McLucas, Alan S.; Wilson, Sarah E.; Lovette, Gail E.; Therrien, William J. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2023
Journalists have reported large-scale lead poisoning affecting children in cities such as Flint, Michigan. Unfortunately, children's exposure to lead is not isolated and occurs throughout the country in both urban and rural settings. The effects of lead exposure can cause children to develop disabilities, potentially requiring special education…

Oshio, Toko; Kupperman, Jeff – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2022
In response to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, USA, early childhood education was one of the targets of intervention and prevention for children who were exposed to lead poisoning, because high-quality child care could potentially help improve their developmental trajectories. The Provider Empowerment Program used human-centered design (HCD)…

Fisher, Matthew R. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Storytelling can stimulate learning by delivering scientific content within a narrative that increases comprehension and engagement. In this article I describe the coevolutionary arms race between toxic newts and predatory garter snakes. This engaging story centers on the use of a deadly neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin (TTX) as an antipredator…

Malinich, Timothy J.; Kowalski, Jacqueline; Behnke, Charles – Journal of Extension, 2021
A diagnostic walkabout (DW) is an in-field diagnostic training program for professionals in the green industry (greenhouse, landscape, nursery, and turf businesses). DWs have been scheduled annually since 2002 and are easily replicable, fee-based programs that provide cost recovery. DWs also serve as a mentoring program for new Extension…

Loux, Travis; Gibson, Andrew K. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2019
Although the use of real-world data sets is encouraged when teaching statistics, it can be difficult for instructors to find meaningful data for introducing students to univariate descriptive statistics such as the mean, median, and percentiles. The recent lead contamination of the water supply in Flint, Michigan, provides a real-life data set…

Dick, Nathaniel – Natural Sciences Education, 2019
The sunflower head moth is considered the most damaging pest to sunflowers in Kansas. This small cigar shaped moth can severely impact the yield of commercial sunflowers. A sunflower plant infested with sunflower head moth larvae can also become very susceptible to Rhizopus fungi which causes head rot and can significantly add to the economical…

Wang, Hui; Li, Zheyu; Ding, Jie; Ren, Nanqi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This experiment combines analytical techniques of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-QTOF-MS) to determine organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in river water as a means to develop and improve student understanding of the use of GC-QTOF-MS for qualitative and quantitative analysis. In…

Barrett, Eric; Kowalski, Jacqueline – Journal of Extension, 2018
The growth of community gardens has created new opportunities for urban Extension personnel at a time when staffing resources continue to decline. To serve the integrated pest management (IPM) needs of community gardening populations, Extension educators in two urban counties developed an on-site program involving a demonstration kit and planning…

Zerger, Sarah – Natural Sciences Education, 2017
Sugarcane aphids are becoming a more prevalent pest in sorghum in the United States, especially in the south and are making their way north. There are many management practices that can be used on sugarcane aphids, the most important being scouting and maintaining populations. The most common mistake once a pest has been found is to immediately…

Gallegos, Lorena; Maricle, Denise E. – Communique, 2022
Lead is a naturally occurring element that is extremely toxic to human beings. When children inadvertently ingest lead, their bodies confuse it with calcium, iron, and other nutritional essential metals, causing toxicity. School psychologists more than ever are in perfect positions, with the proper training, to possibly identify children who are…

Hedger, Joseph – National Association of State Boards of Education, 2019
Elevated blood lead levels in children--even at very low levels--contribute to learning deficits and behavioral and attentional problems. No federal law requires the testing of drinking water in schools, and recent reports from the Government Accountability Office reveal a dearth of lead testing of water or paint in school buildings. This NASBE…

Curran, Mary Carla; Richlen, Mindy L. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2019
Marine phytoplankton comprise the foundation of oceanic food webs and generate most of the Earth's oxygen. Of the many phytoplankton species in the ocean, a few dozen produce potent toxins, and at high concentrations can form what are called Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) or "red tides" that can discolor marine waters. Managers and…

Peters, Scott J. – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2022
K-12 gifted and talented programs have struggled with racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, native language, and disability inequity since their inception. This inequity has been well documented in public schools since at least the 1970s and has been stubbornly persistent despite receiving substantial attention at conferences, in scholarly journals, and…

Yohannan, Justina; Johnstone, Brittany – Communique, 2018
With the recent media coverage of lead exposure in cities like Flint, Baltimore, and Newark, it is critical that school psychologists familiarize themselves with the symptoms, assessment, and intervention of lead exposure since schools will likely work with children and families exposed to lead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC,…

Karaali, Gizem; Khadjavi, Lily S. – PRIMUS, 2019
We provide context and motivation for an instructor to use real-life examples in the calculus classroom. To this end we describe two specific project ideas, one related to the devastating impact of methylmercury fungicide in a grain seed supply and the other to a catastrophic methane leak. By using calculus in contexts that have social justice…
