Group C

Last summer I partnered with another educator from my school to craft a multisession mini course for Math for America. The course met over a three month period and focussed on teaching educators from the Metro New York area about the symmetries of a sphere using an ancient japanese art form called Temari. I used our organization’s shared digital message board called the small world network to post and share an overview of our course in the spring course catalog and invited 15-20 teachers to sign…

the project, I was fully involved. One of my biggest contributions was keeping records and information from group meetings organized. I took minutes of each group meeting and wrote down every decision that was decided upon the group. With that information, I would later put it into an organized chart or list that made the information more accessible and understandable for the rest of the group. For example, after we decided which characters were being cut from the script and which characters…

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble compound similar to glucose. Although fairly stable in acidic solution, it is usually the least stable of the vitamins and is very sensitive to light, heat and air, which stimulate the activity of oxidative enzymes. A very important function of the vitamin C is to maintain activity in the collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of the connective tissue of the skin, ligaments and bones. Vitamin C plays an important role in the…

When developing a therapeutic working group setting an agenda should be made as a way to transition throughout the stages of sessions for those who live in an institutional group setting (Jacobs, Schimmel, Masson, & Harvill, n.dp.36). To develop a positive group setting, we look to how a group session therapy is divided in to three different stages. Stage one, or the beginning stage can last for a few minutes, to several different sessions. It is during the beginning stage of therapy that the…

In this same study, endurance performance was unaffected, but strength performance was significantly better in the magnesium-supplemented group (Kass, Skinner, and Poeira, 2013). This may mean that strength athletes would benefit, but more studies would have to be examined to be sure. Such findings do coincide with Brilla and Haley (1992 as cited in Lukaski, 2006), with strength increases…

vitamin C that is used by the body as a means of promoting healing of cuts and wounds, as well as boosting the immune system and as such aiding in the fight against infections. Ascorbic acid does not occur naturally and is formed by carrying out a variety of chemical reactions on corn syrup. The chemical formula for ascorbic acid is C6H8O6 and is similar to glucose which has a formula of C6H1206, this closeness in structure allows most animals (excluding humans) to convert glucose vitamin C…

Standardization factor = (mass of vitamin C titrated) / (Volume of iodine solution used) = (125g) / (41.3ml) = 3.03 mg vitamin C/ml iodine solution Experiment B: Vitamin C titration using fresh fruit sample to determine the content The tabulated experimental data for this experiment is shown below (Table 2). In this experiment, the amount of vitamin C was calculated by multiplying the standardization factor with a used iodine solution. That is, the amount of vitamin C in 30ml of 93.54 g…

of CFU from 500 to 62.3 and 63.3 and % of reduction 87.5 and 87.3 %after 2 and 24 hours contact period consecutively (1 & 2) & fig. (1)) and (fig 3 A & B). Meanwhile Nigella sativa oil showed no effect on this organism (1 & 2) & fig. (1)) and (fig 3 C & D). By comparing the antimicrobial effect of these two herbal oils versus our gold standard Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% the later showed superior results on all tested microorganisms with decrease in number of CFU from 500 to 2.7, 2, 2…

I found the article in BBC Science. It talks about Linus Pauling, a 65 years old guy, who is usually adding vitamin C to his orange juice in the morning. This article is very attractive to me. As a person who wants to become a pharmacist in the future, I am like to learn and find out about drugs. Linus Pauling has written many books about the benefits of using vitamins. He argues that the addition of these substances can cure common colds, cardiovascular diseases, cataracts, cancer.…

A . Vitamins and Minerals 1. Explain the difference between fat – soluble and water – soluble vitamins? The difference between fat- soluble is it is needed to keep our bodies functioning, we need up to 35% of fat which is knowing as calories to help maintain: • A good health growth and development. • Energy which fat is used for if the energy that is being put into the body is not being used up it will store as fat which is knowing as weigh gain. • Need to be able to absorb vitamins like A…
