achondroplasia

Anchondroplasia
Achondroplasia is a disorder of bone growth that causes the most common form of dwarfism. Some common and obvious signs of achondroplasia is shortened limbs, curved spine, and short stature. The average height of the adult with achondroplasia is approximately 4 feet. Achondroplasia only affects on 15 our of 15,000 births. Achondroplasia is an inherited disorder.

Understanding math with Anchondroplasia

Unlike the other disorders I have mentioned so far, disorder does not affect a persons learning ability. For the most part, nothing that involves understanding, not only math, but other subjects as well would be delayed due to this disorder. The one thing that might interact with their learning would be if they have issues ivolving their brain. One example would be if they had the building up of fluid near their brain.

Science relating to Ancondroplasia

Achondroplasia is caused by the mutation in the FGFR3 gene. The FGR3 gene is involved with the development of brain tissues and bone development. This gene is the cause for protein that helps with the develpment of bone. When this gene is overactive or underactive (does too much or does too little) then the skeletal development gets messed up along the way.

Some of the information used this far came from this website and could be looked at if wanting to look for more information.

History of achondroplasia

The gene that is the cause for this disorder was found in 1994 by a doctor named John Wasmuth. In ancient Egypt people with achondroplsia were used for subjects of art. Some of Egyptian gods seemed to appear to have anchonroplasia. Throughout history, many superstitions were associated with achondroplasia. It was thought that this disorder came to be due to a act from demons and as a punishment by the gods.

Achondroplsia relating to Language Arts

Achondroplasia means a skeletal disorder beginning before birth. Achondroplasia is very rarely used as a noun. It's synonyms are achondroplasty and chondrodystrophy. Achondroplasia has only one meaning unlike other words. (Ex. there, their, they're)

Achondroplasia relating to Reading

As I mentioned earlier when discussing learning with math, Achondroplasia doesn't affect a persons learning ability. A person who has this disorder would be able to read as well as a person who does not have achondroplasia. Only in rare cases including medical issues with the brain would have a chance of affecting a persons ability to read.

Saturn-Lindsay, Maricela, Diego

Saturn is the sixth planet away from the sun while the earth is the third away from the sun. Saturn is the second biggest planet while the earth is the fifth biggest planet. It takes about 30 earth years for Saturn to revolve around the sun. Saturns diameter is about nine times greater than the Earth's. Traces of ice are on Saturn and Earth has water, too. Earth is the densest of the planets while Saturn is the least dense.
Eaths atmosphere is Nitrogen and Oxegyn. Saturns atmosphere is Nitrogen and Helium.

Saturns interior consists of a rocky core, a liquid metallic hydrogen layer, and a molecular hydrogen layer. Saturn has thin rings while earth does not. Saturn is a giant gas planet with a delicate system of silky rings.

Geologic time

The definition of geologic time is the physical formation and developement of the earth. The geologic time scale is used to describe the timing of events that occured during the development of the earth. The overall act of the geological time scale is to map the history of the earth. The age of rock in years is called "absolute age".http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/earthsysflr/ages.html That website explained things in an interesting way.

Autism

Autism

Science relates to Autism
Autism developes in the first three years of life and affects a persons' communication and social skills. No one is exactly sure what causes autism or how/if it can be cured. Autism is somehow connected to abnormal chemestry in the brain. Genetics absolutely has something to do with autism though there is no exact understanding how it involves genetics. For example autism seems to be a inherited genetic disorder. People with autism have difficulty reacting to anything social. They don't make friends, play like a normal child, or interact at all. Someone with autism seem have abnormally high or low response to the five senses. This includes, having high or low responses to pain. Some people with autism could have emotional problems which include: anxiety, agression, or irritability. There have been and will be vaccines that are created that try to help cure autism, but many have not worked. Autism could lead to other problems such as mental retardation and seizures. Autism can not be fully cured yet, but with certain types of therapy some of the symoptoms of autism can become less severe. Autism could affect basic learning: math, reading, etc.
The history of autism
The recongnitian of autism first appeared in 1911. The official study of autism though, hadn't begun until the 1960's. The type of "cures" that were tried on people with autism involved pain and punishment. The physical punishments were used to treat there inappropiate behaviors. Of course, these cures didn't work. During the 1980's, though, the treatments began to change to using behavior therapy instead. Before studies on autism became serious, parents were blamed for their childs behavior. People said a person who had good parenting wouldn't have those problems. This statement was more supported by the fact that it was likely a person could have more than one child with autism. Fortunately, though, as time progressed it was studies showed that autism was not caused by bad parenting, but by abnormal brain developement.
Language arts relates to Autism.
The word Autism comes from the word "Auto" meaning self. The term describes conditions in which a person is seperated from the social interactions.
Reading relates to Autism
Every person with autism is different. Some people with autism having reading abilities that come naturally to them, while for others it may be more difficult. For those who do have difficulty with reading need direct orders as to how what the reading means in order to understand it.
Understanding Math with Autism
The same situation with reading applies to math. Everyone with autism is different and for some it is harder to learn math, while for others, it comes naturally. Unfortunately, Autism tends to make everything a little more difficult when it comes to learning so math might not come as naturally to a person with autism as it would with a person who does not.
