Schools Jackson and Truman both have a band camp and according to the attendance data the two schools showed a spike of absent students on May 20 and the 21st. The students were together on the 15th for planning for the battle of the bands and then again on the 19th for the actual battle. After reviewing the interviews conducted by the heath worker it was brought to my attention that majority of the students were suffering from stomach related illnesses on the 20th and the 21st. The health worker also stated in one of the interviews that it generally takes 3-5 days for symptoms to show up after being exposed to the flu. Also that symptoms of food poisioning usually appears in the next day or two days after eating the contaminated food. So my questions would be: What did the students eat? Where did they eat together? What date did they attend the restaurant? What is the source of the stomach related illness? I would visit the various restaurants in question and take food samples. Also I would have the students examined by a doctor. I would also investigate the activities that took place (eating) during the planning and the battle of the bands.

...The Future of Energy Unit 4 Assignment Kaplan University Cleaster McConnell SC300: Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutation Professor Michael Allen October 16, 2012 According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the fuels Iowans use fall into two main categories: nonrenewable in the form of fossil (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) and nuclear fuels and renewable energy resources (water for hydroelectricity, biomass, wind, and solar). The use of energy is divided into four sectors: Commercial usage is 15%, Residential usage is 22%, Transportation 22%, Industrial 41% Energy, in all its varied forms, is an essential part of every aspect of our lives. It’s the foundation for our economy and our lifestyles. In my home, most of my energy dollars goes to heat my home in the winter and make hot water. During the summer months the dollars spent on heating the home is switched to cooling the home. A small percentage goes to powering appliances and electronics. We use natural gas as a single heat source and all of my appliances are electric including the stove, washer, and dryer. I am very conscious about energy conservation in the home. We adjust the thermostat by lowering it in the winter to 68 and raising it in the summer to 78 by day and 60 and 82 during the evening. We change the furnace filter every 3 months and unplug TV’s, cell phone...
