Voyage on the Mayflower
The Mayflower has a famous place in American history as a symbol of early European colonization of the future United States.[6](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mayflower).

Portugal and Spain founded Navigation Schools. These schools produced expertly trained mathematical and

What is an Isotope?

1. An Isotope is a form of element with same atomic number: each of two or more forms of a chemical element with the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element share the same number of protons.  The number of protons  uniquely defines the element.
2. The nuclei of most atoms contain neutrons as well as protons. (An exception is the common form of hydrogen, whose nucleus consists of a lone proton). Every chemical element has more than one isotope. For any element, one of the isotopes is more abundant in

   nature than any of the others, although often multiple isotopes of a single element are mixed (http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/isotope).

What Children Do!®: How Astronomy Has Contributed to Technology!

What is Astronomy?

Astronomy is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth (such as cosmic background radiation). It is concerned with the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy).

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Prehistoric cultures left behind astronomical artifacts such as the Egyptian monuments, Nubian monuments and Stonehenge, and early civilizations such as the Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Iranians and Maya performed methodical observations of the night sky. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, the making of calendars, and astrology, but professional astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy).

John O’ Sullivan on What Children Do!®

According to Astronomy Magazine Vol. 40 no. 5 May 2012 issue, Astronomy has done many things for Technology, including:

1. Developed wireless internet. John O’ Sullivan developed this signal for evaporating black holes. This signal is now used as the wireless internet system.
2. GPS (Global Positioning System) comes from 24 of the 30 satellites being used for the general public.
3. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which is scheduled to launch 2018 is also used for optical mapping in technology.
4. The study of the Sun’s Chemical composition is used for cancer treatment, X-ray and gold nanoparticle.

What Children Do!®: Shapes in the Clouds & Trees “Imagination”

What Children Do!®–

Shapes in the clouds on What Children Do!®

Children see shapes in and objects in the:

• Clouds & Trees
• Rocks & Mountians
• Dirt & Flowers
• Bushes & Plants

Imagination is “This”:

• I am able to visualize.
• I am able to for images and ideas.
• I am creative.
• I am resourceful.

Imagination is “That”!

Shapes in the rocks on What Children Do!®

Imagination or creativity is a part of the mind, where ideas, thoughts, and images (pictures) are formed. Imagination also helps to think of ways of dealing with difficulties or problems. Like having an “eye” in your mind, “the mind’s eye”, and dreams. Imagination is the strongest when the images (pictures) and ideas are things never seen or experienced directly.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, & Happy New Year from What Children Do!®: What is a Train?

What Children Do!®: What is a Train?

The word ‘train’ comes from the Old French trahiner, itself from the Latin trahere‘pull, draw’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train).

A train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track (permanent way) to transport cargo or passengers from one place to another place. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway.

Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive, or from individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives or by electricity supplied by overhead wires or additional rails, although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century) the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power. Other sources of power (such as horses, rope or wire, gravity, pneumatics, batteries, and gas turbines) are possible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train).

Trains are an “old fashion” Christmas gift. “What Do Trains Have To Do With Christmas?” by Paul D. Race states:

…trains and Christmas have “gone together” for generations in most parts of the country. But it wasn’t always so, and it some ways, it doesn’t even make sense. It’s not like Mary and Joseph rode a train from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Nor was Santa ever sighted delivering packages by Railway Express Agency. But to many families today, a toy or model train around the Christmas tree seems as “normal” as a star or angel on the top…

What Children Do!®: What is the Ecosystem?

What Children Do!®: What is the Ecosystem?

This topic is endorsed by TMSC Consulting Services, LLC Psychic Nosology Division by Tres Mali Scott

An ecosystem is a biological environment consisting of all the organisms living in a particular area, as well as all the nonliving (abiotic), physical components of the environment with which the organisms interact, such as air, soil, water and sunlight.^{[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem).}

The ecosystem simply is the balance that nature has. The ecosystem, when in balance, keeps plants, animals, and human beings reproducing. Seeds carried by birds and bees from tree to tree and flower to flower, animals making the right sounds to find a mate, and us human beings when we reach a certain age, get to date and marry.

Ecology is the science that studies the different systems of the ecosystem. The two are called:

1. Biotic and
2. Abiotic.

Life (cf. biota/biotic) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes (i. e., living organisms) from those that do not,^[1][2] either because such functions have ceased (death), or else because they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate.^[3][4] Biology is the science concerned with the study of life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life).

In biology, abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment. Abiotic phenomena underlie all of biology. Abiotic factors, while

generally downplayed, can have enormous impact on evolution. Abiotic components are aspects of geodiversity.They can also be recognised as “abiotic pathogens” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiotic).

What Children Do!®: What About Attending Dance Class?

From: TMSC Consulting SVCS, LLC Developmental Division and Helium.com Where Knowledge Rules by Tres Mali Scott, M.Ed., M.S., Ph.D. (ABD), 2nd & 3rd Place Pulitzer Center Citizen Journalist Award.

Dance class? Sounds very simple. When I started Ballet and Tap class I was three years old. It was simple then. Saturday at the park I took ballet and then tap class. I became more serious about the “art of dancing”. The simple Saturday class at the park turned into one of the best dance schools in the nation back then and four to five classes a week. Some children will do very well in dance class and other activities offered.

Keep in mind, that it could become a future commitment and the cost will increase.For many young people, dancing can become a passion. Dance class includes recitals, costumes, friends, and other outings. Some recitals require tickets purchased.

It is also important to look at the type of school and what it is for. Once I attended a dance school that was like the “Russian Ballet”. The instructor was to serious for me. At the time I was attending dance class for enjoyment and recreation. My wonderful mother found another school that I attended. I did very well, meet a lot of friends, and enjoyed many, many recitals. Honest communication is important as well. Try not to live your life through your child’s experiences.

Yes, you should enroll your child in dance class, football players sometimes take dance classes to improve. Many young men are great tap dancers. There are dance classes for both sexes that are gender role appropriate.

For social development, dance class is a great way for parents to meet other parents and children to meet new friends. Children learn to follow directions, cooperate with peers, and learn how to interact age appropriately. Most classes are organized by age.

In conclusion, yes you should enroll your child in an age and sex appropriated dance class that will improve social interactions, and do not forget it can turn into a great profession or enduring hobby. Be prepared for the cost of costumes and recital tickets and look into the school and type of teacher your child will have for classes. Each child is different if you have more than one child enrolled at a time, they may respond differently to the same environment

What Children Do!: What are Behavioral Sciences?

Social Sciences Division by Tres Mali Scott, M.Ed., M.S., Ph.D. (ABD)

Science, no matter what field, uses methods to gather, measure, and report data
from controlled, ethical, empirical, qualitative or quantitative
research.

The title that covers most of the “sciences” is Behavioral
Science, since there is a lot of overlap. What are the Behavioral
Sciences?

Behavioral Science is the branch of science that studies human
and animal behavior. Behavioral science looks at the impact or influences that
societies, groups, and cultures have on individual behavior. Depending upon the
area in behavioral sciences other medical or social sciences may be included.
Behavioral science focuses more on reactions within and between organisms that
dictate behavioral trends and has many common studies with the Social
Sciences.

The Social Sciences focuses more on structural systems and
cultures. Behavioral science also has many common studies with the Medical
Sciences, neurology, chemistry, and geology, that influence individual behavior.
An example is Autism, which is most commonly treated with psychological therapy
to improve interaction, but is considered a neurological disorder or postpartum
depression, that is treated by psychologist, but is considered a hormonal
imbalance -chemical.

The larger titles that describe the sciences
include:

The Formula Science:

• Computer,
• Statistics, etc.

Behavioral and Social Sciences:

• Anthropology,
• Archaeology,
• Criminology,
• History,
• Psychology,
• Sociology, etc.
