Raising Youth Volunteer Application What are some of your future prospects & how will this opportunity help you reach these goals? RESPONSE: Since I was a child, more specifically fourth grade, I had decided my career, to become an obstetrician-gynecologist. My reason for choosing this considerably unusual career at such a young age is to mainly bring a change in this male-dominated world. When women around the world are being inferior to men in every aspect of their lives starting from birth to…

Purpose: To use Parallax and triangulation to measure the indirect distance between two points. Hypothesis: If a long distance is measured using triangulation then it will produce an accurate measurement. Materials: 1. Protractor 2. Ruler 3. Tape measure 4. Table or desk 5. Paper 6. Pencil 7. Masking tape Procedure: 1. Gather all of your materials 2. Clear off your table or desk 3. Place an object at one end of the desk (image A). Using masking tape, label this point C. 4. From the end…

to be learned if not mastered for this career. “A bachelor's degree is typically required to start out in aerospace engineering. Students who want to become an aerospace engineer should study physics, chemistry, and higher mathematics, such as trigonometry, algebra, and calculus" ("Career Profiles", Page 1). Although, engineering is primarily based off of mathematics and science, there are plenty of subtopics to learn. Considering my love scientific and mathematical concepts and ideas this…

From the very moment I procrastinated, I knew that the only result ahead was a failure. When attending a school you are always told to plan ahead of time by being organized. However, I always preferred handling my academic work at a snail 's pace. Simply said, I procrastinated leaving everything to the last minute. For some people, being under pressure they tend to produce better results, but on the contrary that is never always the case. Through my personal experiences this didn 't necessarily…

Ralph Tyler finished up his work with the Eight-Year Study at the University of Chicago, where he was the head of their department of education (Finder, 2008). While there, he also became the examiner for the university and from 1948-1953, he was the dean of the Division of Social Sciences (Finder, 2008). While teaching at the University of Chicago, he wrote a syllabus for one of his classes called the Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction (Finder, 2008). As Finder (2008) has noted, “In…

The Lens Equation [1] This equation was used in the analysis to find out the focal point of the lens used. This equation can be derived either by using geometry and trigonometry. Figure 1 Ray diagram used to derive the thin lens equation Figure 3 Ray diagram used to derive the thin lens equation In Figure 2 the parallel light ray is shown. Also drawn on are two similar triangles for both triangles the angle shown is the…

The Middle- East even made headway in topics such as algebraic notation, trigonometry, and algebraic geometry , when the Europeans did not. Not only did the Arabs advance in algebra they also found ways of using mathematical induction to prove formulas and theorems. The Chinese also had a hand in mathematics during Europe’s dark…

really convincing performances in most of the practical courses, especially in science and mathematics. As a secondary school student, subjects requiring many calculations and experiments seemed very exciting for me, for instance, math, physics, trigonometry, geometry, and so forth. In contrast, most female pupils were seemingly interested in humanity, literature, and social fields, for most of them did not have the means to flourish their talent in science, technology, engineering, and…

At five years old, I learned how to bake brownies from a store-bought mix. A seeming innocuous discovery, this has shaped my life ever since. Soon after, I learned how to bake brownies from scratch. From this, I discovered my love for cooking. I would cook for family and friends and they would all be amazed, but I kept thinking that there was something more that I could do with this gift. At church, I learned of a school in Haiti that they were funding. This caused me to hold my first lemonade…

These people believe that we have been teaching our youth the wrong things. With the explosive growth in student poverty, teaching things such as trigonometry seem pointless in their eyes. The people suggest that we must have a narrower agenda and address the problems with everyday life (Strauss, 2013). This is however, blatantly wrong. Schooling increases the knowledge students have on a variety of…
