These differences presented many uncontrolled variables thatdetracted from quantitative comparison of the two processes. As described below in FutureWork, direct combustion experiments planned in upcoming classes will use a second vacuumbottle to eliminate geometric dissimilarities between the two systems.Wood Ash and Unburned FuelThe ash and unburned fuel remaining at the end of the combustion processes provided additionalcomparisons and efficacy measures between the gasifier and direct combustor. For completecombustion, biomass leaves trace amounts of ash, made up mostly of non-organic chemicals thatdo not burn. However, if inadequate oxygen was available to

Inaddition, the instructor should also provide the students with a detailed plan and the path tracedfor attaining these goals. Such a structure will prepare the students to admire and handle thecourse with great enthusiasm and creative productivity.DESIGN: Secondly, the instructor should design learning modules that can generateinterest and motivate the student body towards becoming metacognitive learners. In otherwords, one should be able manage one’s own learning. Any selected module should build on theprevious module, thereby creating and supporting a value-added mechanism.

. Preparation inengineering also needs to be sensitive to the demand on elementary teachers to integrate acrossthe curriculum, and the lack of time in the school day to do stand-alone engineering. Pre-serviceelementary teachers will be interested in ways to accomplish multiple objectives at once byintegrating other subjects with engineering and vice versa.There is a strong and growing base of evidence showing that with carefully designed support,pre-service elementary teachers can develop at least three key capacities important to highquality science instruction. First, when planning lessons, they can demonstrate understanding ofthe nature of scientific inquiry by adapting existing curriculum materials to better promotestudents’ engagement in each of

For a normal lecture to aclass we normally have built in questions used to illicit student responses, but with video lectureswe had to plan how to incorporate that drawn information in a manner that would encourage thestudent to ponder the information without having to actually respond. Our initial conceived notion was to simply lecture and write our board notes on white piecesof paper with a camera over our shoulder; in the style of the math tutorial videos offered byPatrickJMT of justmathtutoring.com, who has created over 1500 math videos in this manner(many of which were utilized by the authors in graduate school and served as the originalmotivation for this project).
