How does the use of music during transitions impact student behavior?

In this poster presentation, I researched how the use of music during transitions in school and the classroom can effect student behavior. My question I asked was “How does the use of music during transitions impact student behavior?”. I gathered information online and observed student behavior in my field placement to get more information on this topic, and see real-life outcomes. In the classroom I have seen teachers use different tactics to get students to transition either to other subjects or to other places in the buildings. One of these tactics is using music to help with smoother transitions. Using music to support transitions helps students focus, be prepared without verbal explanation, and have a chance to self-regulate before moving on to something new.

Unlocking Ketamine: Medicine, Function, and History

To begin my presentation I will be introducing ketamine as a chemical anomaly in the medical field. Following this I will talk about the history of the drug and why it is valuable to know about its use and risks. From this history I will transition into examples of how ketamine is being used in medical practice and how the drug is administered. To continue and add understanding I will then explain the NMDA receptors in our brains and how they interact with the chemical. This will lead to the function of ketamine in the brain covering some effects of the chemical. I will then be talking about the structure of the chemical, explaining how the shape is of integral importance to how ketamine binds to brain receptors. To conclude I will restate that ketamine is a chemical that we don’t fully understand but, despite that, we can learn from it daily to  better understand medicine as a whole. Thank you.
