What is the subject matter in the curriculum?
A course's curriculum includes the reading assignments, the homework, the in- class activities, the exams, and anything else that engages the student in inquiry, critically th…inking, and acquisition of new knowledge and/or skills. Hopefully the student will transfer some of the information, skills, and concepts acquired in the course to their long term memory. The subject matter of the course is simply the information that the student will be exposed to during the class. For example, if you enroll in a dog training course the subject matter probably includes canine behavior and successful techniques to use in training your dog. The curriculum would include perhaps a short history on dog training, the pros and cons of different training methods, and the techniques the course's instructor wants the students and their dogs to learn. If what I wrote is to boring to get through for some readers, I will simplify the difference by analogizing the two with a football analogy. Football Analogy-SUBJECT MATTER-The 60 minutes of football played. CURRICULUM-The plays, penalties, rules, and positions. I hope this explanation helps! (MORE)

Art Subjects in the Home
When you're looking for art subject matter, there's plenty to be found in the rooms of your home. You can style a painting as a landscape, a still life, or a portrait. Alterna…tively, you can use elements of all three and make an art invention of your own. You should consider the different rooms in your home, and the particular environment and the activities there may inspire you. Following are some ideas that come from common rooms in the house.The kitchen is the place to make food, but it is also a room that demands thinking and innovation. The cook cannot keep making the same dishes over and over. He or she must find new recipes, new ingredients, and new processes. You can use the kitchen and its demand for new ideas as art subject matter. While many artists have depicted foods from a kitchen, rarely do artists draw or paint the cook in the process of imagining or making a new dish.The dining room is sometimes a subject for painters, but not often and not famously. However, it is a room full of people, memories, good times, and scenes of arguments. You could paint the room, its furniture, and the food on the table, or you could be inventive and imagine the people around the table. Take a look at Van Gogh's potato eater people for inspiration. He zoomed in on the poor people around the table and captured their plight.The living room is the site where most people relax. However, in upscale homes, the living room is sometimes just a showplace for visitors, and the family relaxes in the den. Your subject matter could include the furniture, the people lounging, and the relaxed or unrelaxed forms their bodies take as an indication of their attitudes. The objects in the living room often say a lot about the individuals. Modern people have cell phones, tablets, and computers so your painting should say something about what those objects mean to the people in the living room.The bathroom is a private place, full of solitary rituals. In this space, people invent themselves. They groom themselves and put on a face for the world. This process is a good subject for paintings about the masks that people wear. Sometimes, however, grooming is about making people feel better. See if you can depict the process of a person feeling better in a painting.The nursery is about new beginnings. A new life lives there and will make a life of its own, independent of anyone's judgment. Your painting could be about this growing life that is in the process of changing or maturing. Then there's the tension between the child and the parent. The parent loves the child, but the child needs to explore and experiment. Your painting could be about the two opposing forces, the exploring child and the overprotective parent or the neglectful parent.The home is a fertile area for art subject matter because people live there and interact with each other. People love one another, get mad at each other, hurt each other, and leave each other. This tension between people is something you can feel in the rooms of a home. People are also always innovating, which you can also capture in artwork. They dream up new food in the kitchen and reinvent themselves every day in the bathroom. Use the rooms of the house, the people, the activities, and the props for inspiration.Capturing people, their emotions, and the setting is important artistically and requires some skill. It is a worthy pursuit, as viewers are driven by emotions and relationships. To start, use one or two people, zoom in on faces, and use a simple color palette. (MORE)
In Behavior
5 Tips to Help Adults Deal with Students' Inappropriate Behavior
While it can be frustrating to deal with inappropriate behavior, there are ways to navigate the problem. For widespread issues such as bullying, it is useful to gather the stu…dents together for a school-wide assembly to convey the school's message. If you are dealing with special education students, there are also ways to teach the students right from wrong. A reward system is a useful way to show all students what is acceptable and what is not. In or out of school, children are less likely to stray from their tasks when they follow a routine. Following a certain routine will help to cut back on the amount of free, unstructured time. During free time, it is more likely that students will act out and exhibit other types of inappropriate behaviors. If the children do have some free time, be sure to smoothly transition them back into the flow of the routine. A sudden transition back into routine can throw some students off, resulting in bad behavior. A positive, encouraging learning environment can be just what some students need. One way to create a positive environment is to maintain a space where both students and the teacher share and exchange ideas. This way, everyone will feel as though they are participating and being heard. This will also teach the students to respect one another's ideas and opinions, even if they do not agree. In this setting, disagreements should be dealt with in a positive and respectful manner. This is an especially useful tip when dealing with students who require special education. Students who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are prone to meltdowns and may act out toward fellow students or teachers. The first step an adult should take in this situation is to figure out what triggered the outbreak and how to deal with such behavior. A universal support system can help to teach students throughout the school what constitutes appropriate behavior. Ways to pass the information on to students include holding school-wide assemblies, posting three to five rules in visible places, and recognizing proper behavior. One of the most useful and direct ways to encourage and enforce positive behavior is to make an example of a student who is well behaved. Whether it's holding the door for fellow students, lending classmates supplies, or sticking up for someone who is being made fun of, there are many ways in which students can show that they are doing the right thing. In these instances, the fellow students will have a clear example of how to act both in and out of school. You can also have a poorly behaved student sit next to one who acts appropriately and reward the well-behaved student on a routine basis. This setup may show the misbehaving student how to keep focused on the task at hand and possibly how to correct his or her poor behavior. Bullying is a prominent issue in schools around the nation. While it is a widespread issue, it is also one that can be controlled by vigilant adults and students. When bullying is not present, a calmer and more constructive environment, such as a classroom, can be an optimal location to teach students about the potential damage caused by bullying. From physical actions, such as pushing and shoving, to verbal bullying, including cursing and degrading another individual, all aspects should be covered. One project to relay this message involves passing around cutouts of each student, complete with the students' names. As the cutout goes around the room every person should tear it a bit, and at the end of the activity students should patch together the pieces of paper as a way of making amends. There are many different types of inappropriate behaviors that are exhibited by people of all ages. Whether it's name-calling, pushing and shoving, or otherwise just being rude, it is important to let students know that this type of behavior is not acceptable. For some special education students, such as those with autism, a useful way to control the problem is to encourage and reward positive behavior. You may need to pair a misbehaving student with one who is behaving well to help teach right from wrong. A classroom that is unusually chatty or disruptive may need some reminding from the teacher. If this sounds like your classroom, try enforcing "my time" and "your time." Let the students know that "my time" is for the teacher, and, if the class behaves, "your time" will include five minutes to talk at the end of the class. (MORE)

What Is Organic Matter?
If you are a gardener or a yard enthusiast, keeping your lawn looking great is probably at the top of your to do list. Enriching your soil by adding organic matter is a great …and low-cost way to enhance the beauty and health of your yard. Organic matter is a blanket term for an all-natural soil additive that has benefits for yard health. Composted manure is often used to fertilize soil and make it more habitable for plant life, though the smell is often unpleasant. Compost is also used as organic matter. Even dead and decaying plants have yard-enhancing properties. Dirt isn't just dirt; it has a whole micro-ecosystem of its own. Adding organic matter to the pre-existing soil helps increase good micro-organisms flourish. With more natural and protective micro-organisms exist in the soil, your plants look better and grow more quickly. Beneficial organisms also work to decrease the unhealthy parasites and maladies that can destroy your flora.Some local community gardens have compost available for purchase. Other home improvement stores have manure or plant debris for sale. If you are in a rural location and lack access to a major gardening center, you can make your own compost fairly easily. If you are unsure what type of organic matter to add to your garden, consult a gardener or landscaper. The amount and type of organic matter to add to your soil has to do with your location and the size of your garden. If you live in a rural area with lots of healthy plant life around you, only a small amount of organic matter is needed to make your yard even nicer. If you live in a city where there is a wealth of pollution and other soil irritants, adding more organic matter is beneficial. The amount of rainfall and weather patterns are also factors to be considered. Ask your friends who use organic matter in their gardens for tricks and tips.Keeping your garden healthy requires more than just the occasional watering. Add organic matter to keep your plants healthy and thriving year round. If you have any questions, ask for a professional opinion from a gardening specialist.Simple household items such as used coffee grounds, tea leaves or crushed egg shells make great organic additions to your garden soil.

The Subject of Chemistry: Definition, History, Key Concepts, and Sub-Disciplines
The huge field of science is made up of many different specialized subjects that indicate a particular area of scientific inquiry, such as physics, biology, and geology. Chemi…stry is one such subject within the academic study of science. It is believed to be one of the oldest forms of scientific inquiry and has since branched out into further subsections within professional science.Chemistry refers to a specific field within physical science; that is, the study of matter, its composition and behavior. Because of this, it shares many characteristics with another branch of physical science, physics. However, the main difference between physics and chemistry is that chemistry is primarily concerned with the terrestrial transformation of matter and the way that atomic particles work, while physics applies theories often drawn from these basics of chemistry.Chemistry has a long history, going back at least 4,000 years to the time of the ancient Egyptians. The word itself is derived from the word "alchemy," which involved aspects of chemistry with other fields such as astrology, mysticism, and medicine. The concept of chemistry evolved between the 18th and 20th centuries, eventually emerging into its modern definition as the study of substances.The subject of chemistry rests upon certain fundamental concepts. One of the most crucial concepts in chemistry is the atom, which is believed to be a basic building block of all matter. Many atoms of the same type form an element, which is another key concept in chemistry. When two or more different elements combine together in a chemical reaction, they form a chemical substance known as a compound.The subject of chemistry not only identifies the substances involved in chemical reactions, but also explores the properties of these substances. For example, substances can be identified as acids or bases according to the pH value ascribed to it. Chemists are also interested in the way that different atoms stick together in molecules, which is known as the study of chemical bonding. These are just two of the many chemical properties observed and studied by chemists.The field of chemistry is so large that it is often divided into sub-disciplines in the academic world. Some of these are specialized inquiries into a particular section of chemistry, such as organic chemistry and nuclear chemistry. Other sub-disciplines involve interdisciplinary connections with other branches of science, such as biochemistry and neurochemistry.The subject of chemistry is an important field of scientific inquiry. It is often regarded as an important bridge subject within academic science, since the basic laws of chemistry help to connect otherwise disparate branches of science, such as biology, geology, and physics. At the same time, the subject is so internally diverse that there are many sub-disciplines within the study of chemistry. Indeed, many of the scientific advances of the modern era are fundamentally dependent upon the understanding and application of chemical laws.The word "chemistry" is believed to have been derived from the word "alchemy," which is itself drawn from the Arabic word "al-kimia." The exact meaning of the original Arabic word, however, is highly contested. Some say that it was born out of the Greek word for Egypt, where alchemy was first practiced. Others say that the Arabic word is a corruption of the Greek word that means, "cast together." (MORE)

Start at the Beginning: What is a Subject?
The English language can get pretty confusing, especially if the basics are not mastered before attempting to learn intermediate and advanced grammar and formatting. Learning …the basics is important. Without fully understanding the role of the subject in arguably all sentences, an individual's written language capabilities would be considered sub par at best. To keep that from happening, here is a basic rundown of the sentence subject.The subject of a sentence is in short the focus of that sentence. It is the person, place, thing, idea of doing something, or being something; the latter including things done to the person, place, thing or idea. More often than not, the subject comes before the verb when making a statement, but the subject can be at the beginning or end of a sentence. Examples of this are in sentences such as "You said you believed him." or "Yes, according to her." in which "him" and "her" are the subjects.A subject can be more than one word, though the interpretation on how depends on the type of subject. In simple subjects, multiple word cases are usually due to proper nouns like John Smith. Incomplete or complex subjects, in which all words referring to whom or what the simple subject is are included, the outcome usually ends up being more than one word.Imperative sentences are those which make a demand or command another person, place, object, or idea.Many English speakers are confused by the fact that many imperative sentences don't have subjects. Commands like "Run away." or "Just study for now." have no subject in them, but at the same time they do. Imperative sentences are understood to have an invisible "You" at the beginning of sentences with no subject. This is because imperative sentences are perceived as a command being directed at a person, place, thing, or idea already.One word sentences are sometimes thought of the same way as imperative sentences, while some linguists argue that an exception can be made for them to be considered sentences even without a subject.There are others still who think one word sentences should be considered improper no matter what.Basically, the question is up in the air. Unless specifically told not to use one word sentences, it is up to the discretion of the writer.Subjects are the driving force behind any verb phrase or prepositional phrase. They represent the person, place, thing or idea the sentence is pertaining to. There are some cases where the subject may appear to be missing or non-existent, but that is because it is implied automatically. Simple subjects and complete subjects both serve the same function, but it's better to use the former when asked what the subject of a sentence is in a question or in conversation.Subjects do not always have to be nouns.
