(Guskey, 1997, 2001). THE DEVELOPMENT OF MASTERY LEARNING Although the basic tenets of mastery learning can be traced to such early educators as Comenius, Pestalozzi, and Herbart (Bloom, 1974), most modern applications stem from the writings of Benjamin S. Bloom of the University of Chicago. In the mid-1960s Bloom began a series of investigations on the variation that existed in student learning outcomes. He recognized that while Figure 1ILLUSTRATION BY GGS INFORMATION SERVICES. CENGAGE LEARNING

but no contamination. Furthermore, Lyngbya cultured in enriched agar did not grow beyond the area of inoculation. Isolation was also more difficult in agar than in the liquid control medium. INTRODUCTION As early as the 1900s, Lyngbya sp. blooms were documented in the areas of Eastern Moreton Bay and Bribie Island in Australia (Abal & Lawn, 2004). Lyngbya is a genus which is composed of species which are usually inhabitants of the sea. Numerous species reside in estuarine places and in brackish

an example, when algae increase in a huge numbers, it would cause the formation of harmful algal Bloom. Algal blooms happened in marine environments which an algal species reproduces rapidly a large number of algal cells in a short period of time. An Algal Bloom would normally kill aquatic life by blocking the sunlight to the water and or using up all of the oxygen in the water, but a harmful algal bloom would even produces detrimental toxins called saxitoxin. It could cause poison within 30 minutes

rivers color. They noticed that a green film was covering areas of the river and some residents blamed pollution from the factory. This seemed like a reasonable claim since phosphates and nitrates are nutrients that increase algae growth and help cause blooms. So we decided to test if these claims could be true. We set up our experiment by setting up 7 cups, then we labeled them 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, and control. Next we filled each cup with 50ml of algae infused water. Now to act as runoff from the

Looper is just Rian Johnson's third film, and like his previous two films Brick and The Brothers Bloom, he has also this time both written and directed - and he's gotten quite successful from. Although it is a sci-fi/drama/actionfilm, it is made of a relatively flimsy budget, but Johnson has got the best out of his dollars. Calling Rian Johnson for an auteur is maybe just to tighten it, but he shows up with Looper seriously as a filmmaker who has a clear vision of where his film should be pointing

The Common Carp Is this species a producer, consumer, scavenger, or decomposer? What was the original source of the species? Carp originate from Asia but primarily China.

In most countries, carp were introduced for sporting and food such as in Europe, but sometimes carp were imported illegally. In
