Congratulations! You have been asked to present at a conference called the American Public University System Symposium in a session on Current Science Knowledge in Support of Popular Science Writing. 🙂 Using PowerPoint or another visual tool, integrate what you have learned regarding the current state of knowledge in support or in contrast to the book you selected for review this session.
Within the presentation be sure to provide some background on the book, the author, the time period in which it was written and/or published, and the influence the book has had on the field of environmental science. Your research and analysis should really shine through in this presentation, and you should be identifying the key themes in the book and specifically what current science says about them.
Prepare this presentation for a professional scientific audience. Use appropriate vocabulary and concepts that demonstrate your mastery of key topics in the environmental sciences. Cite all sources correctly. If you make a slide presentation, include appropriate slide titles and offer visuals and support for the topic. Be sure you include a cover slide that identifies the webinar title, the conference title, the author (that’s you!), and the date.
You will be graded on the accuracy and quality of information, the integration of academic information, and the overall presentation and effective use of presentation tools. Goals of this project include encouraging development of research skills, familiarization with presentation design, and practice in communicating to a professional scientific audience.
The presentation should be developed in PowerPoint or a similar design program. You *must* narrate the presentation. You can do this in a number of different ways. For example, you can use a screen capture app like screencast-o-matic and upload to YouTube, you can use Kaltura here in the classroom (in the text editor, the icon for Kaltura looks a little like a firework – it is a small open circle with lines radiating out and is in the same area as the buttons for inserting a photo or inserting a table), or you can record on your smartphone or from your video camera. Do not limit yourself to technology you know, as it is pretty easy to make a recording these days given all of the readily available technology.
The presentation should be between 4-6 minutes long and clearly demonstrate the depth of your knowledge regarding the science behind the selected book.
Presentation
Follow the directions are as follows with the presentation. The references that you use make sure it’s in detail with chapter 12. You can add a couple of pictures to the slides including a 3-5 minute video at the end of the PowerPoint and make sure it’s related to chapter 12. Also add a one page summary regarding chapter 12 and please follow the grading rubric.
Please follow the directions are as follows. While reading the article please provide every detail from the references to the presentation. Please follow the grading rubric as listed. When you use the link in the assignment box go to the 3 lines on the top right hand side. When you click the lines click on collections after that click on curated collections. Once you click that scroll down until you see mercury collections. When you click on mercury collections scroll down and you see multiple of articles reports. You can choose from those but I will send a picture so you can choose.
Please answer this question after reading this article:
https://www.nytimes.com/article/ohio-train-derailment.html
On February 3 in East Palestine, Ohio, there was a train derailment. The train, operated by Norfolk Southern, had been carrying chemicals and combustible materials, including vinyl chloride(opens in new window), a known carcinogen. On Feb. 6, the authorities released the toxic materials from five tankers, and the contents were diverted to a trench and burned off.
In what environmental compartment/compartments was the toxicant released? Where might it end up and what factors will come into play in determining where it might end up? If you were to make some predictions about the lasting effects of this event, what sorts of things would you want to consider (specific chemical properties, where it might end up, etc)? Can you think of at least one tool we have studied that you might use to help in making these predictions?
As a follow-up to the previous question (train derailment), if this site were to be declared a Superfund site and it was determined that water or sediment was one area that was highly contaminated, fish might be sampled to monitor the cleanup. List 3 of the many factors you would want to abide by when sampling the fish and tell me why each would be important to adhere to.
Topic 1: Genetic Inheritance and Mutation
Mutations are changes that occur within the genes of an organism. Sometimes these mutations impact a single gene, while other mutations impact the number or structure of entire chromosomes. Since many mutations change just one tiny piece of information in one single piece of DNA, they usually do not cause any problems. For example, imagine if someone sent you a long email and accidentally misspelled the word “friend” as “freind.” You would still understand the email and would probably still even catch the original meaning – this is a good analogy for what happens with a point mutation, where just one part of a gene is changed.
However, sometimes a single mistake can make a big difference. Imagine if, while composing a long email, you accidentally select and delete an entire paragraph or perhaps auto-correct changes a critical word. You can imagine (and perhaps have even experienced) how such a mistake might cause great confusion and miscommunication.
Many genetic disorders are caused by changes to a single gene in the form of a point mutation or due to a chromosomal abnormality like a chromosome disorder. Sometimes these mutations are passed from one generation to the next, just like other harmless traits like eye color and blood type. These mutations may cause specific disorders, or they may predispose a person to a common disease like cancer or heart disease.
Review the Discussion resources to learn more about genetics and the implications of our genetic knowledge:
During the week, discuss the following with your classmates. Be sure to use the provided course materials and feel free to share additional information you find in the PG Library or through your own research.
Imagine that you have a particular genetic trait and that you have four children. Two of the four children also possess this trait. Meanwhile, the other biological parent of your children does not possess the trait.
Explain why you think the trait in the scenario is dominant or recessive.
Based upon your response, describe why it would or would not be possible for the trait in the scenario to “skip” a generation.
Patterns of inheritance within organisms like pea plants, fruit flies, mice, and others are somewhat easy to determine since their mating practices can easily be controlled. Apart from controlling who mates with whom, what other characteristics make species like these ideal for studying genetics?
Select and describe a health problem that you believe has a genetic component at least partially inherited. If you do not identify an inherited health condition within your family, choose a disease that interests you or impacts a friend or other family member.
Would you be interested in having genetic testing to determine whether you carry a genetic mutation for a particular disorder or a genetic predisposition for a disease? Why/why not? What are the advantages and disadvantages of determining your predisposition?
Explore the current state of research for the health problem you selected. Focus on one of the following to discuss as they relate to the genetics of the disease:
Cause
Testing/Screening/Prevention
Treatments/Therapies/Cures
Throughout the week, discuss similarities and differences between the diseases you and your classmates describe.
It’s an Argumentative essay in APA 7th edition that is on if Electric Vehicles are beneficial for the environment
and the thesis is that they are and the whole essay has to talk about how they are and include quotes from the articles and include information from them as well.

Any quotes taken from the book, must be documented in the paper with a
parenthetical reference that includes pg #s, e.g. (Smith, pgs. 342-3).
When you use any additional sources that are critiquing the book or addressing its
influence or about the author(s), these also need to be cited in the essay with last
name(s), date of publication and pgs numbers, e.g., (Gibson 2020: 245-46). A
References Cited section must be provided at the end of the essay if you use any
sources apart from the book you read. Provide complete citations using either
MLA or APA styles.
