Do I have to know how to do any math for geography?” Although Luke was hoping to find a niche where he needed as little mathematics as possible, his question brought to mind all the practical mathematics that I had used in college geography projects. I was motivated to develop an extended hands-on project for my eighth-grade mathematics classes in which they were to determine the probability that a local creek would flood. This project can be easily adapted to almost any secondary-level mathematics class.

Thank you so much for the invitation to be here with you. It is always a pleasure to be with people who understand, believe in, and know the importance of public health. Those of us who work in the legislative arena know how infrequent it is to have dialogue and conversation with people who really have a good, tangible, hands-on working knowledge of health care, and particularly of public health.The notion of public health is an interesting one. It will range—if you talk to people in the legislature or out of the legislature—from just complete ignorance to total unawareness of what we mean by the words “public health.” When you talk to individuals like us in this room, we find a mixture of definitions, a mixture of understandings, and a mixture of appreciation as to what public health really is.

In this case study, you will encounter some of the issues of lab development for delivering lab-based information systems courses online. Many small campuses have very limited budget or no budget at all for the computer lab specifically designed for information systems majors. Sometimes, even with new computers purchased, very few people know how to set them up for lab-based information systems (IS) courses. What are the software and hardware requirements for getting the lab online? How much will it cost? Where can you find resources for the lab development? To ensure quality teaching on IS-related topics, you have to deal with these issues. This case study will discuss how to create a lab that allows students to get hands-on practice for courses such as network management or database processing online with a shoestring budget.

“Why do I have to do this math? This is not something I need to know. I will not use it when I get out of school!” exclaimed Jesse and some of his classmates. Have you ever heard these comments? In the past, my students were learning the concepts, hut they were not associating the importance of mathematics and its uses in the real world. This year, I have tried to show the students in my eighth-grade mathematics class how mathematics will apply to their lives, whether they work on a ranch, work in the oil fields, or get a higher education after high school.

Near the end of the school year, our graduating eighth-grade students are required to fill out a questionnaire to evaluate their mathematics class. They do so anonymously. The first eleven statements require the stude nts to “strongly disagree,” “disagree,” “agree.” or “strongly agree.” Note that they are given no middle ground; students must agree or disagree to some extent.

Introduction: Efforts to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases through hands can be prevented by washing hands. It is especially emphasized on mothers with toddlers. However, many mothers do not know how to wash their hands using soap correctly and adequately. This study aims to analyze the effect of the emotional demonstration method and video media on how to wash hands on the knowledge and skills of homemakers. Materials and Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental method, with a two-group design pretest-posttest approach involving 40 participants, conducted in September-October 2020 in Penyengat Olak Village. The research sample was divided into two groups, 20 participants received the emo demo method, and 20 other participants received videos. Results: The results showed an increase in mothers' knowledge and skills after receiving an education using the emotional demonstration method and video media and statistically showed significant results (<0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, this educational media is highly recommended as a method of educating the public about good and correct hand washing.

With sell-out crowds and phenomenal research results, Science Siesta and Advanced Science Siesta are programs designed to change the traditional perceptions that girls have about science and science-related careers. Through hands-on science activities (in and out of the lab), and through working with local female scientists, girls who range from fourth to eighth grade are provided valuable opportunities to combat the stereotype that “girls can’t do science.” This article addresses the need to engage girls in science and explains “how-to” meet that need through the Science Siesta programs.

Distance Formula

My eighth-grade mathematics class was having some of the usual difficulties with beginning-algebra concepts. Because the students were becoming somewhat frustrated, I was looking for a way to present the multiplication of integers so that student could readily understand the concept. Relating this idea to the distance formula, which we had already tudied, would not only help put this idea into a more familiar context but also would review a formula that the students would often be using the next year in first-year algebra.
