patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.” These words by former President Abraham Lincoln accurately describe the impatient critics of President Obama’s, and subsequently, the Special Operations’ rebalance of forces and focus to Asia. The “strategic pivot” to the Asia-Pacific for Special Operations Forces (SOF) is the best choice in the current global security environment because it will strengthen important alliances, improve regional security, and stimulate domestic…

Introduction The Time Machine and the Sound of Thunder are both science fiction stories. Their central plots are about Time Travel. Compare and contrast these two stories. This assessment has asked me to compare and contrast the stories of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and The Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. In this assignment the differences in language and characters will be compared and contrasted. The genre of the short story will be contrasted with the short novel. The different ways the…

The purpose of this experiment was to understand kinetic and potential energy and verify the Law of Conservation of Energy. Kinetic and potential energy are both forms of energy that usually coincide with each other; potential energy usually changes into kinetic energy and vice versa. While potential energy results from an object’s position or arrangement of parts, kinetic energy results from an object’s motion. Together, the sum of an object’s kinetic energy and the potential energy at that…

Numerous products were then reviewed and utilized in the science labs. Students with visual disabilities from Neely’s (2007) study found the most useful piece of equipment to be the magnification camera device known as Clarity (a camera mounted on a movable arm that captures the picture, magnifies the image, and is displayed on a computer monitor). Clarity was able to assist students with limited vision read small measurements or text on graduated cylinders or thermometers. However, it was found…

Manipulatives use in mathematics education has been at the forefront of conservation when it comes to pertains to learning standards and common core state standards. Manipulatives are mainly used at the elementary level to introduce new concepts in math. They can provide a concrete representation of a number or mathematical equation. Shaw (2002) states, “manipulatives help students develop conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas by representing the ideas in multiple ways”. With the…

In the classroom, I was observing there were two general teachers, one head teacher and one assistant teacher. The two general education teacher worked with other teachers to help the students with exceptionalities. There were wrap-around service workers in the classroom for the students who had emotional and behavior issues. The wrap-around service workers in the classroom were excellent; they were able to work with the students who were emotional and behaviorally disturbed. There were also…

skills affected would be social skills, learning comprehension, memory, navigation and time management. Their social skill that is affected by this is because your child could be struggling in school which would make them feel lower in rank. It would stop them from socializing with other students in school. Their learning comprehension is based on listening. Listening is how they learn. If the classroom is noisy it can distract your child so sitting closer to the teacher can keep them more focus…

Being known as “The Father of the Atomic Bomb” is a great accomplishment. To have this association as well as being known as “The Pope,” “The Prophet,” and “The Admiral” to his associates, an individual must be intelligent and have a background that allowed them to grow and prosper in physics (Latil 113). The man with this honor is Enrico Fermi and without him, who knows what would have happened in World War II. Enrico Fermi had multiple experiences and obstacles in his life, but all of the…

Pangea! It was the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago. According to Alfred Wegener’s theory, long before us humans existed all of the continents used to be one large landmass. Who is Alfred Wegener you might ask? Alfred Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist, and meteorologist born in Berlin on November 1, 1880. I chose to research about Alfred Wegener’s life and his struggles because we are currently focusing on the continental drift theory in science class. He…
