Chemistry of Charge

Chemistry of ChargeA lot of people have considered chemistry as a degree program with a choice of Science, Liberal Arts or even Business, but for many, it has been the result of their desire to learn about the natural elements, especially in regards to the question of the net charge and chemistry. What is the net charge? Where does the net charge come from?The net charge is a term that can be applied to the chemical bonds in a molecule. These bonds act as weak connections between atoms, so they are known as net bonds. On average, the number of atoms that are connected by a net bond is one less than the number of atoms that are attached to an atom or molecule of a different element. Thus, the net charge of a molecule is negative when a molecule is negatively charged and positive when it is positively charged.Net charge has two parts: the term 'net' refers to the same thing that the term 'charge' does in regard to standard chemistry, and the rest refers to the atomic properties of the molecule. Thus, these two components are known as net charge.The only reason why net charge is important is because the rest of the chemistry that surrounds it will give us clues as to how we should treat the elements that make up our planet. If we were to study the reactions of atoms that make up the reactions of other molecules, the energy of a reaction will be affected. Thus, when a molecule is affected by the reaction of another molecule, the net charge will be altered.For example, if you were to look at some neutral molecules, and you set them under a vacuum, then a negative charge would be caused to those molecules, and a positive charge would be caused to the others. However, if you set those same molecules under a high pressure, then they would become 'neutralized', and they would then return to their original state. With this, you can understand how two neutral molecules could eventually become negatively chargedin an instant, and how two positively charged molecules could eventually become positively charged in an instant. This is the definition of net charge.The relationship between the net charge and the rest of the chemical properties of the molecule, the electron configuration of the atoms, and the bonding properties are what is called the 'chemistry of charge'. When you find these properties in any of the molecules, you can refer to the information of the chemistry of charge to find out what is going on. For example, when the electron configuration of the molecule is not polarized in a specific direction, it will be neutral. If it is polarized, then it will not be neutral, it will be either negatively charged or positively charged.There are many differences that exist between science and nature, and this is one of them. In nature, there is a certain order that has been established, and that there is an apparent order in which the atoms are arranged. Science on the other hand has no such structure and therefore, no validity. Therefore, the chemis try of charge is something that you must understand and learn from before you decide whether or not to pursue a career in the field of chemistry.

Simple Academic Strategies Part Two

Simple Academic Strategies Part Two Improving Academic Performance In our last article, we talked about how thinking strategically is as important to students as it is to businesses. We described how, by thinking strategically about what classes to take, any given student can position him or herself well to graduate on time even if they switch majors, be more attractive to employers, and enjoy their academic experience, at the margin, more than they otherwise would. In this post, we’ll explore some simple, obvious, but powerful strategies for performing well in any given class. I wasn't the best student in high school, but I do remember setting goals. The problem was with the goals I set. I wanted to get “As and Bs.” Well, if you aren’t the most diligent student, and your goal is “As and Bs, “ what happens? You get As, Bs, and Cs â€" nobody meets their goals all the time, particularly if they aren’t the most diligent student. Putting aside the fact that I wasn’t the most diligent student, this was an example of poor goal setting, which you could also call poor strategy. Here’s another example, ever since high school, I’ve been amazed at the number of students who didn’t fully realize how their grade in any given class was going to be determined. They didn’t gather the simple facts that would help them determine what percentage of your grade is based on homework, attendance, tests, quizzes, or projects. If you don’t have a full understanding of how the grade is determined, your chances of earning a high grade are drastically diminished. Or, the effort you must exert to attain a high grade will invariably be higher than it needs to be, because you focus on the wrong things. Again, bad strategy. Moving beyond how the grade is determined into the meat of the article, many students get frustrated by not understanding concepts in class, having difficulty on homework, exams, and papers, and ultimately struggling to get an “A” while ignoring simple actions they could be taken to improve their situation. They retreat to the library or their room, put their head down, and study for hours, which is tiring and not much fun. In this article, I’m not even going to address specific strategies for achieving better understanding of difficult concepts and improving memory which will ultimately improve your performance. Previous articles on the growth mindset and deliberate practice cover topics like this. You could also read A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Algebra Here, I’ll just describe some simple, yet strategic approaches to doing better in any given class. First, you need to set a goal. If you’d really like to get an “A,” make that your goal. If that’s your goal, you will naturally be inclined to work a little harder to meet that goal. If you say “A or B”, it’s far more likely you’ll meet your goal â€" and not get an A. Second, you need to gather some simple facts on how the class works. For example, many teachers or professors make it clear that their class will operate in specific ways: many of the exam questions are direct derivations of problems reviewed in class, or any student should feel free to drop off their reports a few days in advance to obtain feedback before final submission or class participation counts for a lot (or a little) or some concepts you’ll need to know are covered not in class, but in the required readings done for homework, or office hours are from 3-5 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I’m happy to cover questions from class, homework, or exams, etc. Reading the syllabus in detail and attending the first class to learn the intricacies of the professor, and in general, the process of understanding how you’ll be graded, is really the fact-base that should feed into your plan of attack for the class. If you know you’ve never performed well on written assignments or essays, written assignments count for 50% of this class, but the teacher is also willing to read and provide feedback on any given paper that is turned in a week before the due date, then you need to make plans to have that paper finished for review 7 days in advance. So, now we’re getting into what alternatives to consider and plans to make coming out of the fact-base you’ve developed about the class. Let’s consider two scenarios: completing a paper early, and using office hours. If you just get your paper done 7 days in advance, the professor will sometimes review it and provide you with feedback. I’m not saying this is always true, but it sometimes is. Do you think your chances of getting a good grade go up if your professor is reading a final version that incorporates the suggestions he or she made to you already? Absolutely they go up. They go up a lot. Or, let’s consider homework and office hours. Many students are busy. They have a lot of classes, and many other responsibilities. But, the simple strategy of a) always doing assigned homework and b) going to office hours if you don’t understand something in the homework is one of the most simple, but powerful ways to perform well in a class. But, few students follow it. It takes a little dedication and time management, but honestly, it’s easy to do. The final step is simple, but important. If your strategy is to get every paper done 7 days in advance and have it reviewed, and to complete your homework and attend office hours if you need to, you have to plan the time to actually do those things. This is where time management and organization skills play a key role. A good strategy, poorly executed, won’t lead to the results you’re looking for.

I finished the italki 2014 World Cup Language Challenge!

I finished the italki 2014 World Cup Language Challenge! Lindsaydoeslanguages is blogging about her World Cup Language Challenge and we’re reposting here to share with the entire italki Community. This blog post  originally was posted  on  Lindsaydoeslanguages.com  website. Well, that’s it! It’s over! 25 lessons in 8 weeks sounds like quite the challenge, and at times, it definitely was. So today I want to share some things I did (and didn’t) do during the italki World Cup Language Challenge â€" and what I want to do next time to make it even better and more productive. Things I did. Book in advance I booked all my lessons right at the start â€" with the exception of one that a tutor couldn’t do that I rebooked later on. Would I do this again? Yes! Although 2 months is quite a long time and unexpected trips and other exciting (or not so exciting â€" I’m looking at you essays!) things pop up, it really helped with motivation to have the structure there from the outset. No other study I just had my italki lessons for learning Portuguese. I didn’t get my head stuck in a grammar book (or any other book for that matter) and I really enjoyed just speaking with people, in a natural way about normal stuff. Would I do this again? Yes and no. I’d love to try this out with other skills. For example, I’d love to see how far I could get with just reading in a language, like Dani over at I Simply Love Languages is doing right now with Catalan, or just listening. You know, just for fun. A weekly challenge Setting myself the weekly goals worked a treat at keeping me on the ball. I know the World Cup is over now but I genuinely wrote that sentence with no football puns intended. Honest. Would I do it again? Yes! Little goals are fab because you can constantly achieve something. Saying “I want to speak ___ fluently by ___” is great, but you never feel like you’ve got anywhere if you don’t set mini goals along the way too! Change my challenges a bit Despite setting myself these goals and finding them a great help, I wasn’t afraid to change them along the way if they didn’t quite fit. For example, week 7, I didn’t do a video at all and decided to try my hand at a bit of writing in Portuguese. Would I do it again? Yes! Obviously, changing a goal of “learning 10 words a day” to “learning 1 word a day” is a slight over exageration and won’t quite be effective, but if you feel something is too easy (see week 3!) then don’t be afraid to up your goals. And if it’s not a case of upping them, but rather lowering them, don’t! Keep your goal the same, just perhaps change how long you give yourself to achieve it, or how you’re going to measure it. Lots of different teachers I had a grand total of 9 different tutors for the challenge! Murillo, Luana, Danillo, Fernanda, Valdecir, Lucas, Sophia, Wesley and Renan. Phew. I wanted a range of European and Brazilian speakers as well as male and female just to mix things up a bit. Would I do it again? Hmm..pros and cons. It was good for this challenge because I just wanted to talk to lots of people but to really progress quickly I think one tutor to get to know you may be better. That said, I really enjoyed meeting such a range of Portuguese speakers! Things I didn’t do. Write on the italki notebook I didn’t do this for the New Year Language Challenge either. I’m lazy! Would I not do this again? It depends. For Portuguese, my main focus was speaking so the Notebook wasn’t a top priority â€" especially if I had a couple of back to back lessons! If I wanted to achieve a higher level in a language then I’d definitely make the effort to use the Notebook after each lesson. Write notes I didn’t even write any personal notes. Living on the edge. Would I not do this again? I don’t know. I’ve not written language notes on cold hard paper for a while despite being a bit of a stubborn one when it comes to technology and loving an actual paper book in my hands. Maybe I should treat myself to a fancy notebook next time! Worry about progress Hakuna Matata! The lack of exams, tests or necessity took the stress of speedy progress off. Phew. Would I not do it again? Yes! I love learning languages for the fun of it rather than to pass an exam. I can’t wait until I have the time to devote to a new language in this way! Oh, and one more thing I did do was make videos throughout. Head over to my YouTube channel to check them out if you missed any. In the meantime, here’s the video for my final weekly goal â€" all about idioms. And if you enjoy, don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube. There’s even a button to do it at the top right hand side of this page. Easy peasy!

Grammar Schools - Tutor Hunt Blog

Grammar Schools Grammar Schools Grammar SchoolsSchoolsThe topic of grammar schools has always been a contentious one - by having what is effectively an entrance exam, do they pave a privileged path for certain children, leading them towards opportunity and prosperity, and consign those who did not perform well enough on that one day, when they were only eleven years old, to a second rate education? Many would say that this is being overly dramatic - there is, in theory, nothing subsidiary about state schools in comparison to grammar schools. A child of ability will flourish in any environment, as long as they are given opportunity: this is the power of education. Teresa May`s recent campaign to overturn the ban on creating new grammar schools has angered many people. Her most anodyne of opponents have stated that grammar schools do not actually provide better education, and a pupil who passes their eleven plus would do just as well if they attended a state comprehensive. The Education Policy Institute conducted a thorough data analysis, and concluded that `Once prior attainment and pupil background is taken into consideration, we find no overall attainment impact of grammar schools, either positive or negative.` More vociferous opponents of Teresa May`s proposal have said that grammar schools only help to widen the divide between children from affluent backgrounds, and those from average or lower income families. With grammar schools tending to crop up in more prosperous areas, it is easy to see the correlation here. There is also evidence that many teachers are drawn to grammar schools, as they relish the opportunity of working with children who are more intellectually able; and so there is an ever greater impoverishment of teachers to supply the needs of comprehensive schools. Teresa May has argued that increasing the number of grammar schools will enhance social mobility - a claim severely critiqued by many in the education sector. Malcolm Trobe, acting general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, has said, in reference to the Education Policy Institute report, `creating more selective schools will not raise overall educational standards in England and is likely to widen the attainment gap between rich and poor children,` The decision by Teresa May to increase the number of grammar schools is a radical volte-face, going against the policy of the last five decades. Since the late 1960`s there has been a trend towards comprehensive schools. Labour`s Education minister Tony Crosland launched a vehement campaign to `destroy every *expletive deleted* grammar school in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.` This impassioned policy was much to do with reforming the ideology of privilege, as it was to reform the secondary schooling system. It was a bold riposte against the conservatism of his opponents, and until Teresa May`s September statement, where she said she would end the ban on constructing new Grammar Schools, it was the prevailing opinion of almost every subsequent political party. By the 1980`s most of the grammar schools throughout the United Kingdom had either closed, or converted to comprehensives. In the 1995 Labour Party Conference, the Education Spokesman David Blunkett promised that there wou ld never be an increase of selective schools under a Labour government. The history of state funded Grammar schools has its roots in the mid 1940`s. RA Butler`s 1944 education reforms mandated that every child of ability should have access to further education. As innocuous as this sounds today, it was such an important reform, because it stressed the ability of the child, over the affluence and social standing of its parents. The pertinent part of the reform here is `child of ability.` Only those children of sufficient intellect were guaranteed a place at a grammar school. The eleven plus exam was thus formed: if a child passed they would gain admittance to their local Grammar school; if they failed, they were for the local secondary modern school. As of 2016 there are only around 160 grammar schools in the United kingdom. Of course there are many private schools that have a rigorous selection procedure, but the trend for assessing and segregating children for their admittance into secondary state schools has been unpopular for many decades. Will Teresa May`s decision to permit the construction of new grammar schools be see as a progressive move? Will her decision engender further division between the rich and poor, or is she courageously addressing the issue of the UK`s failing Pisa ranking (measuring maths and reading abilities), which in 2013 publications, had the UK reaching only 23rd position, falling behind Belgium, France and Germany? 3 years ago0Add a Comment

5 math basics that will help your kid succeed in the subject - ALOHA Mind Math

5 math basics that will help your kid succeed in the subject William Velez, the associate head for undergraduate affairs in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona, emphasizes the importance of mathematics in this article. This is very true, and even where younger children are concerned, providing them with a solid foundation in math will help them a lot. Here is a look at five of the basics of math, and how they help kids: Numbers and counting: Starting with the basics, it is the knowledge of numbers that lays the foundation for handling more complex information in the world around as the child gets older. 5 math basics that will help your kid succeed in the subjectImage courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwworks/4274040778/ Collections and measurement: Grouping of data, as well as different ways of measuring data may sound like simple concepts, but we all know how important these are in any field of work as adults. When children get a clear understanding of these at a young age, they will find it much easier to handle later in life. Algebra: This is one subject that most of us would have groaned about when we were young, but the applications of recognizing patterns and solving equations will start making a lot more sense along the way. Geometry: Learning the concepts behind shapes, and using the same to solve problems in the spatial world can be a very exciting introduction for children. This not only provides a good foundation for engineering subjects later, it is also essential for basic skills such as assessing distances or reading a map. Math Operations: From the initial wonder of holding up fingers for simple addition, to discovering the wonders of multiplication and division, even kids will easily understand the practical simple applications of these operations. When they learn to calculate the value of a yearned for toy, or how to save up their pocket money to afford it, it is a simplistic view of all the more complicated operations they would need to handle as they grow up. Along with building a solid math foundation, if you are wondering how to make it more fun for your child to learn the fundamentals, do check out our math programs at ALOHA. We focus on providing the fundamentals in an interesting way, and our Abacus methodology also helps in overall brain development and improving confidence levels in your child.

The Association Method for Foreign Language Learners

The Association Method for Foreign Language Learners Mastering any foreign language inevitably requires to memorize a great number of new words and one of the main problems that each student have to solve is how to keep in mind all these unfamiliar words and their meanings. There are many memorizing techniques that can be applied to facilitate this task and one of them is the method of phonetic (sound) associations. This method is based on the idea that there are words (or parts of words) in all languages of the world that sound similar even if they have different meanings. These phonetic analogies exist in any languages whether it English, Chinese, Russian or Arabic. For example, Italian word “sei” (six) sounds like English “say”. The method of phonetic  associations  was developed by a professor of psychology Richard Chatham Atkinson at Stanford University in the early 1970s. Atkinson is widely recognized for his scientific and academic achievements. He conducted research on mathematical models of human memory and cognition and he is co-author of the theory of multi-store model of human memory. Atkinson and his colleagues carried out experiments on applying associations to the process of learning language. During this research one group of students was memorizing Russian words using the keyword method while the test group was learning the same words using conventional learning techniques. The “key words” in these experiments were the phonetic associations to the target words and the research revealed the efficiency of this method. At present the method of learning foreign languages using phonetic associations is applied all over the world. Let’s look through the main principles of this technique. The gist of the method is that it is necessary to find a consonant word to each foreign term, e.g. a word in your native language that sounds similar to the foreign term. The complete coincidence between consonant and foreign word is not needed, it is enough if just a part of the word sounds identically. After that it is necessary to think up a short semantic expression with this consonant word and the translation. This can be  any expression with this word that comes to your mind. Let us take a Russian word “????” (fish). In English word “rib” sounds similar to “????”. Now we need to think out an expression with the word “rib” and the translation “fish”. Let it be “All cats like fish ribs”. Another example, an Italian word “ragazzo” (boy). The first part of this word sounds like “rug” and the first expression that comes to my mind is “Poor boy slept on a rug”. That is all! You do not need to cram the exact translation, only your own short sentence that contains similar sounding word in English and the translation. It is recommended to keep some simple rules using this method. It is important to choose the matching words on the basis of pronunciation but not a correct spelling. Besides, do not compose long and complicated sentences, the first association that comes to your mind is the best one, even if it is silly or funny. The associations related to you personally are the most efficient. So always try to connect your associations with some events from your life. There are defenders and opponents of this method and there are many other useful memorising technics. Each person may choose the method which is the most efficient for his mind. But it is undoubtedly that properly used association method can be successfully applied not only for learning the foreign words but also in many others study tasks. It allows to simplify and speed up the process of learning which is vitally important in our rapidly changing world. That is why this memorizing method is widely used by university tutors and private teachers. The method of phonetic associations allows to enrich the student’s vocabulary and it also stimulates the development of memory and imagination.

This method is based on the idea that there are words (or parts of words) in all languages of the world that sound similar even if they have different meanings. These phonetic analogies exist in any languages whether it English, Chinese, Russian or Arabic. For example, Italian word “sei” (six) sounds like English “say”. The method of phonetic  associations  was developed by a professor of psychology Richard Chatham Atkinson at Stanford University in the early 1970s. Atkinson is widely recognized for his scientific and academic achievements. He conducted research on mathematical models of human memory and cognition and he is co-author of the theory of multi-store model of human memory. Atkinson and his colleagues carried out experiments on applying associations to the process of learning language. During this research one group of students was memorizing Russian words using the keyword method while the test group was learning the same words using conventional learning techniques. The “key words” in these experiments were the phonetic associations to the target words and the research revealed the efficiency of this method. At present the method of learning foreign languages using phonetic associations is applied all over the world. Let’s look through the main principles of this technique. The gist of the method is that it is necessary to find a consonant word to each foreign term, e.g. a word in your native language that sounds similar to the foreign term. The complete coincidence between consonant and foreign word is not needed, it is enough if just a part of the word sounds identically. After that it is necessary to think up a short semantic expression with this consonant word and the translation. This can be  any expression with this word that comes to your mind. Let us take a Russian word “????” (fish). In English word “rib” sounds similar to “????”. Now we need to think out an expression with the word “rib” and the translation “fish”. Let it be “All cats like fish ribs”. Another example, an Italian word “ragazzo” (boy). The first part of this word sounds like “rug” and the first expression that comes to my mind is “Poor boy slept on a rug”. That is all! You do not need to cram the exact translation, only your own short sentence that contains similar sounding word in English and the translation. It is recommended to keep some simple rules using this method. It is important to choose the matching words on the basis of pronunciation but not a correct spelling. Besides, do not compose long and complicated sentences, the first association that comes to your mind is the best one, even if it is silly or funny. The associations related to you personally are the most efficient. So always try to connect your associations with some events from your life. There are defenders and opponents of this method and there are many other useful memorising technics. Each person may choose the method which is the most efficient for his mind. But it is undoubtedly that properly used association method can be successfully applied not only for learning the foreign words but also in many others study tasks. It allows to simplify and speed up the process of learning which is vitally important in our rapidly changing world. That is why this memorizing method is widely used by university tutors and private teachers. The method of phonetic associations allows to enrich the student’s vocabulary and it also stimulates the development of memory and imagination.

Why Its Important to Learn So Many Things at Once

Why It's Important to Learn So Many Things at OnceAs an Arts chemistry student, you have a lot of homework to get through in your first year. While it can be easy to procrastinate, it's actually a better idea to tackle all the work when you're fresh and not worn out. Some of the more complicated subjects like algebra or calculus can make even more students look for help in order to succeed.The most common misconception is that it's a mistake to take a beginner's class. Most parents want their kids to get as much education as possible, but a beginner's class doesn't need to cover basic courses. However, if you do decide to take a class such as arts chemistry, you should go into it with the right mindset.A good professor will introduce their subject without making any assumptions about your level of knowledge. They'll also be willing to explain how much you know and what you need to do to get there. In order to be successful, you need to listen and learn, not just pay attention.While C hemistry is a difficult subject, the same can be said for many other sciences. There are multiple classes that can become quite hard, and if you happen to lack a background in the subject, there are plenty of other options for a good degree. If you plan on taking advanced college classes, choose one that focuses on one particular area.If you're already in your first year of college, you may find it easier to take an introductory class in your first year. It won't be as taxing as an advanced course, but it will get you off the ground. Make sure that you do a good job of studying before you take these classes, and get yourself a mentor to help you. Getting a good education is not about copying what you see in popular movies, but making the learning process as real as possible.If you're already working with a professor or a teacher to learn, make sure you keep the good chemistry. You can do a study guide for a course in Art's chemistry, and if you remember the different types of substa nces that can be found in the book, you'll be able to relate it to your life while studying. There are also free online guides, so make sure you check out what's available.Arts chemistry is not the easiest science, but it's not the hardest either. It's simply about learning to appreciate the subject. Working hard to understand and apply the information you're giving can be the most rewarding part of your learning experience.
