...classify and describe rocks, how rocks are used by people, and the rock cycle and how rocks are formed. They will need to research this information for their chosen rock of study and apply it to their short poem and timeline included in their pamphlet. If students are choosing to create a pamphlet about marble, for instance, they will need to understand that this rock is classified as a metamorphic rock and is often used for sculptures and countertops. Students will also need to describe the rock cycle in order to successfully create a timeline that demonstrates how marble is formed. Students will also need to practice fluency and creative expression skills. Specifically, students need to be able to read accurately, at an appropriate pace, and with meaningful expression. Teachers will want to use the exemplars provided in this cornerstone to support students in applying previous knowledge and skills to this project. PLACEMENT WITHIN THE UNIT Before:...

...Gems are highly prized minerals that have a common appeal to all cultures, and their legacy extends to prehistoric times. As far back as 20,000 years ago, our ancestors, the Cro-Magnon, ornamented their bodies with lavish strings of beads made from ivory, seashells, and gemstones (Cook). As is the custom today, the use of jewelry was determined by fashion and reflected one's rank in society. Malachite is cut into cabochons or slabs to be used in rings, necklaces, brooches, and in art objects (galleries.com). Though not a precious stone, its vibrant colour is highly prized. Possibly the earliest order of copper, malachite is believed to have been mined in a Sinai and eastern deserts of ancient Egypt from was early as 300BCE. Single crystal are uncommon; when found, they are short to long prism. Malachite is usually found as botryoidal or encrusting masses, often with a radiating fibrous structure and banded in various shades of green. The beautiful green crystal has been used since ancient times in inlay work and in carvings of churches and cathedrals as it is found in huge boulders (Bonewitz pg 125). It was also used as a pigment for paint during the 15th century in Egyptian tomb paintings and much later in European art. The Victorians were also great admirers of opaque jewelry stones, and malachite was chosen to be one of their favorites, sometimes choosing it to set in gold. It also occurs as delicate fibrous aggregates and as concentrically banded stalactites (Bonewitz pg...

...Recent Work on Business Cycles in Historical Perspective: Review of Theories and Evidence ABSTRACT This survey outlines the evolution of thought leading to the recent developments in the study of business cycles. The subject is almost coextensive with short-term inacrodynamics and has a large interface with economics of growth, money, inflation, and expectations. The coverage is +-)y.Pry' kg4h v4r 4 ii4 c,1 ,i4 4 tT The paper first summarizes the "stylized facts" that ought to be explained by the theory. This part discusses the varying dimensions of business cycles; their timing, amplitude, and diffusion features; some international aspects; and recent changes. The next part is a review of the literature on "self-sustaining" cycles. It notes some of the older theories and proceeds to more recent models driven by changes in investment, credit, and price-cost-profit relations. These models are mainly endogenous and deterministic. Exogenous factors and stochastic elements gain importance in the part on the modern theories of cyclical response to monetary and real disturbances. The early monetarist interpretations of the cycle are followed by the newer equilibrium models with price misperceptions and intertemporal substitution of labor. Monetary shocks continue to be used but the emphasis shifts from nominal demand changes and lagged price adjustments to informational lags and supply reactions. Various problems arise, revealed by intensive testing and criticisms...

...Igneous Rock Mountains contain ancient mystery that stirs wonder in mortal minds. It is unfathomable to think of the time it took to craft such organic beauty. Long before our existence on the Earth, nature's elements clashed and collided in violent movements. In the beginning stages of creation magma filled the Earth, cooled and eventually solidified. Liquid hot magma can reach temperatures up to 2000 degrees fahrenheit.The formations that occurred from this radical process are known as Igneous rock. These rocks are found all over the world. The two stones that I chose to compose my research are firstly the Intrusive rock called Granite. The second extrusive rock known as Pumice. These compositions that are very important in our lives, it's...

...must be mined and processed oxidized ores contain primarily copper, and can basically be melted down into copper in a smelting procress. A process in mining copper is called open pit mining in which a big hole is dug in the earth that are sometimes a few thousands of yards wide. huge machinery are used to mine copper such as giant earth movers, rock crushers even blasting with dinomites is used to move large chucks of earth. luckly we are in not gunna run out of copper any thime soon. An estimated 5.8 trillionpounds of copper known worldwide, of which about .07 trillion pounds have been mined throughout history. And of that .07 trillion is still in circulation because coppers recycling rate is higher than that of any other engineering metal. Silver, what is it and where it found? Native silver is the purest kind of silver. Native silver is a metal with nothing else added to it. Most silver is found in an ore combined with a mineral. it can be found in igneous (igneous rock is made when magma comes to the earth surface in the form of lava its is supper heated then cooled) and sedimentary ore like galena, it is formed in veins of rock that have very hot water flowing threw and around them. How and where is it mined? Silver is mined using underground mining Most of the time silver is found in ore. The miners goal might not be to find silver but...

...water source, in particular, the Edwards Plateau Aquifer. This Aquifer developed over millions of years’ time, to be the faithful water supplier we all know in Texas. The water is naturally cycled through limestone and still needs some treatment after it has been in the ground in this matrix of limestone rock beneath. This water supplies many towns and cities in the region and spans thirteen counties. It is fed by rivers, creeks, and tributaries along the distance (Eckhardt, 2011). Because of the cracks, faults, fractures, sinkholes, and caves, the rivers and streams too, can be contaminated carrying the pollutants to the recharge zone, therefore it must be checked often for quality control. The Edwards Aquifer Authority, along with other groups, like the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Geological Survey, monitor the aquifer for anything toxic which can cause illness or diseases to ensure safe water is supplied through the wells the aquifer services every day (Edwards Aquifer Authority, 2006). Of course there are all kinds of rocks and rock formations included in the geologic make-up of the Edwards Plateau, but the primary types of rocks involved are limestone and sandstone,...

Then I found a girl, she stopped and asked if I wanted a ride? I nodded. She was on the way to her office, she told me an amazing story, a story of sorrow, cough, dust and worst of'em all, a GHOST. YES, believe it or not, there was a ghost in the city. People called it "The Deadly One". Because it is a crowded city, when people came out from...

...and ban the elders used to cry at. Of course being a child of no experience made me curious and persistent to do things as the grown-ups did. Never did I thought of dangers posed in every action and move I take. One day, I woke up to my usual Saturday morning and had the breakfast my mom prepared. She asked me to follow her to her workplace, a primary school which I agreed. There, my mom let me play with the staff’s children so we wouldn’t disturb them at work. But my mom reminded not to go too near the fish pond in the science garden. Lately, some reports were made that student got stung by bees near the fish pond. The beehives was believed to be at the rock pile of bricks. It was normal for my fellow friends and I to play near the fish pond. That place was shady and cool. We played hide-and-seek game. I hid behind the rock pile of bricks and accidentally toppled the unstable structure. The beehives was destroyed at once and the bees were furious. They swarmed over me and stung me. I was lucky as I wore long-sleeved shirt but my bare foot became the target. My friends and I run to safety, but the stings was so much that I cried in pain. A staff helped to send me for medical treatment in the town. I expected my mom to scold me for being ignorant but she soothed me to stop crying and eased my pain. After medical treatment, we thanked that kind staff for her generousity. I will not forget this accident and be careful whenever I go as the saying goes once bitten twice shy. It...

...“REFLECTION ESSAY” There are lots of things that we ourselves do not know if these are somewhat essential and can be used in our daily activities. For instance, most of us, students, who go to a spectacular university for four to six times a week to hit the books, pin our ears back to the professors, and internalize what they’re teaching, in fact don’t have the idea about the learnings we’re acquiring are can be applied in our real life situations. But it’s not what we think, that even the smallest thing we learn might be as important and significant as the big ones. In these five different chapters that we’ve tackled and talked over throughout the prelim period, I’ve learned certain things which to somewhat extent can be used and applied in real life situations. For example, minerals. Did we know that we use minerals in our everyday activities? Without them, there would be no cars, trains or planes. I wouldn’t be able to clean my teeth or wash my clothes. Clocks, watches and jewelry, tin cans and aluminum foil - all minerals! And of course, I wouldn't be sitting down, looking at a computer, and making and reading this now if it weren't for minerals. Where would I be without light bulbs? If tungsten in light bulbs are omitted? How can I write without a paper which is made up of minerals? How can I put pen to paper without minerals? How can a house or school be beautified without minerals that are used in making ceramic flower pots? How I can draw the things I view on a microscope...

...1 Samuel 007:012 Samuel then took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Jeshanah and named it Ebenezer (meaning, "the Stone of Help"), for he said, "The Lord has certainly helped us!" 1 Samuel 7:12 The church has many markers to show God''s goodness Have you ever received an award? Was the award a special plaque or a trophy? Perhaps it was a certificate or some other token of recognition. The purpose of an award is to recognize and to praise persons or groups that have made noteworthy accomplishments and contributions. They generally contain the name of the honoree, a description of the deed accomplished, a date, and the name of the presenters. Recognition of some accomplishments may get bigger than a mere plaque or certificate. Statues, busts and memorials are erected around the world to note the lifetime contributions of those who distinguished themselves in the course of time or to note the site of an historic event. Whether a small certificate or a towering obelisk, awards have a way of recognizing and marking important moments in time. Tributes usually follow a significant accomplishment. Often those receiving the tribute feel undeserving and are puzzled at the praise they receive from others. We know how to recognize people for their accomplishments, but how do we recognize God when he has helped us? That was the question that puzzled David in Psalm 116:12 when he asked "What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?" David concluded that...
