On this episode of UEN Homeroom,Dani Sloan and Katie Blunt welcome past Homeroom guest, Dr. Darren Draper. Their conversation focuses on the lessons learned during the pandemic, how educators can implement those lessons moving forward and how this past year might have changed education for the better.

In our next Learn @ Home episode of UEN Homeroom we are focusing in on Jr. High with Levi Andersen, a History teacher from Mound Fort Jr. High in Ogden School District. During our conversation we explored topics such as: how Levi is connecting with students who struggle, the role of using Canvas to help with distance teaching, and what kind of babysitter Jared Covili was.

Credit can be a double-edged sword. It offers us the ability to purchase things we might need and want without spending cash but then ties us to the debt that has been created. Understanding the importance of this trade-off is crucial for playing the credit game. A program designed to reach young earners well before serious credit problems can begin.

Early amphibians, walked on land during the paleozoic era, approximately 360 million years ago.

For a few weeks each year, vernal pools explode with a diversity of microscopic and small animal life. This new program visually examines the plethora of living organisms often found in these vibrant, temporary pools. Exploring Vernal Pools covers these organisms: Protozoans, Bacteria, Rotifers, Flatworms, Ostrocods, Waterfleas, Copepods, Clamshrimp, Fairy Shrimp, Tadpole Shrimp, and Insects.

When birds eat, food passes from the mouth to an enlarged part of the esophagus called the crop. Here food is stored and softened, then passes to the gizzard, then travels to the intestine where nutrients are absorbed.

Light energy travels as an electromagnetic wave, and as a stream of moving particles called photons.

When light passes through a prism, the glass slows the light down. Different colors in white light have different wavelengths. Each wavelength is refracted a different amount, causing them to separate into different colors in the process of dispersion.

The basics of using a microscope, and then shows them how to use the light source, condenser, iris diaphram, and different objectives, to get the most out of viewing through the microscope. Students also learn simple methods to create dark field lighting and colored-field lighting as well as polarized light microscopy that will greatly increase their microscopy skills and viewing. The program provides clear examples and beautiful photomicroscopy that will inspire students to build and improve their microscopy skills.
