Both had skilled men leading the expedition, were used to collect data, and used many important other people to make their journey successful. Leading both expeditions were skilled men. Lewis was a skilled soldier, skilled woodsman, and was chief aid to Jefferson, while Clark was and expert map maker, he could calculate rivers, and he was an army commander. On the first American journey to the moon three highly skilled and trained astronauts took the challenge of getting to the moon and using what they have learned and applying it by really going to the moon. Both expeditions were used to collect data. Meriwether Lewis was put on the expedition was put on the expedition to collect and catalog new plants and animals on the trip while William Clark used the data and his skills to create maps of the area. On the journey to the moon many samples and experiments were done to collect data in order to bring back for more information on the unexplored area.

    The Lewis and Clark expedition ignited a period of expansion for the US. The enormous amount of new discoveries of all the new plant and animal species gave the United States a monopoly over certain products only found in the west. Ideas knowledge learned from the Indians influenced western medicine and helped shape diverse lifestyles, which provided the West with a much-needed break from the archaic ways of British living. The new geography discovered on the journey coaxed others to follow the expedition's path and gave them the incentive and courage to “move west” and explore on their own. The Lewis and Clark expedition, a.k.a. The Corps of Discovery Expedition was the first American expedition to cross and map the western part of the US. The journey left St. Louis on the Mississippi River in May, 1804 to map and explore the land recently bought in the Louisiana purchase, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson. The Corps would travel to the Pacific and back arriving home in September 1806. The two-year journey was a success on so many fronts including new discoveries of flora and fauna found that were useful for trade, ideas and skills learned from the Indians, and the vast geography discovered encouraging others to migrate west.…

    Involvement of students in a classroom environment is essential for learning. The key is to connect to the audience by applying examples from everyday real life which they can easily relate to. Visual aids are helpful to achieve such a goal and I tried to include these wherever possible in my lectures and laboratory procedure manuals. In order to be transparent while grading assignments or exams, I always prepared a rubric in consultation with the faculty member and provided it to students beforehand. This ensured that students carried a clear understanding in terms of what was expected from…
