Bakgrund: I kursplanen för år 5 finns både strävans- och uppnåendemål inom naturvetenskapens tre områden 2013 kemi, fysik och biologi. Det finns studier som visar att den naturvetenskapliga undervisningen är obefintlig inom vissa områden för de lägre åldrarna. Detta beror på att pedagogerna för de lägre åldrarna inte är förtrogna med kemi och fysik själva och därför undviker ämnet samt dess begrepp. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka hur lärarna för klass 1-3 spontant tänker kring begreppen fast och flytande form samt gasform, ljudets utbredning och magnetism samt vilka arbetsformer de kan tänka sig att arbeta med inom respektive område samt vilken inställning de har till att etablera begrepp hos barnen. Metod: Vi har valt att göra en kvalitativ studie genom att intervjua åtta lärare, för att få fram lärarnas spontana tankar.

This thesis examines the Swedish Democrats relationship to an islamophobic worldview. The party developed from the racist party Bevara Sverige Svenskt (Keep Sweden Swedish) and is today the third largest party in Sweden, which gives them a powerful position in the society.

In this thesis I examine the Swedish Democrat?s material during the election campaign the years of 2006, 2010 and 2014 using Ernesto Laclau?s and Chantal Mouffe?s discourse theory.

Times do change and today the situation is the other way around - most of us live within city boundaries and only few work with farming and related agricultural businesses. One thing that has not changed though, is the need of supplies from Swedish agriculture.What do we think of those products? Are we even aware of the connection between us and agriculture? The Federation of Swedish Farmers, LRF (Lantbrukarnas riksförbund), started their project to strengthen the link between consumers and producers in 2008.This paper is part of the project and its aim is to investigate consumers' views and values upon the effects and products from Swedish agriculture.Opinions and values have been studied through interviews influenced by phenomenology.

The title of this thesis is ?The preconditions of the acquisition guarantee- hard to design working political reforms?. The acquisition guarantee (förvärvsgaranti) is a form of credit guarantee issued by the Swedish government to credit institutes that give out housing loans to debtors with poor credit history. The reform hasn´t been used in any substantial extent.The purpose of the study is to investigate whether you could identify any problems with the preconditions that the governmental agency BKN was given to implement the acquisition guarantee, and if so describe which these problems are.Two questions are answered:1.      What preconditions for a working implementation of the guarantee, in the form of rules, objectives and directives was offered by the government in their steering of BKN?2.      How did the structural preconditions for a working implementation of the guarantee look like?By doing a text analysis of central documents I find that the lack of outcome could to some extent be related to weaknesses in how the reform was formulated.
