This Processed-Based Assessment Module focuses on assessing student learning in the context of coconut sugar production, utilizing the processed-based assessment approach. This module provides educators with an assessment tool that aligns with the principles of processed-based assessment. By utilizing this module, educators can effectively evaluate student performance, promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and facilitate a deeper understanding of the coconut sugar production process.

Process-oriented based authentic assessment centers on evaluating a student's learning by focusing on the process they go through to complete a task or solve a problem. It emphasizes the student's thinking, problem-solving skills, and decision-making abilities rather than just the end product. This approach encourages students to actively engage in activities that mirror real-world scenarios and requires them to demonstrate their understanding and application of knowledge in authentic contexts. The assessment is typically based on observations, reflections, and evidence of the student's thinking and learning process. PROCESS-ORIENTED_BASED_AUTHENTIC_ASSESSMENT.docx

This lesson introduces students to the parts of fish (both internal and external), covers adaptations of fish, and assesses student's understanding of the parts of fish.

La rápida expansión de la frontera agrícola como consecuencia desmesurada de la deforestación y cambios antropogénicos a nivel mundial, es un tema de preocupación por la comunidad científica internacional. Además, frente a una lucha contra el cambio climático por efecto de la ganadería, una de las principales estrategias para la mitigación de gases de efecto invernadero, lo constituyen alternativas sostenibles si uso de productos con alta huella de carbono, revalorizando, además, los recursos locales. En el caso de la zona norte de Ecuador, a pesar de los limitados atributos respecto a gradiente de fertilidad de los suelos, la cría de ganado ya sea de leche y/o doble propósito representa uno de los eslabones más fuertes dentro de la economía de las familias. Por lo tanto, es menester investigar alternativas de producción que nos permitan conservar los recursos naturales dada la fragilidad de estos ecosistemas megadiversos. Mediante este libro se plasma que el uso de sistemas ganaderos convencionales, degradan los recursos naturales con mermas significativas de la productividad, así como bajo réditos económicos. En consecuencia, la implementación de sistemas silvopastoriles como alternativa tecnológica de fácil instalación, es sin duda el camino para alcanzar sistemas ganaderos más eficientes, amigables con el medio ambiente, diversificando además los ingresos económicos de la población.

This dissection laboratory content and activity will familiarize students with the major internal and external anatomical features and structures of the perch fish and with the functions of each part and system.  

Short Description:
This book is predominantly about climate, and the macro influences of climate and climate change on design. As we get through the topics of climate analogues and climate change forecasting, we will end up moving down this list to see the climate’s influence on specific design choices. Data dashboard
