Animals, symbolism

The earliest archaeological evidence for the use of hallucinogenic snuffs dates to 1500 B.C. in Mesoamerica. Use of tobacco snuffs, from which such use was modeled, however, may date to 5000 B.C. There are probably no animal examples of intranasal self-administration that served as original models for this behavior, although the iconography of snuffing pipes and other paraphernalia is replete with animal symbolism (11). Bird bones were commonly used as early snuffing... 

Alone symbol of the Fixed. Winged the Volatile, Mercury. The hon also represents the mineral (or green vitriol) from which one extracts oil of vitriol (sulfuric acid) which is used by Alchemists. The lion, opposed to three other animals, symbolizes the Earth. It is also the symbol of the Chrysoprase. 

Usually driver distraction should be minimized by use of static symbols. Animated symbols are reasonable only for urgent messages. If moving symbols are used the movement must be meaningful. 

Potassium [7440-09-7] K, is the third, element ia the aLkaU metal series. The name designation for the element is derived from potash, a potassium mineral the symbol from the German name kalium, which comes from the Arabic qili, a plant. The ashes of these plants al qili) were the historical source of potash for preparing fertilisers (qv) or gun powder. Potassium ions, essential to plants and animals, play a key role in carbohydrate metaboHsm in plants. In animals, potassium ions promote glycolysis, Hpolysis, tissue respiration, and the synthesis of proteins (qv) and acetylcholine. Potassium ions are also beheved to function in regulating blood pressure. 

In this section, multimedia tools refer to computer-based systems that integrate multiple symbol systems (Salomon, 1979), such as text, audio, video, graph, and animation, to demonstrate chemical entities and/or processes at the macro, submicro, or symbolic levels. In the following, we review four multimedia tools—4M Chem, ChemSense, Molecular Workbench, and Connected Chemistry—and use the design principles suggested by Wu and Shah (2004) to summarize how these tools support students in learning chemistry. 

All of the four multimedia tools reviewed in this section have features to support the first three principles all of them include multiple and linked representations at the macro, submicro, and symbolic levels, such as texts, graphs, chemical symbols, animations, and videos. Not only do they present the dynamic and interactive nature... 

First, each medium uses different symbol systems to convey irrformatiom For example, animations can easily show the interactive and submicro natrrre of chemical changes, and videos allow students to observe macroscopic phenomena that cannot be reproduced in classrooms. Thus, designers and educations need to appreciate the advantages of different media and carefully select them when developing multimedia tools to better support students learning. 

This section began with a class discussion about the importance of water softening and the different factors that influence water hardness. As an example of everyday situation, the efficiency of dishwasher Finish salt was presented. A set of short chemical experiments entitled Testing the dishwasher Finish salt was carried out as a wet laboratory task in groups of students (macro). Later on teachers explained one of those chemical experiments by the use of an animation and also by its 2D presentation with models then students in groups tried to write 2D representations for other chemical experiments (submicro). Students also tried to write down word and symbolic equations and to select the appropriate energy diagrams (symbolic). The results of students work were discussed and corrected when necessary. 

This symbol appears when safety of animals and students must be ensured.
