... Introduction: The intention of this investigation was to find the most precise and/or accurate glassware. Precision is how close the measured values are to each other, and accuracy is how close the measured value is true to the value. To do this different laboratory glassware was used to measure out density of water. Density is the ratio of an object’s mass (grams) to its volume (mL or cm^3). Therefore once we knew the mass and volume of the water being used then the density was calculated using the following formula: Density = mass/volume This calculated density was then be compared to the expected, theoretical density of water at the current temperature (°c) by using the following percent error formula: % Error = (experimental-theoretical)/theoretical Additionally, significant figure rules are used to ensure accuracy in this lab. With this information on all glassware, it was determined which lab glassware was the most precise and/or accurate. Procedure/Experiment: This experiment required many different kinds of glassware to be used in order to successfully carry out the experiment. The types of glassware and other tools used are as follows: 50mL beaker, buret, electronic balance, 125mL Erlenmeyer flask, 10mL graduated cylinder, pipet, thermometer, and sand. In experiment 1, the accuracy of a 50mL beaker was tested. The clean beaker was first weighed on an electronic balance and the mass was recorded...

...Running Head: WARNING: REPEATING TABOO AND NEGATIVE WORDS IN RSVP CAN CAUSE BLINDNESS. Warning: Repeating Taboo and Negative words in RSVP can Cause Blindness. Perception and Cognition Abstract The effect of emotional salience on perceptual processing was explored using the RSVP experiment paradigm at stimulus speeds of 100ms/frame. 24 students completed 80 trials of three word streams, each containing two target words. Target words were identical for the ID condition and different for the control condition. The words were divided into taboo, negative emotion, positive emotion and neutral words. Results showed that all ID categories showed more Repetition Blindness (RB) than the control condition and that taboo and negative emotion words generated more RB than neutral and positive words. Interestingly, neutral words demonstrated a higher RB than positive emotion words, possibly suggesting the salience of negativity over emotion. Method Participants A total of 24 students comprised of 15 females and 9 males, from an undergraduate second year psychology class took part in the experiment. The mean age was 28.8, and the ages ranged from 19-50. All participants first learned to read and write in English, and 21 also spoke English as their first language. Materials Participants used the lab computers to complete the trials. Each trial consisted of three words, which included the target words C1 and C2 and a filler word in between them. The target words were...

...Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus San Fernando City, 2500 La Union, Philippines ABSTRACT This study focused on the investigation on the predictors of the academic performance in Physics of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus (DMMMSU-MLUC) Laboratory High School Fourth Year Students for the School Year 2011-2012. Factors such as family, student, school and teacher factors were correlated to academic performance. Significant relationships to academic performance in Physics occurred for the four factors namely, Grade Point Average (GPA) in Math, GPA in English, attitude towards Physics, and study habits. The results imply that students’ performance in Physics will be higher if they perform better in English and Mathematics; if they show positive attitude towards Physics; and if they possess good study habits. Among the factors, GPA in Math had the best influence to academic performance in Physics. KEYWORDS: performance, factor, predictor INTRODUCTION Learning (represented by academic performance in this study) of students is not confined in a closed space. Different factors bombard this learning which can either enhance or undermine it. These include family factors, student-related factors, schoolrelated factors and teacher factors. Different theories can explain the learning behavior of learners that may affect their academic performance. According to Cherry (2012, April 12), behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology...

...Women make up 47 percent of the United States workforce, but only 27 percent of the people working in STEM-related occupations are women. The percentage of women working in STEM has grown exponentially over the last century; however, the stereotype that women are not as good as men at math and science is still being perpetuated through a variety of ways. This stereotype, though it may be inadvertently preserved by parents, teachers, and employers, affects society and women themselves in a number of negative ways. The untrue stereotype that men are more proficient in STEM fields than women leads to parental bias, a decrease in women’s confidence in their ability to understand math and science, and employment disparity and discrimination. The...

...Many students that are involved in the arts have been found to experience gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. New National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) research shows that low socioeconomic students who had art experiences in high school were ten percent more likely to complete a high school calculus course than low socioeconomic students with low arts exposure, which is 33 versus 23 percent. Students with access to the arts in high school were three times more likely than students who lacked those experiences to earn a bachelor's degree. When it comes to participating in extracurricular activities in high school, high-arts, low socioeconomic students are much more likely also to take part in intramural...

...VISION STATEMENT Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Vision Statement is to provide schools with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This statement is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day-to-day basis. Mission Statement: The mission of Gardner Newman Middle School is to meet students' needs by providing quality educational and personal growth opportunities ensuring success in our ever-changing world. Our commitment is to guide and inspire students to be responsible, productive citizens, to nurture students to achieve full potential in the classroom, to maximize students' intellectual, artistic, technological, and physical abilities, and to seize every...

...Final paper A huge issue that the United States has is the High School education system. Students have little or no preparation for life after high school compared to other nations which poses a disadvantage when trying to further their education. The United States is one of or the most powerful countries but continually flows short in the educational system. One of the major issues is the lack of the arts within the academic system. They focus today is typically how to take an exam. For example, Florida focuses so much on the FCAT that they typically focus only on English and Math. High Schools keep using this “Teaching to the Test “technique, which only teaches students how to prepare for the FCAT and this narrows the curriculum a lot. This issue leads to the question, “Is the Geography and Math knowledge of an American student as good as European student?” Every year a test is given to every student in High School. This test has basic questions about Geography and it measures the level of every student within their grade. Back in 2010 after collecting back the test from students and grading it, the National Assessment of Education Progress publicized that only a 25% of American schoolchildren passed the test and that only a 20% of 12th graders passed. This is probably one the saddest news America had to deal with when speaking of education. After the news was published to the public, Daniel Edelson, vice president for education with the National Geographic Society...

...ARE THE ARTS IMPORTANT IN EDUCATION? 1. Introduction British fashion, publishing, theatre, film and TV, literature, visual arts and music are internationally respected and renowned for their prestige. People from America to Asia dance to our music, read our books, purchase our art and wear our designer’s latest creations, with London being recognised as the world’s most influential city by Forbes in 2014. The creative sector represents 5 percent of the British economy which is valued at around £76.9 billion and provides more than 1.7 million jobs, as reported by Warwick university. These industries have an impact on us as individuals and adds to our rich heritage by contributing to our British culture. Our arts are constantly being shaped by new trends and our consumer choices are influenced by clever marketing and visual branding. The arts also improve the enjoyment of the environments which we live and work and shape the way in which we are perceived by others around the globe, whilst also contributing to how we view the world. However, the Arts have been left to suffer within the UK educational system in order to accommodate the severe budget cuts and restrictions being hauled at schools and colleges. With more time and focus being placed on academic subjects such as science and mathematics, there is an implication that they are more important. Subjects are placed within a hierarchy with the Arts taking the largest hit, as more measureable subjects are favoured so...

...Students Lag in Math and Science United States high school seniors scored near or at the bottom of a multinational study of student performance in science and mathematics, according to results released on February 24, 1998. Final results from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), said to be the most comprehensive ever, also showed that U.S. students' aptitude for mathematics and science declines as they get older. Conducted in 1995, TIMSS tested student abilities in general mathematics, general science, advanced mathematics, and physics. In general mathematics and general science the Netherlands and Sweden took top honors, while the United States ranked 19th and 16th, respectively, in a field of 21 nations. Top-level U.S. students fared even worse, finishing 15th out of 16 countries in advanced mathematics and placing 16th—dead last—in physics. France and Norway, respectively, finished first in those disciplines. Asian nations scored highest in earlier TIMSS studies of fourth and eighth graders, but chose not to participate in the high school study. United States Secretary of Education Richard Riley called the results “entirely unacceptable” and said they “confirm our need to raise our standards of achievement, testing, and teaching.” Students must be encouraged to “understand the importance of math and science,” Riley said. Only 25 percent of U.S. high school students take physics and only 10 percent take calculus, Riley said. Meanwhile 28 percent of high...

...particularly in disaster mental health studies. In this paper the value of spirituality in providing emotional care to survivors of trauma is analyzed. Why is the value of spirituality in emotional care important to me? Conventional wisdom has held to the notion that boys are better at math than girls. Perhaps, this age old belief was responsible for Mattel the company that produced “Teen talk Barbie” in 1992 to create a Barbie doll that had among its stored phrases, one phrase that said, “Math class is tough!”. This phrase was stored with 270 other girl talk phrases such as “I love shopping” and “Will we have enough clothes!”. The result was that Mattel was soundly criticized and quickly changed the doll’s offending phrase a few months later. In spite of Mattel’s effort to correct a message that verbalized an inherent cultural bias, one wonders if the is any accuracy to the stereotype that associate math being difficult with the female gender and whether math is less difficult for males. Bryner (2007) indicated that women are still outnumbered by men in math science and engineering fields. Tachibana (2010) posited that as much as 90 percent of the engineers in the United States are male. Mathematics is considered a gateway such to the hard sciences....
