INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will need an aluminum beverage can, scissors, water, ice and a thermometer to complete this method of measuring dew point. If you want to do this experiment on a larger scale, use a metal bucket instead. You might also benefit from having a pencil and paper to record your results. Cut off the top portion of the lid. For a clean cut, use a can opener. Be gentle and take your time or else you may have sharp aluminum protruding out. Check the weather forecast before starting the experiment. To accurately measure dew point, instead of frost point, the temperature should be above freezing. Aim for 60 °F (16 °C) weather for best results. You can still proceed with your experiment if the weather is colder or warmer.

SUMMARY: Gather the materials. Cut your aluminum can. Complete the experiment on a day when temperatures are above freezing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will show your instructor that you're interested in improving your class performance. Regular attendance will also decrease the amount of time you'll need to spend studying the class concepts, since you'll already have heard them presented in class. Going to each class will also allow you take comprehensive notes, rather than relying on borrowing notes from a friend. If you miss a class, send an email to your teacher beforehand and ask what information you'll miss. Also ask if there's a way to make up any in-class assignments you won't be able to complete. in the classroom discussion. Listen to the concepts your teacher explains in class and follow along when they show problems on the board. Being an active participant will show your teacher you're engaged and making an effort to learn. You'll pick up more math skills and knowledge, and start performing better on homework and tests. Plus, you'll start to enjoy math more!  Try to avoid looking out the window, daydreaming, or letting your mind wander to your after-school plans. Also stay off your phone and computer while you're studying (unless you're using them to look up something math-related). While these activities may seem more enjoyable than following the math lecture, too much daydreaming will result in poor math grades. during classroom lectures. Listen carefully when your instructor speaks, and write down everything they draw or write on the board. When learning a certain concept, try to compile a list of steps to review later. When your teacher writes examples on the board, copy them down as well as how to solve them for future reference.  Say that your teacher is going over how to find the area of a triangle. You'd want to write something like, “Area = half of the base (b) × height (h). If b = 20 and h = 10, the area = 100.” Also draw a figure of a triangle with the base and height clearly labeled. If you take sloppy, incomplete notes, you'll struggle to pick up the math concepts. Worse, you'll perform poorly on tests and your grade will suffer. It's not uncommon for students with poor math grades to avoid asking questions in class because they feel that they'll be embarrassed if they don't know something. In reality, asking questions of your teacher is one of the best ways to resolve any confusions you may have. If you're confused or don't understand something, raise your hand and ask a question! Chances are, you're not the only one confused.  For example, you could ask something like, “I didn't quite understand what you said about the order of operations. Am I always supposed to solve equations within the parentheses first?” Or ask, “Can you remind me of the difference between reflection and rotation in geometry?” If you feel shy or nervous during class, speak with your instructor afterwards. Or, try sending an email if you feel a little shy about speaking with the teacher. If you're in high school or college and your teacher keeps regular office hours, stop by and chat about whatever math questions you may have. When you start the test, first solve all of the questions that you feel confident about. Then, if you have time, go back to questions you don't understand as well and take a stab at them. Write out the steps to the solution and the answers clearly. Once you've finished taking the test, check over your answers to make sure you've given the correct information.  Pace yourself while you're taking the test, and don't put pressure on yourself while you're working. Do keep an eye on the clock while you're taking the test, though, so you don't run out of time partway through. If a teacher spots where you made a mistake during your solution to a problem, they may show you how to avoid making the same mistake again in the future.
Summary: Attend every math class to make sure you don't miss any lectures. Pay attention and participate Take careful, dedicated notes Ask your teacher if you have any questions. Come to class with a positive attitude in order to ace your tests.

Moving more throughout your shift can help you keep unwanted weight off. If possible, opt for light exercise during your night shift. Not only will this help you burn more calories, it could help you sleep better at night. For example, you can take walks during your breaks, walk up and down stairs during spare moments, or do stretches in your cubicle or office. Many people who work night shifts have an erratic schedule. Due to this, you may have trouble making time in your routine for exercise. However, if you want to lose weight, regular exercise needs to be part of your schedule.  Find a time that works for you to exercise. Exercising after work is probably not practical, and may actually be dangerous if you're jogging on the street at 3AM. However, see if you can find time in the afternoon. Look for gaps in your schedule. Say you get to bed by 4AM on most nights, and tend to sleep until one. Your shift typically starts at nine o'clock. You could find some time during the afternoon to get in 45 minutes of aerobics a few times a week. For weight loss, it's recommended you get in 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of intense physical activity each week. Make sure you hit those numbers by exercising three to four times a week.  Choose an activity you like and are likely to stick to. If you loathe running, jogging will probably not be your best route to weight loss. However, if you love riding your bike, make time for an afternoon bike ride a few times a week. You can find ways to make working out less tedious. Listen to music while you jog or use your treadmill. Watch television at the gym to make the time go by faster. It's a bad idea to jump into a vigorous exercise routine if you've been inactive for a while. Ease into any workout routine slowly. For example, if you want to start running, begin with walking and slow-paced jogging before you begin to sprint. You should also talk to your doctor before beginning a new form of exercise. You want to make sure you do not strain yourself.

One-sentence summary -- Exercise at work, if possible. Work time for exercise into your schedule. Get an appropriate amount of exercise in each week. Ease into a workout routine if you've been inactive for awhile.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Preheat the oven at 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Let your pastry dough thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out each sheet of dough until it is a 10 inch (25.4 cm) by 12 inch rectangle. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of water. Brush the mixture along the surface of the dough. Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese, Gruyère cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper on each piece of pastry. Use a rolling pin to gently press the ingredients into the dough. Cut each sheet on the short side into 11 or 12 small strips with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Twist each strip and lay them on the baking sheets. You should have 22-24 straws when done. Cook the straws for 10 to 15 minutes. They should be lightly brown and puffy. Turn each straw over and cook for another 2 minutes. Take them out and let them cool. Serve at room temperature. Make sure you do not overcook these. The cheese will burn.

SUMMARY:
Preheat the oven. Shape the dough. Make the straws. Cook the straws.
