How to use Both Art & Music in Classroom Management and Transitions

Classroom management is a part of any classroom. You can either invest the time before, or spend it consistently throughout the school year. Better to spend the time at the beginning of the year than waste it throughout the school year. We believe that you can integrate both music and art through the use of transitions. There are many ways to use both art and music and we plan to discuss many ways in which it can be done.

How Class Jobs Benefit Students

Student jobs are a major part of classroom management. Students will be encouraged to stay on task in order to earn their “pay check.” Student jobs allow students in all social-economic classes to learn the real life task of getting a job and having a “pay check.” Our presentation will cover these topics in hope of encouraging future and present teachers to form classroom jobs.

Construction of a Simple Securities Market Model

The securities market includes stocks and bonds, but also many more less common types of securities. This presentation will introduce viewers to the basics of the market, including risk and the no-arbitrage principle. This principle requires that no risk-free investments with a guarantee of gain can be made, and once it is assumed to be true, many other facts and interesting truths can be derived. The presentation will explore this in more depth, and provide an equation for determining the future value of investments.

Bean Growth in Accordance t Light and Water Quality

Soil makers and fertilizer producers are always promoting their product as the most beneficial factor for plant growth, but what other factors play into promoting healthy plants? One major factor that deals with plant growth is environment, such as light and dark, that factors into the amount of photosynthesis which can take place. Another factor that is important to consider is the quality of water being fed to the plants. This poster will attempt to show the difference that light and water have on plant growth and conclude why each source produced each result.

Metabolism of Different Types of Sugars by Yeast

Yeast metabolizes sugars and carbohydrates forming carbon dioxide thus allowing the bread to rise. Our first trial was observing the amount of foam created by the sugar and yeast reacting. Our second trial was observing how much the bread rose before and after being baked. Then we compared the results with the first trial.
