He then took a track from his train set and hit her in the side to see if she would wake up causing the abrasions on her skin. He got his parents or they found out what happened and…
One other thing Kozol talked about often is the students that were excelling in school, despite being in such a horrible learning environment. The accomplishments of some students, such as Pineapple, are described throughout the book. For example, Kozol talks about one student he met, Anthony.

Stories like these helped Kozol show that there is hope for minority students, even though…

Initially, sand and hydrogen peroxide were added in a test tube to create a mixture. Based on the observation conducted, no reaction was visible (i.e. no gas occurred). In result, the solution did not react because it does not contain the desired enzyme in order to break down H2O2. An enzyme is needed to decompose H2O2 into water and oxygen. With this knowledge, students were able to determine that the results for the rest of the tests did make sense. For example, the solution contained…

Conjoint Measurement BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE To talk about the theory of conjoint measurement, we should already understand the theory of measurement. Conjoint Measurement is an example of fundamental measurement. If there is relationship between set A and set B, and a ∈ A and b ∈ B, we can construct a binary relation aRb. For example, suppose A is a set of squares and B is a set of rectangles. The binary relation aPb holds if and only if you judge the perimeter of a is smaller than b. We can…
