Types of Trees & Leaves ppt - Lesson One
Video Making Tool
Gamification - Lesson One and Two
Overview
This resource provides both the instructional lecture of the lesson in part one and the interactive gamification of the lesson in part two. Lesson one focuses more on the theory about trees and leaves. A PowerPoint is used as an aid in the lecture, and Kahoot is used to test the students knowledge about the presented content.
Lesson two focuses on taking the content learned in lesson one and applying it through a scavenger hunt game. Students are given a list of trees and leaves to hunt. They must work together with their group to find as many as they can. As they search, the must take a photo of their findings and upload it to Padlet. These photos will be used later in an upcoming video project and used to document points. Each item on the list is worth a certain amount of points; points will be tracked through Padlet. Whatever team has the most points wins.
Lesson One - Growing Your Knowledge
Description: This lesson presents information about the differences between coniferous and deciduous trees, the various leaf types as well as the different leaf shapes through a lecture and PowerPoint presentation. This lesson will prepare students for the scavenger hunt game in lesson two.
Audience: Upper elementary and middle school teachers
Objectives:
Recall life cycle of tree/plant
Identify different types of trees and leaves
Define difference between coniferous and deciduous trees
- Recall and understand why trees are necessary to our lives
Media:
- Phone or Laptop to access Kahoot
- PowerPoint
Activities: The class will start off with an icebreaker challenge. Students will find a partner and come up with as many reasons as they can as to why trees are necessary for us to live. They will have two minutes. The answers they come up with can be used to compare with the answers from the video they will watch later in the class. A guided class discussion about the differences in leaf shapes will be led getting the students to think critically and perceptively. After the material has been presented students will engage in a Kahoot game to test their knowledge. A summary of the content presented in the lesson will be gone over. Lastly, students will be reminded of the assigned homework and of the upcoming scavenger hunt.
Assessment:
Through game of Kahoot and guided class discussion.
Follow Up: Gamification Part 2 will be the scavenger hunt.
Lesson Two - Scavenger Hunt
Description: The second portion of this lesson will include an interactive and collaborative scavenger hunt in the ravine. Students are put into groups with five students each and a parent/ teacher supervisor. Students are given a list of trees and leaves they have to find in the rand they must take a picture of their findings and upload it to Padlet. The goal is to acquire photos that will be used in their video project after the field trip. A point system is also in place. Different kinds of trees and leaves are awarded a point value and the star feature on Padlet will allow teachers to award points easily for each post that comes up. Whatever team acquires the most points wins.
Audience: Upper elementary and middle school teachers
Objectives:
- Apply what we learned in class to help you find the trees and leaves on the list
- Recall the differences between coniferous and deciduous trees as well as the different leaf types and shapes
- Collect and upload your findings to Padlet
Media:
- Phone to take photos
- Access to Padlet to upload photos
- Computer to make a post scavenger hunt video of your photos
Activities: Students will meet first in the classroom to go over safety, rules and expectations for the lesson. We would walk to the ravine and once there students would organize themselves into groups of five. Parent/ teacher supervisors will be designated for each group. Students then have 45 minutes to find what they can on the scavenger hunt list. They will take photos of their findings and upload them to Padlet under their designated group section. After the 45 minutes, groups will reconvene at a designated meeting spot set by the instructor prior to the start of the scavenger hunt. After all groups have gathered, students and supervisors will walk back to the classroom for a debriefing.
Assessment:
Students photos uploaded to Padlet and video project to document their understanding and participation.
Follow Up: Quick debrief back at the classroom once we have returned from the scavenger hunt. Review of the expectations for the video project. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:10.934265 | Activity/Lab | {

Performance management systems a way of evaluating the performance of the employees in the public and for-profit sectors but have not been adequately explored in the non profit sector to surface possible sector-specific challenges. This study addresses this gap in the non profit knowledge base by comparing different components of a performance management system from the perspective of management and frontline employees. It identifies the gaps in the perceptions of management and staff related to performance management and identifies five different models of performance management systems, concluding with lessons for practice. To demonstrate their effectiveness, non profit organizations, like public and private sector organizations, are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate their performance and their plans for future improvement. An important part of this process of measuring and fostering effectiveness in managing the performance of organizational members; typically this is accomplished with performance management processes wherein multiple methods of evaluation biannually and annually are done , The non profit organizations’ goals is directly dependent upon the ability of the staff to perform effectively in the management and delivery of services.

Methodology – Quantitative
It can be seen that quantitative process is used and the process is explained
below,
- Comparing the organization’s use of the performance management tools with the staff’s perception of the evaluation tools .
- Correlation of the quality of the performance management and the outcomes in terms of monetary means with the two factors such as performance management index and performance based compensation
- Utilising the different stages of the performance evaluation before and after giving the feed back during annual performance appraisal from the Employees perspective
- Comparing Performance evaluation feedback from both employer and the employees(Front line staff)
The data used in this article are drawn from the research study, Investigating Partner- ships in Early Childhood Education (I-PIECE), which utilizes a structured, comparative case study design and multiple data collection methods. The study includes 22 human service organizations that primarily provide early care and education services in New York State and the Commonwealth of Virginia, with 11 sites included from each state. The data collection techniques employed included instruments to collect qualitative and quantitative data: semi-structured, in-depth interviews, surveys, structured obser- vations, structured assessments of clients, and document analysis. In constructing the survey, interview, and document analysis protocols designed to collect the data on the multiple dimensions of the organizations, employees, and clients being investigated, we first conducted preliminary ethnographic observations in three pretest organiza- tions in order to gain an understanding of how these organizations operate, the management structures prevalent in these organizations, and the particular character- istics of the programs that they operate and the clients that they serve. In the final study, we received a 100 percent response rate on our organizational survey (n=22) and frontline staff survey (n=49). In addition, supporting material is drawn from the semi-structured interviews conducted with the staff concerning the management practices of the organization.

2 - Performance Appraisal, Performance Management, and Firm-Level Performance: A Review, a Proposed Model, and New Directions for Future Research
Angelo E Denissi1* , Caitlin E. Smith2
1Freeman School of Business, Tulane University2 Freeman School of Business, Tulane University
This work focuses on studying on the factors in the long history in management and industrial/organizational psychology of studying methods to improve performance at work. These efforts have traditionally been based on the individual-level performance (with some attention paid to team performance as well); even when research began to more broadly consider the topic of performance management instead of just performance appraisal. However, the often if an organization could effectively improve the performance of individual employees, this would accrue to improvements in firm-level performance as well. A review of the literature suggested that this link had never really been established in a direct way. Instead, we found considerable support for relating “bundles” of human resource (HR) practices to firm-level performance, and several models for how these practices could create the transformation from individual-level to firm-level performance. We drew upon several of these models, from somewhat diverse literatures, to propose a model whereby bundles of HR practices, when aligned with the strategic goals of the organization, can be used to create a climate for performance that could transform generic knowledges, skills, and abilities (KSAs) into specific KSAs for firm level performance of the employee in terms of evaluation available annually

Methodology – Quantitative
It can be seen that quantitative process is used the journal and the process is explained
below,
1.By comparing the individual performance management of the Employees right from the first appraisal by minimising and avoiding the errors
2.By considering the HR practices and the firm’s performance and evaluating the same in terms of monetary means and growth
3.Aligning the performance with the company’s strategic goals
4.Defining the firm’s performance in terms of financial and non-financial terms
Using the HR policy and performance appraisal methods to compare with the standards of individual and team.

Introduction to Physical Sciences (Grade 12)
INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL SCIENCES
WHAT IS PHYSICAL SCIENCES?
Physical Sciences investigate physical and chemical phenomena. This is done through scientific inquiry, application
of scientific models, theories and laws in order to explain and predict events in the physical environment.
This subject also deals with society’s need to understand how the physical environment works in order to benefit from
it and responsibly care for it. All scientific and technological knowledge, including Indigenous Knowledge Systems
(IKS), is used to address challenges facing society. Indigenous knowledge is knowledge that communities have held,
used or are still using; this knowledge has been passed on through generations and has been a source of many
innovations and developments including scientific developments. Some concepts found in Indigenous Knowledge
Systems lend themselves to explanation using the scientific method while other concepts do not; this is still knowledge
however.
NOTE: Reference is made using the caps document ( the South African curriculum Document)

Arrhenius acids and bases
Arrhenius acid
A substance which produces H+/H3O+ ons in an aqueous solution.
e.g
• HCℓ → H+ + Cℓ-
• HCℓ + H2O → H3O+ + Cℓ-
Arrhenius base
A substance which produces OH- ons in an aqueous solution.
e.g
• NaOH → Na++ + OH-−
Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases
Bronsted-lowry Acid
A substance which donates a proton.
• HCℓ + H2O → H3O+ + Cℓ−
• NH4++ H2O → H3O+ + NH3
Bronsted-lowry Base
A substance which accepts a proton.
• OH- + H+ → H2O
• NH3 + H2O → OH- + NH4
Conjugate acids
When an acid donates a proton (H+), a conjugate base is produced.
• The acid and its conjugate base are called a conjugate acid-base pair.
Examples:
HCℓ ⇌ H+ + Cℓ-
Acid conjugate base
H2SO4 ⇌ H+ + HSO4-
acid conjugate base
Conjugate base
Vertical projectile motion
LESSON OBJECTIVES
•Introduction to vertical projectile motion
•Factors affecting vertical projectile motion.
•Velocity
•Acceleration vs displacement.
•Explanation when the object is dropped from rest
•Explanation when the object is thrown vertically upward
What is a projectile motion?
In simpler way when an object is projected either upward or downward, the only force acting on is gravity.
Factors affecting free falling objects
Objects that are projected either upward or downward do not encounter air resistance. This means that the air resistance is negligible.
All objects that are under a free fall on Earth accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8m/s2.
Velocity
- The magnitude and direction of velocity changes.
- When it is moving upward
- The magnitude decreases and its direction is upward.
- When it is moving down
- The magnitude increases and the direction is downward.
- At the top just as the object turns to go down the velocity becomes zero.
Equations of motion
Electric circuits
LESSON OBJECTIVES:
Ohms law
Revision of series circuits
Revision of parallel circuits
Internal resistance
Past examination papers
Ohms law
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
Series circuits
The defining characteristic of a series circuit is that there is only one path for current to flow.
Characteristics of series circuits
- Current: The amount of current is the same through any component in a series circuit.
- Resistance: The total resistance of any series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.
- Voltage: The supply voltage in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drop.
Parallel circuits
The basic idea of a “parallel” connection, on the other hand, is that all components are connected across each other’s leads.
Characteristics of the parallel circuits
- Voltage: Voltage is equal across all components in a parallel circuit.
- Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents.
- Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.
Examples
Electrochemical cells
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Introduction to electrochemistry
Vocabulary

Introducing Computer Science 6th Grade
Overview
This is an introductory lesson introducing what computer science is and what some of the topics are that we will cover in their Intro to CS and Web Design Course.
Computer Science Interests
Once students are in groups I will divide them into two groups based on their hobby or pass time. One group for computer science-related and the other for non-computer science-related.
After everyone is either in a computer science or non-computer science group, as the students why I grouped them this way.
I’m expecting them to make a connection to one half being technology-related and the other half non. I will ask probing questions to help them form the connection that these were developed or used using computer science in some way and the others were not.
I am expecting students to be shocked by the percentage of students that are around one group because of computer science.
Students- Stand up!
Find one or two people in the room that share a similar hobby or favorite pass time as you. Some examples might be video games, reading, instruments that you play, YouTube channels you watch/follow, sports that you play, etc.
Once you are in a group, quietly converse with one another by answering the following questions one at a time:
1. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
2. Would you rather eat pizza or tacos?
3. Would you rather read a book or run a mile?
4. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Once everyone is grouped, listen to the teacher as he/she will then start combining groups to make larger groups. Pay attention to which small groups are joined together.
The teacher will open the floor for suggestions about why he/she grouped them this way.
CS Video #1
Students will view this video and then answer the following questions:
Ask students:
“What surprised you about this video?”
“What might be a definition of computer science?”
Be ready to answer the following quesitons after viewing this video:
What surprised you about this video?
What might be a definition of computer science?
CS Video #2
Students will view this video and then answer the following questions:
Ask students:
“What surprised you about this video?”
“What might be a definition of computer science?”
Be ready to answer the following quesitons after viewing this video:
What surprised you about this video?
What might be a definition of computer science?
Gallery Walk
These are the articles I found for the current environment I will be teaching in. Feel free to adjust topics and articles based on your course priorities or as information becomes more updated.
When I say “move”, get into groups of 3 and pick one of the posters on the walls to move to. You will have 5 minutes to read the poster and summarize the key points. When the timer goes off, be ready to share your key points with the class.
How many people should be in each group?
What are you going to share with the class?
Go ahead and say move. On each wall in the classroom, I will have a short article posted explaining each of these 4 key topics.
-History of CS
-Problem Solving Process in Computers
-HTLM/CSS
-Programming
Once back in there seats, ask the following questions:
What are examples of frequently used tools or items that have been developed with computer science?
What do you think will happen to the future of computer science jobs and techniques?
I will explain that these are all computer science topics that we will explore in this course.
After the final rotation, ask students to go back to the seat.
Exit Ticket
Activity: To evaluate how well the students are understanding the topic (most specifically that Computer Science is not just coding/programming), I will pay attention to their key point observations from the gallery walk as well as their responses to the questions following the gallery walk.
As an exit ticket, I will ask students to come up with a brief definition of computer science and write it on a sticky note before they leave class. This will give me a more formal way to check what they took from the lesson.
Exit Ticket:
On a large sticky note (located on the counter in the back of the classroom), come up with a brief definition of computer science and write it (along with your student number) on a sticky note. Place your sticky note in the "Exit Ticket" folder before you leave class.

Overview
Books can make any one Bright...........start to read.
A good book is one of the finest things the world has to offer
Books are one of humanity's greatest acheivements. they enshine and spread knowledge across generations and frontiers. though most of them are (still) made of paper, books are powerful weapons. Regular readers have special gift for empathy, not only in their own minds, but also from an objevtive view point.In childrens, reading training not only improves the reading itself but also the exchange of signals between different parts of the brain
A book is like a best friend who will never walk away from until you get leave. you can laugh , admire , love with your book which make so energised. the person whove belive on books will not let him self down, he has the strongest suppor from Book.
one who need not to decide which books to read first. Ist not deciding , but is to start , making self to curious about unknown things it may be science, social, arts, literature...etc. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:11.151069 | 09/04/2020 | {

Fairy Tales and Other Stories (Interactive Lesson Plan)
Overview
Why work with faity tales when teaching English to children? ( Elementary Education)
Children learn vocabulary in English, but also internalize grammar and, above all, how sentences are formulated correctly. Through the English stories we read or hear, we can practice intonation, but also fluency in the language. And, like any other story (regardless of the language in which it is written), we encourage the habit of reading and creativity of the little ones.
Through this ILP the teacher seeks to stimulate and improve the listening, writting and reading comprehension skills of children.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/86428/overview | You too could serve in Congress one day!
Overview
This lesson allows students to delve into the life of a current or historical member of Congress. Biography can be a powerful too that can impact a person. The Members of Congress categories include: youngest, women, African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian/Pacific Islander Americans, former athletes, former entertainers and Independents/third party. Students should conduct research and then either write a report, give a presentation (or do both) as an assessment. The lesson provides names for each category, a sample rubric and recommended website resources for research.
Background
Above Photo: Members of the 117th Congress (2021). This was the most diverse freshmen class in congressional history. You could compare it with this photo from the new House members in 2010 and/or with this photo of a group of members from the 1920s. Upon comparing the photos, what has changed in 8 years? And in less than a 100 years?
This lesson is meant to inspire students to think about their future and know that American citizens are eligible to run for and serve in Congress.*
Many students may believe that only rich or well connected people can run for office. This lesson will look at the biographies of some members of Congress who are just ordinary American citizens who got elected to serve. Part of civics education should be about encouraging youth to get involved in politics and interested in potentially running for office when they become eligible.* We should strive to elect members of Congress who are knowledgeable about The Constitution and want to serve to help make our country better and sustainable for future generations. Students interested in an internship can apply to be a Senate Page while still in high school.
*According to Article I, Section II, Clause 2:
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
*According to Article I, Section III, Clause 3:
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Activities
Have students research and report on the life and work of a current member of Congress or one from history. Depending on grade-level and types of learners, you could have students write a paper, give a presentation or create a short film about their assigned or selected member. Here are some possibilities.

Objectives
This lesson allows students to learn more about an historical or current member of Congress. Many of the names listed were the first of a certain group to be elected to Congress or came from a non-traditional political background. By having students delve into the life and impact of a member of Congress, they may become inspired to get involved in politics now or down the road. While this lesson plan may not align to specific curriculum standards, it can be a great way to get students to read and write, and gain skills in creating and giving a class presentation.
Assessment
Depending on your age group, levels of ability and skills, there are several ways you could assess this lesson. It would be best to give students some time to conduct research and then either write a report or create a presentation about their assigned or self-selected member of Congress from the given lists.
Sample Rubric:
- Presentation was clear and concise, with few or no typos.
- Presentation was interesting and informative.
- Presentation lasted 5-10 minutes.
- Provided information about the member of Congress' life, education, work experience, election(s) and any legislation they wrote or were part of while serving in Congress.
- Bibliography/Works Cited at the end was properly formatted (MLA or other style) with a minimum of 2-3 sources consulted and used.
- EXTRA CREDIT OR DIFFERENTIATION: Created a video or digital documentary that was creative and included images of the person and time period in which they live(d).
You could also include having to submit notes from research (hand written or typed). If you want stuents to write a report in addition to or instead of the presentation, consider what you expect them to include and how long it should be. Some of the members of Congress listed did not serve for long and it may be challenging to get more than 2-3 pages written about them.
Resources
The following are great resources that students should use for their research.

Overview
The cellular microenvironment, characterized by an extracellular matrix (ECM), played an essential role in the transition from unicellularity to multicellularity in animals (metazoans), and in the subsequent evolution of diverse animal tissues and organs.
collagen
COLLAGEN
The extracellular matrix (ECM) played an essential role during the transition from unicellular organisms to multicellular animals (metazoans). The ECM comprises a basement membrane (BM) that underlies epithelia cells, and an interstitial matrix (IM) that is positioned between cells in the intercellular spaces and undergoes continuous controlled remodeling (Hynes, 2012; Bonnans et al., 2014; Nelson and Bissell, 2006; Inman et al., 2015). Yet, a major gap in cell biology is to understand how cells generate and interact with the ECM (Sherwood, 2015; Jayadev and Sherwood, 2017).
The collagen superfamily of proteins is a major component of ECMs, which – in vertebrates – comprises 28 types (I–XXVIII) that are derived from a total of 46 α-chains across the superfamily (Fig. 1) (Ricard-Blum, 2011; Kadler et al., 2007; Ricard-Blum and Ruggiero, 2005). Invertebrates generally contain collagen IV, XV or XVIII, some fibrillar collagens, as well as some fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACITs) (Fidler et al., 2014, 2017; Fahey and Degnan, 2010; Meyer and Moussian, 2009; Boot-Handford and Tuckwell, 2003; Whittaker et al., 2006; Kadler et al., 2007). Among these collagens, type IV is the evolutionarily most ancient, based on recent studies of non-bilaterian animals (sponges, ctenophores, placozoans and cnidarians) and unicellular groups (Fidler et al., 2017; Grau-Bove et al., 2017)
Collagens are the most abundant protein in the human body (Kadler et al., 2007; Shoulders and Raines, 2009). They occur as diverse supramolecular assemblies, ranging from networks to fibrils, and broadly function in structural, mechanical and organizational roles that define tissue architecture and influence cellular behavior (Shoulders and Raines, 2009; Ricard-Blum, 2011; Ricard-Blum and Ruggiero, 2005). Defects in collagens underlie the cause of almost 40 human genetic diseases, affecting numerous organs and tissues in millions of people worldwide. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:11.383511 | Student Guide | {

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/102565/overview | QUANTUM MECHANICS
Overview
In this brief introduction about quantum mechanics, I have mentioned some of the astonishing facts about the versatile theory till date.
QUANTUM MECHANICS
Introduction:
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behaviour of particles on the atomic and subatomic level. The principles of quantum mechanics were first proposed in the early 20th century and have since become one of the most important and widely used theories in modern physics. In this document, we will discuss the key principles of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, the Schrödinger equation, and quantum entanglement.
Wave-Particle Duality:
One of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality, which states that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behaviour. This means that particles, such as electrons and photons, can behave like waves and exhibit interference patterns, as well as behave like particles and exhibit discrete energy levels. The wave-like behaviour of particles is described by their wave function, which represents the probability of finding the particle in a particular location at a particular time.
Uncertainty Principle:
Another key principle of quantum mechanics is the uncertainty principle, which states that the more precisely the position of a particle is known, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. This principle is a consequence of the wave-particle duality, and it places a fundamental limit on the precision with which we can measure the properties of particles on the atomic and subatomic level.
Schrödinger Equation:
The Schrödinger equation is the fundamental equation of quantum mechanics, which describes the behaviour of particles on the atomic and subatomic level. The equation is a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of the wave function of a particle. The Schrödinger equation is used to calculate the probability of finding a particle in a particular location at a particular time, and it can be used to calculate the energy levels of atoms and molecules.
Quantum tunnelling:
Quantum mechanics differs from classical physics in this aspect where it proves that in order to cross a potential barrier which is of greater energy than the particle energy, particle need not jump instead tunnel through the barrier.
Quantum Entanglement:
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two particles can become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other particle, even if they are separated by a large distance. This phenomenon is a consequence of the wave-like behaviour of particles and has been demonstrated experimentally in many different systems. Quantum entanglement is the basis of many quantum technologies, including quantum cryptography and quantum computing.
Applications of Quantum Mechanics:
Quantum mechanics has many important applications in modern physics and technology. Some of the most important applications of quantum mechanics include:
Atomic and Molecular Physics: Quantum mechanics is used to study the behaviour of atoms and molecules on the atomic and subatomic level. It is used to calculate the energy levels of atoms and molecules, and to predict the behaviour of chemical reactions.
Quantum Computing: Quantum mechanics is the basis of quantum computing, which is a new type of computing that uses quantum systems to perform calculations. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many fields, including cryptography, materials science, and drug design.
Quantum Cryptography: Quantum mechanics is used in quantum cryptography, which is a new type of cryptography that is based on the principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum cryptography provides a new level of security for data communication, and it is currently being developed for use in financial transactions and other applications.
Quantum Teleportation: Quantum mechanics is used in quantum teleportation, which is a process where the state of one particle can be transferred to another particle, even if they are separated by a large distance. Quantum teleportation has the potential to revolutionize communication and computing, and it is currently being developed for use in secure communication networks. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:11.419305 | 04/03/2023 | {

Introductory Jumproping
Overview
This is an introductory jumproping lesson for grades K-2. It includes a breakdown of what jumproping is, an individual practice, as well as a group game. This lesson focuses on the benefits of jumproping and why it is a good exercise.
Opening
- It is helpful to use a jumprope that has different colors to show the different parts of the jumprope. For example, a yellow handle, and red rope. This makes it easier for the students to differentate the two.
1. Watch the introductory video.
2. Introduce the jumprope by labeling the different parts of it (handle and rope) as well as their purposes.
3. Give a quick overview of the process of jumproping.
Individual Practice
- Some students may feel frustrated because they are not getting it as fast as others. Make sure you are walking around helping those who seem to need more help.
1. After all students have gotten their jumprope, allow them to practice for about 5 minutes.
2. If students are doing well, encourage them to try different jumps (1 foot, switching).
Group Game
1) Put the students into groups of 3-4 students per group.
2) Introduce game rules:
- 1 at a time, students will try to make 3 jumps in a row without failing. If they complete the task, they get 1 point.
- If they do not make the 3 jumps in a row, their turn is over and it is the next student's turn.
- Whoever has the most points at the end of the time wins.
3) Set a timer for 3 minutes.
4) Begin the game and after they finish, repeat 2-3 more times.
Closing
Here you are really focusing why jumproping is good for a person's health. Not only is it fun, but there are many benefits. Ask students to think about and come up with some reasons of their own!
1. Have students put away jumpropes in the bin.
2. Call students back and ask the following questions:
- What was the most difficult part of jumproping?
- Do you enjoy jumproping?
- What do you think are the benefits of jumproping?
3. Talk about the benefits of jumproping and why it is a fun exercise.

This lesson focuses on supporting and mentoring students in grades 10-12 specifically, using aspects of gamification to structure the content presented.
Lesson 1: Supporting Students
This lesson plan focuses on supporting students from grade 10 to grade 12, working to build better connections between students, staff, and the overall school community for students to feel comfortable relying on those around them (specifically in an educational setting). Utilizing the concept of gamification, this plan presents the content to students and teachers in multiple mediums of PowerPoint slides, videos, and group/individual work. Furthermore, it gains the attention of students and works to have students think back to prior issues addressed when presented with a questionnaire to get their (anonymous) feedback on not only the lesson and content, but the concept as a whole; getting their perspectives as the people who are being addressed in the lesson plan. Targeting the overall school yet abiding by the Alberta Program of Studies website, this lesson plan works to put the students first so they can focus on their education and selfbetterment.
Lesson 2: Mentoring Students
The second lesson builds off of the first section on supporting students and utilizes the Alberta Program of Studies guide in looking at ways to mentor students and cultivate mentoring relationships in the student community; specific to grades 10-12. Focusing on helping students feel better connected with the community and those in it, the gamification tools use a mixed media of slide shows, videos, live guest speakers, and take home journal activities, as well as the potential to have students and even teachers participate in an actual mentoring ship program with those in the school community. The lesson also provides a website for those interested in taking mentoring programs to the next level. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:11.577076 | Homework/Assignment | {

- Understanding students’ different levels of ICT competencies and implementing strategies to manage differences as students progress
- Creating learning situations such that students manage their own learning (p. 34)
Opening
Give students enough time to watch the videos.
As these are short videos, the opinions don't need to be more than 3 minutes.
The purpose of the game is to see how much students understand the topic presented, to see how much information they were able to retain about the videos.
Ask the students if they were able to understand all the words in the vocabulary flashcards.
Watch the two following videos (climate change; What is the greenhouse effect?):
After watching the videos,
Give your opinion about the topics that were explained in the videos.
Play the game (Who wants to be a millionaire)
Then, check the vocabulary flashcards to have a better understanding of the topic.
Grammar Lesson
Once you have guided the warminig-up... let students be ready for the grammar lesson and try not to loose their atention and interest.
Genially Presentation
The lesson begins with the infinitive verbs composition. Take advantage of the audios provided in the slides and ask the students to repeat the sentences. You can also ask them to write each of them, so they can internalized the sentence structure and improve their listening competence.
Afterwards, teach the gerund verbs composition. It is quite useful to provide students with different examples and extra-activities.
Finally, present the video "How to use gerunds and infinitives
Then, conclude by asking students for comments or doubts. If there is a missconception about the topic, give a clearer explanation and continue to practice.
Working time

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/78473/overview | Brain-Based Lesson: Polymers
Overview
The concept of polymers is taught after students have learned about atoms and molecules. We first build up the background knowledge of the Periodic Table of Elements and the structure of an atom, then begin to combine atoms to create molecules. We create models of atoms and molecules, allowing students to visualize what is normally unable to be seen (a Science and Engineering Practice). Students learn that the way we combine atoms (structure) and the atoms we use (composition) impact the properties that a substance will have. After some time, we begin to introduce that we can combine molecules together in similar ways that we combine atoms. These repeating patterns of molecules are called polymers. Which is where this lesson falls. This is their instruction into what a polymer is, its naming conventions, and how depending on the molecule used, we can create synthetic materials that have specific properties that suit our needs.

Brain-based Strategies Used in the Lesson:
| Formative or Summative Assessments:Formative assessment includes asking probing questions during our Active Learning Session, watching students complete the challenge after modeling what they have learned, and looking at their completed models of the polymer structure of a balloon. The models can also be collected and graded as summative assessment to determine their understanding of modeling in science and their understanding of polymers. | ||

| 20Mins | Introduction: Setting the StageAs the students enter the class, there are some materials on their desks in front of them. (Students know not to bother any materials until proper safety and instructional guidelines are explained) Once the students are seated, I grab a balloon (dipped in vegetable oil) and ask them what would happen if I were to poke the balloon with the bamboo skewer. Students state that it will pop or deflate instantly and with humor and grandiose nature I stab the skewer into the balloon popping it instantly. I then grab another balloon and ask the students if I should try again. (They obviously say yes) I take the skewer, dip it in oil and strategically place it while pushing and twisting until the skewer goes through the balloon. I then ask them the question which is the phenomena of study: “How is it possible to put a sharpened stick into a balloon without popping it?” The students are then asked to generate questions and record observations of what they saw. In small groups they are able to discuss questions and observations and to begin thinking about how they would go about completing this task. They are able to brainstorm a procedure or generate questions they want to test. (all Science and Engineering Practices that are apart of the Next Generation Science Standards Curriculum for 3-Dimensional Learning)We then take a moment to discuss safety, which can be either wholly teacher-led or allowing time for a class discussion on best safety practices and equipment for this activity. (I prefer the teacher-led as it allows me to emphasize safety while also getting to make a few jokes about the “bamboo death skewers of science” and if not held tightly while inserting into a balloon, “FLYING bamboo death skewers of science.”) I then ask the students to give this a try and begin trying to recreate what I did in front of them. . . hands on engagement activity. . . loud popping noises ensue. | ||
| 15 Mins. | Introduce New Information: ContentOur desks are then moved to the outside edge of the classroom and we gathered in the center of the room to start our content instruction where they learned the academic vocabulary needed to understand this phenomenon. We used root words to break down the meaning of a polymer and mixed in with a few jokes here and there, they learned that balloons were made of repeating groups of molecules bonded together called polymers.I ask the students to then get into groups of trimers and to connect all the class together by holding on to the middle of other trimers until no hands are free. This creates a jumbled web of students in the middle of the classroom. I then proceed to tell them they have created a balloon and must act accordingly. I begin to act like I am blowing air into them, and they (eventually) realize that they are to spread out. I proceed to move through the lesson myself acting as the bamboo skewer cutting through the balloon at different points showing how depending on where we place the skewer, the balloon may pop or stay inflated due to the number of molecules in that area that are not under stress from being inflated. I then send the students back to their desks to determine where those areas are on an inflated balloon, and to draw a model of what we would see in those areas compared to the other places with less molecules. | ||
| 10 Mins | Hands-on Activity Steps: (Prepare ways for students to practice the new information.)Students then get a balloon and draw multiple dots all over the balloon with a sharpie then proceed to inflate it. They notice that depending on the location of the dots, they will expand to vary degrees, with some expanding a lot and some not at all. They are then able to use their skewer to puncture the balloon in the locations not under stress to finally accomplish skewering their balloon (formative assessment). | ||
| 15 Mins. | Feedback: Instructor feedback?The students are then required to use their iPads to create a model using images and markup tools to show where the balloon is able to be punctured and provide insight as to why. Students practice their modeling skills to allow them to visualize what is not able to normally be seen with just their eyes. Models allow them to observe the unobservable at a scale that is too small to see but able to be observed at the macro scale (Crosscutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity). | ||

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/73364/overview | Rock Cycle Lesson
Overview
The three types of rocks and how they become each through the rock cycle.
Rock types
There are different types of rocks found on Earth. These types are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
Differences
Sedimentary- these rocks form from small particles over time. They may contain fossils, minerals, or other matter.
Metamorphic- metamorph means to change in form. These rocks form by heat and pressure from the Earth.
Igneous- These rocks are the result of cooled lava. They are often a dark color from the fire or heat.
Rock Cylce
All of these types of rocks can be formed from each other over time.
If a volcano errupts, the lava will run down and harden into rock as it cools. This rock will eventually break down into particles and can come back together with new particles. This will form a sedimentary rock. From there, this rock can be burried in the ground. With built up pressure and heat, it will turn into a metamorphic rock.

Two Truths and a Lie in Media Literacy
I have created two truths and one lie on this media platform and I need you to choose which one is a lie. Next it will be your turn to make two truths and a lie.
I am placing you into small groups to work together creating two truths and a lie about the media. You can make a blog post, a photo, a video, an animation, or a podcast. Your group has freedom to choose what type of media you are going to use.
Two rules:
- The artifacts you create are to be shared only within a private class forum (and if using videos, podcasts or blog posts uploaded elsewhere, they are to be marked private), so as not to spread misinformation.
- No artifacts are to be made that are hurtful or about people, in or outside of this class.
Each group will submit to the class forum under their group number.
Once each group has submitted their two truths and a lie the entire class will try to guess each group's lie. It will be a group effort. We will see if you can stump your classmates. Let’s see how subtle you can make a lie. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:11.774487 | 04/18/2022 | {

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/105798/overview | THE LEARNOPIA MODEL
Overview
In order to satisfy the changing demands of students in the digital age, 21st century education research focuses on investigating novel and successful teaching methodologies, educational technologies, and pedagogical approaches. Researchers look into the effects of using technology in the classroom, the success of project-based learning, the improvement of students' ability to think critically and solve problems, and the significance of social-emotional learning. They also look at how teachers might act as mentors and guides in classrooms that are student-centered. They seek to identify best practices and evidence-based approaches that equip teachers to design motivating and significant learning experiences that prepare students for the opportunities and challenges of the twenty-first century.

A Proposed Schema of 21st Century Skills Flexible Learning Approach

PART 1: INTRODUCTION
Teachers faced problems after the epidemic, such as adjusting to remote and hybrid teaching techniques, resolving learning gaps, and successfully managing technology (UNESCO, 2020). Students, on the other hand, have struggled with disturbed learning habits, social-emotional well-being, and access to resources and assistance (OECD, 2020). Teachers frequently have difficulties in establishing effective online teaching practices, engaging students in virtual classrooms, offering customized attention and feedback, and addressing varied learning requirements (UNESCO, 2020; OECD, 2021). Furthermore, they may need to modify instructional materials and evaluations to accommodate remote or mixed learning contexts while guaranteeing equal access to education (UNESCO, 2020). However, based on current trends, teachers may confront difficulties adjusting to hybrid or remote teaching techniques, resolving learning gaps, successfully managing technology, and fostering student involvement (UNESCO, 2020). Teachers may face issues in the future relating to emerging educational technology, integrating digital resources, and guaranteeing fair access to education (OECD, 2021). One effective strategy for addressing challenges in technology-driven flexible teaching and learning is the use of a blended learning approach that combines online and in-person instruction, allowing for personalized learning experiences, collaborative activities, and the incorporation of digital tools and resources (OECD, 2021). This strategy has been shown to increase student engagement, encourage active learning, and give chances for both autonomous and collaborative learning (Hew & Brush, 2007).

PART 3 : Discuss each aspect of your model
THE LEARNOPIA MODEL
Flexibility, or the ability to shift and respond effectively to changing events and settings, is an essential 21st-century talent. Because everyone has various learning styles, skills, and problems, it is critical to teach flexibility to meet the requirements of different learners. Adapting teaching tactics to fit with learners' qualities and preferences has been proven in research to boost engagement, motivation, and learning results (Artino, 2012; Hughes et al., 2018). Learner-centered methods, active learning, and individualized instruction are all important considerations when choosing teaching ideas. According to research, adding ideas like cognitive load theory, social constructivism, and universal design for learning can boost student engagement, increase deep comprehension, and meet the requirements of various learners (Sweller, 2019; CAST, 2018).
To fulfill the varying requirements of students, the flexible teaching method uses a range of instructional tactics, such as differentiated instruction, active learning, and technology integration (Keengwe, Onchwari, & Wachira, 2014). According to Tomlinson and Imbeau (2010), this method increases overall learning results, fosters student motivation, and enables tailored learning experiences. Flexible teaching is an appropriate method for delivering education since research shows that it is helpful in fostering student involvement and accomplishment (Keengwe, Onchwari, & Wachira, 2014; Tomlinson & Imbeau, 2010). I used a variety of digital resources, including interactive presentation tools like Prezi, collaboration platforms like Google Docs, and online assessment tools like Kahoot, to deliver lessons in an effective manner. The SAMR paradigm, which enables the modification and redefining of conventional instructional procedures, was used to guide the selection of these resources (Puentedura, 2006). By promoting active engagement, collaborative learning, and tailored experiences that are appropriate for a variety of learners and improve learning outcomes, the integration of these technologies is consistent with constructivist learning theory (Means et al., 2010). With the use of digital tools/apps/sites like Flipgrid, Google Classroom, and Open Educational Resources (OERs) from platforms like OER Commons, I used approaches for flexible learning like flipped learning, collaborative group work, and self-paced modules. As it encourages active participation, individualized learning experiences, and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, this combination is suitable for students (Mazur, 1997; Spector, 2014). Research shows how these methods and resources can improve students' learning results and promote deeper comprehension (Hew & Cheung, 2013; Wanner & Palmer, 2015).
My digital assessment method combines diagnostic, formative, and summative tests administered online using tools like Google Forms, Quizizz, and LMS-based tests. This strategy is appropriate because it provides data-driven education to assist student learning and achievement, encourages active student engagement, and allows for rapid feedback (Black & Wiliam, 1998; Nicol & Macfarlane-Dick, 2006). According to research, using digital assessments effectively improves student learning outcomes and provide useful information for instructional design (DeBacker & Nelson, 1999; Webb, 2009). As a result it enables transformative and cutting-edge educational experiences, the Modification and Redefinition (MR) levels of the SAMR model are an appropriate way to assess student learning when employing appropriate digital tools, applications, and websites. Education professionals can give students opportunity for higher-order thinking, creativity, and authentic learning experiences by utilizing technological tools and platforms that go beyond simple substitution or augmentation (Puentedura, 2006). According to research, incorporating technology at the MR levels of SAMR can enhance student motivation, engagement, and achievement (Ottenbreit-Leftwich et al., 2010; Schrum & Levin, 2009).

Who Wants to be a Millionaire - Present Simple
PRESENT SIMPLE INTERACTIVE LESSON PLAN
Overview
This is an interactive plan created to encourage the teaching of English, more specifically the present simple for sixth grade youth. The lesson shows you a overview from the present simple, talking about the ways of using it and giving the student some interactive activities for him to practice
What is the Present Simple?
The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the
simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when
it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes
called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple
present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es
to the end.
Here’s a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Make sure to review again your answers so you can make sure you don´t have any misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on your writing exercises
Examples interrogative sentences
Some present simple examples are:
Present Simple Questions
We use do and does to make questions with the present simple. We use does for the third person singular (she/he/it) and do for the others.
We use do and does with question words like where, what and when:
- Where do Angela and Rita live?
- What does Angela do?
- When does Rita usually get up?
Examples negative sentences
Present simple negatives
We use do and does to make negatives with the present simple. We use doesn't for the third person singular (she/he/it) and don't for the others.
Look at these sentences:
- I like tennis but I don't like football. (don't = do not)
- I don't live in London now.
- I don't play the piano but I play the guitar.
- They don't work at the weekend.
- John doesn't live in Manchester. (doesn't = does not)
- Angela doesn't drive to work. She goes by bus.
When to use it
Present simple and present time
We use the present simple to talk about:
- something that is true in the present:
I'm nineteen years old.
I'm a student.
He lives in London.
- something that happens regularly in the present:
I play football every weekend.
- something that is always true:
The human body contains 206 bones.
Light travels at almost 300,000 kilometres per second.
We often use adverbs of frequency like sometimes, always and never with the present simple:
I sometimes go to the cinema.
She never plays football.
Interactive Games

Professor/ Machine Technology Department
San Jose City College
Summary:
CMM introduction class
Learning Outcomes
- Define what a CMM is
- Review the history of the CMM.
- Comprehend the types of most CMMs.
- Describe some types of software used in CMMs.
- Discuss the use of coordinate measurement machines in the industry.
Define what a CMM is
A coordinate Measuring Machine, also recognized as a CMM, is a piece of apparatus that measures the dimensions of geometrical objects. CMMs use a very sensitive probing system to make contact with points on the surfaces of geometrical objects. A stylus (plural: styli) is the “tip” attached to the probing system on a coordinate measuring machine.
.
History of the CMM.
The first CMM was built by the Ferranti Company of Scotland around 1950s.
There was a need to measure precision mechanisms in the military products this company fabricated. This machine only had only 2 axes.
Types of most CMMs.
Manufactures offer four elementary types of coordinate measuring machines that offer specific benefits depending on the mechanisms being measured.
- Bridge type
- Cantilever type
- Gantry type
- Horizontal arm type
Describe some types of software used in CMMs.
- PC-DMIS CMM is one the world's leading coordinate measurement machine (CMM) Software.
- Mitutoyo MCOSMOS 2D and 3D coordinate measuring machine software helps achieve measuring activities rapidly and simply. MCOSMOS software is easy to operate from entry level to experts.
- Zeiss CALYPSO measures geometrical components simply, rapidly and dependably.
Discuss the use of coordinate measurement machines in the industry.
CMMs have been used in many industries to measure components of all forms and dimensions. Widely used for inspecting parts in automotive, aerospace, aviation, and in medical and biotechnology fields. Coordinate Measuring Machines are indispensable for guaranteeing reliable, precise dimensions in order to comply with ISO requirements.

Overview
This Canvas module is an active learning step-by-step tutorial on solving a Hardy-Weinberg problem. In the tutorial, students take two quizzes (one at the beginning and one at the end) and a scaffolded activity.
Hardy_Weinberg Tutorial (via Canvas LMS)
This Canvas module is an active learning step-by-step tutorial on solving a Hardy-Weinberg problem. In the tutorial, students take two quizzes (one at the beginning and one at the end) and a scaffolded activity. The problem is based on the following scenario.
Scenario: In a population of 1150 frogs in which the striped morphology is dominant to solid color (non-striped morphology), 225 are solid colored.
As students work through the activity, they are required to identify (perform) each step and are given choices to select the correct steps. Incorrect selections provide feedback to guide the student to the correct step. Correct selections explain why the step is correct.
There are two tutorial choices based on the instructor's preference. The first focuses on finding the values of the allele frequencies and genotypic frequencies. The second contains an additional component in which students use the chi-square test to determine if the population is equilibrium.
Below are the links to the tutorials. It is recommended that the instructor import the module to a Canvas sandbox before incorporating into a course.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/84095/overview | In Class Activity or Online Discussion: Gilgamesh Literary Quick Take
Overview
The literary quick takes are weekly discussions and in-class activities that I use to frame the text for the students. This is formative and graded based on engagement.
Literary Quick Takes
I use this for group discussion in both online and in-class formats. It is intended to allow students to explore the meaning of the text in relation to themselves and to engage in meaningful discussion with peers.
Gilgamesh is the quintessential hero; he the first recorded hero, and he is also the prototype for not only Joseph Campbell’s Heroic Journey, but also Ernest Becker’s Heroic Systems; it is also obvious how these theories apply once we consider it.
Please watch this breakdown of the Heroic Journey:
Do you have a favorite show, film, book, comic, etc., that is the perfect example of the Heroic Journey?
Please outline it using these steps from the lecture:
The first part, the Departure, includes the following stages:
- The Status Quo
- The Call to Adventure
- Assistance
- Departure
The second part, the Initiation, includes the following stages:
- Trials
- Approach to the Innermost Cave
- Crisis
- Treasure
- Result
The third part, the Return, includes the following stages:
- Return
- Resurrection
This breakdown can be brief (one or two complete sentences per “part”). Finally, please consider the values, or the “heroic systems”, that underly your heroic journey. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:11.938350 | 07/22/2021 | {

LEADERSHIP THEORY, STYLES & TYPES OF LEADERS

Leadership is one of the most studied aspects of group communication. Scholars in business, communication, psychology, and many other fields have written extensively about the qualities of leaders, theories of leadership, and how to build leadership skills. It’s important to point out that although a group may have only one official leader, other group members play important leadership roles. Making this distinction also helps us differentiate between leaders and leadership.Owen Hargie, Skilled Interpersonal Interaction: Research, Theory, and Practice (London: Routledge, 2011), 456. The leader is a group role that is associated with a high-status position and may be formally or informally recognized by group members. Leadership is a complex of beliefs, communication patterns, and behaviors that influence the functioning of a group and move a group toward the completion of its task. A person in the role of leader may provide no or poor leadership. Likewise, a person who is not recognized as a “leader” in title can provide excellent leadership. In the remainder of this section, we will discuss some approaches to the study of leadership, leadership styles, and leadership and group dynamics.
Why and How People Become Leaders
Throughout human history, some people have grown into, taken, or been given positions as leaders. Many early leaders were believed to be divine in some way. In some indigenous cultures, shamans are considered leaders because they are believed to be bridges that can connect the spiritual and physical realms. Many early kings, queens, and military leaders were said to be approved by a god to lead the people. Today, many leaders are elected or appointed to positions of power, but most of them have already accumulated much experience in leadership roles. Some leaders are well respected, some are feared, some are hated, and many elicit some combination of these reactions. This brief overview illustrates the centrality of leadership throughout human history, but it wasn’t until the last hundred years that leadership became an object of systematic study.
Before we move onto specific approaches to studying leadership, let’s distinguish between designated and emergent leaders. In general, some people gravitate more toward leadership roles than others, and some leaders are designated while other are emergent.Owen Hargie, Skilled Interpersonal Interaction: Research, Theory, and Practice (London: Routledge, 2011), 456. Designated leaders officially recognized in their leadership role and may be appointed or elected by people inside or outside the group. Designated leaders can be especially successful when they are sought out by others to fulfill and are then accepted in leadership roles. On the other hand, some people seek out leadership positions not because they possess leadership skills and have been successful leaders in the past but because they have a drive to hold and wield power. Many groups are initially leaderless and must either designate a leader or wait for one to emerge organically. Emergent leaders gain status and respect through engagement with the group and its task and are turned to by others as a resource when leadership is needed. Emergent leaders may play an important role when a designated leader unexpectedly leaves. We will now turn our attention to three common perspectives on why some people are more likely to be designated leaders than others and how leaders emerge in the absence of or in addition to a designated leader.
A group leader may be formally designated by someone inside or outside the group or may emerge naturally during early group meetings.

People have studied leadership since ancient times, and theories of leadership have been around for centuries (Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, etc.); however, it wasn't until the 20th century that the modern theories began to take shape. Today, researchers study leadership the same way that they study other aspects of psychology: they seek to get a better understanding of people's behavior and motivation.
The problem with some of these theories is that they tend to contradict instead of complementing each other. They seek to identify one set of rules or behaviors that turns someone into a leader. The reality is likely a combination of all the theories and some ideas that have yet to be defined. It is best to study these theories with an open mind and understand that they each have their own merits. Remember that emphasis should not be placed on any one theory.

Styles and Types of Leaders
Over time, every manager refines his or her own leadership style, or way of interacting with and influencing others. Despite a vast range of personal differences, leadership styles tend to reflect one of the following approaches to leading and motivating people: the autocratic, the democratic (also known as participative), or the free rein.
Autocratic style. Managers who have developed an autocratic leadership style tend to make decisions without soliciting input from subordinates. They exercise authority and expect subordinates to take responsibility for performing the required tasks without undue explanation.
Democratic style. Managers who favor a democratic leadership style generally seek input from subordinates while retaining the authority to make the final decisions. They are also more likely to keep subordinates informed about things that affect their work.
Free-rein style. In practicing a free rein leadership style, managers adopt a “hands-off” approach and provide relatively little direction to subordinates. They may advise employees but usually give them considerable freedom to solve problems and make decisions on their own. At first glance, you’d probably not want to work for an autocratic leader. After all, most people don’t like to be told what to do without having any input. Many like the idea of working for a democratic leader; it’s flattering to be asked for your input. And though working in a free rein environment might seem a little unsettling at first, the opportunity to make your own decisions is appealing to many people. Each leadership style can be appropriate in certain situations. (Skripak) Chapter 7 Download this book for free at: 171 http://hdl.handle.net/10919/70961

Types and Styles of Leadership
There are many types and styles of leadership. Here are four types of leadership with descriptions:
Transformational Leaders:
Try to act as a mentor or coach to followers
Consider and focus on the individuals’ needs
Encourages creativity
Inspire others to have a common vision
Encourage them to work towards shared vision
Encourage personal development and progress
Brings about learning innovation and change
Transactional Leaders:
Have a system of clear responsibilities and rewards
If person puts in lots of effort/does a good job, reward provided
Links goals with rewards
Have a system of discipline/punishment (not necessarily said aloud)
Make sure followers know what their responsibilities are
Monitor performance and take action to correct things when needed
Examples: “If you do this, you’ll get a raise.” “If you don’t do this, you’ll be fired.”
Charismatic Leaders:
Can inspire and direct others using a common vision and values and they pay attention to people they are talking to; the person feels like they are the most important person at that time. Charismatic leaders will distinguish the group from others & and separate it as the best/superior group in the minds of followers.
Charismatic Leaders will firmly attach themselves to the group identity, creating an unchallengeable position of loyalty, enthusiasm, and high levels of performance
Characteristics: Self-confident, vision, strong communication skills, behavior is out of ordinary
Examples: Hitler, and Martin Luther King Jr.
Servant Leaders:
Are servants first, then choose to lead, they usually start off doing things for the group and eventually are directed towards a leadership position, as they become important to group. They wants others to be involved in decision making. They serve those they lead
Examples:
Gandhi

One of two key strengths that leaders need to possess are to be able to collaborate and negotiate, both within themselves and also in pulling together their personnel to do the same. In the next module, we will touch on collaboration and negotiation.

COLLABORATION AND NEGOTIATION
|
What is collaboration?
A collaborative team is a slighty different version of a traditional team because its members have different skill sets. That holds the importance of collaboration. As importnat is collaboration, the teamwork holds the same. Teamwork is the joint action of people working toward the same end goal.
Collaboration Skills in the Workplace
Improve your self-awareness
Resource management
Collaboration tools
Create a learning experience
Encourage innovation
Soft skills
Addressing problems
Forgiving the mistakes
Live by purpose
Tom Wujec presents some surprisingly deep research into the "marshmallow problem" -- a simple team-building exercise that involves dry spaghetti, one yard of tape and a marshmallow. Who can build the tallest tower with these ingredients? And why does a surprising group always beat the average?
What is negotiation?
Negotiation is a process where two parties settle their differences. They do this process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute. In any disagreement, individuals understandably aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position (or perhaps an organization they represent).
Expressions of Negotiation
The following list outlines some situations and phrases that can be used to more effectively work through and negotiate various situations in the business world.
WELCOMING: These phrases are used when welcoming people into the company or at the beginning of a meeting.
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to …
I would like to welcome you to …
Is this your first visit to …?
SCHEDULE AND AGENDA: These phrases are used to point out the topics or times of the meetings.
I would like now to begin by suggesting the following agenda.
To start with, I think we should establish the overall procedure
PROPOSALS: These phrases are used during a meeting to propose and reach agreements for the things that need to be done.
We’d like to propose / suggest that …
Regarding your proposal, our position is …
How do you feel about …
Perhaps a better idea would be …
May we offer an alternative? We propose that …
What exactly do you mean by …?
I’m not sure I fully understand your point.
Could you be more specific?
This agreement is acceptable to us.
I think we have reached an agreement here.
That sounds reasonable.
I think we have a deal.
I believe we have an agreement.
I can agree to that.
We are ready to accept your offer; however, there would be one condition.
AGREEING: These phrases are used to accept the ideas and/or proposals of others during a meeting or bussiness conversation.
I think we can both agree that…
I agree with you on that point.
OBJECTING: These phrases are used to reject or deny the ideas and/or proposals of others during a meeting or bussiness conversation.
If you look at it from my point of view…
From my perspective…
I’m afraid we couldn’t agree to that…
The reason for that is …
This is because …
CONCLUDING: These phrases are used when finishing a meeting or bussiness conversation as a form of conclusion.
I think you’ve covered everything.
Let’s just confirm the details, then.
Have I left anything out?
William Ury, author of "Getting to Yes," offers an elegant, simple (but not easy) way to create agreement in even the most difficult situations -- from family conflict to, perhaps, the Middle East.
Some challenges that can cause collaboration and negotiation to be difficult within groups and/or organizations, is the struggle of power and ongoing conflict. These will be touched on in our next module.

Power/Conflict and Hidden Power
| "File:Thoughts, feelings and behaviour.svg" by Si Brown is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 |
Introduction
Power is a popular topic because it is something that is very easily misused. Power can be earned in a promotion within the organization or just a reflection of knowledge. There is nothing wrong with using your power appropriately. People can sometimes link power with evil or being corrupt, but it is a fact of organizational life. When it comes to leadership it can be used to benefit others or to constrain them.
Six Type of Power
Legitimate Power: This can also be called positional power. This is the power individuals have from obtaining their role and status within an organization.
Referent Power: This power comes from the ability of individuals to attract other and to help build loyalty. It is based on the personality and interpersonal skills of the power holder.
Expert Power: This draws from a person’s knowledge and skills and is very strong when an organization has a need for them.
Reward Power: This comes from the ability to confer valued material rewards or create other positive incentives. This can include things such as promotions, increases in pay or extra time off.
Coercive Power: This is the treat and application of sanctions and other negative consequences. This can include direct punishment and relies on fear.
Information Power: This power comes from the access to facts and knowledge that others find useful or helpful. This can sometimes be used to build credibility and rational persuasion.
All of these sources of power can be used individually or can be combined to achieve the end goal. The more sources of power that one has access to, the greater the overall power to get things done.
These types of power vary depending on the person trying to use them. Depending on your style it can be different. Interpersonally oriented people may use softer tactics whereas extroverts tend to use more of a variety of tactics.
To be able to better manage power conflict, we will address the specific power dyamics that makes up a leader and members on a team and/or in an organization, in the next module.

Power Dynamics
Power DynamicsWhen you search power dynamics the term comes back with very broad results. In this section I will focus on the power dynamic of leaders and also within a group or team. I will also touch on cultural power dynamics of groups and how to successfully and effectively work in a group with others of different backgrounds.. A "power dynamic" is the way different people or different groups of people interact with each other and where one of these sides is more powerful than the other one. Definition work team. The definition of an effective work team in this ProfEd is as follows: “A team consisting of three or more people who collectively work towards a common goal through coordinated efforts. Their complementing skills lead to a team performance that is better than the sum of their individual input.” Note that a work team is not the same as a work group: work groups do not have a common goal and do not aim for synergy. Workers in a work group are individually accountable for their performance and their goal is to exchange information https://www.oercommons.org/courses/key-skill-assessment-unit-working-with-othersWorking effectively with other people in a group or a team is a skill valued highly by community and educational organisations, as well as employers. Working in a group is about communicating effectively, contributing ideas, listening and receiving feedback, and leading or following as appropriate. Developing your skills means thinking about and planning the tasks the group needs to do, negotiating with others to develop shared goals and purpose, collaborating to achieve agreed results and then reviewing the approach.
Leadership is all about power dynamics. As a matter of fact, it’s power dynamics that differentiate between great leaders, and poor ones. Poor leaders solely rely on rank and formal authority (hard power, or “power over”), while better leaders acquire power by virtue of their personality and people’s skills, making others want to follow them (“power through”). Great leaders would acquire social status within groups even if they had no rank and formal power over others. Now that we've covered power dynamics, we can expand further in the next module on how these can be implemented more effectively within group dynamics and leadership roles in a group and/or organization. https://thepowermoves.com/power-dynamics/ References:"11 Practical Steps Towards Healthy Power Dynamics at Work" is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 "Key Skill Assessment Unit: Working With Others" is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0"Influencing Stakeholders: Dealing with Power and Dynamics in Teams and Networks" is licensed under CC BY 4.0 "Dynamic Customer Journey: How conversation is changing the way people and brands interact" by stefanomaggi is licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0 |
LEADERSHIP AND GROUP DYNAMICS
Leadership and Group Dynamics
Understanding management means understanding people. What motivates us to engage deeply and perform powerfully at work? How do we inspire that in teams? What are the best ways to organize ourselves to exploit opportunities and solve problems? These are critical questions for all leaders who share the goal of thriving in a global, digital, fast-paced future.
There are countless ways we can approach those topics, and diverse perspectives to consider—as is evident from the thousands of management manuals, podcasts, executive seminars and more. For example, among the TED Talks included in Leading Wisely, Itay Talgam shares a lyrical metaphor on the style of the great conductors, while Clay Shirky delivers a statistical deconstruction of the power of informal networks. It's precisely this enormous scope and variety that defines the reality of modern management and which makes it so fascinating, and so vital.
Modern thinking on management — from teaching and research inside universities to the way the world's most revered businesses organize themselves — has continuously evolved throughout the 20th and early 21st century. What's more, the pace of this evolution is increasing: the TED Talks in this collection cover a number of topics that didn't even exist ten years ago! This means successful managers must learn quickly, forecast trends and execute wisely.
Division of labor and beyond: Management theory is born
Industrialization shaped the work of the first management theorists in the US and Europe, where efforts to perfect new production processes gave management a practical focus and scientific method. Mining engineer Henri Fayol was one of the first to set out clear principles of management, which were formed through experiences organizing labor and machinery to extract coal in the most cost-efficient way. In the early decades of the 20th century Fayol identified six core principles of management: forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. A century later, these key principles still shape our ideas about management, even though we may implement them in more sophisticated ways.
In Fayol's time, managers enacted these six principles through authority and discipline, and the regimentation of that approach created as many problems as it did advantages. For example, perfecting production techniques through the division of labor involved a systematic breaking-down of production into repetitive, individual tasks, or 'piece work'. This formed the foundation of a new mass-production economy and significantly improved the standard of living for many workers and consumers--but the work was often tedious and didn't draw upon the worker's ideas or abilities in any meaningful way.
Fayol's contemporary, Henry Ford, provides the most famous example. In his quest to mass-produce an affordable automobile, Ford identified 84 specific steps required to assemble the Model T and hired Frederick Taylor, the creator of "scientific management," to conduct time and motion studies on the factory floor. In this way, Ford reasoned, he would know exactly how long it should take his workers to complete each of the 84 steps, and he could direct the exact motions each worker should use so that the assembly proceeded with maximum efficiency. Ford also reasoned that he could reduce the time spent on each task if his workers didn't have to move from one assembly to the next. So in 1913, inspired by a grain mill conveyor belt he'd seen, Ford introduced the first moving assembly line for factory production.
Only a year later, Ford surprised everyone when he announced that he would double wages and reduce working hours at his Detroit auto plant. Wall Street investors were dismayed. Media around the world reported Ford's announcement as a philanthropic gesture, or speculated that Ford was trying to create a bigger market for his Model T by creating a new middle-class American workforce. The reality? Ford realized he could lower turnover, and the costs of recruiting and training new employees, by offering better conditions and pay.
Beyond efficiency: Valuing people
When he raised wages and shortened the work day, Ford signaled that employee satisfaction was an essential element of successful management. There was a growing appetite to understand workers in this context and, more than that, to take a sociological or even anthropological viewpoint.
Although sociologists like Emile Durkheim had begun this work in the late 19th century, the backlash against division of labor gained momentum in the 1920s and '30s, when the horrors of the First World War fueled disillusionment with wide-scale mechanization. Many felt that workers were treated as machinery measured by volume of production alone.
In contrast, Elton Mayo highlighted the importance of social ties and a sense of belonging in the workplace. In Mayo's view, managers had to acknowledge these needs and listen to their employees, in order to make workers feel valued.
Mayo's ideas originated in part from his work at the Hawthorne General Electric Plant in Chicago, where he measured the effect of lighting levels on employees at the plant. Mayo found that simply taking an interest in the activities and opinions of staff produced a motivating effect—though when his work concluded and the plant returned to business as usual, productivity dropped.
Although Mayo championed a different kind of dynamic between managers and their subordinates in order to improve conditions and increase output, workers were given no real decision making power. Nevertheless, his work advanced management theory in a significant way, and decades later we can appreciate its influence on the people-oriented, more democratic operation of many modern companies like Semco. Its CEO, TED speaker Ricardo Semler, acknowledges that "it takes a leap of faith about losing control" to reorient a company so that it truly takes care of its people and treats them as its most important asset.
An orchestra conductor faces the ultimate leadership challenge: creating perfect harmony without saying a word. In this charming talk, Itay Talgam demonstrates the unique styles of six great 20th-century conductors, illustrating crucial lessons for all leaders.
Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership -- starting with a golden circle and the question: "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Wright brothers ...
Leadership and Group Dynamics
What is Group Dynamics?
The term ‘Group Dynamics’ comes from Kurt Lewin's (1948) studies of the impact of groups on members.
Groups are given the opportunity to:
Build interaction with each other
Encourage communication
Challenge individuals to take on roles and attributes to better function within the group
Allow for personal growth
Formal groups are used to organize and distribute work, devise plans, coordinate activities, increase commitment, negotiate, resolve conflicts, and conduct inquests.
Group working allows the pooling of people's individual skills and knowledge and helps compensate for individual deficiencies.
The study of leadership and power in groups is part of what we call group dynamics.
What is Leadership?
Leadership is...a relationship between one or more individuals and one or more other individuals within the framework of the social unit called a group. One part of the group is being called leader or leaders, while the other part is comprised of followers.
Having the right leader in place is important. A leader impacts the group in many ways.
Direction and guidance for the group to achieve goals.
Instill confidence in the individual and the team.
Can boost individual self-esteem of the group members.
Influences how a team member sees the entire group.
Leadership is an aspect of group dynamics.
Now that we've covered these various aspects necessary for more well-rounded and effective group leadership and power negotiation, we will share some fun interactive activites that you can do to apply what you've learned, in our next module.

Overview
..
Not a sound anywhere. It seemed as though he could touch the distant peaks with his finger. The air was so invigorating that it filled him with a desire to run across the unbroken fields of snow and down the endless sloping plain until he had to stop and pant for a breath. Pieter felt a little cold. He put the collar of his shirt up about his neck and with the back of his hand wiped off a drop of ice which shone on his ruddy nose.
It was eleven o'clock at night. The moon was concealed by menacing clouds, and the dismal note of the fog-horn seemed to draw itself out over the silent, meditating waters, while—as we imperceptibly drew away from the dock—the shadowy forms of the piers and storage-houses would stealthily approach, become fixed and rigid for an instant, and then would glide rapidly away into the night. After a few minutes a gust of wind warned us that the ship had reached the open sea. The clanking roar of an anchor being lowered and the heavy bumping of railway carriages still came to our ears from Southampton, and then—no further earthly sound whatever unless it was the faint lapping of the tiny waves against the side of the ship. . . . | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:12.041360 | 03/09/2022 | {

Introduction to Computer Networks
Overview
At its core, a computer network is a collection of interconnected devices—such as computers, servers, printers, and other digital resources—that can communicate and share information, data, and services with one another. These interconnected devices use a combination of hardware (like cables, routers, switches, and wireless access points) and software (operating systems, network protocols, and applications) to facilitate reliable, efficient, and secure data exchange. By establishing a common language and set of rules (protocols) for communication, computer networks create an environment in which information flows seamlessly, often transcending geographic and organizational boundaries.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/91893/overview | Peardeck as a Tool to Increase Learner Engagement
Overview
This OER is an analysis of the Google Slides add-on Peardeck
Why did you select this technology for this project?
Peardeck is Google Slides add-on that allows educators to seamlessly integrate checks for understanding, retrevial practice, and fromative assessment into their lessons. Peardeck gives each learner an opporutnity to share what they know without the pressures of having to share in front of their peers. Peardeck gives educators the option to question students in real time while presenting content in a Google Slide.
I choose to highlight Peardeck for this project because I have seen first hand how effective this add-on is in the learning environment. The ability for educators and learners to recieve immediate feedback allows for the learning process to be conitually adjusted to meet the specific needs of a group individual learner. The use of this tool increased learners engagement during presentations because learners knew their understanding would be checked. The use of Peardeck makes learners active participants during presentations rather than passive participants.
Where can I see this being used?
Peardeck is being used at K-12 Districts, and Insititutions across the country. I was first introduced to this tool by Scott M. at Hilton HS during my student teaching experience. In Hilton CSD Peardeck is widely used by teachers and students have become acustom to the use of the tool while content is being presented via Google Slides.
Teachers at Hilton utilize this tool to create a variety of different checks for understanding that they are able to scatter throughout their Google Slide presentations. The teachers are able to use this feedback immediatly while students are answer the question and can use that feedback to determine if the class is ready to move on or if more instruction is needed. This feedback can also be saved and used for more indepth and individualized feedback on student learning. Teachers at this school also use the peardeck tools ability to assign a grade to a student performance during the presenation of a Peardeck.
What are its key features?
As previously mentioned, Peardeck allows teachers to ask students questions while moving through Google Slide presentations. One key feature that Peardeck has is that the students can move through the presentation at their own pace (Student Paced Presentation) or the teacher can lead the class (Instructor Paced Presentation) and each student follows along on their own device. The teacher will be prompted to choose what mode they would like to use and this can be seen in the picture below.
When creating a Peardeck presentation, Instructors have some choice in the types of questions that they would like to ask their students. Teachers will be able to choose from a total of six different types of questions including text, choice, website, draggable, draw, and numbers. Each one of these types of questions opens up vast amounts of possibilites for educators to get creative and engage their students. The question will automatically be prompted to students as they move through the slide show and the answers will be recorded for the teacher to view. Teachers can save these responses to review at another time.
How does it work?
- The first intial step that an educator will need to take to use Peardeck is to visit the Google Chrome Store and download the Peardeck add-on by clicking "Add to Chrome." I have included the link here for convience: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pear-deck/dnloadmamaeibnaadmfdfelflmmnbajd?hl=en.
- Once you have downloaded the add on you will need to find or create a presentataion and brainstorm some questions that you may want to add for your students. Now that you have some questions that you want to ask you will find the "Add-on" tab at the top of your Google Slides screen. You will then manouver through the menu until it prompts to click the "Open Peardeck Add-on."
- A menu will open on the right side of your screen with the options for the various types of questions that you can ask your students. You are now ready to insert whatever question that you would like into your Google Slide presentation. There is no limit to the amount of questions that you can ask your students. Once you're ready to present you will click the "Start Lesson" button and choose which type of presentation you would like to do, Student-paced or Instructor-paced. A code will appear and students will be able to join your Peardeck!
How does it work for educational purposes?
The value that Peardeck provides to educators is undeniable. Teachers can use this platform to create interactive and engaging presentations that aim to enage every student in your classroom and get them to participate in the classroom activity. Peardeck specifically serves as a type of formative assessment that provides valuable feedback to educators during the course of a lesson.
Peardeck helps teachers to evaluate everyone including students that don't typically participate in the classroom. For example, when I was student teaching I discovered Peardeck and began to employ it in my classroom. In this classroom, just like every other classroom, I had groups of students who didn't actively particpate. What I found when using this tool was these students began to be more engaged and would even be excited to see their answers up on the board. In some instance I had these students asking me to read their answers to provide them with feedback on what they put. Keep in mind just days prior these students were not engaged in the same type of presentation and did not particpate. By mindfully integrating this tool into my presentations I was able to create a better and more effective learning environemnt for my students.
What are the future uses and implications of this technology in the context of three education levels: K-12, Higher Ed, Corporate?
As technology continues to be integrated into classrooms across the world so will the use of add-ons and edtech tools such as Peardeck. Peardeck allows quick and effective feedback for both educators and learners which was not previously possible with the traditional paper and pen setting. This is the goal of integrating technology into classrooms, enable educators to provide learning opportunites not previously possible without technology. This tool will continue to grow in education and create learning opportunites.
There are no limits to what types of presentations or what types of settings that Peardeck can be integrated into. It is easy to use and very straightforward allowing it to be used by even the least tech-savy individuals. This technology will contribute to the transformation of our educational institutions and it is likely that it will weave its way into the corperate educational setting as well.
What are the challenges/downsides to using it and what tips can you give users to deal with these?
- There are not many downfalls to using Peardeck, but there are a few things to keep in mind when using this add-on. One thing to consider is that every user will need to have a google account to be able to join the Peardeck. This is not an issue in many K-12 schools, but higher ed insititutions and at the corperate level it is not guaranteed that each learner will have an google account. Google accounts are very and easy to create so this isn't a significant barrier.
- Another consideration is that there is a paid version of Peardeck, but it is not requried to use the base version of the add-on. There are six total tools that can be used and with the free version of Peardeck you will have access to four out the the six tools.
- Lastly a challenge that teachers may face with Peardeck is students working at different paces. When creating questions with Peardeck you will want to consider this and plan for it. My reccomendation is to keep most questions simple checks for understanding with a longer or increasingly difficult question at the end of the presentation.
My views on OERs.
Open Education Resources (OERs) are a valuable part of the collaborative nature of education. Allowing educators to share content, ideas, and materials in a medium that encompasses thousands of differnet types of resources is a valuable resource. OERs provide immediate and continued access to tons of resources of educators. OERs foster collaboration amoungest educators by allowing them to share materials that can then be adapted, improved, and shared again. OERs are another way that technology is working to push forward and improve our eductional systems. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:12.152942 | 04/18/2022 | {

Overview
This is an introductory conversation about defining political science and government.
What is Political Science?
There is a difference between Political Science and Government.
(1) It is nice to think about Political Science being the actors who are involved in making the decisions that have been involved in government.
(2) Government is an idea of the institutions that have been created, in which politicians are employed.
The Google Slides provides a foundation for understanding the difference between Political Science and Government! It also is helpful in understanding what is Political Science. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:12.182773 | 10/20/2020 | {

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/84165/overview | In Class Activity or Online Discussion: Wife of Bath Literary Quick Take
Overview
The literary quick takes are weekly discussions and in-class activities that I use to frame the text for the students. This is mostly formative and graded based on engagement.
Literary Quick Takes
I use this for group discussion in both online and in-class formats. It is intended to allow students to explore the meaning of the text in relation to themselves and to engage in meaningful discussion with peers.
In this discussion, I would like to highlight an important point illuminated by the Wife of Bath, especially in her prologue: there is nothing "wrong" with men. The problematic aspects of the society include the demonization of others, such as misogyny. These elements are highlighted in many of our stories: the Knight learns to respect women's agency, Shahrayar is redeemed, Achilles finds his way back to compassion, and Gilgamesh can accept his mortality.
Rather, it is the persistence of destructive and negative methods of denying reality and others' rights to happiness that lead us astray. With that in mind, here is a former Police Special Operations officer Shane Horsburgh on redefining masculinity (please note there is mention of suicide):
Horsburgh notes that he created a "false image" and a "false map" or manhood. Alyson shows us a similarly nuanced view of manhood through her five husbands, most notably through her tale. The Knight has a similarly destructive view of women as an object at the beginning of the tale. To be blunt, he rapes a virgin, and this is a reality that we must reckon with:
Why does Queen Guinevere not execute the knight, and what might Chaucer indicate about the problematic way some men relate with the world? | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:12.238275 | 07/23/2021 | {

Macromolecules - similarities and differences
Practice Worksheet: Macromolecules - similarities and differences
Introductory Human Biology Course; Introductory Biology Course (non-majors)
Guidance on how to use this assignment:
This activity provides the opportunity for the students to practice using new terminology that is typically introduced in the second chapter of an undergraduate human biology course or undergraduate introductory biology course. This corresponds with Open Stax- Human Biology OER textbook by Willy Cushwa (Ch 2) https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/human-biology
and
OpenStax Concepts of Biology (Ch 2) https://openstax.org/books/concepts-biology/pages/2-3-biological-molecules
Instructors could assign this worksheet to be completed as a pre-class assignment to assess understanding before any instruction begins and again as a post-class assignment to see how much they actually learn during instruction. It also could solely be assigned as a post-class assignment to challenge the students to use the new terminology right after the introductory material is covered.
Students will typically spend ~5-15 minutes on this assignment.
It has been designed to be an ungraded practice assignment. Students do not necessarily have to have been introduced to the material for this assignment to be worthwhile.

Job Interview Preparation
Job Interview Simulation and Training - Mock Interview
Interview Process Training
Overview
With our tutorial, we want to send everyone into the interview room (or potentially virtual interview room) prepared and confident. You know you have skills and talents to offer to the employer, you know you are the best fit for the position, so now the preparation you complete for that interview will ensure the employer knows it too.
We break down the four phases of an interview process: Preparation, What to Wear, How to Present Your Best Self, and How to Follow Up.
Introduction
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. —Theodore Roosevelt
Pursuit of successful employment and a thriving career are still challenges that many adults face. The hardest part, aside from waiting for the call for an interview, is the interview itself! So many emotions surrounding that eventful day – what to wear, how to be prepared, how to sell yourself without overstating your abilities and talents.
With our tutorial, we want to send everyone into the interview room (or potentially virtual interview room) prepared and confident. You know you have skills and talents to offer to the employer, you know you are the best fit for the position, so now the preparation you complete for that interview will ensure the employer knows it too.
We break down the four phases of an interview process: Preparation, What to Wear, How to Present Your Best Self, and How to Follow Up.
In following this simple outline, you will have the best opportunity to wow your future employer and solidify that you are the best candidate. Regardless of this being your 7th interview or your 37th, we want to provide you with the game plan for how to walk in with confidence.
Lesson Objectives
Included in this segment you will find resources for preparing yourself for an interview - including what to do to prepare, what to wear on the big day, and what to do immediately following. The segments are broken down as follows:
- Researching the Company
- How to Present Your Previous Work Credentials
- Dressing for the Interview
- After the Interview
- Final Takeaways

Research the Company
Hired candidates reported spending more time talking about company culture and the functions of the job with their interviewer (63 percent) than did the rejected candidates (47 percent). - SmartRecruiters
Always enter an interview with knowledge about the company. You could be their newest employee, after all. Recruiters and interview panel members will be impressed with your knowledge and interest in the position. Employers want to know and feel that you are passionate and confident in your abilities to fit the position and there is no better way to get this across then by showing you know are fimilar with the company's mission, culture, customers and competitors.
Learner Activity: Learners will be asked to select a company from Fortune’s 100 best companies to work for in 2020. This company has selected the learner for an interview. How do you prepare?
Use this checklist to search the company you selected from Fortune’s list.
Examples of your work
Prior experience has a 55% chance of influencing the decision, while conversation skills have 49%, knowledge of the industry 41%, and culture fit 35%.
- whattobecome.com
Now the learners have researched their company and understand the company's mission, goals, customers and competitors. They can use this information to select relevant examples of their work and experiences. Prepare to share these experiences during the interview.
What type of experiences should be included?
Just like you’re using social media to find out about someone, so are your recruiters looking you up to learn more about you outside your resume.
- whattobecome.com
Socia media and google searches should be expected from recruiters and the company that is interviewing. Learners can use this to their advantage. Consider creating online portfolio. These online sites can expand on the resume and give examples of the experience the learner collected above.
Learner Activity: Watch the resource video "How to Make a Resume Website to Get an AWESOME Job (in 2020)".
Dress for the Interview
Learners will take the Pre-Assessment. This is a basic pre-assessment to see what the learner already knows about the interview process.
. Click here to take the PRE-ASSESSMENT
"While your qualifications obviously matter most, your first impression with an employer is also vitally important. In fact, according to the Twin Group, 50% of interviewers think that a candidate can be eliminated for the position due to the way they dressed, acted or walked through the door."
"A clean, polished look can be reassuring to prospective employers. Research the organization’s dress code policy and their company culture. Remember that an interview often requires more professional attire than you might wear after being hired."
Learners will watch two videos, after each one the learners will discuss what the candidate is wearing and if it is appropriate to wear to an interview. What should the candidate change?
Video 1 - Job Interview 1
Video 2 - Job Interview 2
Complete the videos and post at least 2 responses in chat.
Business Casual vs. Business Formal
Typically, business formal is a matching pants or skirt suit (often a dark color) with a button-down shirt and tie or a blouse.
Business casual is more open ended. Think dress pants with a button-down shirt or a pencil skirt or dress pants with a blouse and a cardigan.
Discuss the difference between these two types of dress. Why would it be important not to wear jeans to an interview?
Answer in second discussion board.
Well-chosen accessories (tie, scarf, etc.) can help you stand out and can add a splash of color.
If you wear a tie, the knot should be centered under your chin. As for color/pattern, coordinate with the rest of your outfit so that it doesn’t clash. Ties with smaller patterns and darker colors look more authoritative and more conservative.
If you plan to wear a skirt or dress, remember that you’ll be sitting for at least part of your interview. We recommend that your skirt be no more than 2 inches above the knee.
When dressing for an interview, it best to dress conservatively. Keep in mind that all interviews start with a bang! So make sure you’re ready when you step into the room and impress them from the start.
Watch the video below.
Learner Activity: look online and create a shopping cart from a store of your choice. Pick what you would wear to your interview and submit for your final assessment.
During the Interview
Body Language
Did you know that your body language speaks to people before you say a single word? How you stand, how you sit, how you cross your arms, how you cross your legs, all tell the interviewer about you.
In this section, we will look at some do’s and don’ts of body language during an interview.
Here are some researched tips to remember for your next job interview.
- Sit up straight and tall all the way back in your seat versus slumping over or slouching. You want to show that you are interested in what the speaker has to say. Research shows that you can lean forward as a way of showing engagement.
2. Eye Contact- Research varies slightly with eye contact; however, the consensus is to not avoid it but look at the direction of the eyes between the eyes, nose and mouth area.
3. Using hand gestures while speaking as another way of showing engagement in the conversation.
4. Nod your head while speaking is another way of showing engagement in the conversation.
5. Lean in during the conversation to show attentiveness and engagement with the interviewer.
Interview Questions
Now that you are aware of your body language during the interview, lets look at what type of questions to expect during the interview. There are different behavioral interview questions that the interviewer will ask during the interview. The organization asks these questions to see how compatible you are with their company. The questions cover areas of teamwork, time-management, communication, and motivation and values. So be prepared to examples of specific situations that you have been in where you had to use certain skills.
One method research shows to assist you with answering these questions is to use the STAR Interview Method. STAR is an acronym which stands for situation, task, action, result. Using this acronym when answering behavioral interview questions is a way of organizing your thoughts while providing a detailed specific answer.
Let’s look at what each letter means.
S- situation: establish the scene while giving important details of the example.
T- task: describe your responsibilities in that situation
A- action: explain the actions taken to address the situation
R- results: share the outcomes your actions achieved
Below is a list of common sample behavioral questions you should be prepared to answer.
Teamwork
|
Time management skills
|
Communication Skills
|
Motivation and Values
|
After the Interview
You’ve just completed the interview. You nailed it! Now what?
Something that may seem like a relic from days of yore that you want to be sure to partake of during your interview process is a timely and sincere follow up thank you.
Whether it be a quick email or a handwritten note (still acceptable and appropriate, depending on several factors), you want to make sure you don’t overlook this business etiquette must-do. In the fast-paced and virtual world of today, this five minute follow up will help to leave a positive lasting impression. This shows you are sincerely interested, you value your interviewer’s time, and your follow through is on-point.
How you dress and how you answer questions (and ask!) during the interview process are critical to convey your superior positioning to fulfill the expectations outlined in the job posting. The final touch, though, is to show the interviewer(s) your interpersonal skills and your emotional intelligence.
Employers are looking for candidates with the business acumen to fulfill the daily work requirements, but the other daily requirements of a job that are more understated and not something clearly expressed in a resume are the people skills and soft skills that a candidate brings to the work environment.
Even in a virtual working environment, interpersonal relationships are key to any company successes, and creating valuable lasting personal connections is a must. A solid way to convey your social competence is through your thank you follow up.

Final Takeaways
Now that you have prepped for the big day, we want to leave you with some closing thoughts about the process as a whole. While building your foundation for success, it is important to see how each piece of the process is bringing out your best opportunities to showcase your skills.
The series of steps we've outlined show you just how important it is to follow through with your whole self as you maneuver through the application and interviewing process. From on the onset of the application process, keep in mind that a prospective employer is looking for the whole candidate to fill their position - someone with the appropriate educational and/or professional experience, as well as someone who has the soft skills to relate with people, work in potential team environments and contribute positively to achieving goals from the company perspective.
As you pursue your next career move, know that you have many tools at your disposal to help you feel your best in this exciting endeavor.

Why Digital Literacy Matters
Digital Citizenship
Overview
Let's learn how to be a good digital citizen.
Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses computers, the Internet, and digital devices to engage with society on any level. Good digital citizenship engages young students and shows them how to connect with one another, empathize with each other, and create lasting relationships through digital tools. Bad digital citizenship, on the other hand, entails cyberbullying, irresponsible social media usage, and a general lack of knowledge about how to safely use the Internet.
There are six key concepts to understand about digital citizenship:
- media balance and well-being
- privacy and security
- digital footprint and identity
- relationships and communications
- cyberbullying, digital drama, and hate speech
- news and media literacy
Exploring the Internet
Let's explore some websites and see if they are a "good fit" for you. They are linked on the Google Doc. Give this website a thumbs up if it is a good fit for you. If it is NOT a good fit, give it a thumbs down and write a note telling us why it's not a good fit!
Rings of Responsibility
Teaching digital citizenship is all about helping kids think beyond themselves and recognize the ripple effects of their actions. Personal responsibility is important, but understanding their responsibilities to others can help kids unlock new ways to learn and connect with their communities -- and even change those communities for the better.
Be Internet Awesome
Play this game to learn about internet use and safety. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:13.466408 | 07/06/2022 | {

Goal I Create understanding of social media etiquette and considerations.
Context I Students are beginning to or will soon be active on social media.
Objective I Make students aware of social media etiquette and considerations.
Standards I
“I Can” Statement I I can use social media safely and responsibly.
AASL Standards I :
III.B.Create Learners participate in personal, social intellectual networks by: 1. Using a variety of communication tools and resources.
III.C.Share Learners work productively with others to solve problems by: 1. Soliciting and responding to feedback from others and
2.Involving diverse perspectives in their own inquiry process.
South Dakota State Library Standards
4.LIB.IL.1.5 Share learning by beginning to use a variety of platforms, tools, styles, media, and formats.
4.LIB.CE.1.2 Explore and identify the impact of one's online activity and digital footprint.
4.LIB.CE.1.6 Respectfully collaborate to contribute to the exchange of ideas in diverse learning communities.
Procedures I
- Give each student three scraps of scratch paper.
- On the first scrap – Respond to this question assuming only your closest friend or friends would see it: What’s the most embarrassing thing – you’ve ever done?
- On the second scrap – Answer the same question, but in this case - your teachers, principal, and the adults in your family will see it.
- And on the third scrap– Answer the question knowing your favorite movie/tv star(s), singer(s)/musician(s), and/or hero will see it.
- Critical thinking prompts: That was the same question – did you write different answers for each? Did you feel more embarrassed thinking about one of those groups reading your response or responses than others? Why? Research shows that people often post things online that they would never say aloud or in person. Do you think you would be more likely to post something online than saying it aloud to any of these groups? Why do you think that is? Why might it be a poor decision or even dangerous?
- Key point: When you post online, there is a potential that anyone can see your post or response… even people you have never met or haven’t met yet. You might apply for a job in a few years and many employers look online to see your social media history. Many parents check their kid’s accounts. Would you be proud to have your friend’s mom or dad reading what you’ve sent or posted publicly? Even though it might feel like you are talking just to your friends – social media posts can be permanent. If you post or even private message something you are not proud of – even if you delete it, someone else may have already taken a screen shot of it and can continue to show others.
- Next step: Let’s take a look at how social media conversations work. Just like any community – online social media platforms have a culture. Here are some unofficial rules that are good to follow on any of them.
- Don’t write in all CAPs. It creates the appearance you are angry or yelling.
- Use complete sentences and good grammar/punctuation. It’s easy to be misunderstood online.
- Be clear and concise.
- Respond to the portion of the thread you are responding to… not necessarily the whole thread. (Show example.)
- Be polite, even to strangers.
- Beware of trolls and bullies. Some people are only online or participate in conversations to create drama or hurt others. Don’t engage with them and reach out to friends if you see them being bullied.
- Ask a trusted grown-up for help if you feel uncomfortable or see something that feels wrong or dangerous.
- Final Step: Create a mock Twitter feed on an empty part of your room. Have students post to the “feed” using Post-It notes throughout the day. Students must include their name on the posts.
- BONUS – Keep it going all year as a community building activity. Have a daily question available for students to respond to. If time at the end of each day, discuss.
Assessment I Monitor the mock Twitter Feed. Advise individual students as needed and reinforce main concepts with group.
My Remix Version:
1. Watch this video about the importance of media literacy to introduce them to the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaMzYDe0taY
2. Replace the questions in the Procedure above with a visual aid (Google Slide) https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HlQ9LlvHnHib-_qi76hveDiI7b90SZh4Y1kKsrn1Lg0/edit?usp=sharing, this will help 3-5th grade students see rather than just hear the questions.
3. Showcase Media Literacy by allowing them to create an advertisement. They will be given fill out sheets to help them plan and think of ideas for an ad for a juice box. This will help them get an understanding of how media literacy works. Images, color, slogans, words that pop out, etc. are all things used to create media such as an ad to either inform, entertain, or persuade the viewer of a product, material, or message. They will be asked questions like, I chose to create an ad for…, I chose to use the background because…, The image for my product is…, My grab words are…, etc. This will also be included in the powerpoint to help the students see a visual aid for what they're doing.
I used this idea and template from https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Student-Media-Project-541258 as a way to teach media literacy. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:13.561433 | Homework/Assignment | {

Pre activity
STs are going to start with an activity to know the things that Ss like or love.
First STs will do an icebreaker activity called “choose two pictures”, the purpose with this exercise is to give them the opportunity to select two images and then answer some questions to tell us later why they chose those two and if they felt identified with some of the questions. With this activity STs can talk with the Ss and enter into confidence, also STs indirectly provide some details about the topic of the class.
Choose two pictures:https://view.genial.ly/61b90ee62e7cd30d5ff1866e/interactive-content-psychology
While activity
Then knowing the students’ previous knowledge about multiple intelligences. The STs will make a presentation in Genially through interactive images to explain the topic with their respective meanings and examples. In addition, we will talk about some professions that require the different Intelligences to be able to perform the jobs in a better way. After explaining the topic, the Educaplay application will be used by Ss to put into practice what was seen previously. The Ss will relate images with the different types of intelligence and that is how TSs will clarify doubts that exist on the subject.
Genially Activity: Multiple Intelligences: https://view.genial.ly/61b7c69fcc365b0d92960201/interactive-image-multiple-intelligences
Educaplay Activity: Matching Columns Game: https://www.educaplay.com/learning-resources/11082840-multiple_intelligences.html
Post activity
Finally, the ST will carry out two activities, where one of them is called "Mystery box" which is done in PP, where it will be done in two teams and questions will be asked. The other activity will be carried out through Genially and is called "Escape Room Museum", in which both activities will deal with topics seen and it is to evaluate to the S how much they learn about the topic of the types of multiple intelligences and their professions.

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/103534/overview | P.E. Soccer Passing Lesson
Overview
This is a lesson on how to teach proper passing technique in soccer including a passing activity to help assess how students are doing.
Introduction
Teaching strategies | Partner work, hands on learning, and modeling. |
Essential Vocabulary Words and Phrases of Focus for this Lesson | Accuracy Proper Form Equator of ball Check Mark Planting Foot |
Indiana Academic Standards for Physical Education and/or Health | Standard 11. Manipulative Skills (Foot Pass/Kick) for Grade 2: Demonstrates an emerging pattern while passing and kicking a moving ball with the inside of the foot (such as passing the ball to a teammate in a soccer lead up game). (2.1.11.A) |
Interdisciplinary Standards
|
Math: 2.NS.1: Count by ones, twos, fives, tens, and hundreds up to at least 1,000 from any given number
|
How many of you have ever played soccer at recess? Do you know how to pass a ball correctly?
Turn to a partner or someone around you and discuss.
What does proper form look like when passing a soccer ball?
What is accuracy?
Why do we want to be accurate when we pass? Why is accuracy important?
By the end of this lesson, you will know how to pass a soccer ball with proper form and accuracy.
What is Proper Form?
Demonstrate what proper form looks like for students so students have a visual.
Proper passing form looks like:
Stand on your planting foot, or the foot you aren’t kicking with, and have planting foot point towards where you want the ball to go.
Kicking foot should make a check mark meaning foot is flexed and toes are pointing up.
Passes should be made with the inside of the foot where the foot curves.
Ball should be kicked near the equator, or middle, of the ball.
If the ball is kicked accurately, it should go in the direction you want.
Practice Passing
Watch who has the technique down and who needs extra help. As students seem to master skill, have them partner up and practice passing to feet.
Once all students are passing with a partner, set up cones activity called gate passing. Space sets of cones, spread about 3 feet apart from each other, randomly around the gym.
Assessments
| Formative | Summative |
| Watch kids pass with a partner through a set of cones. Do they use inside of foot to pass? Worth 1 point. Do they pass through the cone? Worth one point Does it make it to their partner’s foot? Worth 1 point. Can they make consecutive passes and stay accurate? Worth 1 point. Scale from 0-4 with 4 being best. |
Grab a soccer ball and find a spot around the room near the wall.
Practice passing against the wall.
Once comfortable passing against the wall, find a partner and practice passing to feet.
Gate Passing
Have students find a gate, or a set of cones. Have students practice passing through the gate to their partner’s feet. Time students for at least a minute and have them count how many passes they can get in that minute. Ask students how many passes they got. Do this at least 3 times, and have students try to beat their score each round. Ask students to raise their hand if they beat their score from the previous round.
If students need a challenge, have them try passing and moving. Have them pass through one gate, and then a partner needs to find a new gate to pass through. Partners must pass through a new gate each time for the pass to count.
Scaffolding for Gap Repair and Extended Learning Opportunities | SPED | ELL | High Ability |
Focus on kicking with inside of foot and not on accuracy.
Do not time student’s passes or do not have students count passes.
| Model and demonstrate activity and proper form.
Do not have students count passes. | Have students pass and move. |
Assessments
| Formative | Summative |
| Watch kids pass with a partner through a set of cones. Do they use inside of foot to pass? Worth 1 point. Do they pass through the cone? Worth one point Does it make it to their partner’s foot? Worth 1 point. Can they make consecutive passes and stay accurate? Worth 1 point. Scale from 0-4 with 4 being best. |
With your partner, find a set of cones, or a gate.
Practice passing through the gate to your partner's feet.
When the timer starts, count how many passes you and your partner get before the timer goes off.
Try to beat your score each round we play!
Rap Up
At the end of the activity, bring students back together, and ask them to reiterate what proper form looks like by either telling or demonstrating.
What does proper passing form look like?
Does anyone want to demonstrate? | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:13.647213 | Assessment | {

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/102299/overview | Photon Upconversion
Overview
This material consists of general introduction of the phenomenon "photon upconversion". I have attached a file for better understanding. There are also references for further studies.
“Photon Upconversion”
**(Please refer the attached file for better understanding)**
By: Kiran Hiremath
Contents:
They can be synthesized by-
1. Lanthanide based upconversion materials (Ln, Z=57 to Lu, Z=71) 2. Transition metal doped upconversion materials (Cr3+, Ti2+, Re4+,Os4+, and Mo3+) 3. Organic upconversion materials (Organic and organo-metallic chromophores)
1. Lanthanides based UCM:
2. Transition metal ion(TM) doped UCM:
3. Organic UCM:
Different mechanisms have been recognized, although the three basic mechanisms are – a. Excited state absorption (ESA) b. Energy transfer upconversion (ETU) and c. Photon avalanche (PA)
Involves multistep excitation by sequentially absorbing one or more photons from the ground state to intermediate reservoir stage, and finally populates at excited state, from which upconversion luminescence occurs. (Efficiency = ~10-5cm2/W)
There are certain requirements in this process: 1. Two ion system (sensitizer and activator) which lie in close in proximity to each other. 2. Long intermediate states. 3. High absorption of the senstizer. 4. Matching of intermediate energy states of sensitizer and activator. (Lanthanide pair : Yb+3/Tm+3 and Yb+3/Er+3) (Efficiency: ~10-3cm2/W)
It can be characterized by three distinct nonlinear behaviors: transmission, emission, and rise time on the pump power intensity with generally the existence of a critical pump threshold. It’s the combination of the previous two mechanism culminating in the release of several high energy photons.
Even though upconversion process seems promising in diverse fields, the insufficient emission intensity has been a problem that restricts its application.
a. Weak absorption of lanthanide ions. b. Complex energy levels may result in many non-radiative pathways. c. Concentration quenching. (cross relaxation and energy migration)
a. Host matrix - optically transparent and low lattice phonon energy. b. Sensitizer - high absorption cross-section. c. Selection of suitable activator. d. Building proper shell around the UCNPs to minimize the surface effects.

Overview
Gives a little insight into media literacy.
Teaching Materials, Activities & Assessment
Setting the stage: an introduction to visual literacy and social media Start with the Introduction to Media Literacy Slide Deck "C:\Users\Megan Rice-Weber\OneDrive\Documents\CI-2300-103-Medialesson.pdf". Before you begin, plan how/where you would like students to record their ideas/responses to questions in the slides. This slide deck can be posted for asynchronous learning. Student Activities: The flexible design of this unit holds many possibilities for student practice and engagement with visual literacy skills.
Activity: Reading Social Media You can choose posts for students to select from a carefully curated set of accounts. Students can take screenshots of images and then import them into a doc, etc. for analysis. Students can also share posts with the teacher for class discussion. Make sure you have previewed the content of images, text, etc. ahead of time.
Sample. Activity: Developing Visual Literacy Students can create a slide, doc or other way to share their thinking. You can use this slide template as one way to gather student responses: Choose your own image to analyze Cross-curricular
Activity: Connecting Visual Literacy to Primary Source Analysis You can use the OPVI/E as a starting point to collaborate with your social studies department. By reinforcing literacy skills and concepts between departmentsm, you can help students realize that literacy skills are not confined to one class or subject. OPVI/E Student
Activity: Adding to the Visual Literacy Toolbox Angles, Edits and Crops Begin with a warm up. Students can analyze a post you have curated or can analyze one they have submitted as part of lesson one. Students can practice applying guiding questions and concepts to images they select. This lesson also introduces students to the concept of using copyright free images. A good resource for warm ups: Time’s top 100 pictures of 2020 Student Assessment: Create your own ad Introduce the activity. Have students brainstorm possible topics. Students can share their ideas in a variety of showcase platforms, ie whole class slide show, gallery walk, small groups, etc. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:13.807855 | 04/12/2022 | {

What makes a good friend?
Understanding Anger and How to Deal With It
Overview
This Open Educational Resource (OER) is designed for young children, particularly those in kindergarten and early elementary school, to help them understand and manage feelings of anger. The resource provides simple explanations, relatable examples, and practical strategies to teach kids how to handle anger positively. It is enhanced with supporting materials, including videos, images, and documents, to engage young learners and reinforce key concepts.
Anger can sometimes make us do things that hurt others, like yelling or hitting. This educational resource helps kids understand what anger is, why we feel it, and how to handle it better. Kids will learn how to deal with anger through simple explanations and fun examples and become more caring and peaceful.
1. What is Anger?
Anger is a strong feeling that can make us feel upset or mad. Everyone feels angry sometimes, and that’s okathat's it's imporit's to know how to handle anger without hurting others.
2. Why Do We Get Angry?
Feeling Upset
Sometimes, we get angry because we feel upset when things don’t go the way we want.
Feeling Frustrated
We can also feel angry when we are stuck or can’t do the scanning we want to do.
Copying Others
If we see other people, like friends or family, getting angry and acting out, we might think it’s okay; it's the same.
3. What Happens When We Get Angry?
Words That Hurt
When angry, we might say mean things that hurt other people's people's
Actions That Hurt
Sometimes, we might hit, push, or do other things that can hurt others.
4. Examples of Angry Situations
Example 1: School Playground
Jenny feels angry when another child takes the toy she was playing with. She yells at the child and tries to grab the toy back.
Example 2: Car Ride
When the car ride takes too long, Tom gets really angry. He starts yelling and kicking the seat in front of him.
5. How Can We Handle Anger?
Take a Deep Breath
When you feel angry, try taking a few deep breaths to calm down.
Talk About It
Tell a teacher or an adult how you feel. Talking about your feelings can help you feel better.
Walk Away
If something makes you angry, try walking away and finding a quiet place to calm down.
Think of Happy Things
Think about something that makes you happy, like your favorite game or a fun day you had.
6. Helping Each Other
Be Kind
If you see someone else feeling angry, be kind and try to help them feel better.
Share and Play Fair
Sharing and playing nicely with friends can help everyone feel happy and avoid anger.
Use Words, Not Fists
Always use your words to express how you feel instead of hitting or pushing.
7. Real-Life Example: How We Solved a Problem
In our school, some kids were feeling angry and yelling during playtime. We started a "Feelings "ircle" where ev"ryone could talk about their feelings. Soon, everyone learned to share and play nicely, and our playtime became much more fun!
8. Conclusion
Anger is a normal feeling, but it's imporit's to handle it in a way that doesn’t hudoesn'trs. By taking deep breaths, talking about our feelings, and being kind, we can all learn to manage our anger and make our school happier. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:13.904879 | Module | {

Overview
This resource will help you to understand osmosis
Osmosis
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from the area with high water potential (low concentrated solution) to area with low water potential (high concentrated solution) through semi permeable membrane.
Hypertonic solution is the solution with low water potential. It contains a lot of solutes.
Hypotonic solution is the solution with high water potential. It contain small amount of solutes.
Isotonic solution is the solution with equal amount of water molecules and solutes.
IMPROTANCE OF OSMOSIS
i. It helps plant roots to absorb water from the soil.
ii. It aid in opening and closing of stomata. When guard cell absorbs water the stomata open and when guard cell loose water the stomata closes.
iii. During germination of seed, the seed absorbs water through osmosis and hence soften the seed coat making it more permeable to dissolved minerals and oxygen.
iv. It helps in re-absorption of water in the colon and kidney.
v. It is used in food preservation by salting and when salt is added to the food, water will move to areas with salt hence the food become dry.
vi. In organisms like amoeba, osmosis helps to remove waste and excess water from their bodies.
EFFECTS OF OSMOSIS IN LIVING ORGANISMS
IN ANIMAL CELLS
• When animal cell is placed in hypertonic solution, it loses water therefore shrinks and shrivels. For example when a red blood cell is placed in hypertonic solution it will lose water and shrink. The shrinking of animal cell due loss of water is called crenation
• When the animal cell is placed in hypotonic solution it absorbs water. if it is left in the hypotonic solution for a long time its will burst because it has no cell wall prevent it from bursting. Haemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells when a placed in hypotonic solution
• When the animal cell is placed in the isotonic solution there will be no effect because water will be moving in both directions until the steady state is reached.
IN PLANT CELLS
• When placed in hypertonic solution the plant cell will lose water causing the vacuole to shrink and the cell surface membrane is pulled away from the cell wall. The pulling of the surface membrane away from the cell wall is called flaccidity.
A flaccid cell is said to be plasmolysed.
Plasmolysis is the process whereby the plant cell water loses water due to osmosis and shrink.
• When place in hypotonic solution the plant cell will absorb water causing the cell membrane to push against the cell wall.
Turgidity is the condition whereby the plant cell absorbs water and become turgid.
Turgidity is a result of presence of cell wall which prevents bursting of the plant cell when it absorbs water.
Turgidity helps the plant cells to maintain their shape.
• When placed in isotonic solution the plant cell neither loses water nor gain because there is steady state condition. I.e. the concentration gradient is zero.
IN UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS
• In hypotonic solution organisms like Amoeba and Euglena have contractile vacuole which collects and remove the excess water which enters into their bodies. | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:13.934396 | 07/07/2023 | {

عمليات القلب المفتوح
عمليات القلب
عملية القلب المفتوح
:أنواع جراحة القلب
عملية القلب المفتوح : هي عملية كبرى تحتاج إلى إقامة في المستشفى لمدة أسبوع أو أكثر بما في ذلك الإفاقة في وحدة العناية المركزة مباشرة بعد الجراحة ، وهي عملية لإصلاح خطأ و تلف في القلب يقوم الجراح بشق الصدر للوصول إلى القلب
: نستخدم جراحة القلب المفتوح غالباً لإجراء
أ] جراحة لتغيير مسار الشرايين التاجية : في هذا الإجراء يتم استبدال دول الشرايين التاجية في إمداد القلب بالدم ، قد تكون هناك حاجة لهذه الجراحة إذا أصبحت الشرايين التاجية أضيق بسبب أمراض القلب مثل هذا الضيق يزيد من خطر الإصابة بنوبة قلبية يتم إستبدال الشريان المسدود بشريان آخر غالباً من مكان آخر في الصدر أو من الساق
ب] إستبدال الصمامات التالفة : تعمل الصمامات في القلب على وقف تدفق الدم إلى أجزاء من القلب بعد ضخها للخروج منها ، ويمكن أيضاً إصلاح مشكلة تسمى تمدد الأوعية الدموية عن طريق جراحة القلب المفتوح هذا هو عندما يكون هناك إنتفاخ أو تورم في الشريان الرئيسي الخارج من القلب
متى يطلب إجراء جراحة القلب المفتوح ؟
جراحة القلب المفتوح تعتبر حلاً لكثير من الأمراض إلا أن السبب الأكثر شيوعاً لإجرائها هو مجازة الشريان التاجي
*حالات أخرى تتطلب إجراء جراحة القلب المفتوح
حالة إصلاح الصمام أو إستبداله – إصلاح المناطق التالفة القلب – زراعة القلب
:نصائح هامة لمن أجرى جراحة القلب المفتوح
إعتني بالجرح جيداً وحافظ عليه جافاً ونظيفاً
تجنب القيام بأي نشاط رياضي خلال شهرين من بعد العملية
التزم بنظام غذائي صحي مناسب لك وإبتعد نهائياً عن الدهون
نم على ظهرك واحذر من أن تنام على جنبك أو ظهرك تلك الفترة
تجنب نهائياً التدخين أو شرب الكحول
:ماهي مميزات جراحة القلب المفتوح
تقليل مدة الإقامة بالمستشفى
تقليل النزيف بعد الجراحة
تقليل نسبة الإصابة بالعدوى
تقليل مدة النقاهة في المنزل مع إمكانية العودة إلى العمل سريعاً .

عمليات القلب بالمنظار
:عملية القلب بالمنظار
عمليات القلب بالمنظار
:ما هي جراحة القلب بالمنظار
أثناء عمليات جراحة القلب بالمنظار يقوم الجراح بعمل فتحات جراحية صغيرة على الجانب الأيمن من الصدر وبالتالي يستطيع جراح القلب أن يصل إلى القلب من بين الضلوع ولا يحتاج إلى شق عظمة القص وهي العظمة الموجودة في منتصف القفص الصدري وبالتالي يكون الألم أقل وفترة النقاهة في المستشفى محدودة بعد الجراحة
كما هو الحال في جراحة القلب المفتوح
جراحة القلب بالمنظار من خلال الشقوق أو الفتحة الجراحية الصغيرة تحتاج إلى إيقاف واستخدام مكينة القلب الصناعي
يمكن إستخدام جراحة القلب عن طريق الفتحات صغيرة في حالات إصلاح أو إستبدال الصمام الأورطي أو الميترالي كما يستخدم أيضاً في إًصلاح ثقب بين الأذنين وعمليات إضطراب نظم القلب وأخيراً استخراج الوريد الصافيني من الساق
: عمليات تغيير مسار الشرايين التاجية
يمكن عمل هذا النوع من الجراحات بإستخدام المنظار الجراحي أو باستخدام الإنسان الآلي أو الروبوت لا تستخدم جراحات الفتحات الصغيرة مع كل مريض وعادة لا تصلح مع من أجرى جراحة قلب سابقة أو لديه مرض متقدم في القلب
مميزات جراحة القلب بالمنظار
تقليل مدة الإقامة بالمستشفى
تقليل النزيف بعد الجراحة
تقليل نسبة الإصابة بالعدوى
تقليل مدة النقاهة في المنزل
الحالات التي يمكن إستخدام المنظار فيها
إصلاح أو استبدال الصمام الميترالي
إصلاح أو استبدال الصمام ثلاثي الشرفات
استبدال الصمام الأورطي
عيب الحاجز الاذيني واغلاق الثقوب الواضحة
استئصال أورام القلب الحميدة مثل أورام الميكزوما المخاطية
فوائد جراحة القلب بالمنظار
نسبة أقل من النزيف مقارنة بعملية القلب المفتوح
انخفاض خطر الإصابة بالعدوى عنها في عملية القلب المفتوح
سرعة أكبر في التعافي
العودة إلى الأنشطة اليومية بسرعة أكبر
تكون الندبات الناتجة عن العملية أصغر وأقل وضوح
تصميم خولة عبدالحكيم العتبي 2022م - اشراف د / أنور الوحش
عمليات القلب النابض
عملية القلب النابض
هذه هي التقنية الثالثة من أنواع جراحة القلب ، وتعد هذه العملية واحدة من تقنيات إصلاح الشرايين التاجية
في هذه العملية تجرى الجراحة عن طريق شق الصدر ولكن دون توقيف القلب وتوصيل ماكينة القلب والرئة الصناعية ( وقد يتم توصيلها في بعض الأحيان ) ولكن يتم تثبيت الشرايين التاجية بمثبتات حتى إنتهاء العملية وسبب التسمية بجراحة القلب النابض وهو بقاء القلب نابضاً دون توقف في أثناء العملية
جراحة تغيير مسار الشرايين التاجية بطريقة القلب النابض
عندمـا لا تستطيــع الشــرايين إمداد القلب بكمية كافيــة من الدم ، يلجــأ الأطباء لعملية تغيير مسار الشرايين التاجيــة ، تعد هذه الجـراحة واحدة من جراحات القلب الأكثر شيوعـاً والتي تعمـل على إعادة تدفق الدم إلى القلب – أن جراحة القلب النابض – بعبارات بسيطـة – هي جراحــة لتغيير مســار الشرايين التاجية بينما لا يزال القلب بنض لا يتم إيقاف القلب أثناء الجراحة ولا يتم اللجوء لماكينة القلب الصناعي

https://oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/73373/overview | Rock Cycle Lesson
Overview
The three types of rocks and how they become each through the rock cycle.
Rock types
There are different types of rocks found on Earth. These types are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
Differences
Sedimentary- these rocks form from small particles over time. They may contain fossils, minerals, or other matter.
Metamorphic- metamorph means to change in form. These rocks form by heat and pressure from the Earth.
Igneous- These rocks are the result of cooled lava. They are often a dark color from the fire or heat.
Rock Cylce
All of these types of rocks can be formed from each other over time.
If a volcano errupts, the lava will run down and harden into rock as it cools. This rock will eventually break down into particles and can come back together with new particles. This will form a sedimentary rock. From there, this rock can be burried in the ground. With built up pressure and heat, it will turn into a metamorphic rock.

Is Water Wet?
Overview
This lesson includes a lab that has students differentiating between hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces and is designed for a 7th-grade science class in Indiana. Teacher-developed resources are attached for student use.
Standards
Indiana 7th Grade:
SEPS.3
6-8.E.2
7.ESS.6
Learning Objective
Students will create a hydrophobic surface using principles of nanotechnology.
Materials
Gallery Walk Displays -- found in this document
Sticky Notes (2 per student)
Lab Report (1 per student) -- found in this document
Lab Protocol -- found in this document
Glass slides (1 per student)
Gloves (1 pair per student)
Face masks (1 per student)
Tape (1” strip per student)
Dropper (Class set, 1 per student)
Water (feel free to use food coloring for added effect!)
Krylon Color Master Clear Spray (1 can per 8 students), or
Arrid XX Spray (1 can per 8 students), or
Sigma Coat
Background
Teacher Information/Concepts:
Scientists are always trying to find ways to use technology to mimic features found naturally in nature that could be advantages to our lives.
Nano refers to any substance 1 - 100 nanometers in size.
Hydrophobic surfaces repel water and are waterproof.
We can manipulate the surface of a substance using nanotechnology.
Prior Student Knowledge:
Atoms can interact in a variety of ways to create molecules with distinctive properties.
A meniscus is formed because of the polarity of water.
Possible Preconceptions/Misconceptions:
If students struggle to grasp the concept of hydrophobic and hydrophilic, use an oil and water demonstration. The visualization of how water will not remove oil but dish soap will help students make the connection to the real world.
In addition, if students struggle to understand how hydrophobic/philic materials interact draw a diagram of how molecule of dish soap interact with oil to remove them. The hydrophobic attaches to the oil which is also hydrophobic while the hydrophilic part attaches to the water, essentially creating a soluble substance.
Procedure
Vocabulary: Biomimicry, Nanotechnology, Hydrophobic, Hydrophilic, Ambiphilic |
Hook/Set the Stage: Engage prior learning
Do Now/Gallery Walk: When students walk in they will pick up two sticky notes. When class begins have students walk around the room silently for 5 minutes examining the different displays. There will be laminated papers around the room with examples of biomimicry. Students will write their names on the sticky notes and leave them next to the two examples they find most interesting.
++Displays (first attachment): Lotus Leaf (self-cleaning and repels water), Jellyfish (bioluminescence), Humpback Whales (efficient wind energy), Mosquitos (needles), Dolphins (underwater signals)
After 5 minutes, all students should return to their seats. Discuss which organisms have the most or least sticky notes - why are those properties more or less desirable? Be sure to end the class discussion with the lotus leaf.
Demonstration: Show a pair of Jordans (shoes) to the class that has been pretreated with a hydrophobic coating. Discuss with the class what will happen if you were to pour water or another liquid on it. Pour some water on a towel and have students feel it - is it wet? After confirming that the water will make the cloth object wet, pour water on the shoe. Have some students touch it - is it wet? Discuss WHY the shoe did not get wet. If time allows also demonstrate by pouring some sort of juice or colored water.
Investigate: Examine phenomena/activities/simulations/instruction
While explaining the demonstration, write up the words Nanotechnology, Hydrophobic, Hydrophilic, Ambiphile on the board. Breakdown each word into their root words “Nano,” “Technology,” “Hydro,” “Phobic,” “Phillic/Phile,” and “Ambi”
After breaking down the compounds of each word start by talking about the real world applications of creating something that is waterproof. Have students pair up to brainstorm a list of ideas (longest list wins)! Have the students all stand up and go from group to group each sharing a unique idea. When a group is out of original ideas they sit down.
Next, explain that we will be creating a waterproof object using nanotechnology. To put this size in perspective, show either one of these videos: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC3AcItKc3U) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaGEjrADGPA)
Each student will receive a glass slide, gloves, and face masks.
Referenced lab guidelines (suggested ones at the end of this document, feel free to use your own )
Students should follow this procedure:
- Apply the tape to the glass slide on one side, this will be your non coated side
- Spray the Krylon Color Master Clear on the glass slide
- Spray the the Arrid XX Spray on the glass slide
- Let dry for 10 minutes (answer any questions, example lab report is HERE)
- Remove tape
- Use a dropper to apply some water to the slide
- Put away the sprays, throw away all disposables (gloves, masks, tape, etc.)
Facilitate a post lab discussion with these guiding questions:
- Why was the area of the glass that had been covered in tape, not hydrophobic?
- Why would this method of creating a hydrophobic surface not be good for other glass surfaces like car windows or rearview mirrors?
- How did we create a hydrophobic substance?
STEM Differentiation & Integration:
There are three distinct ways this activity can be adjusted based on limited materials, content, or other accommodations.
- The activity can be done in groups if materials are limited. Groups of 2 or groups of 4
- To explore more of the math, you can discuss the angles required for a hydrophobic, superhydrophobic, or hydrophilic surface.
- Consider having a few copies of the lab report with sentence starters.
Assessment Strategies:
Before this class period, students have already completed the official NSF pre-assessment.
Slides will be evaluated based on their ability to repel water.
Lab Reports will be collected to evaluate learning as it relates to this objective.
The next day, an NSF post-assessment will be given as a take-home assessment.

Go Beyond: Tools for Observing the Night Sky
Go Beyond: Ursa Major, Big Dipper, “The Big Bear”
What is Light Pollution?
Overview
Learn how light plays an important role in what you see and don't see in space. Engage in fun activities learning about light pollution and how the Sun, Earth and Moon interact with one another. Finally we will incorporate the other planets in our solar sytem and learn how they all move about one another in space.
Why is the sky blue?
Teacher:
Have students create their own constellations by poking holes in empty containers and shining a flashlight or other light source through the container. Students could create their own unique constellations or try to recreate those seen in the sky.
Is it easier to see your constellations with the classroom lights on or off? Why?
Have students work together to construct a physical model that simulates how the sun, earth and moon move in relation to each other. Teacher will need to bring Styrofoam balls and wires in for student teams to use.
Building on the previous lesson, have students add to their model the additional planets in our solar system. What are interesting characteristics about each planet? Do all Planets move around the Sun the same way as Earth?
Student directions:
After learning about the different constellations, you will create your own. Using a milk jug, poke holes using the nail to create your own constellation. While holding your jug, have your partner shine the flashlight into the jug. Try it with the overhead lights on and off. Which works better? Talk with your partner.
Using your Styrofoam balls, decide between your partners which will be the Sun, Moon or the Earth. After decorating your chosen heavenly body, practice moving them around each other using the appropriate sequence.
Now we are going to use the additional Styrofoam balls to add the remaining planets. Divide the Styrofoam balls up among the team and decide who is creating each planet. What order do they go in? Do they all move around the Sun the same speed? Using the Earth’s pace as the default, the remaining planets should practice moving around the Sun using “that planet’s” speed. Is it faster or slower? | oercommons | 2025-03-18T00:34:14.046021 | 03/22/2021 | {

Fairy Tales and Other Stories (Interactive Lesson Plan)
Overview
Why work with faity tales when teaching English to children? ( Elementary Education)
Children learn vocabulary in English, but also internalize grammar and, above all, how sentences are formulated correctly. Through the English stories we read or hear, we can practice intonation, but also fluency in the language. And, like any other story (regardless of the language in which it is written), we encourage the habit of reading and creativity of the little ones.
Through this ILP the teacher seeks to stimulate and improve the listening, writting and reading comprehension skills of children.
