What are the challenges of teaching elementary school science?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:43:52 +0000

I am finishing up my education and will be teaching next fall. I am wondering what challenges there are to teaching science in elementary school. This subject scares me more than any other. Please help!

I think for many elementary teachers in the US, the big challenge is getting to actually teach science. Sadly, much of it is being pushed out of the way by greater emphasis on improving test scores in reading and math.

Another challenge is simply the setting up of the hands-on activities and the cleaning up. Hand-in-hand with all of that is safety issues.

Assessment can be a big challenge when doing hands-on science activities. How can you be sure all the kids got what they should have gotten out of all of that? Learning journals/lab notebooks turn out to be crucial here. They also give kids a chance to practice important skills like writing, describing, and summarizing.

What are some strategies to lose weight over the summer?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:43:45 +0000

I Have a treadmill and home gym and weigh 220 . I need strategies that dont put me in a rough diet,but i am however willing to work hard every day.

It’s real simple. You have to burn more calories than you take in. Exercise, exercise, exercise. It’s summer. Go outside. Walk, bike, play ball. And the great thing is an exercised muscle burns more calories than a non-exercised muscle. So once you start, your muscles will burn more calories while you are just sitting than if you had never exercised them.

For a team meeting in a social work setting, what should I do for a professional development activity?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:43:38 +0000

Depending on the number of people, divide into small groups. Pick a word for each group (don’t tell the other groups). Give each group a stack of typing paper, stapler, scissors, and tape. Give the groups 10 minutes to use the available tools to make one person from each group into whatever that word is. Start with a word beginning with the letter A, like Aligator. Make the other groups guess what the word is, based on their ability to make one person into that word.
This is a stupid and fun activity, but it engages everybody in each group, requires creativity and problem solving skills, managing and delegating tasks, and teamwork.

I have to set up a fund raising event for art and literacy with a showcase ethnic food and entertainment, help

this is a fundraiser for the community to raise money and promote literacy this is to be a weekend long event, if anyone has any suggestions i would be happy to hear them, thank you

Ask many local restaurants to participate by donating food. Give them a receipt as a tax deduction. Contact a local band and see if they could give you a discounted rate for their services or ask someone who has a band to play for you without cost.

How educational technologies provide support for innovative teaching?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:43:24 +0000

Technology does not replace people – it enables people; it only replace people when they do not know how to wield it.

Hi,
Big topic.
Check this out.

Your absolutely right. technology enables: unfortunately schools don’t recognise this. Most churn out electronic text books: not very creative.

These web sites will take you to opportunities to let students be creative.

Good luck.

What education do I need to become a commercial airline pilot?

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:43:15 +0000

This is something I am REALLY passionate about.
I am in 11th grade and need to start thinking and making choices about what to do for college.
I do not know what education is needed.
Thank you so much for answering!

1. Stay in school and get your 4-year degree. Most airlines require one. They don’t generally care what the degree is in, they just want one.
2. Stay away from drugs. Stay away from people who do drugs. This includes grass.
3. If you drink, NEVER drink and drive—a DUI is a career killer
4. Avoid getting tickets. Many airlines require that you submit your national driving record with your application. Too many tickets=no interview.

You are speaking of entering a career that is incredibly unforgiving of any offenses involving the police: DUI, drugs, assault, etc. The company will, some day, launch you in a 150 million dollar jet, and have to just trust your judgment. Your record needs to be spotless.

You must be in reasonable health to fly. Before you start making career decisions, make certain that you currently meet the medical requirements by finding an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) on faa.gov, and taking a Class I Physical. This is even more true for the military.

Flight Training:

You can go to an aviation college, and get the training along with the degree. I am a little concerned with what an aviation degree does for a person who suddenly because of health or other issues, can’t fly. San Jacinto has a 2-year program that gets an Associate Degree, and all the ratings. I am certain that there are others. After that, you can move to another college and finish out a 4-year degree in some fall-back area. Total cost will probably be somewhere in the 70K range, and student loans are available.

Get your 4-year degree, and then attend an accelerated program such as ATP, where you will spend 50-70K, loans are available, and get all the ratings in about 3-9 months.

Go to your local flight school, and take the training there. This will sometimes be a little hodge podge, and the schools can be all over the map in terms of quality of training and equipment. I live in a major metro area, and I know of only three local flight schools where I would have or have sent my children, or that I am willing to recommend. These schools, no matter what they say, just aren’t geared to getting you through quickly. Plan on at least 2 years from start to finish. This might be cheaper than any of the other options, until you consider the opportunity cost.

After you get your 4-year degree, go to the military. The upside is that you get to fly some really neat equipment and serve your country, assuming that you are a US citizen. The downside is that, if you are not s..t-hot, you may find yourself flying some really mundane equipment, and you are still committed to a long time in the service. I think the current commitment is 10 years, Did I mention that you might get shot at! When you separate from the military, if you can find a slot in the Reserves or Guard, it can be a real godsend if you are furloughed. You just go back the the military until the furlough is canceled. It can also help bolster your pay during those lean first few years. On the other hand, many military pilots separate with less than 1000 hours, so they, after 10 years in the military, still have to go to the Regionals to build time. So the upgrade to the Major can easily be 15 years after college graduation, or 37+ years old.

My suggestion is that you go to the local airport, find a school that has reasonably new and clean aircraft, and take a few lessons. Maybe even go through the complete Private course. If you really struggle with this program, then maybe professional aviation isn’t for you. Everyone hits bumps in the road, but if you are one of those people who can’t solo after 30-40 hours, then you either need a new instructor, or you may not be cut out for this job. If you already possess the 4-year degree, then IMHO ATP is the best/only way to go because it will get you done in a very short period of time. Remember the clock on the end of your career is already ticking. If you don’t have a 4-year degree, then you have some time to explore the other options.

I have seen a lot of guys go through ATP, and be hired by a Regional less than one year after solo. That is NOT happening in the current economic climate, but will probably happen again in the future. When is anybodies guess.

Good Luck

What are some objects in a classroom that contain calcium?

What are some objects in a classroom that contain calcium?
Thanks for helping.

You can find calcium anywhere in the classroom. Chalk is composed of calcium sulfate. Calcium oxide and calcium phosphate are used in the making of glass, which is found in classroom windows. Calcium carbonate and calcium stearate are used in the production of cement. Calcium tungstate is used in paint and light bulbs, and calcium and its compound variants (hydroxylapite) keep the kids alive and healthy.
