Post Archive December 2018 November 2018 October 2018 September 2018 August 2018 July 2018 Recent Posts A Parents Guide to Mental Health for College Students Please Dont React Respond The Scariest Panic Symptoms People Dont Talk About Avoiding Holiday Stressors Tips for a StressFree Season Challenging Mental Health Stigma in the Black Community By Hafeez Baoku Jul 27 2018 In the black community there is a negative stigma surrounding mental health Instead of seeking professional help for conditions such as depression and anxiety many in the community resort to selfmedication drugs opioids alcohol etc or isolation in an attempt to solve their problems on their own This issue of masking pain is especially prevalent amongst black men Speaking from experience I know how black men grow up in culture that tells us men are not supposed to cry that we should deal with problems on our own This only enforces the idea that its not okay for us to say we are hurting inside Ive spoken to countless friends who out of fear of being labeled as weak or less than a man dont want to acknowledge or vocalize any of their pains This is true for me as well as there have been moments in my life when I was afraid of sharing my true emotional These are topics I talked about on my show The Roommates Podcast Due to my openness talking about mental health challenges I received countless emails from young adult black listeners who shared with me their struggles in the darkness The more I used my platform to discuss topics relating to mental health in our community the more others felt empowered to speak up and seek help for their own issues This led to my desire to challenge stigma and bring light to mental health in the black community Help Last May I wrote and directed Help a film created with the intention of beginning a conversation about mental health in the black community The film follows the fictional story of a young black man named Raheem who appears to have it all together on the outside but has hidden struggles within Raheem is a successful man living in the Houston area he is loved and respected by his community He has a great career as an oil broker a supportive wife and a large community of supportive friends Though when Raheem is alone you see his struggle with depression Raheem struggles to decide whether he should seek help from a mental health professional When he shares this with his friend Kendrick hes told that black men dont go to counseling This scene is powerful because not only does it reinforce Raheems negative perception of getting help but it also sheds light on the attitude towards mental health in the black community While he is by himself there are thoughts in his head that constantly reinforce everything negative he believes about himself Yet whenever someone asks him what is wrong Raheem says Nothing Im fine and then redirects the conversation with a joke Sadly Raheems story is reflective of many in the black communitymillions of men who are suffering on the inside but are too afraid to reach out for help Lift Up Your Voice This year alone there have been over 68 million black Americans who had a diagnosable mental illness If we are unable to remove the negative stigma surrounding mental health in the black community we are willingly allowing another generation to grow up without access to counseling and mental health improvement resources that can help them live a happy healthy life Out of my desire to create longlasting change in the black community I am using my voice and platform to help others I have heard one story too many of people in the black community struggling in the darkness and I dont want that to continue any longer Anyone regardless of how strong they are or how much they appear to have it together may be struggling with their mental health You are not alone in your pain and you are not weak or less than because you are hurting Its time we reach out and ask for or offer Hafeez Baoku is an author director and host of The Roommates Podcast His work has been featured on OWN Network The Houston Chronicle Fox News 26 Houstonia Magazine and Houston Style Magazine You

in management with a foutune 500 company dominated by white males and a few black women I have struggled for years as my spouses mgt experience is only with military so I have no one to talk to as she is not a good listener I struggle to maintain the positive outlook and often turn to alcohol to deal with my anxiety What else can I do 7312018 62556 PM April Preston I love this article thank you for

Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science 2006 Page 1 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save Executive Summary Most people in this country lack the basic understanding of science that they need to make informed decisions about the many scientific issues affecting their lives Neither this basic understandingoften referred to as scientific literacynor an appreciation for how science has shaped the society and culture is being cultivated during the high school years For example over the 30 years between 1969 and 1999 high school students scores on the science portion of the National Assessment of Educational Progress NAEP the nations report card remained stagnant In addition high school students performance on a different NAEP national science assessment first Since the late 19th century high school students in the United States have carried out laboratory investigations as part of their science classes Educators and policy makers have periodically debated the value of laboratories in helping students understand science but little research has been done to inform those debates or to guide the design of laboratory education Today on average students enrolled in science classes spend about one class period per week in such laboratory investigations as observing and comparing different cell types under a microscope in biology class or adding a solution of known acidity to a solution of Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save these and similar laboratory activities may contribute to science learning the National Science Foundation requested the National Research Council to examine the current status of science laboratories and develop a vision for their future role in high school science education DEFINITION AND GOALS OF HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE LABORATORIES Questions about the value of high school science laboratories stem in part from a lack of clarity about what exactly constitutes a laboratory and what its science learning goals might be For example laboratory may refer to a room equipped with benches and student workstations or it may refer to various types of indoor or outdoor science activities Today and in the past educators policy makers and researchers have not agreed on a common definition of laboratory This lack of clarity about the definition and goals of laboratories has slowed research on their outcomes In addition mechanisms for sharing the results of the research that is availableboth within the research community and with the larger education communityare so weak that progress toward more effective laboratory learning experiences is impeded Conclusion 1 Researchers and educators do not agree on how to define high school science laboratories or on their purposes hampering the accumulation of evidence that might guide improvements in laboratory education Gaps in the research and in capturing the knowledge of expert science teachers make it difficult to reach precise conclusions on the best approaches to laboratory teaching and learning Rapid developments in science technology and cognitive research have made the traditional definition of science laboratoriesonly as rooms where students use special equipment to carry out welldefined proceduresobsolete Rather the committee gathered information on a wide variety of approaches to laboratory education arriving at the term laboratory experiences to describe teaching and learning that may take place in a laboratory room or in other settings While the committee found that many laboratory experiences involve students in carrying out carefully specified procedures to verify established scientific knowledge we also learned of laboratory experiences that engaged students in formulating questions designing investigations and creating and revising explanatory models Participating in a range of laboratory experiences holds potential to enhance students understanding of the dynamic relationships between empirical research and the scientific theories Page 3 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save and concepts that both result from research and lead to further research questions Committee Definition of Laboratory Experiences To frame the scope of the study while also reflecting the variety of laboratory experiences the committee defined laboratory experiences as follows Laboratory experiences provide opportunities for students to interact directly with the material world or with data drawn from the material world using the tools data collection techniques models and theories of science This definition includes student interaction with astronomical databases genome databases databases of climatic events over long time periods and other large data sets derived directly from the material world It does not include student manipulation or analysis of data created by a teacher to simulate direct interaction with the material world For example if a physics teacher presented students with a constructed data set on the weight and required pulling force for boxes pulled across desks with different surfaces and asked them to analyze these data the students problemsolving activity would not constitute a laboratory experience in the committees definition In the committees view science education includes learning about the methods and processes of scientific research science process and the knowledge derived through this process science content Science process centers on direct interactions with the natural world aimed at explaining natural phenomena Science education would not be about science if it did not include opportunities for students to learn about both the process and the content of science Laboratory experiences in the committees definition can potentially provide one such opportunity Goals of Laboratory Experiences In our review of the literature the committee identified a number of science learning goals that have been attributed to laboratory experiences including enhancing mastery of subject matter developing scientific reasoning understanding the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work developing practical skills understanding the nature of science cultivating interest in science and interest in learning science and developing teamwork abilities Page 4 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save Helping all high school students achieve these science learning goals is critical to improving national scientific literacy and preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers Although no single laboratory experience is likely to achieve all of these learning goals different types of laboratory experiences may be designed to achieve one or more goals For example the committee studied a sequence of laboratory experiences included in a larger unit of instruction Students predicted the temperatures of everyday objects tested their predictions using temperaturesensitive probes connected to computers and developed and revised scientific explanations for their results Students participating in the laboratory experiences and other learning activities progressed toward two goals They increased their mastery of subject matter thermodynamics and their interest in science in comparison to EFFECTIVENESS OF LABORATORY EXPERIENCES The committees review of the evidence on attainment of the goals of laboratory experiences reveals a recent shift in research reflecting some movement in laboratory instruction Historically laboratory experiences have been disconnected from the flow of classroom science lessons Because this approach remains common today we refer to these separate laboratory experiences as typical laboratory experiences Reflecting this separation researchers often engaged students in one or two experiments or other science activities and then conducted assessments to determine whether their understanding of the science concept underlying the activity had increased Some studies compared the outcomes of these separate laboratory experiences Over the past 10 years a new body of research on the outcomes of laboratory experiences has been developing Drawing on principles of learning derived from the cognitive sciences researchers are investigating how to sequence science instruction including laboratory experiences in order to support students science learning We propose the phrase integrated instructional units to describe these sequences of instruction Integrated instructional units connect laboratory experiences with other types of science learning activities including lectures reading and discussion Students are engaged in framing research questions making observations designing and executing experiments gathering and analyzing data and constructing scientific arguments and explanations Page 5 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save Integrated instructional units are designed to increase students ability to understand and apply science subject matter often focusing on one important concept or principle while also improving their scientific reasoning interest in science and understanding of the nature of science Students are encouraged to discuss their existing ideas about the science concept and their emerging ideas during the course of their laboratory experiences both with their peers and with the teacher The sequence of laboratory experiences and other forms of instruction is designed to help students develop a more sophisticated understanding of both the science concept under study and the The earlier body of research on typical laboratory experiences and the emerging research on integrated instructional units yield different findings about the effectiveness of laboratory experiences in advancing the goals identified by the committee Research on typical laboratory experiences is methodologically weak and fragmented making it difficult to draw precise conclusions The weight of the evidence from research focused on the goals of developing scientific reasoning and cultivating student interest in science shows slight improvements in both after students participated in typical laboratory experiences Research focused on the goal of student mastery of subject matter indicates that typical laboratory experiences A major limitation of the research on integrated instructional units is that most of the units have been used in small numbers of science classrooms Only a few studies have addressed the challenges of implementingand studying the effectiveness ofintegrated instructional units on a wide scale The studies conducted to date indicate that these sequences of laboratory experiences and other forms of instruction show greater effectiveness for these same three goals compared with more traditional forms of science instruction improving mastery of subject matter developing scientific reasoning and cultivating interest in science Integrated instructional units also appear to be effective in The committee considers the evidence emerging from research on integrated instructional units sufficient to conclude Page 6 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save Conclusion 2 Four principles of instructional design can help laboratory experiences achieve their intended learning goals if 1 they are designed with clear learning outcomes in mind 2 they are thoughtfully sequenced into the flow of classroom science instruction 3 they are designed to integrate learning of science content with learning about the processes of science and 4 they incorporate ongoing student reflection and discussion CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL LABORATORY EXPERIENCES Most science students in US high schools today participate in laboratory experiences that are isolated from the flow of classroom science instruction referred to here as typical laboratory experiences Instead of focusing on clear learning goals teachers and laboratory manuals often emphasize the procedures to be followed leaving students uncertain about what they are supposed to learn Lacking a focus on learning goals related to the subject matter being addressed in the science class these typical laboratory experiences often fail to integrate student learning about the processes of science with learning about science content Typical laboratory experiences rarely incorporate ongoing Several factors contribute to the prevalence of typical laboratory experiences These include a lack of preparation ofand support forteachers disparities in the availability and quality of laboratory facilities and equipment interpretations of state science standards and the lack of agreement on definitions and goals of laboratory experiences Students in schools with higher concentrations of nonAsian minorities spend less time in laboratory instruction than students in other schools and students in lower level science classes spend less time in laboratory instruction than those enrolled in more advanced science classes And some students have no access to any type of laboratory experience Conclusion 3 The quality of current laboratory experiences is poor for most students Page 7 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save Teacher Preparation for Laboratory Experiences Teachers play a critical role in leading effective laboratory experiences By carefully introducing the experiences in ways that are aligned with the learning goals of the science course and leading discussions and answering questions the teacher can support students in linking their laboratory experiences to underlying science concepts By selecting laboratory experiences that are clearly related to the ongoing flow of classroom science instruction the teacher can integrate student learning of both the processes of science and important science content Yet the undergraduate education of future high school science teachers does not currently prepare them with the pedagogical and science Once on the job science teachers have few opportunities to improve their laboratory teaching Professional development opportunities for science teachers are limited in quality availability and scope and place little emphasis on laboratory instruction In addition few high school teachers have access to curricula that integrate laboratory experiences into the stream of instruction although such curricula might help them in improving the instructional quality of laboratory experiences Few high schools support science teachers in improving their laboratory teaching by providing appropriate ongoing professional development welldesigned science curricula and adequate laboratory facilities and supplies Conclusion 4 Improving high school science teachers capacity to lead laboratory experiences effectively is critical to advancing the educational goals of these experiences This would require major changes in undergraduate science education including providing a range of effective laboratory experiences for future teachers and developing more comprehensive systems of support for teachers Laboratory Facilities and School Organization The capacity of teachers and schools to advance the learning goals of laboratory experiences is affected by laboratory facilities and supplies and the organization of schools Direct observation and manipulation of many aspects of the material world require adequate laboratory facilities including space for teacher demonstrations student laboratory activities student discussion and safe stor Page 8 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save age space for supplies Schools with higher concentrations of nonAsian minorities and schools with higher concentrations of poor students are less likely to have adequate laboratory facilities than other schools In addition to less adequate laboratory space schools with higher concentrations of poor or minority students and rural schools often have lower budgets for laboratory equipment and supplies than other schools These disparities in facilities and supplies may contribute to the problem that students in schools with high concentrations of nonAsian minority students spend less time in laboratory instruction than students in other schools The ability of schools to address the pressing need for improvements in laboratory teaching is constrained by the way many schools are organized Often administrators teachers and students become accustomed to routines in class schedules teachers schedules the allocation of space supplies and budgets and teaching approaches When such routines become rigid they tend to reinforce existing knowledge and teaching practices limiting teachers and administrators motivation and ability to try out new more effective approaches to laboratory education For example routines in class scheduling and space allocation may limit science teachers ability or willingness to collaborate with other teachers in Conclusion 5 The organization and structure of most high schools impedes teachers and administrators ongoing learning about science instruction and ability to implement quality laboratory experiences State Standards and Accountability Systems Most states have developed science standards to guide instruction and largescale assessments to measure attainment of those standards These standards could be used as flexible frameworks to guide schools and teachers in integrating laboratory experiences into the flow of instruction in order to help students master science subject matter while also developing scientific reasoning and advancing other learning goals However this rarely happens Instead state and local officials and science teachers often see state standards as requiring them to help students master the specific science Page 9 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save topics outlined for a grade level or science course When they view laboratory experiences as isolated events that do not contribute to mastery of topics and science class time is short laboratory experiences may be limited For example research on integrated instructional units has shown that engagement with laboratory experiences and other forms of instruction over periods of 6 to 16 weeks can increase studentsmastery of a complex science topic including the relationships among scientific ideas related to that topic But teachers who try to cover an extensive list of science topics included in state science standards within a school The interpretation and implementation of state science standards may also limit attainment of the educational goals of laboratory experiences in other ways When state standards are seen primarily as lists of science topics to be mastered they support attainment of only one of the many goals of laboratory experiencesmastery of subject matter Some state standards call for students to engage in laboratory experiences and to attain other goals of laboratory experiences such as developing scientific reasoning and understanding the nature of science However assessments in these states rarely include items designed to measure student attainment of these goals Conclusion 6 State science standards that are interpreted as encouraging the teaching of extensive lists of science topics in a given grade may discourage teachers from spending the time needed for effective laboratory learning Conclusion 7 Current largescale assessments are not designed to accurately measure student attainment of the goals of laboratory experiences Developing and implementing improved assessments to encourage effective laboratory teaching would require large investments of funds WHAT NEXT RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE LABORATORY EXPERIENCES Laboratory experiences have the potential to help students attain several important learning goals including mastery of science subject matter increased interest in science and development of scientific reasoning skills That potential is not being realized today The committee does not recommend any specific policies or programs to enhance the effectiveness of laboratory experiences because we do not consider the research evidence sufficient to support detailed policy prescriptions A serious research agenda is required to build knowledge of how Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save various types of laboratory experiences within the context of science education may contribute to specific science learning outcomes Research partnerships may be the best mechanism to carry out this agenda building the knowledge base for improvements in laboratory teaching and learning Specifically we suggest that teachers researchers scientists and curriculum developers work together to answer the following questions Addressing these questions will help to guide schools education policy makers and researchers in developing appropriate responses to the findings and conclusions in this report Assessment of student learning in laboratory experiences What are the specific learning outcomes of laboratory experiences and what are the best methods for measuring these outcomes both in the classroom and in largescale assessments Effective teaching and learning in laboratory experiences What forms of laboratory experiences are most effective for advancing the desired learning outcomes of laboratory experiences What kinds of curriculum can support teachers in students in progress toward these learning outcomes Diverse populations of learners What are the teaching and learning processes by which laboratory experiences contribute to particular learning outcomes for diverse learners and different populations of students School organization for effective laboratory teaching What organizational arrangements state and district policy funding priorities and resource allocation professional development textbooks emerging technologies and school and district leadership support highquality laboratory experiences most efficiently and effectively What are the most effective ways to bring those organizational arrangements to scale Continuing learning about laboratory experiences How can teachers and administrators learn to design and implement effective instructional sequences that integrate laboratory experiences for diverse students What types of professional development are most effective to help administrators and teachers achieve this goal How should laboratory professional development be sequenced within a teachers career from preservice to expert teacher The available research literature suggests that laboratory experiences will be more likely to help students attain science learning goals if they are designed with clear learning outcomes in mind thoughtfully sequenced into the flow of classroom science instruction and follow the other instructional Page 11 Suggested Citation Executive Summary National Research Council 2006 Americas Lab Report Investigations in High School Science Washington DC The National Academies Press doi 101722611311 Save design principles identified by the committee These design principles can serve as a guide to research development selection and implementation of high school science curricula They can also guide improvements in the undergraduate science education of future teachers and professional development of current science teachers The committee envisions a future in which the role and value of high school science laboratory experiences are more completely understood The state of the research knowledge base on laboratory experience is dismal but even so suggests that the laboratory experiences of most high school students are equally dismal Improvements in current laboratory experiences can be made today using emerging knowledge Documented disparities to access should be eliminated now Systematic accumulation of rigorous relevant research results and best practices from the field will clarify the specific contributions of laboratory experiences to science education Such a knowledge base must be integrated with an infrastructure that supports the dissemination and use of this knowledge to achieve coherent policy and practice Improving the quality of laboratory experiences available to US high school students will require focused and sustained attention By applying principles of instructional design derived from ongoing research science educators can begin to more effectively integrate laboratory experiences into the science curriculum The definition goals design principles and findings of this report offer an organizing framework to begin the difficult work of designing laboratory experiences for the 21st century

10 totally awesome facts about turtles Check out these turtally mad facts about turtles Here at NG Kids were turt ally mad about turtles thats why weve put together these ten terrific turtle facts These magnificent creatures come in all shapes and sizes and live in a number of different environments They all belong to a group of reptiles called Testudines which includes turtles tortoises and terrapins From giant slowmoving landdwelling tortoises and snappy terrapins basking in their freshwater lagoons to the graceful strokes of a sea turtle gliding through our oceans check out our ten totally awesome turtle facts below Turtle facts 1 Turtles belong to one of the oldest reptile groups in the world beating snakes crocodiles and alligators 2 These creatures date back to the time of the dinosaurs over 200 million years ago woah 3 Turtles are easily recognised by their bony cartilaginous shell This supertough casing acts like a shield to protect them from predators some turtles can even tuck their head up inside their shell for extra protection 4 Just like your bones a turtles shell is actually part of its skeleton Its made up of over 50 bones which include the turtles rib cage and spine Did you know that we have a FREE downloadable Sea turtle primary resource Great for teachers homeschoolers and parents alike 5 Contrary to popular belief a turtle can not come out of its shell The turtles shell grows with them so its impossible for them to grow too big for it 6 What a turtle eats depends on the environment it lives in Landdwelling turtles will munch on beetles fruit and grass whereas sea dwellers will gobble everything from algae to squid and jellyfish 7 Some turtles are carnivores meat eaters others are herbivores plant eaters and some are omnivores a mixture of the two Many baby turtles start life as carnivores but grow to eat more plants as they mature 8 Turtles are amniotes they breathe air and lay their eggs on land although many species live in or around water 9 These coldblooded creatures have an incredibly long life span The oldest ever recorded named Tui Malila of Tonga Island passed away at the grand old age of 188 10 Sadly many species of turtle are endangered 129 of approximately 300 species of turtle and tortoise on Earth today are either vulnerable endangered or critically endangered according to the IUCN Threats include loss of habitat poaching and the illegal pet trade What do you think of our turtle facts Let us know by leaving a comment below 1478 Likes COMMENTS alfie the turtel is soooooooooooooo cute Turtles I

These turtle facts are indeed turtally awesome Jenny Its jenny again I also wanted to add that I think what your doing is great Your spreading awareness about endangered animals and I think that is amazing because animals cant talk and they have no way of protecting themselves like saying stop endangering our species by littering in the ocean and i think you doing that is really sending a message to people I love turtles and I didnt even know some of them are endangered and now I know that for example Jenny Love this page it is so easy to use and great for kids with its bright colours and cool fonts You should add more quizzes that are longer a suggestion is maybe like what type of cat are you I know National Geographic is a very respectable company but maybe you could just do that

bring you to Effigy Mounds National Monument where you can walk among 4000yearold effigies of birds and bears left behind by prehistoric Native Americans Then continue south along the county roads
