Multiple Means of Representation Learners perceive and comprehend information differently. Your goal in this section is to explain how you would present content in various ways to meet the needs of different learners. For example, you may present the material using guided notes, graphic organizers, video or other visual media, annotation tools, anchor charts, hands-on manipulatives, adaptive technologies, etc. In a bulleted list, describe the materials you will use to differentiate instruction and how you will use these materials throughout the lesson to support learning. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.

For example: • I will use a Venn diagram graphic organizer to teach students how to compare and contrast the two main characters in the read-aloud story. • I will model one example on the white board before allowing students to work on the Venn diagram graphic organizer with their elbow partner. Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups: • English language learners (ELL): • Students with special needs: • Students with gifted abilities: • Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): Time Needed

Choose an issue related to global trade and discuss it in detail. Who is affected? How is it monitored/managed? What are the implications for the future? Defend your answer.

PARAGRAPH ANALOGY OF ACTION POTENTIAL

In a single paragraph discuss the process of an action potential. Explain it in a way that you would tell an eight year old - using an analogy. I would like to see you use an analogy and the more creative the better!

Note: You CANNOT use the domino effect or firing a gun as the analogy.

You must include four (4) of the following terms in your analogy: all-or-nothing response, axon, resting state, soma (cell body), threshold, positive or negative ions, depolarized, refractory period

Van der Waals Gases

Under what conditions of volume does a van der Waals gas behave like an ideal gas? Use the van der Waals equation of state to justify your answer.

The number of breakdowns each day on a section of road were recorded for a sample of 250 days

as follows:

Number of breakdowns Number of days

0 100

1 70

2 45

3 20

4 10

250

Calculate the 95 per cent and the 99 per cent confidence intervals for the mean. Explain your

results.

1. A sociologist studied random samples of full-time employees in a particular occupation – six women and six men – to determine whether gender has an influence on the average (mean) number of hours worked per day. She obtained the following results:

           Women                Men  

                10                      12

                 9                        9

                 7                        8

                 4                       10

                 9                       11

                 6                        7     

Use a .01 alpha level to test whether there is a gender difference in the mean number of hours worked, and answer the following questions:

1. Is this a one-tailed or two tailed test? How do you know?
2. What is the critical value of the test statistic?
3. What is the obtained value of the test statistic?
4. What decision about the null hypothesis does your test lead to?
5. What does this indicate about gender differences in hours worked among the population working in this occupation?
6. Would your decision be different if you used an alpha level of .05? Explain.

A team of psychologists have developed an experimental treatment program for a learning disorder with the expectation that the treatment would enable recipients to score higher than before on a test of learning ability. To test the treatment, they randomly select a pool of 30 volunteers who have been diagnosed with the disorder and who have volunteered for the treatment program. Following treatment, the participants are retested on the learning ability test and their scores compared to earlier scores. Complete the following. (1 point each)

a. What statistical test would be appropriate in this case? Explain the rationale for your answer.

b. State the null and alternative hypotheses in words.

c. State the null and alternative hypotheses in statistical symbols

d. Would the test be right-tailed, left-tailed or two-tailed? Explain the rationale for your answer.

e. Describe a potentially confounding variable and explain how that might affect the conclusions from the study.

An article in a journal reports that 34% of American fathers take no responsibility for child care. A researcher claims that the figure is higher for fathers in the town of Littleton. A sample of 234 fathers from Littleton yielded 96 who did not help with child care. Use the critical value method to test the researcher's claim at the 0.05 significance level. Does the article report need to be corrected?

1. State the requirement
2. State the null and alternative hypotheses with the correct symbols
3. Write all the statistics
4. Write the formula of the test statistic and find the test statistic (you may use a calculator, but you are required to write down the command and all the numbers you enter)
5. Find the critical value or the P-value (you may use a calculator, but you are required to write down the command and all the numbers you enter)
6. Decide to reject or fail to reject H₀ and explain the reason
7. Wording the conclusion
8. Answer the question based on your result above

Your friend, Martinez, and you are thinking about investing in a company and are discussing the company’s balance sheet.  You are both very knowledgeable about the different formats of the balance sheet. You are convinced that the best format is the Unclassified Balance Sheet, but Martinez strongly believes that it is the Classified Balance Sheet.

Given what you have read and our discussions in class of Chapter 5 and your prior accounting classes knowledge, give a well-reasoned and detailed argument of which format of the Balance Sheet would be best for both of you to analyze in order to make your investment. And why? Provide specific examples to validate yours or Martinez’s argument.

Requirement:

1. Post an original response to the question/situation above. Once you post your response, you will be able to view your classmates’ responses.  (14 Points)
2. After completing requirement #1, you need to respond with some detail to at least TWO of your classmates’ postings.  Answering “Yes, I agree, or No, I disagree, etc. is not enough to earn you credit. You need to discuss why you agree or disagree.  (6 Points)
