Students create and use pinhole cameras to understand how artists use and manipulate light to capture images in photographs. They shoot and develop photographs made with pinhole cameras. They compare and contrast a nineteenth-century image, photographs taken with a pinhole camera, and pictures created with a digital camera or camera phone.

Science Background:
• Sulfuric acid removes water from the sugar (Dehydration).
• Reaction is very exothermic (releases heat)
• With water removes you are left with elemental carbon
• Much of the water is boiled off as steam

Materials: Sulfuric acid, sugar, beaker, glass stir rod, dish to collect overflow

Directions:
1. Fill beaker 2/3 full of sugar. 100-250 mL is a good size
2. Add concentrated Sulfuric Acid so it just covers sugar
3. Mix with glass stir rid (you may need to add some more acid)
4. When beaker heats up (sugar turns brown) stop stirring.
5. Reaction may take a few minutes. Be patient.

Game Instructions and Career Jenga Questions:
On the blocks of the Jenga game, the teacher will write different career-related questions for students to answer. These questions should help students further explore Career Education curriculum Goals and Outcomes.

This game can be played different ways, be creative!

Students will become aware of how career planning is influenced by their present situation, which includes their self-concept, friends, family, community and available resources. Students will recognize that career planning is affected by what they know about the future concerning themselves, friends, family, community and available resources. Students will acknowledge that career planning reflects personal goals and lifestyle goals. Students will consider career plans that accommodate change and growth in their personal life and their family life, as well as in the world of work. Students will develop the lifelong skill of making career planning decisions that reflect personal goals, lifestyle goals and career goals. Students will develop and apply successful job search skills. Students will become familiar with employee interview skills which they can apply, now and in the future, to getting a job and perhaps to changing jobs. Students will consider those skills and attitudes needed to retain a job. Students will develop the lifelong skills of making decisions about job search, changing jobs, retaining jobs and job loss.

Discover the career that is right for you and then learn how to research, plan and pursue it.

The term "criminal profiler" likely conjures images of popular characters such as Hannibal Lecter of The Silence of the Lambs or Dr. Samantha Waters from The Profiler. While television and movies have raised awareness of criminal profiling as a profession, as with most careers, it's important to separate fact from fiction to get a better picture of what a job as a criminal profiler is about really.

The idea of a brilliant but deranged psychiatrist and murderer who spends his time in prison assisting rookie FBI agents on major cases is intriguing, but reality TV it's not. Nonetheless, a career as a criminal profiler can be a tremendously fascinating and intellectually stimulating pursuit.

The title "criminal profiler" is used to describe investigators who specialize in inductive and deductive reasoning to build a profile of particular criminal based on characteristics of the crime committed. Most profilers are law enforcement investigators with several years of experience investigating violent crimes and who have training and degrees in ​forensic science and psychology.​​

This awesome science video outlines how and why engineers ask themselves "what-if" questions as they identify variables in the solutions to the problems they are working on.

Until roughly 1100, there were relatively few places of knowledge-making. Monasteries and abbeys had special rooms called scriptoria where monks copied manuscripts by hand. But the biggest places where knowledge was made were the Gothic cathedrals. Then Universities came along, too. This is the story of those two institutions!

The Celestia Motherlode is a repository for various addons like textures, models or celestial objects for Celestia. Celestia is a free, interactive (real-time), 3D astronomy program. It doesn't just show you the sky as it can be seen from earth as most planetarium software does, but allows you to move to and view the universe from any point between the planets and the stars. The Celestia Motherlode hosts over 10 GB of Celestia addons by various creators, which extend or change the way Celestia renders the universe.

Today we’re going to build the ticking heart of every computer - the Central Processing Unit or CPU. The CPU’s job is to execute the programs we know and love - you know like GTA V, Slack... and Power Point. To make our CPU we’ll bring in our ALU and RAM we made in the previous two episodes and then with the help of Carrie Anne’s wonderful dictation (slowly) step through some clock cycles. WARNING: this is probably the most complicated episode in this series, we watched this a few times over ourselves, but don't worry at about .03Hz we think you can keep up.

Question stems and prompts you can use to draw out the historical thinker in all your students
To begin a unit or lesson focused on historical significance:
• Why should we bother to learn about X (a person, event, or development)?
• Why does everyone remember Y?
• Why is X historically significant?
• What was the importance of X (a person or document)?
• Was X (a person or document) really that important?

Question stems and prompts you can use to draw out the historical thinker in all your students
To make reasoned and insightful inferences:
• This clearly shows that …
• From X (a detail) we can infer that …
• X (a detail) suggests that …
• It doesn’t say so, but … is probably the case, because X (a detail) …

Question stems and prompts you can use to draw out the historical thinker in all your students
To increase familiarity with some of the elements of continuity and change and related vocabulary:
• How would you describe the things that have stayed the same since X (a date or event)?
• How would you describe the changes? Were they widespread or limited in scope? Did they happen suddenly or slowly?
• Did the changes improve things (that is, progress), or did they make things worse (that is, decline)?
• Why did certain elements stay the same while others changed?
