In today's class, we continued our discussion on anatomy and physiology, including talking about epithelium and the different kinds there are. We went over each different type, including pseudostratified columnar, squamous, and cuboidal, where they are located and what function they serve in the body.
Decolonization is the undoing of colonialism, giving native peoples their independence and rights to form their own governments. Post WWII Africa created ideal conditions for widespread decolonization for three main reasons. First European nations had to keep their financial resources for rebuilding, not colonial maintenance. Second, the Atlantic Charter gave hope to independence movements. Lastly, European nations had a hard time explaining fighting WWII in the name of liberty, while still oppressing people in their colonies. Many African nations were decolonized largely from 1945-1975. In the year 1960, major events led to the emergence of 17 independent African nations and became known as the Year of Africa. Pan-Africanism is the belief that Africa and all people of African descent should be united and their heritage celebrated. Nelson Mandela was an anti-apartheid revolutionary who was imprisoned for 27 years for his beliefs. He was the first democratically elected black president in South Africa, serving from 1994-1999.
9-6 The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant – We learned that the quadratic formula can be used to solve every quadratic equation and is particularly useful for those that cannot be easily factored. Then we learned to use the discriminant to determine the number and type of solutions to a quadratic equation.
In today's class, we continued our discussion on anatomy and physiology, including talking about the four basic tissues, which include epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous tissue. We talked about what makes up each kind of tissue, what its purpose is, and where it can be found in the body.
We reviewed common financial reports that are included in a Business plan. Cameron worked with Canva to create a visually-stimulating cover sheet for the financial section.
