In order to help children achieve their full potential across the six areas of learning development of babies and young children must be encouraged through opportunities for them to be active and interactive and to improve their skills of coordination, control,…
Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical activity. Their three dimensional structure determines their function, and is made of chains of amino acids that have folded into a specific shape with a unique property. Enzymes lower the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction, therefore speeding up the process. Multiple enzymes work together in metabolic pathways, taking a product (end result) of one metabolic reaction as a substrate (substance or molecule at start of process) for another reaction. Metabolic pathways create the avenue for fructolysis, the breakdown (catabolism) of fructose, occurring in the liver, and in muscle and fat tissue. Most of fructose obtained by diet is metabolized in the liver, where the enzyme fructokinase is abundant. This enzyme phosphorylates the substrate (fructose) into fructose-1-phosphate, which is then split into glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate, both three carbon molecules that can enter the glycolytic pathway for further oxidation and energy production. Enzymes are specific to a substrate, meaning they have an active spot on the enzyme that will only work with a specific shape of a particular substance (substrate).…

The difference between what a learner can achieve independently and what a learner can achieve with scaffolding and encouragement is known as the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Vygotsky states that the ZPD is where the most sensitive guidance should be given and if done so properly, it can support children towards developing higher mental functions. Furthermore, he recommends that teachers make the most of cooperative learning exercises where all children can benefit from one…
I try to plan activities for cognitive development that make children think. I ask open-ended questions; play verbal guessing games, memory games, and other sensory motor activities. When I ask questions I use current events and experiences that the children can relate to. For an example, I’ve asked the children what happened to Goldilocks once she ran into the woods. Then, I wait for thinking gestures from the children. Their responses were the…

I am competent in the area of cognitive development. My goal in the area of cognitive is to create meaningful experiences through exploration, problem solving, and curiosity to allow children to learn actively. To accomplish my goal I use every day activities such as cooking, gardening, building, and dramatic play to teach. I encourage curiosity and problem solving with every activity by asking open ended questions. I respond to children’s interest by webbing themes to create immersion learning. I recognize children learn differently and incorporate all centers as active learning discovery opportunities. I set aside time before and after center time to ask questions to extend the child’s thinking. I am aware of each child’s progress and support them with new and challenging opportunities.…
The Children will be able to identify each of their five senses and how these sense help them learn about their world. Through the use of song, books and journal writing and hands on activites, the children will learn that they use thier eyes to see, their hands to touch their nose to smell, their ears to hear and their tounges to taste.…
I encourage positive social interactions and emotional development by having children participate in activities that involve teamwork. I provide activities that require children to cooperate. I help children respect others, and the materials. I encourage children to help out other children. I help them to understand that other people have feelings, and to respect them. I encourage children to make friends and work together. I help shy or aggressive children to play and engage appropriately with others.…
Intellectual Development depends on the opportunity given to a child from an early age. It is important to understand that all children learn in different stages. A task one child may be able to do; another may struggle at, due to the individual’s strengths and abilities.…
As children grow so does their development and as with Piaget developmental theory I believe these stages are very critical when it comes to a child’s growth. Children in the preoperational stage need to be able to use their imagination engage in meaningful conversations. When children reach the concrete operational stage they need to be challenged in ways that encourage them to…
University of Phoenix Material Development Matrix Part I – Developmental Stages For each developmental domain, physical, cognitive, and social, identify two major changes or challenges associated with the following stages: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Stage of Development Physical Development Cognitive Development Social Development Childhood This is when children begin to grow, crawl.…
Some children learn at a slower pace and it could extend to the ages of eight to twelve. Children of all ages, whether they are out of their development stage or not can be influenced by adults. Parents, kindergarten teacher, and other adults that have an effect on children's lives have a big responsibility. Some adults do not realize that children that see them can imitate everything they do. Little eyes that want to grow up to be just like them watch everything they do. An adults influence on a child can be overwhelming to some adults who do not know exactly what their child can and will…

Piaget was interested in how children think; Piaget says children learn with intelligent, video, cognitive development. He believes putting the development and learns. He believes that children learn by doing or copying as their fears. Anal stage is an important stage. B.F. skinner is a. behaviorist he believed that behavior is learned such as praising. He believes to praise for good things and not for bad behavior ignore it. He also believes that if you praise to much a child will just do things to please the parent.…
