There is a chance parasites in the stomach are the cause of your symptoms. There are simple ways to get rid of them so you can have a healthy gut again.
Here's a perfect way to learn about Newton's 3rd Law. This upper elementary STEM Challenge is a student favorite and easy prep for you. Editable lab sheets are included and will guide students through the design process. What is the challenge? Students will use materials to design and create a Newton’s Cradle. In this event, students will review what they know about the laws of motion- especially the third law. Students will have to build the frame for the device, a way to attach strings to the marbles, and a way to attach strings to the frame. This can include measuring as the length of the strings is a factor. What is your prep? You will need supplies in addition to this package. This includes craft sticks, straws or beads, masking tape, marbles, string, low-temp glue guns, and glue- one glue gun per team. The option of using low-temp glue for the assembly is yours to make. You may want to ask for parental help in your classroom- depending on the age of your students. NOTE: This was tested with fifth graders and is recommended for that age group or older students. This is an amazing challenge, but it is a challenge. It may take many tries to get the strings attached and working. Students will love the task and cheer when their device works - even if it works imperfectly! The package specifically includes: Cover Teacher background Materials and preparation page 9 pages of teacher directions Constraints list in 2 styles A special page of information about Newton’s Laws of Motion 5 pages of photographs Student lab sheet in 2 versions Scoring rubric Terms of Use page Forms for this challenge are provided in an editable format! Student answer sheets are not included, but samples from student work are included in the teacher direction pages. The page count listed for this package includes everything. This challenge will need 1 - 2 class sessions to complete. We needed two full-class sessions to complete this project. This challenge works perfectly with these Newton challenges: Build a Bottle Car Build an Egg Car ➡️ Click here to save 20% on this STEM Challenge in a bundle of 3! ➡️ Click here to save 20% on this STEM Challenge in a bundle of 6! NEWTON'S LAWS The simplified version of the third law is that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So How Does This Apply to Newton’s Cradles? This is easily demonstrated with a purchased Newton’s Cradle. We had to drop one marble, then 2, then 3, and then 4 to get every student to see that the force is always equal and works the same on opposite sides. Building a Newton’s Cradle is the perfect item to share with the third law of motion. ***************************************************************************** Be the first to know about my new discounts, freebies, and product launches: Click here to follow my store.

It was my turn to organize the project/lab for our co-op of Apologia’s Human Anatomy and Physiology. We just finished Chapter 4 on the digestive system where the suggested project was to make a digestive themed amusement park. That seemed a little more “arts & crafts” than science to me so I went in search of something better—AND FOUND IT! I found my inspiration from two websites: O2 learn has a great video of the process, but no materials list (you’ll want to watch it for her great British accent anyway); Squidoo has a similar lab (with a materials list), but it leaves out some steps and relies on a blender-- which we don’t have in our bodies. So this is my mish-mash of the two. WARNING: You may not want to read this post soon after eating, there are pictures of the process. Andrew Pudewa of IEW once said that a great way to engage kids who’d rather build forts all day was to make sure the subject was either funny, dangerous or gross. This activity falls into the last category…it was so engaging that my Schnickelfritz forgot to start taking pictures until half way through. Just what I want as a teacher, but bad for blogging so I recreated some of the first steps for this post. This is a fairly inexpensive project since you’ll probably find most of what you need in your house already. The foil pans you’ll see below came from a catered dinner – I just picked out the pans in the best shape and washed them up. I’ve used them for several years of science co-op. They’re big enough for two kids to work at each and allow me to work with liquids away from the sink. The person transferring the mixes from stage to stage may want a pair of gloves – rubber gloves for dish washing or plastic gloves from a hair dye kit. My husband the Toolman had just had surgery and the nurse let me have a few pairs from their supply drawer. THE MOUTH Supplies Equipment soft foods A bowl or tray drink kitchen shears water mixed w/ laundry detergent potato masher We begin with our lunch—a PB&J sandwich (great way to use up the heels which no one our house likes), a banana, and some grape-aid. Use whatever you have handy but try to keep it soft – it needs to be smashable so no carrots. You could probably add tortilla or potato chips which would dissolve with liquid. My inspiration sites used a can of spaghetti and oatmeal. I did go buy the drink packet, but didn’t waste any sugar since no one would actually be consuming it. The kitchen shears represent the incisors – cutting the food into bites. Pour some of the beverage in as well. This is still too big to swallow so we’ll begin to smash everything with the potato masher, playing the role of the molars. The water/detergent mixture represents saliva so pour some of that in now. Our detergent happens to be clear but if yours is colored don’t worry – we’re hoping to achieve a brown outcome so the more colors the merrier. Just remember all the liquid you add now will need to be removed in the small & large intestines so don’t add too much (we still have more to add later). Everything is now poured into a Ziploc bag. THE STOMACH Supplies Equipment Acidic liquid 1 Gal. Ziploc bag green food coloring When you close the Ziploc bag, make sure to remove most of the air. Otherwise when you start kneading the bag it may pop and we don’t need any reverse peristalsis here. We’ll also be adding something to represent stomach acid. One site used apple cider vinegar, but we happened to have just polished off a jar of dill pickles so I used that juice instead. Given a little time and an enthusiastic lab assistant you can create a fairly smooth chyme. I also added green food coloring to represent bile. This doesn’t happen in the stomach (and I explained that to the kids) but it is easier to mix the color in at this stage. THE SMALL INTESTINE Supplies Equipment no new supplies leg from pantyhose a deep tray to catch liquid rubber or surgical gloves canning funnel Next time you get a run in your hose you might want to save it to stand in for the small intestine. I didn’t have one so we used an old knee-high stocking. The funnel is really there for ease of transfer but you could mention it is playing the role of the sphincter, although it isn’t able to open and close like a real one could. Pour the chyme into the stocking over a tray because the liquid will start coming out immediately. Poor Mr. B in the photo above was thoroughly grossed out at this point, but he couldn’t resist watching his younger brother squeeze the mix through the intestine (he even managed to smile). The more liquid you manage to get out at this point, the less you’ll have to deal with in the next stage so you might want to expound on the process at this point and let the mix drain. You can either cut a hole the the toe of the stocking and push the mix through (more accurate), or roll the stocking up like you were going to put it on and then invert the mix out at the top. THE LARGE INTESTINE Supplies Equipment no added supplies a plush towel a deep tray to catch liquid Empty the contents of the stocking onto a folded towel. We’re going to wring the towel to remove more of the liquid just like what occurs in the large intestine. I used a very old towel for this part but after the lab it came out of the laundry perfectly clean. As long as you haven’t gone overboard with the food coloring and Kool-aid you should be fine. Open the towel and put the contents into a plastic bag for the final stage. The Rectum Supplies Equipment no added supplies a plastic bag a tray or plate What started out as lunch looks essentially done at this point and you could stop, but I used a gray shopping bag to represent the rectum. In hindsight that wasn’t the best choice as the bag just stretched and the mix came out in the same lumps we had from the large intestine. Perhaps we’d squeezed out too much water or perhaps we needed less flexible material. We could have used a cloth pastry bag –there weren’t any toxic materials used. In the end, nobody was too grossed out – in fact some of the boys are holding the end results in the photo and Schnickelfritz is just hamming it up for the camera. It will be some time before they forget our trip through the digestive system. Don't miss a thing! Subscribe to Ozark Ramblings and get my posts in your inbox.

I am very much a lone-wolf and an intrepid one at that. I venture into hot pot restaurants most white people would consider too foreign or too edgy, I read the menus in their original Chinese and order my food in either Mandarin or Cantonese which I’ve taught myself.By Tom ClementsAspergians are natural iconoclasts. It’s rare that we fit into subcultural norms or into the wider society in general, which is what makes us such a unique tribe of individuals. I think many of us have a very sophisticated, and much underappreciated, sense of style. Nikola Tesla, the inventor who is strongly suspected to have had Asperger Syndrome, was an example of how downright cool Aspergians can be. He ignored conventional attitudes and pursued his own interests religiously, unencumbered by what others thought and without ulterior motive. His relentless pursuits in science led him to become one of humanity’s greatest ever contributors.Often Aspergians become so obsessive about a certain subject that we become Zen masters of it, often to the envy of others. The petty fears and apprehensions of what others might think are quite irrelevant when we’re consumed by our special interest, sometimes to the detriment of other things. Tesla had no girlfriend, no sex life and very few activities outside of his interest in science and invention. His ability to focus on one thing and one thing only for extended periods of time made him the great person he was, but also an icon for maverick thinkers.On a Saturday, my only day off work, when others around me are planning shopping trips with their families or cinema outings with their friends, I am up early doing cool stuff on my own. I pursue my special interest which is the culture of East Asia. I am very much a lone-wolf and an intrepid one at that. I venture into hot pot restaurants most white people would consider too foreign or too edgy, I read the menus in their original Chinese and order my food in either Mandarin or Cantonese which I’ve taught myself. Being an egotist at heart, I receive enormous satisfaction knowing I’m one of the few English people out there who is brave enough to do this sort of stuff. In my case, I feel at one with East Asian culture, more at home eating youtiao and cheung fan with chopsticks than I am doing something ‘normal’ like going to the pub with mates.On the way to Chinatown, I stop off sometimes at Brick Lane where all the hipsters are, usually to pick up some Bengali sweets like burfi or gulab jamun for the train ride home. I really feel sorry for those guys. They come across as so phony, so self-conscious, it’s painful. I bet they secretly wish they were as free as me, the Aspergian adventurer with an iconoclastic bent. While they eat over-priced soughdough made by tattooed bakers, I am eating the best dim sum outside of Hong Kong for a fraction of the price. While they wear jeans so tight they look as their legs are suffocating underneath, I am totally free and at ease in my typically eccentric mix of tracksuit bottoms, suede boots, plain black t-shirt and a battered Red Sox cap.In Chinatown, I am a blue-eyed, brown-haired boy in a sea of straight black hair and olive faces. While Mando-pop blares from nearby shops, I sing along, having spent much of my free time during the week learning the lyrics to Wang Lee Hom and Jay Chou. Finally, I sit alone at the Peace Pagoda with other Chinese, baozi in one hand, bubble tea in the other. I’m pretty bloody cool and having Asperger Syndrome makes me pretty bloody cool.Cover image: Nikola Tesla***Tom is a 27-year-old writer from the UK.
