms, using visuals or stories, and describing attributes. Learners should distinguish examples from non-examples, generate their own examples, and apply the concept.
