Bachelor of Science in Biology
You will need to earn a Bachelors of Science in Biology before enrolling into medical school. Some medical schools offer pre-med programs you can pass that will give you the necessary classes to enroll into medical school and prepare you for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). Common coursework needed to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Biology degree includes:
In order to become a doctor, you can choose to major in various undergraduate studies, but you will need to take a significant number of classes in science studies. Most accredited programs will require you to successfully complete undergraduate coursework in English, mathematics, and social sciences.
Medical College Admission Test
Before you can enroll into a medical school, you will need to pass the MCAT, which is a multiple-choice test that covers biology, physical science, verbal skills, writing abilities, and critical thinking skills. Most medical universities utilize your scoring to determine your acceptance for admission.
Doctor of Medicine
Medical schools require you to undergo both classroom education and clinical training, which takes approximately four years to complete. In your first two years of schooling, you will devote your time to laboratory experience and book study, which will prepare you to successfully diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. Upon completion of your second year, you will need to pass the first section of the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) through the National Board of Medical Examiners.
During your last two years in medical school, you will obtain your clinical experience and practical training by working under an attending physician at hospitals and clinics. Upon completion of your fourth year of schooling, you will take the second licensing test through the National Board of Medical Examiners, which will allow you to begin your residency training.
Medical Residency
Taking between three to seven years, medical residency focuses on completing your practical training and experience in the medical environment. You can choose to undergo a post-residency fellowship if you have sub-specialized in a specific sector, such as geriatric, vascular, or internal medicine.
Licensing Requirements
Each state holds its own licensing requirements, but most require you to complete a minimum of one year in a residency program and the completion of your board certification. Once you have met your state’s licensing requirements, you can obtain your medical licensure and can legally practice as a medical doctor.
Science experiment onflooding(Teckweng,Junjie,Gabriel,Zhixin,Adon)
Introduction of project:
There has been a severe flood threat and there are three types of soil,top soil,clay and sand. We are in a race against time to control and prevent the damaging effects of a flash flood. Only one of the sections can be completed by the river engineers given the limited time.
Aim of project:
Find out which type of soil is best at preventing water from going through
Hypothesis and variables
Hypothesis: the best type of soil to be used in the sand bags to build the levee is clay.
Independent variable: type of soil
Dependent variable:
Volume of water in the beaker at the end of the experiment.
Constant:
Type of water
Volume of water poured in each set-up
The mass of soil for each set-up
Identical set-ups for the experiment except for the type of soil
Conclusion: the best type of soil used in sand bags to build the levee is clay.The set-up with clay has the least volume of water collected in the beaker at the end of the experiment.This proves that clay slower down the rate at which the water is passing through.
Question 2.
Hypothesis:We should build the levee for section B as the soil used to build he levee for section B is clay soil hence the levee will be able to prevent the most amount of water from going through.
Conclusion:As the best type of soil used to be build the levee is the clay soil, we will build section B first. As the soil used to build the levee for section B is the clay soil and the damage will not be as serious.
Carrying out experiment:
Materials needed
1.3 plastic bottles
2.400g of sand, topsoil and clay soil
3.piece of fine mesh
4.250ml beaker
5.100ml measuring cylinder
6.electronic balance
7.stopwatch
8.hand lens
9.gloves,plastic spoons and scissors
10.soil testing device
Steps for conducting the experiment
1)Pour 200 g of each type of soil into each of the 3 soil- testing device
2)Pour 200ml of water into each of the soil- testing device at the same time.
3)Measure the volume of water in each beaker after 2 minutes.
4)Record down the result
5)Clear the wet soil and water in the beaker and the soil- testing device
6)Repeat step 1 to step 5 for the second time.
7)Compare both results and get the average result
8)compare the end result with the hypothesis.
9)Make a conclusion
Hypothesis:
Clay will allow least water to pass through and is the best type of soil to be used in the sand bags.

Getting results
Results recorded
Analysis and discussion of results
The clay soil is the most compact and there will be least air holes in the soil. Therefore, the water will pass through the soil at a slower rate compared to the top soil which has the most number of airholes in the soil.
Further research and study
What should the sandbags be made of?
A sandbag (floodbag) is a sack made of hessian/burlap, polypropylene or other materials that is filled with sand or soil and used for such purposes as flood control, military fortification, shielding glass windows in war zones and ballast.
Advantages are that burlap and sand are inexpensive, and that the bags can be brought in empty and filled with local sand or soil.

Cyber wellness is:
Being safe in the cyber world,
Respecting others online,
Not being too addicted to the net,
I think we should be like an eagle with sharp eyes to filter what is good and what is bad on the internet.
We have to spot danger and know how to be safe.
