Big Idea: 1 Making connections during lessons in any subject are a huge benefactor for students of all ages, but especially beneficial to those of a younger age. There are many different ways you can make connections throughout lesson plans. It may be just comparing a situation to a student’s life, or it may be allowing the students to identify with your topic of interest by role-playing with them. The big idea of this lesson plan is “Making Connections.” I will be incorporating the two…

ceiling covered in Styrofoam cups assembled together so intricately and catching the light so meticulously that the material used looks far more advanced than an everyday manufactured item. Imagine a giant cube of toothpicks being held together by just the weight of the other surrounding toothpicks, causing it to be so fragile and vulnerable yet so sturdy at the same time. Imagine a plethora of metal Slinky’s intertwined and entangled in such a way it looks as though they are wrestling with…

For the brain awareness activities for the library, we have six activities prepared for the event. For my activity, it is building a cell neuron out of candy. During the activity, I will teach the kids the basic parts of a neuron such as, dendrite, cell body, myelin, axon and axon terminal, and their functions. While the kids are building each part of the neuron, I will explain what part their building and explain what its function is. The kids will also have a handout to look at while building…

adds the benefit of the flavor enhancing the smell. Some seniors find that carrying a small vial of peppermint or cinnamon oil does the trick. For a special treat, ask a home health aide to soak a number of toothpicks in cinnamon oil and then put them in a sealed vial. Chewing on a toothpick is fun, good for the teeth, and the cinnamon oil creates a spicy flavor and strong scent to give that extra boost of…

balls are cooling, take the white chocolate and break it up and put it into a pot. Set the pot on the stove and put the stove eye on medium and let the chocolate melt. Once the chocolate is melted all the way, take the Oreo balls and stick toothpicks through the center of the Oreo balls. Take the Oreo balls and dip them in…

Chromatography Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to use chromatography to separate and purify organic compounds. There are many different types of chromatography but most depend on the principle of adsorption. The two important components of chromatography are the adsorbent and the eluent. Adsorbents are usually solid materials that will attract and adsorb the materials to be separated. The eluent is the solvent, which carries the materials to be separated through the adsorbent. After being…

Mix together the unknown stock culture into the hydrogen peroxide drop. Observe the absence or presence of bubbling. KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) Test: Place a drop of 3% KOH on a slide. Use a toothpick and transfer a good amount of the bacteria to the droplet of KOH. Stir it together. Raise and lower the toothpick off the slide to observe the results. Obligately aerobic organisms will grow on top but not in the stab. Motility Agar: Obtain a motility agar tube. Using an inoculation pick stab 2/3 of…

What does one see? What can be said that any person interprets when they observe an entity? The problem of visual perception is a very largely debated topic in philosophy. How is it that you can see an object, can it truly be called sight? Such questions are answered through a myriad of theories such as the argument from hallucination, but namely, the idea of sense-datum is prevalent in the discussion. Sense-datum is a theory that visual perception is based on having a relation to an object or…

myself would leave our weekly visits. His sharp whiskers and toothpick coming out of the side of his mouth gave an odd sense of comfort as he nuzzled our cheeks with his own. He had smoked for over 15 years. After multiple, frustrating arguments he abandoned his addiction cold turkey in replacement for the never absent toothpick in the corner of his mouth. In the six years I knew my grandpa, I had never witnessed him without his toothpick, not even to eat. He was the father to my mother, more of…

painful that would be. To pull out a tooth, they would usually dig it out, have you bite on a wooden board and let it crack, or punch it until it falls out. Now, we also have access to things like toothpicks. Back then the lower level would use wooden sticks while the upper classes actually had toothpicks made out of gold or…
