4-5 sentenses, 

  

Instructions:

· Go to the following Virtual Lab Website http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/virtual_labs/LS12/LS12.html

· The virtual lab runs under Flash. You may need to enable your browser to run it. 

· Watch the short video clip about the white light spectrum and the pigments in plants.

· Using the controls to run the experiment, collect data to fill in the tables for radish and lettuce. 

o Select a plant

o Select the color for each chamber

o Turn the light switch “On” to run the experiment

o Use your mouse to grab the ruler and measure the height of the tallest part of the plant to the nearest centimeter. The height of each plant counts as one observation.

o Record the data in the appropriate data table. 

o Calculate the average height of the plant for each color.

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER

3. Based on these observations, which color of light causes the greatest amount of plant growth?

4. Based on these observations, which color of light causes the least amount of plant growth? 

5. In a short paragraph, explain how these observations are consistent with the information presented in the short video? 

6. Given that white light contains all colors of the spectrum, what growth results would you expect under white light?

 

Read the following vignette about a child with ADHD and answer each of the three questions at the end:

Scott  is 8 years old. At 7 AM, his mother looks into Scott’s bedroom and sees  Scott playing. “Scott, you know the rules: no playing before you are  ready for school. Get dressed and come eat breakfast.” Although these  rules for a school day have been set for the past 7 months, Scott always  tests them. In about 10 minutes, he is still not in the kitchen. His  mother checks his room and finds Scott on the floor, still in his  pajamas, playing with miniature cars. 

Ten  minutes later, Scott bounds into the kitchen, still without socks and  shoes, and hair tousled. “You forgot your socks, and your hair isn’t  combed,” his mother reminds him. “Oh yeah. What’s for breakfast?” he  says. “Scott, finish dressing first.” “Well, where are my shoes?” “By  the back door where you left them.” This is the specially designated  place where Scott is supposed to leave his shoes so he doesn’t forget.

Scott  starts toward his shoes but spots his younger sister playing with  blocks on the floor. He hurries to her. “Wow, Amy, watch this—I can make  these blocks into a huge tower, all the way to the ceiling.” He grabs  the blocks and begins to stack them higher and higher. “Scott makes a  better tower than Amy,” he chants. Amy shrieks at this intrusion, but  she is used to Scott grabbing things from her. The shriek brings their  mother into the room. She notices Scott’s feet still do not have socks  and shoes.

“Scott,  get your socks and shoes on now and leave Amy alone!” “Where are my  socks?” he asks. “Go to your room and get a clean pair of socks and  brush your teeth and hair. Then come eat your breakfast or you’ll miss  the bus.”

1. What sort of problems would you expect Scott to have at school? 
2. What are some teachings you might provide for this parent?
3. What interventions would give Scott the best chance of having positive outcomes? 

 What challenges have you overcome to study at College and what does opportunity mean to you? 

 How is College changing your future? 

 

By Friday (note this is a day later than uual) , post your initial response to the assigned discussion questions in the below Discussion Area. It is important to support what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course materials and outside resources. Include the South University Online Library in your research activities utilizing not only the nursing resource database, but also those pertaining to education, business, and human resources.

No later than by the end of the week, review and comment on the discussion question responses posted by at least two of your peers. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language. All comments should be posted to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area.

Discussion Question

Visit South’s online library and review these two articles.

• Connelly, L. M. (2014). Use of theoretical frameworks in research. MEDSURG Nursing, 23(3), 187-188.
• Green, H. E. (2014). Use of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in qualitative research. Nurse Researcher, 21(6), 34-38.

Next, review the evidence you are collecting for your proposed study. Which theories have others cited? Are you seeing a common theme? Next construct a conceptual map p.  You can use Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint and include this as an attachment. Be sure you have defined the concepts and included relational statements.  I am really interested in you identifying theories used in work about your topic .
