Designing Life Experience
Have you ever thought how the tools you use in your job as a UX Designer apply to your life? That they could be used to design a different kind of experience?
These thoughts crossed my mind and this is the second iteration of the idea as presented on Saturday June 7th 2014 at the UX Camp Europe in Berlin.
My Personal Strengths
This document presents a person's top 10 personal strengths according to the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment. Their top strengths are Learner, Achiever, and Strategic Thinking. The document also provides descriptions of each of the 14 strengths assessed by the test and indicates what percentage of the population each strength represents. It concludes by explaining each strength in more detail.
Polymers In Tennis
Polymers have significantly improved tennis equipment like racquets, balls, and court surfaces. Modern tennis racquets utilize strong yet elastic nylon strings instead of natural gut. Tennis balls now contain a rubber core made of polyisoprene instead of leather, improving their durability and performance. Additionally, outdoor tennis courts often incorporate polyethylene and polyurethane in their construction for durability and performance.
How to save money!!
The document provides tips for saving money. It recommends starting to save right away, even with a small salary, as savings will add up over time. It also suggests writing down savings goals to make them more concrete. Additionally, it advises saving money in a bank to avoid unnecessary spending, and setting up different savings accounts for various goals like retirement, vacations, or large purchases. Once started, maintaining the habit of saving becomes easier.
Understanding Loneliness in Social Awareness Streams - ICWSM 2014 Presentation
An unabridged version of the presentation for ICWSM 2014, on the paper "Understanding Loneliness in Social Awareness Streams: Expressions and Responses" by Funda Kivran-Swaine, Jeremy Ting, Jed R. Brubaker, Rannie Teodoro, and Mor Naaman. Full paper at bit.ly/kivranswaine_loneliness
Difference Between Poor & Rich Countries
The document discusses factors that differentiate poor and rich countries. It determines that the age of a country, natural resources, intellectual level, and race are not determining factors, as some old countries and those without resources are rich, while some intelligent populations remain poor. The key difference, it concludes, is the attitudes and principles of a population, including ethics, integrity, patriotism, responsibility, respect for law and order, citizens' rights, hard work, and punctuality. Adopting these attitudes and principles is presented as the path for a country to become rich and successful.

Protists
Organisms in the kingdom protista are some of the most varied life forms on the planet. Some are unicellular, some multicellular. Some are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs.
Bacteria
Bacteria are a very interesting form of life because of their various shapes and reproductive capabilities. In this session, we'll look at their role in the ecosystem and see examples of them. If you have a microscope, consider looking at prepared slides.
Viruses
This covers some of the reproductive charachteristics of viruses. For example viruses are non-living and have to attach to a host to reproduce.
What is life
In this show, we look at what all living things have in common. All living things respond to stimuli, grow and develop, are made of chemicals and reproduce. Some great visuals.
Evolution

Metals, Non-metals and metalloids
This presentation follows metals and focuses on the transition metals over to the pure metals, non-metals and metalloids. If you are a teacher, I have a great lab to help students classify substances based on their physical and chemical properties. Just drop me a line at gjohnston@ssis.edu.vn
Organizing the elements
After students have learned about basic properties of elements such atomic number and mass, they're ready to explore how the periodic table is organized.
Ionic bonds
This is a short description of Ionic bonds and how an elements location on the periodic table and what it bonds with determines if it is Ionic. A good follow up lab is to see if students can see if ionic compounds produce ions in distilled water.
Metals
This document discusses the physical and chemical properties of metals and how they are classified. It describes the physical properties of metals like malleability, ductility, and luster. The chemical properties discussed are reactivity and corrosion. Metals are classified into three main groups - alkali metals, which are the most reactive; alkali earth metals, which are harder/denser and melt at higher temperatures than alkali metals; and transition metals. The document aims to teach students about the key properties and classification of metals.
Covalent bonds
Covalent (molecular) bonds are bonds formed between non-metals. In this show, you'll see some examples of covalent bonds.
Introduction to the atom
An overview to how the periodic table is organized. Questions covered are what is atomic number and how is the periodic table organized with respect to the type of substance.
Atoms, bonding and the periodic table
Information about how an elements position on the periodic table will communicate it's ability to bond and form compounds. A chart of valence electrons is included.
Meeting Caine
How can we help students share their passions with the world? It's not just about knowing what technical tools are out there, but how can we use them and social media in a way that give students a larger audience and write authentically.
Tully monster classification
The document discusses the Tully Monster, an unusual fossil found exclusively in a single location in Illinois. While complete fossils have never been discovered, they are always found in groups. The Tully Monster likely had a complete digestive system and straight intestine. Its small teeth could not retract into its body. Other fossils commonly found alongside it provide clues to its environment. Questions remain about its phylogenetic classification and reasons for extinction.
Plant cell comparison
The document contains instructions for students to take samples of their cheek cells and onion cells to observe under microscopes at different magnifications, drawing what they see. Students are asked to note the shape of the cells and whether they can observe any structures inside the cells. They are also prompted to discuss what cell parts they already know and have questions about.
Action research on grading and assessment practices of grade 7 mathematics
The document discusses changes made to the 7th grade math program, including shifting to a grading system that emphasized summative assessments over assignments. Test scores and student surveys showed benefits from this change, such as higher test scores and students reporting improved learning and lower stress. The grading change aimed for students to take responsibility as learners through mastery-based assessments rather than multiple chances. Differentiated practice levels and targeted test preparation helped students learn effectively.

This document provides 5 math activities and 5 formative assessment strategies that can be used in the classroom. The math activities are designed to engage students and help develop basic math skills, and include games like card games and number puzzles. The formative assessments are quick ways to check understanding of all students, such as thumbs up/down, holding up fingers to indicate level of understanding, and anonymous exit interviews. The goal is to integrate these activities before, during and after math lessons.
International boiling point project
Mr. Gary Johnston's document discusses factors that affect the boiling point of water, including temperature, volume of water, elevation, and heating device. It outlines an experiment to test how these factors impact boiling point using different volumes of water. The experiment found that with 300ml of water, the average boiling point was 98.38°C; with 500ml it was 100.5°C; and with 700ml it was 99.25°C. All experiments were conducted at similar room temperatures near 25°C. The document analyzes how volume of water may influence boiling point.
Math test score analysis unit 3
Mr. Johnston sent a letter to Mr. Saigon South International School regarding a student's academic performance from the 2011-2012 school year. The student showed improvement from their practice tests to actual tests. Their grades increased across all subjects and units, though one unit showed lower performance. The teacher praised the student's improvement and encouraged focusing on continued growth rather than past struggles.
Math test score analysis unit 2
The document contains graphs and charts showing student performance of Green and Blue on practice tests, actual tests, and observations in different subjects. It notes that Blue used practice tests more which helped performance. It provides feedback on different blocks, noting Blues improved while Greens need to work harder. It suggests students set better goals, ask for help, and familiarize themselves with class resources to improve performance.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
