EXAMPLE POSTER

biology discussion

Question Description

Our focus this week is on ecology. Ecology is the study of interactions among organisms and between organisms and their physical environments. For your primary post, respond to one of the following three topics. Also, reply to at least one fellow student on any topic.

Topic 1 : Keystone Species. Watch the video entitled “Some animals are more equal than others…” (1)* Then completely describe the concept of a keystone species, giving specific examples from the video.

Topic 2 [articles]: Shrinking Red Knots. Read two of the following three articles about shrinking Red Knots (2)*, (3)*, (4)*, or research additional information on your own. Then, address the following issues:

  • (a) Explain how the lifecycle of the Red Knot depends on hatchlings emerging at the same time as the insects hatch.
  • (b) What are the long-term ramifications of having a mismatch between the bird hatch and the insect hatch?
  • (c) Of the two articles you read, which of them do you feel was most informative? Why?

Topic 3 [research]: Biomes. The term “biome” is described in the textbook. For this topic, describe the biome where you grew up (or where you currently live). Identify your location, the biome of the region, and describe the major characteristics of that biome. Add enough detail and commentary from your own experience. If you’re really ambitious, you could consider looking up the EPA “ecoregion,” which will give additional details about your region.

6 step scientific reasoning and programing

Question Description

it is an assignment that needs a complete 6 step scientific reasoning choosing among theortical or causal model using an appropriate article online , here is the requirement:

You may work alone, or in a small group (from 2-4 people). The assignment is to write a report of a scientific episode (like the exercises at the end of each chapter), and then to analyze the episode you’re reporting on using the appropriate 6-step program (theoretical, statistical, or causal). I recommend basing your report on an article found in the science section of a popular newspaper or magazine: Scientific American, The New York Times, Psychology Today, etc. While you can use a news article as the basis for your own report, the report you turn in needs to be written entirely by you (and/or your group). You may need to dip into the relevant scientific paper(s) to pull sample sizes, sample frequencies etc. Whether or not you’re working in a group, every student must submit an assignment to Canvas. (If working in a group, please list each group member’s name and SID# on the assignment.) It is also required to turn in a copy of the article(s) you base your report on. It’s not permitted to use one of the reports discussed in class, or in the book. Your grade will be based on the quality of your report and the correctness of your six-step analysis. You should aim for at least one page in length. Grammar, spelling, and style will count. Use the reports in the book as models. One last word of advice: success on this project requires that you pick an episode that you’re able to provide a good analysis of. As many episodes in science use sophisticated procedures that we have not learned how to evaluate, it may be in your interest to choose a simple episode. Best of luck!

Watch Assigned Videos in MCN.Master Clinician network

Question Description

The first assigned MCN video is Shane. Shane is 8 years 8 months old. He began speech therapy at age 4 with multiple misarticulations. He has remediated all sounds except the /r/ sound. Shanes articulation treatment includes traditional articulation therapy techniques and oral motor exercises.

Notice how Molly reviews with Shane the purpose of the activities. She reinforces correct productions in spontaneous speech as they come up.The use of the sucker appears to help his awareness of where his tongue needs to be for correct productions. Molly incorporates his school work into the session by having him identify /r/ words as he reads his report. Our focus is not to discuss the treatment methods at this point but try to align our Speech Sound Disorder definitions with what you are seeing. Where does he fit?

After you watch, answer the following questions within MCN

For the 2nd video you will watch Fox. Notes from clinician. I recently started speech therapy with three little boys. All were late talkers. The youngest, WL., was two years, four months, the next, Fox., was 2 years, 8 months, and the oldest, JJ. was 3 years, two months old. The little boys began speech therapy within three months of each other. I saw each boy by himself with a parent watching. The boys demonstrated receptive language within age-appropriate expectations but were all well below age-level expectations in sentence length, speech intelligibly, and in their ability to imitate sounds, single syllables, and especially two syllable phrases. The first two were not really talking. W. was using just a few single words and was relying on gestures, vocal expression, and his parents to make his needs known. F. was using 10 to 20 fairly clear single words but had really no clear or useful two-word utterances.

After you watch, answer the following questions within MCN

BEHS – WKFR – Dis Stu – Applied Project

Question Description

Applied Final Project

For this assignment, write a paper that involves either extensive interviews with a person with a disability or an application of the principles of this course to at least two current events involving disability and/or people with disabilities. In this paper, you will integrate information from readings and what they learn from the interviews or additional readings. The paper will synthesize academic material with the experiences of a person(s) with a disability. A brief proposal for final project that provides the subject to be discussed, or the person to be interviewed or the books to be utilized and including some the references that will be cited in-text (see attached labeled “Proposal for Applied Final Project“);

Comments and feedback about the Proposal:Be sure to this is a good proposal and a good title. The references will support your paper very well but you should also to add some of the modules we discussed in class that are relevant to the title. Ex. social model of disability, UD, and ADA, etc.

Please let me know if you need additional information from the course work to help address the professor’s comments.

Format Requirements for Applied Final Project:

  • Font = 12 point; Arial or Times New Roman. Line spacing 2.0. If you do not adhere to this format, points will be deducted.
  • The paper will be 8 – 10 pages in length not including the abstract or references.
  • Please use in-text citations in American Psychological Association (APA) style, as shown in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
  • List all documents used in a bibliography at the end of your paper, and follow bibliographic formatting as shown in the APA style guide mentioned above.
  • Be sure to use appropriate language; do NOT use colloquial language; this is an official written assignment.
  • Grammar and spelling are important to this assignment.

Volcanic Activity Lab Report

Question Description

Don’t forget to begin your lab with a cover sheet and an introduction.

For this report, answer each discussion type question with one or two paragraphs that provide the answer with justification. For numerical answers, give the number and how it was determined (where it was found online, show calculations, etc).

1) What is effusive volcanic activity and how does it help planets to form their crusts?

2) Find the radius and mass of Mercury. Using the search engine of your choice, determine how long ago Mercury ceased to be volcanic. As a result, roughly how long was Mercury volcanic?

3) Find the radius and mass of Mars. Using the search engine of your choice, determine how long ago Mars ceased to be volcanic. As a result, roughly how long was Mars volcanic?

4) Find the radius of both Venus and Earth and give the average of these two values. Repeat for the mass of both Venus and Earth. Based on your answers to questions (2) and (3), are you surprised that Earth and Venus are still volcanic? Why or why not?

5) What type of volcano is Olympus Mons? How did it form? What is the height of Olympus Mons?

6) What is the tallest volcano on Earth? Explain how plate tectonics results in smaller volcanoes on Earth even though Earth has been volcanic longer than Mars. You may wish to consider the formation of the Hawaiian Islands to help you with this question.

7) Research how the Tharsis Region on Mars formed. How did the lack of plate tectonics lead to such a violent event?

8) Consider your answers to questions (6) and (7). Give your opinion as to whether or not Mars’ habitability is affected by these events. There is no right answer, but you must explain why you gave the answer you did.

Finally, don’t forget the conclusion.

Biology assi 8

Question Description

After learning about several ways in which our everyday actions impact climate change, choose one action to conduct more research on and create a PowerPoint presentation to tell us more! Use the unit material and reliable online resources to gather more information.

There are several ideas with information throughout the unit but there is even more information out in the world! Think about what you do every day, and how the activity uses energy or natural resources. Think about a product you buy—how it was made, what natural resources were used to make it? You can also do a quick google search of “everyday activities that effect the environment” and start reading some articles for more ideas.

Remember to use reliable sources from the Internet. There is a lot of misinformation out there and finding reliable information can be difficult.

Your presentation must include:

  1. What everyday activity or product have you chosen to present? Why did you choose this activity or product? Why is it important?
  2. Connect the activity/product to its impact on the environment and climate change. How does doing the activity or making the product use natural resources, disrupt habitat, impact wildlife or other effects on the environment?
  3. Report data and statistics, with references, on how this activity/product effects the environment.
  4. What can people do to decrease the activity/product’s impact on the environment?

Be sure to follow the formatting and guidelines provided below:

  • Include at least three visual aids.
  • Include three reliable references, and at least one source must come from the CSU Online Library.
  • Use bulleted information on slides (five lines or fewer).
  • Include details in the speaker notes (more information that you would say during an actual presentation).
  • Include a separate title slide and separate reference slide.
  • Use an appropriate font and background.
  • Include at least 11 slides, but not more than 15 slides (not counting your title slide and reference slide).
