Modeling physics presentation
Modeling physics presentationkarynlorang Modeling physics is an inquiry-based teaching method where instruction is organized around storylines that develop conceptual representations into physical models using various representations. The classroom shifts to make students responsible for their own learning through discourse and interactive engagement with physics concepts, developing models through demonstration labs, representations, and whiteboarding sessions for collaborative work and presentations. Socratic questioning by students and teachers encourages further thinking to analyze topics, reason through complex ideas, and uncover misconceptions without direct answers. This approach improves students' understanding of concepts and makes them self-directed learners while increasing classroom interaction, presentation skills, and confidence.

CSW26 - Mastering the KungFu of Writing
CSW26 - Mastering the KungFu of WritingJuhana Nieminen Communication skills workshop 26 (CSW26) 14.09.2013 Helsinki
University students in Finland attend language courses to gain professional and academic
language proficiency. Currently, across all Aalto University disciplines, English is the most
popular language chosen by students. This case study focuses mainly on the experiences
in commenting and feedback given during writing courses offered by the Language Centre
at Aalto University to participants from various fields of engineering, arts and economics.
Feedback rich blended courses have been running since 2008. During these years
valuable information has been collected on the benefits and drawbacks of the various
commenting methods used for providing students with feedback on their writing.
Students produce several reports, essays and other written documents, as a part of their
studies. In language and communication courses, the students often engage in a process
writing approach by creating reports or essays in smaller steps to better support the
learning of writing. Currently, these documents are submitted into multiple electronic
platforms and commented by the teacher either using contemporary tools (pen and paper),
or electronically (word processor and/or commenting/annotation tool). Each of these
systems has their strengths and weaknesses.
Our assumption was that students benefit from personal, detailed and rich feedback and
clear explanations for improvement. This has led to systematic use and development of a
text commenting protocol. The writing teachers using these methods conducted a series of
surveys 2010-2013 given to the students in the course using the commenting tools. The
questionnaires were used to gather students’ perceptions of commenting software for
providing feedback on writing and rich feedback in general. The surveys also indicated that
students had not previously received extensive feedback in their other classes. To address
this need, we participated in designing a new, more flexible and user-friendly tool, known
as KungFu Writing (KFW), for giving feedback on student writing. Since the survey results
also suggest students were overall pleased with the feedback they received and felt it
helped them to improve their writing, feedback has been adopted as a method of teacher -
student communication several other languages.

The agenda of National Education from views of Mahatma Gandhi & Rabindranath ...
The agenda of National Education from views of Mahatma Gandhi & Rabindranath ...mohinisharma28_ymail.com Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore had criticisms of Western education introduced in India. They felt it focused too much on reading and writing from textbooks rather than oral language and practical, lived experience. Both argued that education should develop a person's mind and soul, not just teach literacy. True education meant also learning a craft by working with one's hands and understanding how things operate in order to develop the mind's capacity to understand.

Planning Teaching Sessions
Planning Teaching SessionsJames Giles This document discusses planning effective clinical teaching sessions. It begins by outlining strengths and challenges of clinical teaching, such as time pressures and opportunities for active learning. Common problems are a lack of objectives, focus on recall over problem-solving, and inappropriate teaching levels. The document then covers how doctors teach based on their expertise but lack of training, and how students learn through active processing, context, and experience. Experiential learning theory frames learning as a cycle of concrete experience, reflection, conceptualization, and planning. An example case study applies this theory in a clinical teaching session examining musculoskeletal patients. The document stresses the importance of planning, including anticipating application and reflection, to structure effective sessions for both teachers and learners.

rabindranath tagore on education
rabindranath tagore on educationKamya Thakur 1. Rabindranath Tagore was a renowned Indian philosopher and poet who established an experimental school called Visva-Bharati in 1921 based on his philosophy of education.
2. Tagore believed that education should be centered around nature and focus on developing students' physical, mental, moral, and spiritual faculties through activities like gardening, crafts, and connecting with the community. Formal classroom learning was deemphasized.
3. Tagore's philosophy promoted naturalism and regulated student freedom over an idealistic, teacher-centered approach. He saw the teacher's role as providing guidance and conducive environments for learning through experience rather than bookish knowledge.

Rabindranath tagore.pptArun Andani Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali polymath who reshaped literature and music in Bengal and India. He wrote many novels, short stories, songs, and poems. His most famous works were Gitanjali and Gora. Through his writings, he addressed topics of nationalism, spirituality, and social issues. He founded Visva-Bharati University to educate Indians and promote international understanding. Tagore was awarded the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first non-European laureate, in recognition of Gitanjali and his work renewing Bengali art by resisting strict forms. His works had a profound impact yet remain more widely known within Bengal than outside of it.

YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 5-3-2025.pptxYale School of Public Health - The Virtual Medical Operations Center (VMOC) A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 817 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 97 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003.
The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include:
- Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources.
- Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use.

CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - Worksheet
CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - WorksheetSritoma Majumder Introduction
All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups:
Metals
Non-Metals
Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one.
Physical Properties
1. Appearance
Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper.
Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny).
2. Hardness
Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron.
Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard).
3. State
Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid).
Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid).
4. Malleability
Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable).
Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle).
5. Ductility
Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile).
Non-metals: Not ductile.
6. Conductivity
Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor).
7. Sonorous Nature
Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck.
Non-metals: Do not produce sound.
Chemical Properties
1. Reaction with Oxygen
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
These metal oxides are usually basic.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides.
These oxides are usually acidic.
2. Reaction with Water
Metals:
Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium).
Some react slowly (e.g., iron).
Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver).
Non-metals: Generally do not react with water.
3. Reaction with Acids
Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals: Do not react with acids.
4. Reaction with Bases
Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare.
Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc).
Displacement Reaction
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
Uses of Metals
Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings.
Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils.
Copper: Electrical wires.
Gold and Silver: Jewelry.
Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization).
Uses of Non-Metals
Oxygen: Breathing.
Nitrogen: Fertilizers.
Chlorine: Water purification.
Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke).
Iodine: Medicines.
Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal.
Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.
