Each essay should be 2 pages , double space, 500 word count. Do not format each paper apa style, only format 2 sources and 2 references apa style. No headings, no titles, you can just make the essay question the title that it. Remember do not format each essay apa style just the 2 sources and references.

Here is the instruction. Directions: Kindly provide brilliant, insightful answers to the following questions. My expectation is that you will draw on course materials and your independent study of American education in completing your responses. Each short essay should be organized with anintroduction, body, and conclusion. There should be a logical sequencing of your discussion/reflection. You should provide evidence for the claims your make, and each essay should be polished and free of grammatical and spelling errors.

here are the 4 essays

1). Compare and contrast education and propaganda.

2).What function does education serve in human society, and how does this function impact A) individuals and B) the collective?

3). What role should education play in promoting social justice (economic, legal, racial)?

4). Describe the teacher/student relationship. (What are the responsibilities of each? How should they relate to each other? To what degree – and under what circumstances – should teachers be held accountable for students’ learning and development?)

The sequence and order of the chapters in the Morales & Morales book are not chronological. In addition, the entries by the mother and by the daughter are not necessarily consecutive or complementary in topic or narrative approach. The times covered in the overall story do not coincide in any linear way with the “felt time” of the individual chapters.

Task: Explore at least three examples of the use of sequence in the book (SEE ATTACHED), the effect that this usage has on the meaning you make of the story being told, and what different meaning you might make were the sequence in each instance chronological.

PAPER MUST BE 5-8 PAGES AND IN MLA FORMAT.

YOU MAY USE ATTACHED SAMPLE PAPER AS INSPIRATION ONLY.

*COVER PAGE IS NOT NECESSARY*

Fluoride in Water

Controversy surrounds the addition of fluoride to drinking water. Professional organizations (i.e. Center for Disease Control, National Health Service, National Academy of Science, and the American Dental Association) say that the proper amount of fluoride in the water can prevent and control tooth decay with no side effects. However, members of your community are fighting with community leaders to remove fluoride from the water. Inspired by Pinellas Country in Florida*, they continue the claim that fluoride has been added to the water supply in an attempt by the government to control the minds of its people. They also claim that the government has manufactured scientific data that shows how fluoride protects teeth from decay and cavities.

You have been asked as scientific members of this community to weigh in on whether or not fluoride protects teeth from acid erosion. To reach as much of the community as possible, you plan to write an article in the local paper to share your findings.

Your goal: using simulated teeth (water buffalo, eggshell or limestone chip) to provide evidence on whether fluoride protects teeth from acid erosion.

Your end product: an article in the local paper that uses your data to support or refute the claim that fluoride protects teeth from decay.

Lab Report (30 points)

Each person turns in their own report! NOT A GROUP PROJECT*

To have a complete lab report, you must include ALL of the following:

1. Summary of experiment
2. Reflection
3. Data table
4. Calculations
5. Article for the local paper

Student groups may work on 3 and 4 together; however, the summary, reflection and article MUST be individual work. A complete report must contain ALL 5 sections (even if you worked on them as a group, you must attach your own copy).

Summary of experiment (Typed)

The summary is a complete and concise description of your work. It must contain:

• Reason – why do we care about this work? Look to your scenario. Each has given you abigger picture to use an inspiration for your work. Think about why is this researchimportant.
• Research question – what problem are you solving? This will give the reader a betterunderstanding of the scope of your work.
• Method – what approach did you take to answer the research question? This is a briefsummary of your experimental design and the techniques you used. Don’t get boggeddown in details, but give the reader a quick summary of what you did.
• Results – What was the answer to your question based on your observations? Describekey observation and include important findings.

• Conclusions/Implications – What is the general implications of your findings? This should reference your scenario and the goal of your experiment. Should fluoride be kept in the water? Can the energy yield of the industrial process be improved? Is there a way to effectively separate the recovered spill mixture?

Other considerations about the summary:

• No more than 400 words.
• Be clear and concise.
• Assume the reader understands scientific terms and chemistry; therefore, you do not haveto define terms or techniques (ex: suction filtration, acid, etc).
• The summary must be typed. Include a word count in parentheses at the end of thesummary. (≤ 400)Reflection (Typed)Answer the following questions:

1. What did you learn about the scientific process while working on this team project?
2. What did you learn about working as a member of a research team?
3. What is one way that this experience will help you in your future studies, research, orcareer?

Data Tables (Typed)

Create tables with labels to organize your data and calculated values. Use the tables in the lab packets as guides. The tables should be easily understood and organized.

Calculations (Typed or Handwritten)

This section also includes all your calculations. Calculations should be labeled so that the reader can follow your train of thought. If handwritten, it should be neat and legible.

Article for the paper (Typed)

One of the most important jobs of a scientist is to convey their findings to others. These communications include: formal publications (i.e. journal articles, technical books, textbooks); presentations at professional meetings (i.e. posters, talks, discussion panels, roundtables); technical reports to granting/funding agencies; and communications with employers. Scientists also speak to the general public. It is important that, when we communicate our findings, we use language that is appropriate for the audience we are addressing.

End product: an article in the local paper that uses your data to support or refute the claim that fluoride protects teeth from decay.

• The article should be no more than 2 pages, double spaced.
• The article should be written for a general audience and not use technical terms or jargon.The target audience for this article is interested people with limited chemistry knowledge.o Ifyouuseatechnicalterm,youmustdefineitfortheaudience.
• This article differs from your summary, because it is a less technical communication.

o It requires you to think about how to explain a technical experiment to a general

audience.
o To help, try explaining your scenario lab to a

parent/sibling/grandparent/relative/friend who doesn’t have experience in general chemistry.

• Your article should include:
o Statement:Doesyourevidencesupportorrefutetheclaimthatfluorideprotects

teeth from decay?
o Briefdescriptionofthechemistryinvolvedwithfluoridationofteethandyour

experiment.
§ How it relates to acid erosion of teeth?

o Brief description of how you carried out your experiment.
o Describekeyfindingsoftheexperiment,numericaland/orobservational,that

support your statement.

• § DO NOT include data tables.
• § Graphs/charts are allowed as long as they are necessary to support yourstatement.

o Write a conclusion based on your analysis.

§ Detail how these findings support or refute the claim that fluoride protects teeth from decay.

§ DO Not include personal beliefs

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is for students to learn how to use Microsoft Excel® for solving formulas. Managers and staff need to work with percentages daily in professional settings. Skills such as finding the percentage increase/decrease and using Excel® to convert from decimals to percentages and vice versa have become necessary. This assignment provides students with the practice of such fundamental quantitative concepts.
