...Advancement of Weather Forecasting Weather forecasting began with the first humans realizing that they could determine what conditions might be, based on what they saw in the sky. Although some "folk" sayings about weather have been validated, we have come a long way from those early days and understand weather better now than we ever have. Over two thousand years there have been many advancements in weather forecasting but there have been certain advancements deemed more major to weather forecasting than others, such as the invention of the hygrometer, radar, and barometer. “In the fifteenth century, Italian artist and scientists Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) invented the hygrometer (pronounced hi-GROM-e-ter), an instrument that measures atmospheric humidity (moisture in the air).” Leonardo gave us an instrument that has been further refined and today’s hygrometers are also used in some incubators, saunas, humidors and museums. They are also used in the care of wooden musical instruments such as guitars and violins which can be damaged by improper humidity conditions. In residential settings, hygrometers are used to aid humidity control (too low humidity damages human skin and body, while too high humidity favours growth of mildew and dust mite). While modern electronic devices use temperature of condensation (the dew point), or changes in electrical capacitance or resistance to measure humidity differences the hygrometer will always be the isntrument that paved...

...tried to use the newsreaders approach by explaining what our objectives are at the beginning and what we will learn, then to explain what we have learned so far in the middle of the session and what we have learned on the whole at the end of the session. I was effective with explaining this at the start and middle but towards the end of the training I was conscious on time and unfortunately missed the summary part out. For the Kinetic learners in my group I made sure we had an interactive and simple case study at the end which I also used as my barometer on what the whole group have learned. By using this and asking everyone to complete a personality test half-way through, helped me to emphasise my messages to the kinaesthetic learners. The structure of my presentation was to start with the four main personality types moving onto a more detailed description of these and then finally how to communicate with them, this assisted the learning as everyone could see a clear...

Here by using my personal traits in this report I am going to describe the benefits and all aspect of personal and professional development impact on our life. Nowadays the need of personal and professional development is universal whether they have different profession. Professionals mainly increase their knowledge and their experience in professionalism over the aspects of their work based on current research based practice. According to my point of view higher education study is not about increasing the book knowledge and gaining critical and analytical knowledge of respective subject but it is more important the applicability of the knowledge which is mainly gain by practical knowledge. In present scenario job are not longer for life . at this time knowledge and skill are increasing at very fast rate where we have to adaptable and flexible according to the needs.

...What Is Your Learning Style? What is a learning style? A learning style is the way an individuals learns. To understand a learning style, consider tasks you have learned to do well, and then consider other tasks that tend to be difficult for you. Everyone has a variety of learning styles, which is their unique approach to learning. To find out what learning styles you possess, take the “Learning-Style Questionnaire.” When I took the questionnaire, it identified different aspects of my learning styles, how I approached the processing and taking in of information and gave me a better insight into myself overall. The majority of the results from the questionnaire were refreshingly accurate. I related to the results not only in a classroom environment, but also as a lifestyle barometer following me throughout my daily interactions. The portions of the questionnaire that did not accurately describe me were based on different settings interacting with completely different mediums and under different circumstances. I agree with the spatial learner aspect of the results. I experience it first hand when I feel the need to buy construction paper, scissors, glue and markers to create tangible objects driving home the workings of networking devices. Or, I realize my propensity as a visual learner, when I go to the video library or attend workshops on the step by step process of how to create culinary dishes. In part five of the questionnaire, I disagree with my low creative score...

...Early Childhood Environment The Nebraska Department of Education and the Iowa Department of Education (1994) describe an appropriate learning environment for the young child: "The primary learning environment provides time and opportunities for children to experience and respond creatively to their world. The learning environment is social in nature, providing a secure and stimulating climate for all children. It provides time and opportunities for children to take appropriate risks and to explore and investigate their world. Children have experiences which encourage them to interact with others, to develop interpersonal skills, and to work and learn cooperatively." (p. 3) Lombardi (1992) notes that the early childhood environment should be based on developmentally appropriate practice: "Programs for young children should not be seen as either play-oriented or academic. Rather, developmentally appropriate practice, whether in a preschool or a primary classroom, should respond to the natural curiosity of young children, reaffirm a sense of self, promote positive disppositions towards learning, and help build increasingly complex skills in the use of language, problem solving, and cooperation." Effective Grouping Practices An important organizational issue in early childhood education is the grouping of children. Traditionally, children have been grouped by grade-level designations according to age and ability. Many effective early childhood programs do not follow this...

...Lecture Instruction in Teaching Science: Its Effect on Pupils’ Performance. II. Rationale Over the years, schools have always been concerned with how to come up with effective teaching-learning experiences for the pupils. In an attempt to attain this goal, the teacher is expected to possess a thorough knowledge of the criteria of good teaching and the mastery of the subject matter to be taught and a broad knowledge of various teaching approaches/ strategies in teaching. In teaching subject like science, a teacher should choose a strategy where pupils develop their ability to think, act and organize knowledge. One of the approaches that is strongly supported and highly recommended in teaching science is the discovery approach. This method helps pupils find solutions and answers to their own questions by way of gathering pieces of evidence but are valid and reliable and draw their own generalizations and conclusions. The pupils learn by inquiring about something; measuring, weighing, sorting out information and building their interpretation about the problem. They also employ such processes as analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating the data and information to discover concepts by themselves. With this method, pupils become more independent learners capable of learning on their own. III. Statement of the Problem What is the effect of using discovery approach versus traditional textbook and lecture instruction in teaching science on pupils’ performance...

...I am extremely happy and surprised about the results I received on the personality quiz. The first career that came up on the interest profiler was Medical Assistant. The next were a Social & Human Service Assistants, Pharmacy technicians, registered nurses, secretaries and administrative Assistant. Most of everything that was listed was what I was looking into. I was looking into going to school for Social & Human Services at Penn State but I changed my mind quickly because that wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I was looking at a Pharmacy Technician but that wasn’t exactly in my mind field either. I was stuck on Medical Assistant but couldn’t find a school that allowed me to do the classes online while I could work and attend my clinical at a hospital or wherever they are held. I finally stumbled upon Kaplan and so glad I did. That is why I am so surprised from the interest profiler that Medical Assistant was listed first. Since I do want to be a pediatrician later down the road I know I am in the correct career filed to obtain that career. Some skill sets that are listed for a medical assistant is everything I excel in. The basic skills consist of listening to other without interrupting and asking good questions. I also love talking to people which is another basic skill for MA. I am a very social person so I know I will excel in the basic skills of a MA. I did however, notice that Medical Assisting consist of a great deal of verbal communication. I do...
