This lesson plan is for a pre-K class to observe and classify objects that float or sink. The students will make predictions about which objects will float or sink, then conduct an experiment by dropping various objects (apple, balloon, etc.) in water. They will record their observations and discuss the results. The students will then create posters labeling objects as things that sink or float, and provide additional examples of each.
What may have seemed like science fiction, surgery without an incision, is now a reality that is making lives better for patients suffering from chronic acid reflux also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Peter Janu, MD, a general surgeon, provides basic information about GERD as well as common treatment options including the new TIF (transoral incisionless fundoplication) procedure for the treatment of GERD.
Anaemia results from a lack of red blood cells or dysfunctional red blood cells in the body. This leads to reduced oxygen flow to the body's organs.
Symptoms may include fatigue, skin pallor, shortness of breath, lightheadness, dizziness or a fast heartbeat.
Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis. Iron supplements may be used for iron deficiency. Vitamin B supplements maybe used for low vitamin levels. Blood transfusions may be used for blood loss. Medications to induce blood formation may be used if the body’s blood production is reduced.

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

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.

Sink or float Unit Instructions
1. Sink or Float Unit
Pre-K class (4 years old,12 students)
Objectives: Observe and classify objects that float or sink and then classify
objects according to whether they sink or float.
Life Skills: Observing. This lesson will also provide practice categorizing a
variety of objects according to observable characteristics (heavy/light;
big/small).
Vocabulary: sink, float, weight, shape, prediction, observation, experiment
Instructions:
1. Ask children to brainstorm on what it means:
- ‘to sink’, what sinks, why does it sink?
- ‘to float’, what floats, why does it float?
2. Conduct a short predictions survey and record answers on the prediction
part of the sheet:
2. 3. Read the book Who sunk the boat by Pamella Allen. (youtube video for
FSU class, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsYb1YSYR34). Ask the
children their thoughts of why the boat sunk.
[Optional, for older kids: explain to children about density, weight, and
shape/size. Ask the same questions from point 2 again, record the
answers and see if they changed. ]
4. Conduct an experiment:
Materials needed:
Several small tubs filled with water (as needed), apple, balloon, banana,
plastic spoon, sponge, coins and a record sheet for each science team (4
teams, 3 kids in each)
Procedure:
Each group has a record sheet and a tub of water. Each group receives
each item one at the time (a balloon, apple, banana, plastic spoon,
sponge, and coins.)
The students will make predictions of which items that they think will
sink and which items that they think will float. Students in the groups
will take turns dropping each object into their container of water. (Ask
them to observe what happens.)
They tell the results to the rest of the class, and each team marks it on
the record sheet. After each group has finished testing their objects
discuss the results using the following questions:
- How many of your predictions were correct?
- Look at the objects that sunk. Describe them. Do they have anything
in common with one another?
- Look at the objects that floated. Describe them. Do they have
anything in common with one another?

3. Evaluation:
Each student will receive a worksheet with pictures of each of the experiment
items. They have to cut and paste them correctly on individual science posters
labeled "Sink or Float". They have to come up with one additional example for
each category (something that wasn’t mentioned in the class).
The kindergarteners will also be tested on sorting a group of objects and telling
me how they chose to sort them. Examples are by: size, shape, weight, color,
if it sinks or floats. They will be required to make sentences with the new
vocabulary.
