21 Thanks to globalization, driven by modern communications and other advances, workers in virtually every sector must now face competitors who live just a mouse-click away... Without a renewed effort to bolster the foundations of our competitiveness... the nation s children could face poorer prospects than their parents and grandparents did.

56 1.Place the decimal point in quotient 2.Count off in groups of two in both directions from the decimal point. 3.Ask yourself, "What is the largest perfect square equal to or just below (near) the first group of numbers to the left side in the dividend?" 4."What is the square root of that number?" Write the square root in the quotient. 5.Work like division --- multiply the quotient by the divisor. Then bring down the next group of numbers. In division you bring down one number, but in square root you bring down two numbers. 6.Bring down the next group of numbers. In division you bring down one number, but in square root you bring down two numbers. external processign of symbols external storage of symbols symbolic representation shared representation 7.You must create a new divisor by doubling the quotient or by adding the last digit in the quotient to the last divisor. When you get your next divisor, write it with a space to the right of it. 8.Find a number that goes in the space to the right of the divisor and will go in the quotient so the number you put in the quotient times the divisor is less then the current dividend. 9.Repeat steps 5 thru 6 if you run out of digits add zeros like in division except add 2 zeros at a time instead of one David Williamson Shaffer

94 Chess grandmasters, engrossed in a game, can lose entirely the awareness that they are manipulating pieces on a board and see themselves rather as involved participants in a world of opportunities, threats, strengths, weaknesses, hopes, and fears. When playing rapidly, they sidestep dangers in the same automatic way that a teenager, himself an expert, might avoid missiles in a familiar video game.

157 activity: My person digital zoo image: description of work: These are the legs of my person so it don t fall. I tried to make it have the same weight so one is not heavier and the other is not lighter so I made it like this. created 6/23/2005 1:56 PM digital zoo engineering design document 2005 page David Williamson Shaffer

158 activity: My person digital zoo image: description of work: I added a head and a torso. I wanted to make it balance so I guess I made squares. created 6/23/2005 1:56 PM digital zoo engineering design document 2005 page David Williamson Shaffer

159 activity: My person digital zoo image: description of work: I now added two arms. I wanted the arms to spread out to keep the balance median, so it won t fall. created 6/23/2005 1:56 PM digital zoo engineering design document 2005 page David Williamson Shaffer

160 activity: My person digital zoo image: description of work: This person is very confusing to hold itself up. It is very hard to make it stay. And it is very not balancing. I think that I need to give it more support. I will maybe have to add more things. At first I thought that it was easy but when it collapsed I had to think harder than before and I felt really confused but I thought carefully what would an engineer do so I thought very hard for a sec and it kind of started to turn easy. created 4/20/2006 6:13 AM digital zoo engineering design document 2005 page David Williamson Shaffer

163 Maybe where it s like the strongest of gravity? 2007 David Williamson Shaffer

164 Center of mass is like not the middle, but the point where weight is divided evenly. The weight is distributed on both sides Center of mass is like where most weight is equal. Kind of like the place where you put your finger and balance something on it without falling. Pretty much where all the weight is equaled out and you can balance it doesn t have to be in the middle. It can be a side. It depends I guess what the object looks like. The shape of it where there s more weight David Williamson Shaffer

165

166 I don t know what to say. He just picks up his hand and maybe leans over? I m not sure why David Williamson Shaffer

167 He d have to shift over to the left side to make sure that his center of mass is over his arm and hand and lines up. He d fall over if he didn t do any shifting because the center of mass would still be over here David Williamson Shaffer

168 Scientific Intuitive Pre Post 2007 David Williamson Shaffer

169 The presentations... was when I saw myself as an engineer. There were things I could change about [my designs] because they had certain things to say about it... Some things worked better than another thing so then I could... make mine even better David Williamson Shaffer

170 read problem take toothpicks and add one marshmellow to one side start out with a square-ish base keep adding on in squares, getting smaller each time to make it sturdy, add a strong center David Williamson Shaffer

179 They should have not closed down the recycling plant. They could have cut other stuff, or they could ve raised taxes to increase revenue They should keep a recycling plant because they should be helping to reduce the amount of waste which is their goal. They could export the trash, but then that would cost a lot more money and they re making budget cuts David Williamson Shaffer

180

181 I m looking at connections a lot closer now, usually you ll see connections but you don t think about them as much as I do now. I really noticed how... when they think about building things... urban planners also have to think about how the crime rate might go up, or the pollution or waste, depending on choices David Williamson Shaffer
