Q. How the activity series of metals is used to determine whether or not a single-replacement reacion will occur?
Asked by Jen S - Wed Mar 12 17:46:02 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Cu + FeSO4 (aq) ===> no reaction look at the activity series and think of it as a popularity list. The ones at the top are more popular than the ones at the bottom. In this case, the Fe is more attractive than the Cu and will not give up its partner. However... Mg+ ZnCl2 ===> MgCl2 + Zn This is because Mg is more popular or active and it will react with the Cl2. The poor Zn is left alone and lonley.

What kind of activity can I do to teach a human biology class about human attraction?
Q. It is for high school students, and I need to teach them using a fun-ish activity about what makes us attractive to the opposite sex.
Asked by RandomChick - Wed Apr 15 00:38:19 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hmm. You might be able to collect a bunch of photos of attractive and unattractive people (across many racial backgrounds) and have the students categorize them and measure the photos to determine the actual components of visual attraction (symmetry, facial proportions, etc). The beauty (no pun intended) of this sort of activity is that humans across all cultures share a basic love of symmetry, and facial/body proportions usually hold well across cultures.

A. Okay -- fantastic questions which falls into two of my levels of expertise: music and cognition. The difference between a rank amateur and a professional pianist -- and they've actually done studies on this -- is a matter of neurological conditioning. The amateur has to translate the notes on the bass and treble clefs to what it means in terms of a key on the keyboard, accounting for rhythm and tempo, while the professional pianist does several things differently: First, the note on the sheet is directly translated to a physical movement for the specified period of time. Moreover, professionals know how to combine notes from both clefs automatically (note on sheet equals movement without letter or number interpretation in the middle in… [cont.]

How do I find out about police activity in our area?
Q. We have a helicopter flying way way too low around our town. It does not look like a police helicopter but they are definitely looking for something/someone.

A. There are many things it could be. The county will hire them to do large area surveys. Private developers use them to map out tracks of land for possible later development. The power companies use them to inspect power lines. Some areas use them to spray for mosquito's or to drop rabies pellets. The list goes on. If you are really that concerned, call the closest airport. Who ever it is will have had to file a flight plan and would be tracked on their radar.

A. Get a bag of candy corn, the yellow, orange and white kind. Get a bag of M & M's mulitcolored. Count how many of each color of M & M's to start. Dump them all in together and mix in a shallow container like a 9x13 cake pan. Then have students choose a small number of M & M's maybe 3, as you pass the container around. After everyone has chosen, count the number of each color of M & M's again. There will be fewer of the red, blue and green but not so much the yellow and orange. The reason being that the yellow and orange were camoflauged by the candy corn. Thus the yellow and orange would be "naturally selected" because of their blending in with thier environment.

A. I am assuming that she is not involved in a church since you're asking this question. Hmmm. If she's 15, she could try a part-time job at a place, like a movie theater, where a lot of other people her age would be working and/or would come to. Another option would be to see if your local library sponsors reading groups for particular books. Last, check out the home-schooling scene in your new community. A lot of places have specific social events for home-schooled kids to all get together.

At the end, have everyone reveal their secret! It usually gets a lot of laughs, and reveals a slight sense of people's character!

A. Board games like Trivial Pursuit, and Scrabble can be fun. Have a old fashioned "games party", each person bring a game that doesn't use electricity or batteries, and see what happens. Children can work in pairs, against another pair, with winners having most points as a "team effort". Chess and Checkers are old favorites too. Problem with many of the Electronic TV games is that there often is NO human interaction, you play against a computer. That's no fun, lol. And, what adults present should strive for is teaching how to be a good loser, as well as a winner. Winners should be encouraged to shake hands with the loser. Some youth sports teams also encourage sportsmanship too.

Example: you say, John and Mary want to color for a while but Jane, Joe, and Jeff want to swim, and Ellen wants to play ball. What can we do about this?

A. Reason and the Enlightenment The Enlightenment was critical in furthering the process, begun three centuries earlier, that altered the understanding of reason and, by empirically connecting it to nature, established reason as the alternative authority to both Christian revelation and speculative, metaphysical theory. The so-called Age of Reason may thus be described as a methodological revolution that, in effect, redeemed reason's authority by countering rationalism. Reason was set apart from the natural world so that it might observe and know it, and the method of knowing, in turn, was itself key in shaping the world one knew. More completely than before, Enlightenment thinkers separated the natural world, which they could observe,… [cont.]
