This activity is aimed at KS3 students and discusses an issue of a freight transport. We follow a journey of an apple from various locations in the world (China, Spain, New Zealand), as it travels to the UK. There are 6 different scenarios to discuss. Students calculate time, cost, CO2 emissions of each journey. They also discuss transport alternatives.
4GMAT Diagnostic Test Q12 - Problem Solving - Word Problem - Algebra - Ratios4gmatprep
This one is a algebraic word problem in ratios. A GMAT problem solving question. Typical question that you can expect in the quant section of the GMAT exam. An easy question.
An SUV consumes 40% more fuel than a family sedan for the same distance. The total fuel consumed when an SUV and a family sedan drove 1050 km each was 360 litres. How many litres of fuel does the sedan consume per km?
A) 5 liters
B) 0.2 liters
C) 7 liters
D) 0.14 liters
E) 1.2 liters

CO2 emission in the world is growing rapidly. We had many natural disasters already because of that and we have to expect even more in the future. We are the only ones - humans, who, can reduce CO2 as much as possible, so our children can enjoy beautiful and healthy life!
This was a university assessment for calculating a Carbon footprint with a fictional case study.
AlProCom is a global aluminium production company that sources bauxite ore from around the world and processes it into Aluminium metal for sale. There are several strategic decisions that the board wish to assess in relation to an order for Airbus France for 750,000 tonnes of refined Al metal per annum for the next 12 years.
Want to learn how to measure and reduce logistics emissions, then check out the presentation from my Logistics Sustainability and Profitability 101 class.
The slides will show you how you can reduce both your costs and emissions at the same time, just by using best practices and existing technology, including how to reduce:
- Average parcel shipment cost by over $2
- Transportation greenhouse-gas-emissions by 40% or more
- Corrugate usage by over 20%
- Energy bills by over 10%
- And much, much more.
Unlike other sustainability courses that focus on complex ESG strategies or carbon accounting standards, our class focuses strictly on how to quickly and easily slash your costs and emissions.
Tyler Cole, host of the FreightWaves’ Net-Zero Carbon podcast, and Kevin Mireles, founder of CutCO2.net, combine their 30+ years of sustainable supply chain experience to provide simple, actionable insights you can use to save money and the planet.

CONVERSION OF UNITS OF MEASUREMENTS
Conversion of unit of Measurements for Length
1) Identify the unit you are starting with.
2) Identify the unit you want to end with.
3) Find the conversion factor/s that will convert the starting unit to ending unit. Using the fractional form the unit you want to end will be the numerator the unit to be cancelled will be the denominator.
4) Set up the Mathematical expression so that all units except the unit you want to end with, will not be cancelled.
Convert 36 inches to feet.
Solution:
Step 1: inches
Step 2 : feet
Step 3 : (1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡)/(12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠)
Step 4: 36 inches x (1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡)/(12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠) = 3 feet
Step 5: Therefore, 36 in = 3 feet

In 2013 we developed these 6 x case studies of people from Newcastle University involved in transport to showcase at British Science Festival. transportNewcastle was an initiative uniting all transport people across the university via different activities. Our 6 people came from different backgrounds and university schools and the idea was to showcase variety of transport-related careers. And so we have transport lecturers (from civil engineering), mechanical engineering student (Formula 1 project) or guys from IT.
All data was collected in 2013, six years later some of them have different jobs.

In 2013 we developed these 6 x case studies of people from Newcastle University involved in transport to showcase at British Science Festival. transportNewcastle was an initiative uniting all transport people across the university via different activities. Our 6 people came from different backgrounds and university schools and the idea was to showcase variety of transport-related careers. And so we have transport lecturers (from civil engineering), mechanical engineering student (Formula 1 project) or guys from IT.
All data was collected in 2013, six years later some of them have different jobs.
This activity was developed by a team of Mahidol University undergraduate engineering students. They designed this presentation + 5 x cut out sheets to teach primary school children about rail track ballast. We delivered this activity in Bangkok in November 2018.
We developed these 8 career sheets to showcase people involved in MetroExchange project (UK-TH) and how much of the four specific STEM subjects they use at work. It was approved on 24 October 2018, we took it to primary school and promote it online.
Since then some people changed their jobs and currently work elsewhere. Designed by Anna Fraszczyk.
The activity showcases 2 sheets: no 1 - 7 bridges over River Tyne (Newcastle-Gateshead) and no 2 - cut out sheet with different modes of transport. The task is for kids to decide which mode goes on which bridge and why (e.g. family goes on a pedestrian bridge, train goes on a railway bridge not on a road bridge). We can also discuss bridge design principles, etc. We developed this activity with Newcastle University students for the British Science Festival in 2013. Graphics were done by a professional graphic designer.
The ‘Maths Girl Sky Train Ride in Bangkok’ activity, based on ‘Maths Girl Metro Ride’ (2016), was originally designed, written and delivered by Dr Anna Fraszczyk in August 2017. So far the activity was delivered multiple times in primary schools in the UK (Newcastle, London, Cardiff), Poland (Warsaw) and Thailand (Bangkok). The activity is suitable to 7-12 year old students. In addition to the slides, students work on hands-on tasks (e.g. draw a clock or 3D metro sign, calculate ticket price or timetable, discuss different types of metro trains).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
