Mr. Rohmann soon realizes that Toni probably does not have the background experiences needed to readily understand some of the examples he has been sharing with the class (for example, the relationship between thunder and lightning). After doing some research, Mr. Rohmann decides he can best help Toni by
including varied example types, particularly when discussing difficult concepts.
Its always important to provice a variety of examples when teaching a new concept, but especially when a student may not have access to certain shared experience due to a learning difference or life circumstance.
93
Which of these problems, if experienced by a student of middle school age, would offer the clearest indicator of an atypical (unusual) variance (difference) in cognitive (learning) development?

employed and lowering expectations for these students does not serve their needs in mastering content.
96
avoiding assitance based on students' unique backgrounds allows for
no differentiation, which is a key component of all classroom instruction.
97
Kohlberg's “conventional” level of moral development, in which the individual desires to live up to societal conventions, and will adhere to social norms even in the absence of immediate approval from others, is most strongly associated with which of the following stages of physical development?

Kohlberg's stages of moral development progresses with a person's age, beginning with
pre-conventional (before being concerned with that is generally help to be acceptable) and ending with post-conventional (after being concerned about what is acceptible). The conventional stage, when individuals most value the opinions of peers and authorities as representatives of society at large, is typically experienced during adolescence and adulthood.
99
Children younger than adolescents are typically in the pre-conventional stage of moral development, focused on
obedience and punishment as young children and moving into self-interested decision-making in later childhood.

Stepts to the scientific method:
1) observe something and ask questions about a natural phenomemon (scientific obervation)
2) make your hypothesis
3) make predictions about logical consequences of the hypotheses
4) test your predictions by controlled experiment, a natural experiment, an observational study, or a field experiment
5) create your conclusion on the basis of data or infomration gathered in your experinment
181
Hypothesis
is the statement created by researchers when they speculate (guess) upon the outcome of the research or experinment.
182
controlled experiment
an experiment where everything stays the same except for one variable.
ex: plants in the same pot, same equal sunlight, BUT the only difference being the amount of water given (this would be the independent variable.)
183
Independent variable
where the one thing in the experient is different. Ex: giving a plant different amounts of water.
184
Natural experiment
used to study situations in which controlled experiments is not possible, such as when an exposure of interest cannot be practically or ethically assignmed to research subjects. experiments include policy change, weather events, and natural disasters.
185
observational study
uncontrolled study, researchers watch what happens to a series of people in one group. Ex: everyone gets drug X, and the researchers record how many people get better. But theres a big problem with these studies: you cant know what would have happened without drug x- maybe more people would have gotten better!
186
field experiment
applies to the scientific methodto experimentally examine an intervention in the real world (or as many experimentalists like to say, naturally occurring environments) rather than in the laboratory
187
scientific theory
a well-substained explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confimred through observation and experiment.
188
in science, a model is
a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena (occurrence) that cannot be experienced directly.
189
scientific laws or scientific principals are
statements that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena (occurrence). Each scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the universe.
190
independent variable vs dependent
the _independent_ variable is the variable that is *changed* or *controlled* in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable *being tested and measured* in a scientific experiment.
For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.
191
systematic errors
are errors that affect the accuracy of a measurement. common sources of systematic errors are faulty calibration of measuring instruments, poorly maintained instruments, or faulty reading of instruments by the users.
192
Random errors
errors that affect the precision of a measurement. Common sources of random errors are problems estimating a quantity that lies between the graduations (the lines) on an instrument and the inability to read an instrument because the reading fluctuates during the measurement.
193
Parallax error
this error can occur whenever there is some distance between the measuring scale and the indivator used to obtain a measurement. If the observers eye is not squarely alignmed with the pointer and scale, the reading may be too high or low.
194
nature of science refer to
epistemology (theory of knowledge) of science or the principles and belifs inherent to the development of schientific knowledge. Even though schientific knowledge is durable, it is never absolute or certain. When there is new evidence found egainst existing knowledge, as a reult of advancement of technology or old evidence is reinerpreted in the light of new advanced theory and existing knowledge can be altered.

In human reproductive process, two knids of sex cells (games) are involved:
the male gamete (sperm) and female gamete (egg or ovum). These two gametes meet within the females uterine tubes located one on each side of the upper pelvic cavity, and begin to create a new individual.
216
How are male and female reporoducive organs similar?
both develop from similar embryonic tissue, meaning they are homologous. Both systems have gonands that produce (sperm and egg or ovum) and sex organs. And both systems experience maturation of their reproductive organs, which become functional during puperty as a result of the gonands secreting sex hormones.
217
A male who is healthy and sexually mature, continuously produces sperm. Where as the development of womens eggs are
arrested during fetal devlopment. She is born with a predetermined number of oocytes and cannot produce new ones.
218
When a young woman reachers puberty around age 10-13, a primary oocyte is discharged from one of the everaies every
28 days. This continues until the woman reaches menopause, usually around the age of 50.
219
The Vulva is
the external femal glands. Large lips, small lips, mons pubis, clitoris, opening of the urethra (meatus), vaginal vestibule, vestibular bulbs, vestibular glans.
220
mons veneris
the soft mound at the front of the vulva (fatty tissue convering the pubic bone)
221
Labia Majora
are the outer lips of the vulva.
222
Labia Minora
the inner lips of the vulva. protects the vagina, uretha, and clitoris
223
Clitoris
small body of spongy tissue that functions solely for sexual pleasure. Its is about 4 inches long on average
224
Urethra
the opening of the urethra is just below the clitoris. The uretha is used for the passage of urine. The urethra is connected to the bladder. about 1.5 inches long.
225
Hymen
a thin fold of mucous membrane that seperates the lumen of the vagina from the urethral sinus. The hymen is not a good indication of whether someone is a virgin or not. Trauma like masturabtion or tampon insertion could have widened it.
226
Perineum
short stretch of skin starting at the bottom of the vulva and extending to the anus.
227
redemption definition
the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil. Saving; absolution
228
229
Cervix
is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus where it joins with the top end of the vagina. During mensturation, the cervix stretched open slightly to allow the endometrium to be shed. This stretching is believed to be part of the cramping pain that many women experience. Evidence for this is given by the fact that some women's cramps subside or disappear after their first vaginal birth because the cervical opening has widened.
230
The uterus
is shaped like an upside-down pear, with a thick lining and muscular walls. Located near the floor of the pelvic cavity, it is hollow to allow a blastocycle, or fertilized egg, to implant and grow. It also allows for the inner linig of the uterus to build up until a fertilized egg is implanted, or it is sloughed off during menses. the uterus contains some of the strongest muscles in the female body. These muscles are able to expand and contract to accommodate a growing fetus and then help push the baby out during labor. these muscles also contract rhythmically during an orgasm in a wave like action. It is thought that this is to help push or guide the perm up the uterus to the fallopian tubes where fertilization may be possible.
231
fallopian tubes
each fallopian tube attaches to a side of the uterus and connects to an ovary. The fallopian tubes are about 4 inches long and about as wide as a piece of spaghetti.
232
describe how an egg gets fertilized
Once an egg is in the fallopian tube, tiny hairs in the tube's lining help push it down the narroe passageway toward the uterus. the egg cell takes about 4-5 days to travel down the length of the fallopian tube. after fertilization occurs, the zygote, or fertilized egg, will continue down the uterus and implant itself in the uterine wall where it will grow and develop. If a zygote doesnt move down the uterus and implants intself in the fallopian tube, it is called ectopic or tubal prgnancy. If this occurs, the pregnancy will need to be terminated to prevent permanent damage to the fallopian tube, possible hemorrage and possible death of the mother.
233
exploitation definition
the action of fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work.
234
describe mensturation
during mensuration arteries that supply the lining of the uterus constrict and capillaries weaken. Blood spilling from the damages vessels detaches layers of the lining, not all at once but in random patches. Endometrium mucus and blood descending from the uterus, through the liquid creates the mensuration flow.
235
a woman can tell the time of ovulation by taking her basal body temperature daily. This temperature should be taken first thing in the morning before the woman gets our of bed. in the uterince cycle, a normal temperature will be around
97.0-98.0. the day of ovulation the temperature spikes down to 96.0-97.0 and then the next morning it will spike up to normal. this method is used for conception and contraception. they are more effecient in contraception due to the fact that sperm can live for two to three days inside of the fallopian tubles.
