8.1 Why polish? Once you have reached this stage, you have nearly finished. What does polishing mean, and what does it involve? Imagine polishing a car or a piece of furniture. Why might you do so? Usually, to make it look better, to present it in the best possible light, either for your own pleasure, or to impress others – perhaps because you want to sell it. If it is an object that you value, it is worth making it look its very best: it deserves it. How effective your polishing is usually depends o

Introduction This course helps you to explore the extent to which death and dying in western societies are medical events and what aspects of death and dying might be neglected as a consequence. The course covers the way that such things as medicine provide the context of the experiences associated with the end of life. This OpenLearn course provides a sample of level 2 study in Health & Social Care. If you found this interesting, take a look at the Open University module Death, Dying & Bereave

3 The acquisitive model of learning (Please refer to Reading 3: Models of the learning process, by Mary Thorpe) What happens when we learn? I shall explore three explanations, or models, of learning which attempt to answer this question. These three models have particular strengths and weaknesses. The point is not to choose between them, but to consider which one has the 'best fit' for different kinds of learning. The three models are introduced in turn, and each is followed by an activity that invites you to apply the mo

5.1 Warm-blooded vs cold-blooded This section is concerned with another key mammalian characteristic. LoM highlights some of the essential terms and ideas - such as the notion of warm-bloodedness - but for more thorough study, some technical background is needed. 2.3 Models of an ICT system To help me to introduce you to important ideas about ICT systems, I'm going to take a three-stage approach. ICTs involve conveying, manipulating and storing data. This is going to be the basis of my approach. Firstly, in the next few sections, we'll look at ICT systems where the primary function is to convey data. We can think of these systems as communication systems and I'll use a mobile phone system as an example. In sections 8–14, I'll focus on ICT systems wher DNA Extraction Lab (Peas) Measuring Our Underground Water Supplies from Space New images show interior of Kenya's beseiged university campus How Sunburns Work - How Stuff Works 2.5 Wavelength So far we have seen that sound is a pressure wave, and that the spacing of the pressure variations is related to the period of vibration of the source. A graphical representation of the pressure wave from a tuning fork closely approximates to a certain type of wave known as a sine wave. If we freeze the pressure wave as a snap shot in time, the variations in pressure with distance from the tuning fork can be plotted as a sine wave. The vertical axis is pressure so the crest 2.2.1 Try some yourself Here is a poor example of mathematical writing, although the final answer is correct.

Learning to teach: mentoring and tutoring student teachers 7.1 Overview Scottish literature is defined as literature written in Scotland or by Scottish writers, but is there such a thing as a literary and cultural identity which is distinctively Scottish? This section of the OpenLearn Scotland collection is designed to stimulate thinking on the relationship between writing and identity. Learners are introduced to the work of two enormously influential figures in Scottish literature and culture: Sorley MacLean and Jackie Kay, the contemporary Scottish poet a LSE Festival 2019 | Developing Urban Futures [Audio] 2.4.3 Sulfur (S) Most proteins contain about 1% sulfur, which occurs in the side-chains (R groups) of two of the protein-forming amino acids, methionine and cysteine. Cysteine is particularly important in proteins such as collagen (found in bone, tendons, cartilage and skin) and keratin (found in hair and nails, as well as skin).

Video of the procedure for extracting DNA from dried split peas. Each step is explained in detail. Could be used as a pre-lab video to show students teacher preparation of the lab to help illustrate the process. This video uses lecture format (for background information) as well as a lab demonstration. Color and sound 7:43 min.
Matt Rodell spoke about his research on the measurement and modeling of freshwater availability based on ground and satellite observation. Improving understanding of the variability and changes in soil moisture, snow, and groundwater has implications for weather and climate prediction, water management, agriculture applications and natural hazards such as floods.

Activity 2
This is the second of four courses which comprise the course Learning to teach. Traditionally student teachers are supported by a mentor in school and a tutor from a university. Both play distinctive and important parts in the teachers development. This free course, Mentoring and tutoring student teachers, examines each role in detail and explores the similarities and distinctions between the two roles. Whether you are a tutor or a mentor, effective teacher education relies on all partners worki
