Third Grade Students

For teaching third grade students, I would use games in order to introduce the concept of renewable energy.

For third grade students, they should have the idea about the sources of stored energy such as fuel, batteries and food (Aquarium of the Pacific 1). They also have the idea about the concept of converting energy into many forms. For example, energy from the sun or solar energy could be converted into stored energy using photosynthesis. The ...

Zoos are an important and highly valued cultural institution of the civilized world; the 10,000 zoos found around the world are often claimed to be responsible for many of the conditions by which we learn about wildlife, ecology and a number of other attributes (Paskesen, 2014). To that end, the idea of releasing animals from zoos would change a fundamental aspect of our civilization, particularly regarding the welfare of animals. However, given more recent, modern concerns about the welfare of animals, and the reevaluation about the utility and benefits of zoos as a sanctuary for endangered species, it may be necessary ...

This technique imitates the behavior of marine animals while detecting food and enemies among other functions for example the right whales. After the sonar gadget ...

The hydrometer is a device used in the direct evaluation of the specific gravity of a particular liquid. The hydrometer was invented by Antoine Baume, chemistry professor at Ecole de Pharmacie in the year 1768. Baumie invented two hydrometers; one measuring fluid denser than water and the other one for liquids less dense than water. The hydrometer is usually made of a thin glass tube which closed at both ends (Holmes, p.156). One of the ends is distended into a bulb which contains mercury or fine lead shot which enables the device to uprightly float in a fluid. The glass tube has a scale calibrated ...

- The 1996 film “Romeo + Juliet” directed by Baz Luhrmann modernizes the classic drama by using more urban scenery instead of the more traditional Elizabethan/Renaissance scenery of earlier “Romeo and Juliet” adaptations. For example at the moment when Romeo and Juliet meet, their eyes meet through an aquarium in amidst of a costume party. Although the room is modernistic it reflects the original scene when the couple meets at a costume ball. The aquarium scene captures the magic of love and expresses the theme that even though they are so close they are still kept apart. The glass is a metaphor for ...

The theme of The Graduate is the emotional journey of an innocent and confused

recent college graduate who is exploited through an affair with a family friend who is a

married woman. It is satirical and often times comedic in its reflections of the social and

sexual mores of the 1960s.

his face against the stark whiteness that surrounds his head, symbolic of a Christ-like

halo. It appears as though he is alone but he is actually on a plane, interacting with no

one - isolated in thoughts and emotions. More symbolism of isolation with no one there

the luggage chute, he ...
