Science in Latin means “to know,” and, in the case of current scientific approaches, it can be thought of as both process and content. Understanding science concepts is an important precursor to facilitating the instruction of science. As a teacher, it is important to learn methods and strategies to help facilitate investigation, exploration, and discovery of scientific concepts in your classroom.Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation that can be used to mentor new teachers and/or to present to colleagues. Discuss inquiry-based learning and explore methods to facilitate investigation, exploration, and discovery of scientific concepts. Include the following in the presentation: Overview of Pennsylvania science standards appropriate for pre-K and K-3, including a link to the online listing of standards for your state.Description of three basic scientific processes that would encourage early childhood students to understand, question. and analyze science contentAt least 2-3 developmentally appropriate instructional methods that can be used to engage all students in science instruction and activate prior knowledgeMinimum of 2-3 developmentally appropriate instructional resources that can be used to engage all students in science instruction and activate prior knowledgeTitle slide, detailed presenter notes, and a reference slideUse 3-5 scholarly sources and supporting details as needed and where appropriate. https://www.generationgenius.com/pennsylvania-scie...https://www.pdesas.org/Standard/ViewWhile APA style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines,

Goal: To be able to describe and identify the common volcano types, and relate volcano types with associated volcanic hazards, tectonic setting, and geographic location. Volcano shape is strongly controlled by eruptive style, which in turn is controlled by magma composition and tectonic setting. This lab is intended to give you the opportunity to examine volcanoes from around the globe, and to interpret the tectonic settings in which they form. To learn more about volcanoes, check out the following websites: the Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program: http://volcano.si.edu/, Volcano World: http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/; USGS Volcanic Hazards Program http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/.

Evaluating Your Own Risk for Inherited DiseaseFor this Assignment you will think about your individual health and health risks. What genetic diseases or problems might you face during your lifetime? Predisposition to heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes? You may consider your own health risks or those of other individuals such as a family member or friend. Then, in a paper of 750–1,000 words, address the following issues:What genetic diseases or problems were determined to be potential issues?Provide an introduction of the disease, outlining the major signs/symptoms of the disorder and the reason why this was selected as a genetic/inherited disease?Research the mode of inheritance for this disease/trait? Why? If you are not able to find a specific mode of inheritance, provide a hypothesis for the mode of inheritance. Explain your thinking here very thoroughly; this should take up about half of the length of the Assignment.What other information would help you draw better conclusions about this disease?What problems did you encounter in gathering information about your family's history or that of the person you interviewed?If you were to have a child, what could you tell him or her about his/her chances of inheriting the diseases based upon your research about the inheritability of the trait you are researching?Finally, visit the library by clicking on the “Library” link on the Campus homepage. Select the option to perform an advanced search. Find two references that pertain to the disease/trait you selected. Record the methods that you used to discover these sources, and answer the following questions:Which search term(s) did you use?Did you use combinations of search terms?Which methods resulted in the most “hits” or results?Did you refine any of your searches? In other words, did you perform an initial search and then further narrow the results?
