1. Wong noticed changes in the orientation of her sunflower plants and the opening and closing of her morning glory flowers after placing some plants outdoors and others indoors.
2. She met with botanist Mei to understand why the sunflower facing changed outdoors and both indoor plants grew towards the window.
3. The group identified learning issues like what causes sunflower orientation changes and why morning glory petals open and close, and planned to research by discussing, surfing the internet, and seeking expert advice.
All behavior patterns are co-ordinated sequences of neuromuscular activity. A rhythm is a periodically recurring event.
chronobiology is the study of science of life in relation with time.
The majority of organisms show daily and annual cycles of activity and development.

Most students have alternative conceptions in science. Usually, they get misconceptions from adults and other sources such as media. As a teacher, we play an important role as filters. We have to use suitable way to elicit their ideas and let them know the right science concepts. My group has done a task about alternative concept about clouds and rain formation.
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.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Problem Senario
Wong got two pots of sunflowers and two pots of
morning glories. She placed one of the sunflower plant and
morning glories at outdoor and the rest inside her room to
decorate her room. After she came back from a trip, she
noticed that the sunflower at outdoor had changed its
flower orientation. She also discovered that both of the
flowers in her room have grown towards the opened
window while both outdoor and indoor morning glories
flowers petals closed at night and open during the day. She
decided to meet Mei, who was a famous botanist to solve
her curiosity. As a botanist, how would you help Wong to
solve her curiosity?
3. Facts Ideas
1. Wong got two sunflower plants and two
morning glories.
2. One sunflower and one morning glory plant
are placed at outdoor while another
sunflower and tulip plant are placed indoor.
3. The sunflower placed outdoor has changes
its flowers orientation.
4. Sunflower and morning glory which placed
indoor have grown toward the opened
window.
5. Flower petals of morning glory open during
the day and close at night.
1. The plants grow toward the source of
sunlight.
2. The orientation of sunflower is not due to
outer or human factor.
3. Both types of flowers respond to the
sunlight.
4. Both indoor plants grow toward the
window which light shine in.
5. Outdoor sunflower plant will orientate its
flower petals following the sunlight
direction and will stop at the direction
which the sunlight last emitted.
6. Petals of morning glory will close if there is
no sunlight.
7. Flower respond to heat and sunlight.
8. The closing and opening of morning glory
in day and at night are due to some special
mechanism.
4. Learning Issues Action Plan
1. What have caused the different in the orientation of
sunflower?
2. Does the sunflower change the flower orientation by
itself or other human factor?
3. Why the sunflower changes its orientation? Which
orientation does the sunflower follow?
4. Why both of the flowers that put indoor grow
towards the opened window direction?
