    Fetal Pig Lab Report

    The primary bit of this lab, we were given the chance to essentially analyze worms and turn out to be more acquainted with the terms of life structures concerning the body areas and positions. The worm analyzation concentrated for the most part on the sexual multiplication part of worms, likely in light of the fact that it is not fundamentally the same as human proliferation. I learned in this lab that worms are not arranged as male or female since a few worms are considered bisexuals and have sexual proliferation organs of both genders. Amid this lab I recognized diverse structures of the worm and their physiological functions. In the second part of the analysis, I got to practically dismember a fetal pig.…

    The first assignment in this course required that I choose the best shape I saw fit to describe my character. “Squiggle” (see Appendix 1) was my choice since it spoke of creativity which is a major portion of my life. Through the utilization of my resourceful perspicacity, I possess reasoning capabilities beyond the calibre of persons within my age group, with the facility to visualize what is required and take the compulsory steps to achieve them. Similarly, it would have been in my best interest to accumulate the different aspects of all the shapes, in an effort to be protean. Nonetheless, during the assignment, I discovered that my time management skill was required, especially since the assignment implied that it was due the following day.…

    Introduction The unusual structure and diverse utilities of the type of proboscis found in organisms belonging to the family Elephantidae (whose living members consist of the African and Asian elephants) afford numerous facets of study both for the sake of greater scientific understanding and for human applications. Each of these functions of elephant trunks has been the subject of detailed study in a variety of publications; therefore, a brief overview of these functions must suffice for this paper. This paper will provide a summary of the basic anatomical structure of elephant trunks, as well as their specific biological and behavioral applications. In addition, this paper will also describe the relevance of elephant trunks to humans in the form of elephant – inspired robotic technologies and the use of elephants to protect civilians from underground explosives.…

    Fred Brooks is the first recipient of ACM Allen Newel Award. This award is presented as a token of honour to the individuals for their contributions in bridging Computer Science with other disciplines. In the article “The Computer Scientist as Toolsmith – II”, Brooks has given the opinion that Computer Science is probably not the best name that is coined for the discipline of computers which deals with solving problems for the users. Explaining the core difference between Science and Engineering, he states that Science is about discovering facts and laws of the universe, but engineering is about creating new things. In Computer Science, we are focussed on creating new things/new solutions, so the discipline can be appropriately referred as…

    In the Pre-K classroom that I observed it consisted of several different centers for the children to participate in, such as: block area, dramatic play, art, library, sand/water table, music/movement, sensory area, finger painting, play dough, and the students got the opportunity to make their own snacks. Not only did the students get to participate in centers, they had the opportunity each day to go outside and play on the playground as well as having an interactive lecture every morning at circle time and when the students sat down at their tables to do their daily worksheet. I believe that the Pre-K class I observed was a mix between traditional teaching as well as constructivism, creating a balance between the two. In the morning during circle time, the teacher would “lecture” the students with the letter of the day, go over the date, months, days of the week, shapes, and the numbers up to the date it currently was.…
