Curriculum and Instruction Variables: 1. This classroom is quite small, containing a smart board and a white board. There were a few inspirational posters that displayed quotes from people such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi and Amelia Earhart. There was also a wall dedicated to the “Picture of the Day,” a warm up activity generally used to initiate conversation or introduce the day’s lesson. Since this is an upper school science classroom, there are several textbooks in the room covering…

previous studies is done to add new knowledge (McMillan, 2012, pg. 36) • Example: I could replicate a study done showing that homework is ineffective in improving students’ academic performance to confirm or disconfirm the theory. 2. Categorical Variable (McMillan pg. 41) • Definition: assigns someone or something to a certain group based on certain characteristics (McMillan, 2012, pg. 41) • Example: Some of the ways researchers categorize is based on age, gender, and grade. 3. Research…

The Amazon River is one of the largest rivers in the world and is essential to animal, plant, and human life in and around the river. For this reason, it is very important to watch the river closely and observe how it acts so we can interact with it in harmony. Since 1903 scientists have been recording annual maximum and minimum water depth above the local average. Observations were fairly until 1926 when the “Drought of the Century” occurred. There was a 50% drop in discharge from the river…

extra-legal variables that, unfortunately, have the potential to play a large role in the sentencing process. Some examples of extra-legal variables include race, ethnicity, and sex, as well as pre-trial release. I believe that extra-legal variables do in fact play a part in determining sentences. Race and ethnicity are two of the most common extra-legal variables taken into consideration and studies support this idea. There are also circumstances in which multiple extra-legal variables are used…

running, for example, one may be required to do short and quick bursts of exercises by running very fast in a short amount of time then followed by rest. Then it will be followed by steady running with a different time rate. So how does highly variable cyclic training contribute to the improvement of your body? The answer is: It helps develop the heart 's ability to cope with your body 's varied demands on physical stress. If you do a "stop-and-go" exercise regimen, the heart pumps faster due…

Explain your methods: I am going to measure academic performance and achievement as my dependent variable. I am going to measure poverty as my independent variable. I will use a Cross-Sectional Survey that will use the nominal and ordinal scales to measure the dependent and independent variables. It will also include dichotomous questions. Sampling: My target population and the sampling frame are children ages twelve to eighteen, in grades sixth through twelfth grade, which are in…

contribution of each mile is $0.76. FHP proposed a price of $2.15/mile that Overland could charge for line haul, fuel surcharge and miscellaneous fees. The variable costs incurred are $.06 for insurance, 0.78 for fuel, 0.01 for oil lubricants, 0.01 for tolls, 0.07 for parts and small tools, 0.44 for hourly wages and 0.02…

In The Goal written by Eliyahu Goldratt, the main character, Alex Rogo, faces a simple yet complex problem of how to increases his plants profitability.

In The Goal, Rogo’s plant is not meeting the demands of its clients and because of that, is not being profitable even through the…

There are two variables that contribute both good and bad things that contribute to help an eyewitness to identify a suspect. These two variables are estimator variables and system variables. Estimator variable are external factors that influence eyewitness testimony. They also show how accurate the recollection of the events is. Examples of a estimator variable would be things such as if the victim and the suspect are of different races. However, estimator variables can not be controlled by…

What is the difference between a fixed and a variable cost? Variable costs can change their original price for a product. Fixed costs are constantly the same, no matter how much output a company produces. A variable cost is a company 's cost that is associated with the amount of goods or services it produces. A company 's variable cost increases and decreases with the production volume. 7. Why would you research the cost of a product before…
