Nutty Chocolate Marshmallow Puffs Recipe
5 2
Meet the Cook: We like to do things BIG here in Texas, so don't expect a dainty little barely-a-bite truffle from the surprising recipe. Folks are delighted to discover a big fluffy marshmallow inside the chocolate and nut coating. -Pat Ball, Abilene, Texas
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
- 40 large marshmallows
- 4 cups coarsely chopped pecans (about 1 pound)
- In a heavy saucepan, heat chocolate chips, milk and marshmallow creme just until melted; stir until smooth (mixture will be thick).
- With tongs, immediately dip marshmallows, one at a time, in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Quickly roll in pecans. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets (Reheat chocolate mixture if necessary for easier coating.)
- Refrigerate until firm. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Yield: 40 candies.

Tiger Woods shoots 62, takes lead at World Challenge
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup
Tiger Woods got after his own course record at Sherwood Country Club on Friday afternoon in the Northwestern Mutual Challenge and eventually tied it with a 10-under 62 to take the lead.
Woods didn't make a bogey all day and narrowly missed a birdie putt on No. 18 that would have set the new course record.
Here's a look at his scorecard which included a 31 on both sides:
Tiger surged to the top of a leaderboard loaded with big names (granted, there are only 18 golfers in the tournament and they're all big names). Here's a look (these were scores at the time Woods finished):
Tiger Woods: 11 under
Zach Johnson: 8 under
Matt Kuchar: 8 under
Graeme McDowell: 5 under
Bubba Watson: 4 under
Woods was absolutely locked in in every phase after an opening-round 71 that left him four back of Johnson.
This shot that led to birdie was pretty indicative of how his day went.
Woods was pleased but terse after his round. When asked which shots he was disappointed with he responded appropriately for a man who just dropped a 62 on the best golfers in the world.
"Not many."

Good for smaller dogs
posted 8 years ago
I think these are a good idea for small dogs. They help get them on the couch safely. They usually just jump down though.
Pros: helps them get onthe couch safely
Cons: sometimes they jump down anyway

Great Stairs
posted 7 years ago
These pet stairs have been a life saver for both of my dogs. We bought a new bed which is ridiculously high and the dogs were no longer able to jump up. I bought these stairs because they are not only functional but look beautiful in the room. The dogs love them and its good for them not to jump off the bed!
Pros: Gives small pets access to high furniture
Cons: Haven't found any yet

The product is okay
posted 6 years ago
Smokey (our dog) is very nervous when trying to use the steps...he acts like it is too steep and not tall enough to get to the top of our bed. He will not use it to get down, it is too far for him to to get to the top step. The steps are made well, just not big (tall) enough for us.
Pros: Sturdy
Cons: Seems too steep for my dog

Great for small or older animals
posted 8 years ago
These steps are great for smaller dogs that may not be able to jump onto your bed and it's great for older dogs that may have joint problems. It provides easy accessibility onto your bed or off your bed.
Pros: easy to get on to or off bed
Cons: expensive

"I have a huge critique of the current government there (in Cuba) because it's undemocratic," snapped de Bill de Blasio to a Cuban–American radio interviewer two weeks ago. "I also think it's well known that there's some good things that happened — for example, in health care."
Does it occur to people nowadays that Stalinist regimes might lie? For a guy who presumes to run New York Bill de Blasio sure seems bereft of one of natives' most celebrated attributes: their "street smarts."
Who told de Blasio that Castro's totalitarian fiefdom has good healthcare? Maybe he saw it on CNN?
Indeed a CNN "Special Report" on Cuba's healthcare gushed about the island nation's "impressive health statistics." The show featured clips from Michael Moore's Sicko as CNN's Morgan Neill, on location in a Potemkin Havana hospital, reported live. "Cuba's infant mortality rates are the lowest in the hemisphere," he recited from the regime-issued talking points, "in line with those of Canada! Cuba can boast about health care, a system that leads the way in Latin America."
Besides plugging Moore's Sicko, CNN's "Special Report" also featured "medical expert," Gail Reed, introduced on screen as "someone who's lived and worked in Cuba for decades." "They (the Cubans) concentrate on prevention," she explained to CNN viewers. "When I first came to Cuba in the '70s, I was very impressed with their efforts in building a new kind of society," Reed explained.
Most of Reed's companions of the time were also impressed. Bill Ayres' wife Bernadine Dohrn for instance. Gail Reed, you see, visited Cuba as a member of the Venceremos Brigades, the starry-eyed college kids who visited ostensibly to cut sugar cane and help "build Cuban Socialism," a volunteer Peace Corps of sorts. Or so we were led to believe. In fact the Venceremos Brigades was a joint-venture by Castro's KGB-mentored DGI (Directorio General de Intelligencia) and the U.S. terrorist group known as The Weathermen, that included future Obama "neighbors" Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dorn.
CNN could have fluffed-up Venceremos Brigadista Gail Reed's credentials by adding that from 1993 to 1997 she was a regular correspondent for Business Week magazine and from 1994 to 1996 she served as a Havana-based producer for NBC News, and today contributes to the Huffington Post. When Andrea Mitchell (NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent) interviewed Gail Reed in Havana on April 2012 for a MSNBC report, Mitchell introduced her as "international director of the nonprofit group Medical Education Cooperation."
Humberto Fontova holds an M.A. in Latin American Studies from Tulane University and is the author of four books including his latest, The Longest Romance; The Mainstream Media and Fidel Castro.

text: Savannah River Site workers are less likely to die from cancer than members of the general population, according to the early results of an ongoing study. But the researcher conducting the study cautioned SRS workers Tuesday that the study's results are very early and could change by its completion. "The results are really just preliminary," Daniel Wartenberg told SRS workers during a presentation broadcast live across the site. "They are early results. We would hope over the next few months to complete the study and give you the whole story."

There's nothing sweeter than the smug feeling that you're getting the better of the rat race. While your fellow commuters struggle in on the bus, you sail by on your bike or jog along overtaking them at every traffic jam on your way to work. But what if instead of doing your body a favour, you're really exposing it to dangerous air pollution?
If you've ever seen large-scale deforestation, especially of the rainforest, and seen it close up when it's just happened, you feel you're in the aftermath of an armoured battle. The scale of the destruction stuns you: cleared ground which seems to be everywhere smoking, burning tree stumps flickering like huge candles. It feels as if some giant beast has torn off a great lump of the landscape and savagely consumed it, leaving bits of it bleeding behind.

Diarrhea is a condition that's characterized by the appearance of
loose, watery stools or a frequent need to have a bowel movement. It usually lasts
a few days and often disappears without any treatment.
Diarrhea may be related to a viral or bacterial infection and is
sometimes the result of food poisoning. The condition commonly known as
traveler's diarrhea occurs when you've been exposed to bacteria or parasites
while on vacation to developing countries.
Chronic diarrhea refers to diarrhea that lasts for at least four
weeks and is usually the result of an intestinal disease or disorder.
Diarrhea may be caused by a variety of conditions or elements,
Chronic diarrhea may be a symptom of a more serious
condition such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD). Frequent and severe diarrhea could be a sign of intestinal disease or
functional bowel disorder.
There are many different symptoms of diarrhea that can occur in
any combination. The symptoms depend on the cause. You may experience:
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms.
A doctor will complete a physical examination and consider your
medical history when determining the cause of your diarrhea. They may also
request laboratory tests to examine urine and blood samples. Additional tests
your doctor may order to determine the cause of diarrhea and other related
conditions can include:
In cases of severe or chronic diarrhea, your doctor may order a
colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to determine if an underlying intestinal condition
is the cause.
Diarrhea can cause you to lose fluids quickly and put you at risk
for dehydration. If diarrhea is left untreated, it can be very serious. The symptoms
of dehydration include:
If you think your diarrhea is causing you to become
dehydrated, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Treatment for diarrhea usually requires replacing lost
fluids. This simply means you need to drink more water or electrolyte
replacement beverages such as sports drinks. In more serious cases, you may get
fluids through intravenous (IV) therapy. If a bacterial infection is causing
your diarrhea, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
Your doctor will decide your treatment based on:
Diarrhea is a serious condition in the very young. It can cause
severe dehydration in an infant in just one day.
Call your child's doctor or seek emergency care for the following
Although diarrhea can occur for various reasons, there are
actions that you can take to prevent it.
Avoid developing diarrhea from food poisoning by:
Traveler's diarrhea is also preventable. If you're planning a
long vacation to a developing country, consider doing the following:
If you have diarrhea that was caused by a viral or bacterial
infection, take these actions to prevent spreading the infection to others:

Summer Craft - Country Fabric Scraps Wreath
Projects like this one is a fun and great way to use up fabric scraps left over from other projects.
For this project you will need:
- styrofoam wreath- fabric cut into 2-3 inch squares- stylus or knitting needle (should not be sharp to prevent damaging the fabric)- matching ribbon
1. Cut out a stack of fabric squares and proceed by taking the first piece and placing it over the wreath. Use the stylus, flat screwdriver or knitting needle and insert it in the center of the fabric and poke the fabric into the wreath. The styrofoam will normally hold the fabric without glue.
2. Continue adding new scrap pieces close to the previously added piece and continue in the same manner as step one until the entire front, inside and outside of the wreath is full. If you missed a section, you can always add more scraps afterwards.3. Create a bow using the ribbon and adhere to the wreath.
This project is completed and ready to adorn your room within an hour.

Video: Obama now a big NASCAR fan or something
posted at 7:49 pm on August 20, 2009 by Allahpundit
Not quite comedy gold but maybe comedy bronze, as The One delivers a master class on how to B.S. your way through a subject you know and/or care little about. How he managed to keep a straight face talking up the joys of guys driving around in a circle, I'll never know; I guess a good briefing book and 18 months spent pandering on the trail to whatever local cultural idiosyncrasy you encounter breeds a certain facility with this sort of thing. He earned his presidential salary today, my friends. The hard way.

"Families in rural areas are often forced to choose between a few powerful insurance companies. The result is that rural Americans are more likely to be uninsured, have higher out-of-pocket costs, and pay more for their insurance premiums than the rest of the country… By holding insurers accountable, the law frees families in rural communities from the worst abuses of the insurance industry and helps keep premiums down … Yet some in Congress say they want to repeal the law. We can't afford to let that happen."
One study showing robust rates of surgical services for rural Americans should not be taken at face value. Healthcare services for this group are sorely lacking, but provisions within the ACA are in place to begin boosting both the amount and quality of healthcare. Repeal of the law would be a significant blow to this group.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Best Class Act in Local Sports (2008)
Suns point guard Steve Nash
What can we say about Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash, except that he's like a really fine wine: aged to perfection. Last year, it looked as if he'd slowed down a little, but that was because his dunderheaded former coach played him as if he were a 24-year-old. That's just not any way to treat a fine Cabernet. He needed to start the game, naturally, but be given more than just a few minutes at the end of the first and third quarters and the beginning of the second and fourth. Jeez, the geezer (for an NBA point guard) averaged 36.6 minutes a game. Only the much younger Amaré Stoudemire and the tough-as-nails Raja Bell averaged more.
But would Little Stevie complain about now-departed coach Mike D'Antoni's riding him like a favorite whore? No way! You never heard the cool-as-the-other-side-of-the-pillow Canadian whimper a note. Even when his ailing back was obviously killing him. Hey, we're not saying Nash isn't in great shape — for a player who will be 35 next season. Running 20 miles a game in the NBA is hard work for anybody. But no matter how hard he worked during a game, no matter how disappointed he was after a loss, Nash always stopped to talk with the media, sign a kid's program, or pose for pictures for his favorite charities.
Indeed, Nash gives himself extensively to good causes. The Steve Nash Foundation offers grants to programs helping poor, neglected, ill, or abused children. He is the sponsor of the Steve Nash Youth Basketball League in British Columbia, is involved with GuluWalk, which helps children in war-torn Uganda. And, with Houston Rockets center Yao Ming, was among NBA players who played a game in China against the country's national team that raised millions of dollars for Chinese children. Heck, he even financed a new pediatric oncology ward at a hospital in Paraguay, his wife's home country. Like we say, the man's a class act.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
DALLAS - The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Valero Refining Co., in Corpus Christi, Texas with nine alleged safety violations and proposed penalties totaling $138,000.
Valero Refining operates a mid-sized refinery that specializes in sour crude feedstock and employs about 490 workers in Corpus Christi and 2,800 employees nationwide. The company headquarters is in San Antonio, Texas.
The alleged safety violations were discovered during an OSHA inspection that began Nov. 29, 2000 when two contract employees with Berry Contracting, Co. in Corpus Christi, doing business as Bay Ltd., had been exposed to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). One of the employees died a few days after the exposure. The company was cited for one willful, seven serious and one repeat violations. (Berry Contracting was cited with six alleged safety violations and proposed penalties totaling $94,500.)
The one willful violation was for failing to provide adequate personal detection/monitoring equipment for employees working with a possible H2S exposure. H2S paralyzes a person's ability to breath and depending on the amount of exposure, a person can be instantly asphyxiated. A willful violation is defined as one that is committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations.
The seven serious violations include lack of fall protection, defective process hazard analyses and deficiencies in the lockout/tagout program. Lockout/tagout refers to labeling and shutting down an energy source in an appropriate manner. A serious violation is defined as one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result and the employer knew or should have known of the hazard.
The one repeat violations was for exceeding peak concentrations and not providing respiratory protection for H2S exposures.

RIO DE JANERIO Brazil's government says the country is the right choice to host the 2014 World Cup, a day after FIFA President Sepp Blatter's questioned awarding the event because of the recent social protests.
More than one million people took to the streets in protests during last month's Confederations Cup — the warm-up for the World Cup. People were angry about Brazil's poor public services, contrasted with almost $14 billion spent on the World Cup.
In a statement sent Thursday to The Associated Press, the sports ministry said "the success of the Confederations Cup" showed Brazil was the correct choice.
The statement also called Brazil "a democratic country" in which citizens have a right to freedom of expression.

"I think it shows how physicians really live and breath what they're taught and their oaths they take," said Musto. "I think it takes a lot of dedication, it shows they really love what thy do and it really is a testament to the physicians we have at Community Care."
Ashley Hart has been in the medical field for nearly two years and this was her first medical trip to Haiti. She previously went on two other mission trips with her husband to Tijuana, Mexico, before entering her profession.
"It was definitely eye-opening," she said. "When we got there it looked like the earthquake had happened within the lastfew weeks."
She said the group saw about 300 patients a day during the week and she treated a range of medical problem including infections, asthma, uncontrolled high blood pressure, muscular pain and the group even gave out eye glasses.
"The patients that we saw, there was nowhere for them to go to get the health care they needed," she said. "The hospitals were mainly reserved for surgeries for people who were really bad."
Ashley and Andrew Hart both said a 4-year-old boy they helped with club feet, which is a deformity of the feet where they are pointing inwards and down, was the most memorable experience from the trip.
The boy had casts on both legs that were put on four months ago, and they needed to be removed. The group made shoes to protect his feet from infection and helped his mother get set up with Doctors Without Borders, so he could get the needed surgery.
Andrew Hart fondly remembered searching for crutches small enough to fit the boy, but even the smallest crutches that were available didn't work. He ended up sawing down a pair of the smallest crutches and prepared them to be useable after the adjustment.

OK Legislators, Regulators Seek Study before Tackling SBC Deregulation
Francis-Smith, Janice, THE JOURNAL RECORD
One way or another, the issue of deregulating SBC Communications in Oklahoma will be addressed during the next legislative session. Both legislators and regulators hope to be able to consider a study of the state's telecommunications market before making a decision.
State Rep. David Braddock, D-Altus, sponsored a Senate bill authored by Sen. Jay Paul Gumm, D-Durant, during the last legislative session that would have removed SBC's ability to set prices for its services from the state Corporation Commission's oversight. After a contentious battle in the Legislature, the bill was shelved near the end of the session to allow a task force to study how the legislation would affect the telecommunications market in Oklahoma. But in October, the task force recommended that the commission conduct a study of competitive issues in the telecommunications market and report their findings to the task force. Last week, the director of the public utility division of the commission formally requested such a study.
Braddock anticipates a similar piece of legislation will again be introduced during the upcoming session.
Commissioner Jeff Cloud, who also served on the task force, said he has not yet seen a schedule for how soon the study can be conducted, but was hopeful that the commission would have some answers for the Legislature on the matter before the end of the session.
I was under the impression that we're under the direction of having that back to them this next legislative year, said Cloud. No, that's not too much time. But I'm assured by experts here at the commission that it can get done before the Legislature adjourns next spring.
Braddock said it is possible legislators would move ahead with the legislation even before the commission is able to complete their study.
We're going to look real hard at the possibility of going ahead and doing that, said Braddock. The Corporation Commission has been talking about that, but I don't know where all that is going-And of course, heck, if they go ahead and strip away the regulations here pretty soon, that will make any need for a bill moot at that point, but we'll see. One never knows where the Corporation Commission is going to go. We'll just have to wait and see.
The commission is currently involved in the discussion on two fronts. In addition to the study requested by the Task Force on Deregulation of the Oklahoma Telecommunications Service Provider Industry, the commission is also considering some proposed rule changes that would also serve to remove more of SBC's operations from the commission's oversight. …

Arab baths in Ronda
Calle Molino de Alarcón, s/n.
29400 Ronda, Malaga (Andalusia)
Tel.:+34 656950937
These ancient Arab baths are a hidden treasure, exceptionally preserved throughout the centuries, in a corner of the legendary town of Ronda.
Situated in the poor area in Ronda during the times of Al-Andalus, currently the San Miguel neighbourhood, the baths are supplied by water coming from the adjoining Las Culebras stream, by means of a sophisticated water system using a traditional Moorish waterwheel. It still has the three typical areas of this type of complex: cold, warm and hot rooms. The central room is the largest, with horseshoe arches on brick and stone, supporting the barrel-vaulted ceilings leading to star-shaped skylights covered with glass. It also has the old boiler room which was used to heat the water up, which was turned into a tannery to treat leather after the Christian conquest of the city.

Most Phyllodes tumors are benign, but 10 percent are malignant (cancerous). Cancerous Phyllodes tumors are an unusual presentation of breast cancer. These tumors are a form of sarcoma because they grow in the connective tissue of the breast, not in the ducts. This cancer is so rare that a confirmation by a second pathologist is required.
What are the symptoms of Phyllodes tumors?
These tumors will usually present as a smooth lump felt beneath the skin. The breast may become red or warm to the touch. These tumors can grow very fast, so it is important to have them evaluated as soon as possible. Symptoms can also mimic those of other types of breast cancer.

Somali central bank governor denies U.N. charges over funds
NAIROBI (Reuters) – The governor of the Central Bank of Somalia denied on Tuesday allegations in a U.N. report linking him to irregularities regarding millions of dollars withdrawn from the bank, saying the charges were malicious and baseless.
Somalia, under a Western-backed government that took office last year, is trying to rebuild after 20 years of war in which the nation was carved up into fiefdoms by warlords and then ruled by Islamist militants. Its public institutions remain feeble.
IMF help puts Somalia on road to debt relief -c.bank governor
NAIROBI, June 24 (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund
will offer Somalia technical support and advice, a first step in
efforts to secure debt relief for the country emerging from two
decades of civil conflict, the central bank governor said on
The IMF officially recognised the Somali government in
April, ending a 22-year hiatus during which the African nation
was mired in grinding poverty, militancy and maritime piracy,
without a functioning central government.
Warburg Pincus to back new African oil and gas explorer
NAIROBI, June 17 (Reuters) – Private equity company Warburg
Pincus is leading an investment of up to $600 million in
Delonex Energy, a newly formed oil and gas exploration and
production company planning to tap into the central and east
African hydrocarbon boom.
The region has become hot property for energy investors
after gas discoveries in Mozambique and Tanzania, and other
hydrocarbon finds in Uganda and Kenya. However, progress towards
production, notably in Uganda, has taken years.
Central bank chief turns recovery skills on Somalia
NAIROBI, May 17 (Reuters) – When Washington D.C. was in
financial crisis in the 1990s, Somali-born Abdusalam Omer joined
a team that turned its "junk" bonds into investment grade paper.
Now, as governor of the Central Bank of Somalia, he wants to
transform a "failed" state.
There is no escaping the scale of his new assignment. His
office in Mogadishu is surrounded by the bombed out shells of
former banks, symbols of Somalia's shattered economy and its
broken financial system after two decades of conflict.
Somali banker sees hope in business order after chaos
NAIROBI, May 8 (Reuters) – Somalia's government must lure
more investors to drive the private economy because business
owners have an interest in cementing fragile security gains, the
chief executive of Somalia's biggest financial firm said.
Abdirashid Duale's company, Dahabshiil – which with a
handful of others has survived the anarchy of the past two
decades – exemplifies a strong entrepreneurial spirit, he says.
Kenyan leader, charged by ICC, invited to Somalia meeting in London
NAIROBI (Reuters) – Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court, is expected to visit London at Britain's invitation next week for a conference on Somalia.
It will be his first trip to a Western capital since his election in March. Britain and other countries said before his victory that, if he won, they would only have "essential contacts" with him because of the court case.
Somali minister looks to turn global goodwill to hard cash
NAIROBI, April 15 (Reuters) – Somalia's finance minister has
his eye on conferences in Washington, London and beyond in the
next six months to shore up international support for a slow
recovery whose fragility was exposed by this weekend's suicide
bombings in Mogadishu.
Mohamud Hassan Suleiman can count on a wave of goodwill on
his travels but needs more than diplomatic backing to steady a
nation emerging from two decades of war and anarchy with debts
of $2.2 billion and state revenues of just $84 million a year.
Tackling Somali piracy needs new onshore focus – World Bank
MOGADISHU, April 11 (Reuters) – Ending Somali piracy
requires a shift from reliance on security at sea to targeting
those on land who enable the lucrative business to thrive,
according to the World Bank.
Although the number of attacks has markedly fallen since
2011 thanks to tougher security aboard ships and increased
Western naval patrols, piracy emanating from the lawless Horn of
Africa nation may still cost the world economy about $18 billion
a year, the bank said in a report released on Thursday.
Kenya swears in president, West faces balancing act
NAIROBI (Reuters) – Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta took his oath of office on Tuesday, presenting Western states with a challenge of how to deal with a leader indicted by the International Criminal Court.
After a calm election that followed a bloodbath five years ago, many Kenyans hope Kenyatta will deliver on his promise to be a president for all and not just work for his own ethnic group, a practice they have come to expect from politicians.
Kenya to swear in president facing trial in The Hague
NAIROBI (Reuters) – Kenyans packed a stadium to witness the swearing in of Uhuru Kenyatta as president on Tuesday after a peaceful election that has left Western nations with the challenge of how to deal with a leader indicted by the International Criminal Court.
Many Kenyans hope the son of the nation's independence hero will live up to his pledge to be a leader for all and not just work for people from his own ethnic group, a practice they have come to expect from their politicians.

LONDON - A ski center in the Scottish Highlands was forced to close Friday because of too much snow during Britain's coldest winter in 30 years.
The CairnGorm Mountain ski center had to bring in diggers to clear the deep drifts that had built up on the slopes and approach road during two days of blizzards.
Scotland, which does not always have the most reliable snowfall for its winter sports, has been one of the worst hit areas of Britain during a freezing few weeks.

In this hands-on activity, students construct a simple switch and determine what objects and what types of materials can be used to close a switch in a circuit and light a light bulb.
Engineering Connection
Educational Standards
Each TeachEngineering lesson or activity is correlated to one or more K-12 science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) educational standards.
All 100,000+ K-12 STEM standards covered in TeachEngineering are collected, maintained and packaged by the Achievement Standard Network (ASN), a project of JES & Co. (www.jesandco.org).
In the ASN, standards are hierarchically structured: first by source; e.g., by state; within source by type; e.g., science or mathematics; within type by subtype, then by grade, etc.
Click on the standard groupings to explore this hierarchy as it applies to this document.
- Colorado: Math
- Appropriate measurement tools, units, and systems are used to measure different attributes of objects and time. (Grade 4) [2010] ...show
- Colorado: Science
- International Technology and Engineering Educators Association: Technology
- Next Generation Science Standards: Science
Learning Objectives
- Explain the function of a switch in an electrical circuit.
- Understand that an object's material properties determine whether it will make a good switch.
- Explain why engineers must have a fundamental understanding of electrical circuits and the function of insulators and conductors.
Materials List
- Switcheroo Worksheet, one per student
- 1 D-cell battery
- 1 large rubber band
- 1 #40 miniature bulb, such as a flashlight bulb (available at electronics surplus stores, such as RadioShack; see https://www.radioshack.com/products/radioshack-28v-40ma-incandescent-flashlight-bulb-2-pack?variant=5717334149)
- 1 miniature light bulb holder
- 2 small nails (or metal thumbtacks, but not push pins)
- a small piece of wood (or a small piece of thick cardboard)
- 2 ft (30.5 cm) insulated wire (gauge AWG 22, available at hardware stores), cut into three pieces of equal length (8 in)
- an assortment of conducting/insulating objects: paper clips, aluminum foil, nails, coins, various gauges of insulated wire, keys, rubber bands, erasers, plastic rulers, cloth, pipe cleaners, etc.
- wire strippers or sandpaper (to remove insulation at wire ends)
- masking tape
- hammer
Background — Switches
Background — Dimmers and Multi-Position Switches
Before the Activity
- Assemble an assortment of materials for the students to use in making switches. Include materials that will not work as switches (insulators), too.
With the Students
- Hand out a Switcheroo Worksheet to each student. Have the students look at and list all the objects available to make switches. Next to each object listed write "yes" if you think it will make a good switch and "no" if you think it will not.
- Working in teams and using wire strippers or sand paper, have students remove 1/2 in (1.3 cm) of the insulation from the ends of three pieces of wire to ensure a good connection.
- Use one piece of wire to connect the positive terminal of the D-cell battery to one of the terminals on the light bulb holder. Use rubber bands and masking tape to attach the wire to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Use a second piece of wire to connect the negative terminal of the D-cell battery to a small nail (or thumbtack). Use rubber bands and masking tape to attach the wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
- Tightly wrap one of the bare ends of the third piece of wire around a small nail (or thumbtack). Connect the other end of this wire to the opposite, unused light bulb terminal.
- To complete the setup, hammer the nails (or tacks) into the wood (or cardboard) so they are 1–2 cm apart (see Figure 3).
- Have students choose two to three objects with which to construct their team's switches.
- To create and test a switch, lay a test object across the two nails (or thumbtacks) to complete (close) the circuit (see Figure 4). If the light bulb lights up, the circuit is closed, current flows and the object works as a switch (conductor). If the bulb does not light up, the object does not make a good switch.
- After a team has tested and found a switch that they believe is reliable, have them demonstrate its operation. To be a good switch, it should be able to open and close the circuit three times in a row.
- Have students complete the Switcheroo Worksheet.
Safety Issues
- Advise students to be careful when handling the sharp nails (or thumbtacks).
- Warn students to be cautious when hammering nails into blocks of wood.
Troubleshooting Tips
Pre-Activity Assessment
Activity Embedded Assessment
Post-Activity Assessment
- What properties are required in a good switch? (Possible answers: The ability to complete the circuit so the current can flow to light the bulb, a conductor, a metal.)
- How might an engineer determine if a material would make a good switch? (Answer: An engineer would test a material to determine whether it was a conductor. Conductors make good switches.)
- How might an engineer determine if a material would make a safe housing for a switch? (Answer: An engineer would find, test and/or develop materials that would keep the current in the switch from leaking from the circuit and/or harming a person using it. An insulator would make a good switch housing.)
