Teaching Technological Literacy in Middle School Exclusive of Technological Literate Educators Section One: Project Introduction In a world that has only one constant factor‚ which is change‚ it is imperative as educators to provide an education for students that will provide them with a successful foundation for their future endeavors. In order to provide accurate material to students‚ we‚ as an educational community‚ need to gain an understanding for where the world and society is today

The 2004 SPANS survey of children in Years 6–10 in NSW found consumption of soft drinks to be lowest among students of Asian background and highest among boys of Southern European and Middle Eastern background (Booth et al. 2006). Gender Fewer girls than boys consume soft drink in Australia‚ and

Energy Fossil Fuels Good Bad and Ugly Abstract Energy is an important part of our everyday lives. Energy can come in many different types‚ and forms it can be used for many different purposes. Energy has many different usages and can be converted from one form of usage to another form of usage depending on what the need is. One form of energy conversion is the use of food to supply people ’s bodies with energy. Another form of energy

Sports Drinks vs. Water Some people think sports drinks replenish your fluids better than water while playing sports. Some say water replenishes better than sports drinks. According to some scientists sports drinks include many sugars and electrolytes that water does not have. Others say that those sugars and electrolytes actually dehydrate more than they hydrate. They say that water is much better than these drinks. Sports drinks are being used by people who are not even active‚ they just like

Two key options are the long lasting‚ high out-put but environmentally hazardous option which is nuclear fission (nuclear power) and the safe but potential ground water contamination hazard which is geothermal energy. This paper will point out strictly fact based information on both forms of energy and which one shows the

Specifically‚ the government should stop giving subsidies to oil companies and instead be using taxpayers’ money to develop solar energy‚ such as‚ solar thermal energy in order to establish a sustainable‚ clean‚ responsible and efficient form for energy for generations to come. While solar energy startup and even maintenance costs can be just as expensive as oil and coal production‚ solar energy is undoubtedly worth the price in the

This is a continuing issue with the green energy movement: how do you get consumers to pay a premium for green energy? APS is facing this problem‚ and our solution is eGreen‚ a campaign to tie APS to green energy and motivate customers to ¡§go green.¡¨ Using green energy sources stops millions of tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere each year.

Renewable Energy Summary Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight‚ wind‚ tides‚ plant growth (biomess) and geothermal heat. According to the International Energy Agency (2002)‚ “Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms‚ it derives directly from sun‚ or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar‚ wind‚ ocean‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ geothermal
