students get confused when learning about fractions. At our grade level we teach about parts of a whole, equal shares, and partitioning. 1. Starfish, shark, whale and dolphin probability: The probability of picking a starfish will equal the number of starfish (3) divided by the total number (10). Therefore, the probability of the student picking a starfish is 3/10. The probability of picking a shark will be 3 sharks out of 10. This equals 3/10 The probability of whales will be 3/10 and the probability

I am a product manager intern at MIT Starfish, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology start-up company, a nonprofit that helps to place disabled professionals into the workforce. When I suffered from burns on my feet at the age of ten and then had to relearn how to walk again, I learned to empathize deeply with people who have disabilities.

The Crown of Thorns Starfish robot (COTSbot) developed by the Queensland University of Technology will kill the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) – which is responsible for destroying about 50% of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Discovery News reports. COTSbot, which operates autonomously, recently performed well on trial test and its creators plan to deploy it in December. Until then, the robot needs to be tested on the reef. HOW IT DETECTS THE PREY In an interview with the BBC, COTSbot researcher

organizations. Yet, do these organizations effectively follow a systems thinking approach? Loren Eiseley’s, The Starfish Story has become a powerful analogy for how we should act as global citizens. It tells the tale of a young man who attempts to save starfish by throwing them back into the water. Throughout his endeavors, he is questioned by a wise man who observes that there are too many starfish to be saved by a single person. The young man responds

The poem is starfish by Lorna Dee Cervantes. At first glance this poem looks like it's about starfish but it's not about starfish at all. this poem is about people and how people think they die for a cause. Starfish is the best poem ever. Lorna uses sight very well in her poem. “Quartz and jasper sand”(Cervantes 1). This is so good because you can really picture the sand.

You can’t make a difference!” After listening to politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf, Then smiling at the man, he said ‘I made a difference to that one.’” (Eisley, Loren The Starfish Story) Treat one another

Abstract Why is a starfish so slow but never has tiny particles like algae and barnicles on it? The answer is pedicellariae. Pedicellariae are the spikes on starfish. They engulf algae and barnicles before they can attach to the starfish. We’re designing a boat paint that is able to mimic the functions of pedicellariae. Boat paint has been affecting aquatic habitats for thousands of years and counting. Scientists have tried changing the ingredients but no matter what they try, species of animals

acorn barnacles, gooseneck barnacles, and mussels are also present. Mobile consumers such as chitin, starfish, and whelk. The invasive mobile consumer is the green crab. Animals such as starfish compete with others like green crabs for mussels. Starfish and whelk prey on and also compete for the gooseneck barnacle. Whelk and green crab also compete for the acorn barnacles. The competition between starfish and green crab over mussels is what led me to my hypothesis as the mussel is one of the largest
