* INTRODUCTION
The purposes of this form are to give you information that may affect your decision whether to say YES or NO to participation in this research regarding the influence of language on multimedia, an eye tracking study at Room 1116 in the Engineering & Computational Sciences Building (ECSB) at Old Dominion University and to record the consent of those who say YES.
RESEARCHERS
Ginger S. Watson, Ph.D., Responsible Project Investigator Associate Professor Instructional Design & Technology Program Department of STEM Education and Professional Studies Darden College of Education & Virginia Modeling, Analysis & Simulation Center Old Dominion University
Arwa A. Mashat, Doctoral Candidate Instructional Design and Technology Program Department of STEM Education and Professional Studies Darden College of Education Old Dominion University
DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH STUDY
If you decide to participate in this study, you will join a study involving eye tracking to track your eye movements. If you choose to participate in this study, you will complete an online survey that includes a short pre-test, a unit of instruction, and a post-test. This research will be looking into images with text and how the learner’s interact with the material presented. In addition, the study looks at the student’s learning when material is presented in English versus presented in Arabic and if the writing orientation of a language has any affect on learning. Approximately 60 participants will complete this study. If you say YES, then your participation will last for approximately 45-60 minutes at the Engineering & Computational Sciences Building (ECSB), Old Dominion University.
EXCLUSIONARY CRITERIA
You should be 18 or older and ONE of the following:
*Your native language is written from left to right and never learned or experienced a language written from right to left.
*Learned or learning Arabic or any language written from right to left
*Native Arabic speaker
RISKS AND BENEFITS
RISKS: This study uses eye tracker to record your eye movements. The eye tracker does not involve any physical contact with you and your experience should be similar to using a desktop computer with keyboard and mouse. This type of eye tracker should not cause you physical discomfort.
BENEFITS: There are no direct benefits for participation in the study.
COSTS AND PAYMENTS
There will be no costs for participating in this study. The researchers want your decision about participating in this study to be absolutely voluntary. Yet they recognize that your participation may pose costs such as time and effort. In order to help defray your cost you will receive $20 gift card after completing the study.
NEW INFORMATION
If the researchers find new information during this study that would reasonably change your decision about participating, then they will give it to you.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The researchers will take all steps necessary to keep private information confidential. The researcher will store information in a locked filling cabinet and personally identifiable information will be replace with an identification number prior to its processing by the research team. The results of this study may be used in reports, presentations, and publications; but the researcher will not identify you. Of course, your records may be subpoenaed by court order or inspected by government bodies with oversight authority.
WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE
It is OK for you to say NO. Even if you say YES now, you are free to say NO later, and walk away or withdraw from the study ‑‑ at any time.
COMPENSATION FOR ILLNESS AND INJURY
If you say YES, then your consent in this document does not waive any of your legal rights. However, in the event of injury or illness arising from this study, neither Old Dominion University nor the researchers are able to give you any money, insurance coverage, free medical care, or any other compensation for such injury. In the event that you suffer injury as a result of participation in any research project, you may contact Dr. Ginger Watson, principal investigator, at 757-683-3246 or Dr. George Maihafer the current IRB chair at 757-683‑4520 at Old Dominion University, or the Old Dominion University Office of Research at 757-683-3460, who will be glad to review the matter with you.
VOLUNTARY CONSENT
By clicking on the “Yes, I agree” button below you are saying several things. You are saying that you have read this form or have had it read to you, that you are satisfied that you understand this form, the research study, and its risks and benefits. The researchers should have answered any questions you may have had about the research. If you have any questions later on, then the researchers should be able to answer them: Ginger S. Watson, Ph.D. (757 – 683 – 3246) or Arwa Mashat (330 – 550 – 9348). If at any time you feel pressured to participate, or if you have any questions about your rights or this form, then you should call Dr. George Maihafer, the current IRB chair, at 757‑683‑4520, or the Old Dominion University Office of Research, at 757‑683‑3460. And importantly, by clicking on the “Yes, I agree” button below, you are telling the researcher YES, that you agree to participate in this study. The researcher should give you a copy of this form for your records. |

Matter
Matter is everything around you that has mass and takes up space. Even though matter can be found all over the Universe, you will only find it in a few forms on Earth, such as solids, liquids, gases, plasmas and one state called the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). Plasma was a new idea identified by William Crookes in 1879. The scientists who worked with the BEC received a Nobel Prize for their work in 1995.
State of Matter
It's about the physical state of the molecules and atoms. Molecules can move from one physical state to another and not change their basic structure. A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. It has the same molecular structure whether it is a gas, liquid, or solid. Although its physical state may change, its chemical state remains the same.

What is a chemical change?
Chemical changes occur when the bonds between atoms in a molecule are created or destroyed. Changes in the physical state are related to changes in the environment such as temperature, pressure, and other physical forces. Generally, the basic chemical structure does not change when there is a physical change. Of course, in extreme environments such as the sun, no molecule is safe from destruction.
Phase Change
Phase describes a physical state of matter. Things only move from one phase to another by physical means. If energy is added (like increasing the temperature) or if energy is taken away (like freezing something), you have created a physical change. The six phases melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation and deposition will be explained. |

Phase 1: Melting
Melting occurs when solids are changed to liquid due to heat. There is a special temperature for every substance called the melting point. When a solid reaches the temperature of its melting point, it can become a liquid. For ice to become water, the temperature needs to be a little over zero degrees Celsius for it to melt.
Phase 2: Freezing
Freezing occurs when liquid is changed to solid when the temperature is lowered below its freezing point. If you put a water drop in the freezer, it would become a solid piece of ice. No matter what physical state it is in, it is always water. It always had the same chemical properties.

Phase 3: Vaporization
Vaporization occurs when liquid is changed to gas at high temperatures. Once you can direct that energy into your molecules, they will start to vibrate. If they vibrate enough, they can escape the limitations of the liquid and become a gas. When you reach your boiling point, the molecules in your system have enough energy to become a gas.
Phase 4: Condensation
Condensation is the reverse of vaporization and happens when several gas molecules come together and form a liquid. Gases are really excited atoms. When they lose energy, they slow down and begin to collect into one drop. Water vapor in the form of steam condenses on the surface (lid of your pot) when you boil water.

Phase 5: Sublimation
Sublimation occurs when solid become a gas at very high temperatures. The easiest example of sublimation might be dry ice. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2) if left out in a room; it just turns into a gas. Which means liquid carbon dioxide can be made, but not in normal situations.
Phase 6: Deposition
Deposition is the reverse of sublimation. It occurs when gas becomes solid without going through the liquid state of matter at very low temperatures. People who live near the equator may not have seen it, but closer to the poles people might notice frost on winter mornings. Those little frost crystals on plants build up when water vapor from the air becomes a solid on the leaves of plants.
