As Couso (2020) mentioned, a model-focused teaching would be to put students in the situation of building themselves “adequate enough” explanations, in other words, to construct school-based scientific models to describe the behaviour of the world and to comprehend how it works (Aduriz-Bravo ...
Earth itself is an approximation of a closed system, or a system in which, despite the sound of its name, exchanges of energy (but not matter) with the environment are possible. Earth absorbs electromagnetic energy from the Sun and returns that energy to space in a different...
We then get into why Gary thinks you should make the move to living off the grid in a series of steps, the first of which is to simplify your existing life in three main ways. Gary then makes the case for why living in an RV should be the next step in your journey before discussin...
First, we challenge the consensus regarding the universally positive effects of trust by suggesting that feeling trusted may have the potential to induce subordinates CWB. In doing so, this research provides a more dialectical perspective in understanding the effects of feeling trusted. Second, not ...
experts often rely on assumptions about what Maranta et al. (2003) call the ‘imagined lay person’. Marres (2005) describes how these actors are sometimes then organised into a single imagined construct: an ‘anonymous, collective, virtual, somewhat mysterious creature we call public’ (p.216...
Use something strong to construct this foundation, though, as 55 gallons (208 gallons) of water weighs almost 500 pounds (226.8 kilograms). Concrete blocks work nicely. Once the platform is in place, you can link the downspout to the rain barrel. Mark the downspout a foot or two above ...

Septic systems are designed so that only the effluent is discharged from the tank into the drain field (also called the leach field). This is simply a set of pipes with holes drilled into them that release the effluent below ground (but above the water table). The effluent is degraded eno...
Subsequent to this, we discuss the emerging literature on neural effects of poverty. A caveat for this review: while "poverty" is not always synony- mous with low SES (a multidimensional construct typically defined by income, insurance status, education, and/or job category), differentiating ...
This article uses the policy-oriented learning literature to provide practical insights on how to enhance the use of evidence by policymakers. After a short introduction to the field, this article presents four steps to understanding and responding
