Week 10 Case Study
SUE’S MATH TEST REVIEW LESSON

Sue, a fourth-grade teacher in a rural school district, is preparing her students for the state’s annual mathematics achievement test administered every May. Her students took this test for the first time as third-graders, and those scores showed some youngsters performing on or above grade level while many others were struggling to grasp basic math concepts, operations, and procedures. The state achievement test includes all the main topics in the fourth-grade math curriculum—number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), data analysis/statistics, patterns/relations/algebra, geometry, and measurement—so Sue has taught units on each of these topics during the school year. Given the wide number of topics on the test, Sue recognizes that her students must remember a considerable amount of information, some of which has not been discussed in class for many weeks. She wants to review math operations and problem-solving strategies in ways that will challenge her higher achieving students while not discouraging those still practicing basic math skills. Sue’s classroom has only one Internet-accessible computer, although she can sign up for the school’s computer lab that has enough machines for all of her students. She does have a digital projector and a large display screen.
· • Using the technologies discussed in this chapter, how would you propose Sue integrate technology into her math test review lesson in ways that will promote learning success for all her students?

Will I Compromise My Ethics?

Will I Compromise My Ethics?
After reading and viewing the material for the session on ethics, you should have a clear idea of how culture and ethics are intertwined. Ideally your code of ethics should match the code of ethics that your profession and company/business/organization have. The culture of your organization should mesh well with your code of ethics and the actual ethical behaviors that are exhibited in your organization. To a great degree these codes should reflect the broader ethical standards that are a part of the culture in which you live.
How would you describe the culture in your organization?
Does this culture reflect the ethics of the leadership of the organization?
Do your ethics fit into the ethics of the culture in your organization?
Are there any ethical behaviors in your organization with which you do not agree and if so – are you willing to defy those behaviors? Example?
Have you ever been asked – and refused to do some specific thing that you thought was unethical – Example?
Have you witnessed ethical misconduct at work? What, was it and did you do anything about it?
MUST ANSWER – Do You Think It Pays to be Ethical? Support your answer with a good example.
Limit – one page
Please get in here as early as you are able. I know you are working on your first Homework Assignment — but see if you can take time to read ahead and start posting in the discussion. As usual you are encouraged to participate early in the week in this discussion. Make it a genuine discussion, by participating early and often.
When responding, please remember the rules for respectful online discussion. Please add your own comments as a New Topic.

Flags of our father

Watch Flags of Our Fathers
Flags of our father
Answer both writing prompts

Prompt 1: Summarize the film, highlighting the events that are the director’s main focus.
Prompt 2: A historian once observed that history is what the present chooses to remember about the past. Audiences will leave the theatre with an impression about what happened at Iwo Jima and afterwards, but can a Hollywood film improve the way we understand historical events? What do you think? How does Flags of Our Fathers help or hurt our historical understanding of World War II?

Your answers to these questions are opinion based and you should make specific reference to the film in both parts.

This assignment requires about 500 words (approximately 2 pages, typed, double-spaced, 12pt font.).

Assignment 1: LASA 2—Exceptionality Presentation

In this course, you have learned about a range of exceptionalities in children. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of a particular exceptionality.

The local public school has asked you to give a presentation to parents or teachers about a specific exceptionality of your choice.

The presentation should cover at least two peer-reviewed articles. Select an exceptionality for this assignment and provide the following information in your presentation:

Describe the exceptionality, including its identification and assessment.

At home
From early childhood through transition into adulthood
While developing the presentation, keep in mind individual differences and strengths, culturally and linguistically diverse populations, and ethical or legal issues in identification, assessment, and intervention. Be sure to include detailed speaker notes to accompany each slide to elaborate on the talking points being raised in the slide.

Use the accompanying PowerPoint presentation tip list to assist in formatting the presentation and speaker’s notes. Be sure to include a title slide and a slide with your references. All citations and the reference list should follow APA format. Click here to review some useful tips for an effective slideshow.

ASSIGNMENT

Objectives:
This experiment was designed to examine the different aspects of radiation. That is done by testing two different concepts, Stefan-Boltzmann low and the radiant emissivity of various materials.

Introduction
According to thermodynamics, thermal radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body as a
result of its temperature [1]. What is of interest in this lab, however, is that the thermal radiation
emitted by different objects at the same temperature can be of different values, although this is not
always immediately obvious. The purpose of this lab will be to show quantitatively that the radiation. emitted by four different surfaces is not equal to each other materials ohmmeter, millivolt meter, thermal radiation cube, radiation Sensor, westward Infrared Thermometer.The procedure can be found in Lab Manual. After taking themeasurementswith the radiation sensor, whereas the radiation sensor gave a value in units of millivolts. This was the only addendum to the

Results

From the results it can be seen with relative ease that the radiation emitted by a surface being
warmed by the same light bulb is not the same. The ohmmeter was allowed to reach thermal
equilibrium in each of the above cases, yet the sides did not match up in temperature, hence
they were not emitting the same amount of thermal radiation

Discussion

Although each of the four surfaces of the cube (polished aluminum, dull aluminum, white, and
black were exposed to the same heat source for the same amount of time, the sides did not
emit the same amount of thermal radiation, meaning they did not have the same temperature.
It is not immediately obvious why different surfaces exposed to the same amount of thermal
radiation will not have the same temperature. However, if you think of a mirror, for a moment,
what is a mirror’s purpose? To reflect light; So by extension, it should reflect thermal radiation
to at least some degree. Thus, it will not get quite as hot as something that does not reflect
light. However, everything reflects radiation to some degree; it just comes down to a matter of
how much.

Albedo is what best describes how much radiation a surface reflects. Something with a high
albedo will reflect more radiation than a surface with a small albedo. Thus, if two surfaces are
exposed to the same amount of radiation for the same amount of time, the surface with the
highest albedo will have the lowest temperature. This is confirmed by the data as the polished
aluminum side of the radiation cube is approximately a mirror (it has a very high reflexivity).
One paradox inherent in the above data is that in every trial, the white side of the cube is
warmer is than the black side of the cube. White would seem to have a higher albedo, thus
reflecting more thermal energy, though that does not seem to be the case. Instead, since the
object is white, that means it is absorbing radiation of all visible light, and then must be
absorbing more thermal radiation than the black side. Black is the lack of color, so thus it is not
absorbing any radiation of the visible wavelength. This may not in fact be the case, though it is
an adequate explanation for the observed number.

Conclusion
Different materials exposed to the same heat source for the same amount of time will not
come to the same temperature. It is not immediately obvious from the experiment why this is.
This experiment opens up an odd paradox of thermal radiation. Why is the white hotter than
the black? How can this be explained?
