Explorers Ks2 Planning

[Hebe Newnam]

Usethis Famous Explorers KS1 History pack to introduce your class to two intrepid explorers (and a few more!) with this scheme of work for Year 1 and Year 2. Your class will meet Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, investigating why they are remembered today, what they achieved and how they are similar to or different from each other. This scheme of work concludes with the children learning about some additional explorers and sharing what they have learnt.

This set of 7 lessons provides a fun and engaging way to help your children understand these two famous men and includes everything you need to deliver the lessons, including lesson plans, slides, worksheets, games and much more.

The first lesson in this series introduces your class to Christopher Columbus and explains what he was trying to achieve by sailing west from Europe. They will discover what life was like in the 15th century and how it differs to life today, as well as discovering interesting facts about Columbus.

This lesson investigates Columbus' famous voyage of 1492. Children will be reminded that Columbus was trying to find a quick way to get to Asia before discovering where he actually ended up! They will also think about what a sea journey might have been like in 1492 and compare this to sea travel today.

This lesson examines why Columbus' journey to the Americas was so significant and how this changed people's lives. They will also explore some of the objects he brought back to Europe, including pineapples, potatoes and turkeys, and meet some of the other explorers who sailed to America after Columbus. Children can then demonstrate all their Columbus knowledge in a fun board game!

After looking at pictures of both Columbus and Armstrong to identify differences, your children will find out how the exploration of the world changed after Columbus. They will also find out facts about the most famous astronaut in history, discover why he is remembered today and explore what the world was like in the 1960s.

This lesson explores the Apollo 11 mission and man's first landing on the moon. Your class will be encouraged to think about how Armstrong and the other astronauts might have felt and discover what everyday items have been developed thanks to space exploration.

Now that your class know lots about both Armstrong and Columbus, they can use what they have found out to compare the lives and achievements of both explorers. They will think of as many comparisons as they can and sort information into Venn diagrams. There is also the opportunity for some role-play.

The final lesson in this series offers your children the chance to consolidate all they have learnt about a range of explorers. Your class will be introduced to the first person to reach the bottom of The Mariana Trench, the first woman to sail solo around the world, the first person to ski alone across the Antarctic landmass, and more. They will share their knowledge in a variety of ways and have the opportunity to think about where they would like to explore.

The Willmar Police Department is proud to offer to the community the Willmar Police Explorers Program. The program is comprised of youth aged 14 until 21 who have an interest in learning about law enforcement and what police officers do every day.

Explorers meet every second and fourth Monday of the month between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm. At the meetings, explorers learn from classroom and role-playing lessons taught by police officer advisors.

Some of the meetings include lessons on:

Nowadays, nobody goes diving in unknown places; instead, they turn to a diving center for safe and exciting dives. These centers carefully select the most attractive sites, allowing divers to choose dives of different levels according to their experience. Additionally, they provide necessary rental equipment and offer expert logistical assistance.

Dive centers are typically situated in areas with various options available. They usually offer a wide range of planned dive sites, from simple dives suitable for beginners to those requiring advanced skills and tailored for experienced divers. Thus, on any given day, they offer dives of different difficulty levels so that divers can choose accordingly.

In the actual dive planning, once again, it will depend on your personal experience as a diver. The dive center will indicate the dive depth and bottom time (we have it visible and published on the website). We can make recommendations when we know the client and their level of experience. Of course, it is ultimately up to the individual to choose.

Dive centers, typically, choose multi-level dives, avoiding excessively deep or long dives. Serious dive centers such as Dressel Divers rarely plan dives exceeding 30 meters to stay within conservative recreational limits.

Dive centers also provide larger tanks for heavy air consumers so that their personal dive plan need not diverge significantly from that of the group, in terms of bottom time and prioritize dive computers for more accurate bottom time planning and readings.

Equipment is crucial, but beginners usually rely on dive centers for gear. Professionals adapt equipment based on dive planning and location. For example, at Dressel Divers, we offer different wetsuit thicknesses depending on the dive environment. Beginners typically arrive with minimal gear, relying on the center for the rest.

Emergency procedures are crucial. What if I get separated from my buddy? How should I act if I run out of air? What do I do if the current separates me and sends me far away from my companions? And what if a buddy becomes unconscious and I need to bring them to the surface? These are all situations that a certified rescue diver or higher knows how to handle.

We have already seen that dive planning according to the manual involves a lot of detail, but just because a dive center facilitates decision-making for us does not mean that these skills are not important.

Historic aerial photographs are valuable resources for planning activities like landscape and land use analysis, environmental impact assessments, development projects, and education. These images provide a method for examining changes in properties, neighborhoods, and land use in general. You also can examine changes in historical, environmental, or architectural information about certain sites over time.

RayStation automates parts of the treatment planning process with support for tools such as templates and plan-generation protocols. These are the steps in the planning process which can be automated, such as using atlas-based segmentation, creating plans, setting dose grid resolution, adding beams and optimization functions or settings. Protocols create plans automatically, which drastically reduces planning time.

Scripting in RayStation provides automation, connectivity and flexibility beyond the standard user interface. Script languages IronPython and CPython give users access to all the operating system capabilities and applications such as file writing, process initiation, communication with other computers, and controlling scriptable applications such as Microsoft Office or .NET.

Clinic-specific procedures can be automated through scripting. Scripts can check for properties in a plan, such as small segments, disconnected target volumes, hotspots and undesirable gantry and couch angles. The system can then display a warning message or create a report.

Scripting enables users to harness the power of RayStation in the way that best serves the needs of their facility. It can be used to create functionality that is not specifically available in the standard interface, such as automatic marker detection, exportation of images of non-standard dose planes, and images of all control points can be utilized as desired.

The automated breast planning solution in RayStation is the first step in our journey to automate routine and standard procedures. RayAutoBreast was initially developed in Toronto, Canada. Between 2009 and 2012, clinicians at Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) ran a large-scale clinical study to evaluate the performance of automated treatment planning for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for tangential breast treatments. They concluded that it could add tremendous degrees of efficiency and standardization, as well as quality to current treatment planning processes. The use of automated procedures will allow for faster adoption of IMRT together with increased access to care improvements for breast cancer patients [1].

Part 1: Freddie Cardel outlines the concept of automatic plan generation with Plan Explorer and demonstrates a completely new level of automation. He explains the approach, where large numbers of high-quality treatment plans are automatically generated for defined clinical goals and combinations of treatment techniques and machines and shows how these plans can be easily filtered and browsed to find the most suitable candidates to be evaluated.

Part 2: Erik Korevaar and Roel Kierkels present the first findings of the clinical evaluation they performed at University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands, and describe how the center envisions the use of the tool in clinical practice.

The Lake Stevens Police Department hosts an Explorer Program overseen by a sergeant, two patrol advisors, and non-commissioned advisors. Law Enforcement Exploring is a career-oriented program that gives young adults the opportunity to partner with local law enforcement agencies. This program is open to qualified young adults, ages 14 (and have completed the 8th grade) until the age of 20.

Lake Stevens Police Explorers meet the first and third Tuesday of every month in the new Lake Stevens Police Department at 1825 S Lake Stevens Rd, Lake Stevens, WA 98258. Meetings may have to be canceled for a variety of reasons. Please email policee...@lakestevenswa.gov to confirm.

Meetings are spent learning about the different aspects of a career in law enforcement, as well as hands-on training and practical experience, and event planning. Explorers are encouraged to do at least one ride-a-long per quarter (16 years or older). The Explorer will document what type of calls they went on and what they learned to help learn the skills of writing and observation.
