Contributors: Dassa, Lori, Hernandez, Christina
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: The objective of my research was to determine if
whole brain teaching strategies could help increase
students’ academic scores in an urban elementary
classroom. To test this hypothesis, I created a pre/
post assessment cycle design focusing on whole
brain chants and gestures taught during a science
unit on the states of matter. Participants included
20 first grade ELL students at Park… more

Description: Spatial intelligence is the ability to conceptualize and
comprehend complicated visual scenes. Previous
studies have shown that scanning patterns change
based on the content and the layout viewed. For example,
subjects will scan a webpage differently when
imagery is present as opposed to reading text-only
pages. This study proposes the question: Does the
element of time have a crucial… more

Description: Peptides and proteins with photochemical sensors
are valuable tools when analyzing biochemical processes
and peptide properties. Recent work on
fluorescent α-amino acids (FlAAs) proved extremely
useful in studying protein folding, conformational
changes and reactivity. When fluorescent tags are
appropriately attached to proteins they allow for the
detection of their environment and changes… more
