Chemistry of Life Vocabulary Practice

Chemistry of Life Vocabulary PracticeFor those who are trying to develop a strong chemistry of life vocabulary, it is critical that you understand how the words you hear and read in textbooks and newspapers work. Not only can you learn vocabulary words by association, but you will be able to use them to spell them out when speaking.The first thing to remember is that your vocabulary is not fixed. Your vocabulary will expand and contract over time as you learn new information and grow. This means that once you are comfortable with a certain word, the next time you use it, you will be more comfortable.Once you are comfortable with the vocabulary you have chosen, you can use this word more than once. You may come across a word, particularly if you are writing or speaking, that you do not use often. It is a good idea to bring this word up to review when you are reading or writing.During chemistry of life vocabulary practice, you should practice using a word a few times a day until you fe el comfortable with it. This can be done by hearing the word for a few seconds, repeating it to yourself, then repeating it to someone else. Do this for five minutes or so and then use it again, using a different person or reference to indicate that you heard or read it.The next step is to check it out, using that person, for the rest of the day. After checking out the word or two, take a little time and practice it out with that person several times. As you use it with that person, let that person know that you heard them or read them and that you will be using it again tomorrow. This will help reinforce that you heard or read that word and that it is a good word.One of the best ways to add to your chemistry of life vocabulary practice is to take a look at how people use words. This may mean talking to a friend or asking a student for their opinion. Many times, we all speak, think and write in a language that is unfamiliar to us.Chemistry of life vocabulary practice can help you bu ild vocabulary that will serve you well for years to come. By taking a few minutes to visit online dictionaries with information on common words, you will soon discover a wide variety of vocabulary words. Make the most of these words by learning their history, their pronunciation, and their meaning in everyday life.

Finding a Site to Download the AutoCAD Program

Finding a Site to Download the AutoCAD Program Where to  Find  AutoCAD   ChaptersA Brief Description of AutoCADWhat Are Some of the Benefits of Using AutoCAD?Where to Find AutoCAD“This is a software-powered world.” â€" Satya Nadella  The days  of textbooks, libraries, and encyclopedias are long gone.  Software systems have revolutionised  how things are learnt and done?in the workplace, at home, and in education.  Famous software developers such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates have made billions of US dollars developing modern-day systems that are used daily such as Facebook and Microsoft. Their inventions have made communication and access to knowledge more obtainable than ever before.  But what about technology and software systems in the workplace, has it really changed??  The developments in modern-day technology have skyrocketed since the 90s and employers and businesses have  welcomed the?efficiency of user-friendly software.  For professionals working in technical fields such as electricity, architecture, and graphic design a software system that was developed in the 80s is a  godsend.?  Which software is that??  AutoCAD. A computer-aided design software application that has been improved each year since its release in December 1982, AutoCAD has transformed the way technical projects are conducted.  In today’s article, we will briefly discuss  AutoCAD  and some of its features, such as rendering, prototyping, 3D modelling,  geometry sketch  creation,  and  building design.    AutoCAD  is  produced by  Autodesk, and users can create both 2D and 3D drawings that are used in construction and manufacturing.  AutoCAD is  compatible with both Microsoft and Mac products.  AutoCAD is  utilised  in the  mechanical, telecom, civil, and architectural engineering  fields. It is a  specialized piece of  software  and requires  time to  learn.  AutoCAD is used and  appreciated by professionals  to increase overall productivity, to improve the quality of the design, to create a database for manufacturing, and to improve communicatio n through documentation.  Before this software came into existence, engineers used drafters and sheets to draw designs of a product which was very time consuming, and to make matters worse, if the drawer or designer messed up and drafted a blueprint that was unsatisfactory to the client,  they had to start again from scratch.  Blueprints  to manufacture  engine valves and engine parts  are some of the most common?things created with AutoCAD. The fact that  AutoCAD  can be easily accessed from one portable computer to another makes it easier for all members of the design team to review or fix any potential issues before the manufacturing and assembling  process.  What Are Some of the Benefits of Using AutoCAD?Since there are pros and cons to everything in life, the following are some of the benefits of using AutoCAD in daily life:Users can create an impressively accurate CAD drawing or design;  The plans and drawings can be either in 2D or 3D format and can be rotated to get a better view of the finished product;  Other indispensable computer programs or software can be linked and used simultaneously to design and draw on the AutoCAD system;  AutoCAD  has introduced  features  to create, edit, and adjust  3D designs and 3D models  before the printing process;  Are you a designer looking to create your next masterpiece? Look no further because the AutoCAD program helps those working in the fashion industry with the design process when creating new  jewellery, dresses, or other top fashion sketches that will rule the runways come fashion week in the fall;  Architects love using the AutoCAD software to design, plan, execute, and test the strength of a building before the construction phase has started; highly recommended for budding architects looking to acquire  and complete the best building designs available in the world of architecture;  Industrial engineers face  pressure to design  objects that reduce manufacturing costs.  AutoCAD  accomplishes this task by replacing the long hours of manual designing. Also,  AutoCAD  allows  industrial engineers  to  thoroughly  analyse  sketches and troubleshoot potential issues before production.  When using AutoCAD software, users will praise its overall efficiency and practicality; before its utilisation, regular tasks were far more complicated.But, where does one find AutoCAD software for download?  Where to Find AutoCADAutoCAD software can be downloaded on Windows or Mac. (Source: Unsplash)While there are many different online resources that offer the AutoCAD software, the following are the best and help users start drafting and drawing ASAP:  Autodesk (UK):?Subscribe for a 3-year term and save 10% on AutoCAD.  Click here to purchase.  Autodesk (Australia):?Subscribe for a 3-year term and save 10% on AutoCAD.  Click here to purchase.Easy as pie, effectively setting up an account and downloading the AutoCAD software is a brilliant idea for professionals working in technical fields.

Volunteering at Pimlico Academy - Jessicas Story

Volunteering at Pimlico Academy - Jessica's Story I noticed tutor training being advertised on Tutorfair’s website, and as I wanted to gain more experience within the English school system I decided to attend the event. The training day was a full 8 hour long day. I learnt lots of different things throughout the day, but my main takeaways were the session on how to organize a lesson, and advice on the what to do if there was a case of child abuse, how to spot it, and my role as a childcare protector â€" which is different to the Spanish Education system. After I sorted out my DBS, I started at Pimlico Academy at the end of November, volunteering as a Spanish teaching assistant. I was warmly welcomed into the class as they were thankful to have some extra help, especially as I am Spanish! I soon grew very close to my students, I recognized where they were struggling and I helped push them to try their best as I could see their potential. The class teacher asked me to focus on helping the class improve fluency when speaking Spanish. A few of the students were a bit anxious at the beginning, I often heard “But I can’t speak Spanish” “I’m no good at Spanish!” when I heard this I told those students “I understand what you are going through as it’s hard for me too! I’m still learning English and picking up new things every day. It just takes time and lots of practice.” As I empathized with my students, and related to their daunting experience, it encouraged them to take more risks and they began speaking with more fluency. If they didn’t know a particular word or got a bit stuck, they knew they could just ask me! There was a particular student who caught my attention. She never wanted to participate in lessons and often complained of having a headache. I recognized that she was just feeling unsure of herself and her ability. I soon won her over, her confidence grew and she now actively takes part in Spanish lessons and looks as though she is enjoying herself. Another of my students confided that although she was great at Spanish last year, she felt as though she had forgotten everything over the summer and felt behind. With this little bit of one on one time in class, I was able to refresh her knowledge and get her up to speed. In my opinion her level is now much higher than the previous year. Most of the questions I was asked were based around vocabulary and grammar, and for this reason I tried to teach them lots of new verbs and new words in a fun and easy way! The Tutorfair volunteer experience was well worth while. I learnt more about the British school system, and I have walked away feeling more confident about my ability as a teacher and my teaching style. If you take part in the volunteer program you’ll receive an observation when teaching. Thanks to Felicity (my observer) who pointed out a few areas in which I could improve. Her advice has been invaluable to me, especially as I am just starting my career. The school and class teachers really appreciate the help I offered. They recognize how valuable it is for their students to be able to ask questions in class without holding up the rest of their peers. By Christmas I felt as though my class and I had developed a really close relationship. I am sure our bond will only grow stronger as we all get to know each other more over the next term. I really enjoy volunteering at Pimlico Academy, my favorite moment with my students was when they asked me where I had bought my jumper (which features a little dog on the front!). Even though this was a brief and possibly a trivial moment, it is these instances when you feel accepted and it showed me that they were interested in me as a person not just seeing me as their teaching assistant.

Chicago Math Tutoring Program Delivers Big Changes

Chicago Math Tutoring Program Delivers Big Changes Chicago Math Tutoring Program Delivers Big Changes Chicago Math Tutoring Program Delivers Big Changes March 23, 2015 At Edwin G. Foreman High School in Chicago earlier this year, Avery Huberts watched as Christophir Rangel and Iann Trigveros worked on a math problem. Photo by Whitten Sabbatini for The New York Times If you have ever questioned whether individualized, intensive tutoring and positive relationships can make a difference, Match Educations ground-breaking program in Chicago is more proof that its absolutely possible. A column in The New York Times spotlighted some of the incredible results achieved by the math program for 1,300 students in 12 public high schools. Developed by Match Education in Boston, which seeks to correct the “mismatch” in academic preparedness common among minority students in impoverished areas, the program provides two-on-one math tutoring for hour-long sessions every day. In the first year, on average, students who received Match tutoring and mentoring increased their math learning gains by 1 to 2 years more than the control group, and their test scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress math exam reduced the black-white test score gap by a third. Furthermore, the tutoring also reduced math course failure rates by 50%, and overall course failure rates by 25%. By helping students in math every day, tutors are building students confidence so they are less likely to fail other classes or drop out of school, and also less likely to be arrested for violent crimes. According to the programs executive director Barbara Algarin, These students can make remarkable progress when they appreciate that their tutor is in their corner. The math connection leads to better study skills and a love of learning. Grades improve across the board. This column cites an issue that both HEART and Match address: It is difficult for teachers alone to provide the amount of individualized attention needed by students who are performing multiple years below grade level in math. Teachers must go back and re-teach a variety of critical math skills that were missed in previous years before their students can comprehend grade-level content. “Just a few years of this type of intervention could bring almost all students up to grade level,” said Jens Ludwig, a professor of social service administration at the University of Chicago and the director of its Crime Lab, in the New York Times report. “By then they can benefit from what’s being taught in regular classes and have real hope for a high school diploma.” This column also states that “American parents spend $7 billion annually on tutoring, in some cases as much as $400 an hour.” Match offers a relatively cheap solution: tutors earn $16,000 per year. To Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who plans to expand the program, the lesson is plain. “What this shows is, don’t ever throw the towel in on the kids,” the mayor said.

Research Tips for High Schoolers

Research Tips for High Schoolers Notes from a 21st Century Librarian: How to do Research As a high school student, you are required to do a great deal of research. This trend will only continue when you enter your first year of college. Each generation has been responsible for finding information, facts, and appropriate sources; however, the 21st-century has made research both easier and more difficult. Today’s students can easily ask their iPad a question and receive an answer almost instantaneously. Nearly everything can be Googled, putting important information at your fingertips. Students of yesteryear had to actually drive to a library, look up the name of a particular book and take it home for up to a week. Libraries are still a very important part of modern literacy and research, however most students use a virtual library for academic assignments (READ: Best Libraries in South Orange County For Studying).                   Many of your teachers and tutors went to high school prior to the advent of todays technological convenience. In a way, this puts them at a great advantage. People who learned how to do research the old fashioned way also learned which sources were valid and which were not. They grew along with the power of the Internet and can utilize it today while easily figuring out which answers are legitimate and well-documented and which sources should be entirely ignored. Although todays students have the advantage of these wonderful technologies, it’s important to know how to do research in a 21st-century virtual library (READ: The Students Guide to Study Breaks). 1.   Look for the lock symbol on websites Some websites have been legitimized and approved to display a neon green lock symbol. Students should strive to use sources and conduct research on these sites. Of course, there are some perfectly valid and useful sites that students can use that do not contain this symbol. It’s important to work with a teacher or tutor to learn how to find appropriate sources prior to leaving for college. 2. Look for the HTTP:// Websites that have the HTTP:// at the beginning of the website are usually valid in some respect.   Most of us dont look for these series of characters anymore but it’s important to check if theyre there. Remember, just about anybody can put just about anything on the Internet and so it’s important to think about what you should be researching and what is simply a distraction. 3. Balance your sources When studying current events or the news, it is important to show both sides of the story. Very few current events sources are completely unbiased. They are written by human beings after all. If you are studying a controversial topic, make sure to research and cite sources from both ends of the spectrum. Of course, you can (and should) form your own opinion but it’s crucial to demonstrate that you researched both sides before forming the opinion that you hold. 4. Show adequate support for your argument If you are doing online research for an argumentative essay, it’s important to cite several different sources in order to demonstrate that your research is comprehensive and complete. For example, if you have cited three articles but they are all from the same source, (PBS, NBC News, etc…) you are really only citing three subsets of one larger source. Research students are graded heavily on their ability to appropriately support their argument. Without adequate support the thesis remains a stated claim. 5. Do not rely on another’s work Remember, anybody can put anything on the Internet. Teachers, students, researchers, professors, editors, writers and scholars all post information to the Internet. It’s never a good idea to rely on somebodys work unless they have third-party recognition. Third-party recognition means that the information has been fact checked, edited, and published by a respected source (READ: A Letter to My High School Self). Anything else is simply somebodys opinion and may or may not be historically correct, well researched, or edited for content. Always do your own research and form your own opinion even if you find easy information online.   Youll be happy later that you did.

Do you feel like a Black Hole

Do you feel like a Black Hole Do you also feel these January days to be dark and cold? The joyful times of the holidays are gone; were swamped with an infinitely high work-load or face impossible odds at upcoming finals. Relationships with friends, co-workers or even your spouse seems to spin around going through the motions of connection distance reconnection and so forth. To sum it up in two words: You have landed in a black hole. The now past holiday season movie Interstellar brought the concept of black holes onto the screens of movie theaters and thus into our heads. There is some mysticism about black holes and quippy remakes like mine introducing this article, but what is a black whole really? Black holes are like onions made up of 3 layers. The outer layer is called the Outer Event Horizon. Within the Outer Event Horizon you would still be able to escape from a black holes gravity because the gravity is not as strong here. The middle layer of a black hole is called the Inner Event Horizon. If you didnt escape the black holes gravity before you entered the Inner Event Horizon, then you have missed your chance to escape. The gravity in this layer is much stronger and does not let go of objects it captures. At this point you would begin to fall towards the center of the black hole. The center of a black hole is called the Singularity. The Singularity is where the black holes gravity is the strongest. In fact, the gravitation is infinitely strong there. Some scientist believe the singularity is actually another universe, thus a black hole is a doorway to another strange world. As Einstein showed time is intrinsically connected with space thus black holes are also time machines. If this is all starting to appear too far fechted I recommend you to consult our physics and star-tutor Bruce Allan Marin (Professor BAM) of Brooklyn, NY. Remember what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

What is involved in the Year 6 SATs

What is involved in the Year 6 SATs The Key stage 2 SAT's are given to help both teachers and parents understand how well a child is doing compared to their peers and better understand their strengths and weaknesses. The SAT's are compulsory for all seven year old children (Key Stage 1) and all eleven year old children (Key Stage 2). The results of the Year 6 SAT's are used to measure how a child has improved from Key Stage 1 and even what kind of results they may expect from their GCSE's. What are the Key Stage 2 SAT's? Children are assessed and tested on what they have been learning at school and the tests are based on material from the curriculum. The 2016 SAT's have been reviewed and children that started Year 6 in September 2015 will be the first to take these new style tests. The changes include tests that are now based on actual topics learnt and more content based questions rather that just exploring a child's general ability. Also there will now be a new grammar, punctuation and spelling test which was not included in the past. The Year 6 SAT's have become more challenging with more focus on English and writing skills than before. When will the Year 6 SAT's take place? Children at the end of Year 6 will take the official SAT's in the week commencing 9th May 2016. The tests will take place as follows: Monday 9th May 2016 - English reading test: reading booklet and associated answer booklet. Tuesday 10th May 2016 - English grammar, punctuation and spelling test. Paper 1: short answer questions. Paper 2: spelling Wednesday 11th May 2016 - Mathematics Paper 1: arithmetic test Paper 2: reasoning Thursday 12th May 2016 - Mathematics Paper 3: reasoning The weeks commencing 6th and 13th of June will be the science sampling test period although not all children will sit the science tests as only a number of schools are required to take part. For the children that will take these tests they will include: Physics Biology Chemistry All three science papers will take 25 minutes each. How are the Year 6 SAT's structured? The new Year 6 SAT's will now reflect the new curriculum and are set to be more difficult than past SAT papers. Key stage 2 children will sit tests in: Reading Spelling, punctuation and grammar Maths And the science papers (which as we mentioned before will not be compulsory for all children). Let's take a quick look at how these will be broken down: Key stage 2 - Reading The Year 6 reading test will be questions based on three passages of text. The children will have one hour to complete the test (including reading time). The test will include a selection of different questions types including things such as finding and copying a word that describes something in the story and numbering events that have happened in the passage to show the order in which they have occurred. Key stage 2 - Spelling, punctuation and grammar This test is made up of two parts: Grammar and punctuation paper - this will include questions such as identifying adjectives within a sentence and correct sentences that have missing punctuation. The children will be given 45 minutes to complete this test. Spelling Test - This is an aural test consisting of 20 words that will last for approximately 15 minutes. Key stage 2 - Maths The Year 6 Maths test will consist of three papers: Paper 1 - Arithmetic: where the child will need to answer questions that include multiplication and long division. Children will be given 30 minutes to complete this test.

Tick one of the following to show why we need a digestive system: a) To control how the body moves. b) To break down food for the body to absorb. c) To give support to the body. d) To transport blood around the body. 2. Fossils can give a lot of information about animals that lived in the past. Write true or false for each of the following statements about the pliosaur fossil: The pliosaur fossil could give us information about: a) how long ago the animal lived. b) what the animal ate. c) what the animal smelt like. d) what colour the animal's eyes were. e) how large the animal was. Source: SATs Papers What type of results can you expect? Children will be given a score based on the actual marks they get in the tests and will also receive scaled scores to show whether they have reached the national average. The minimum expected level for the end of Year 6 is a level 4 with a level 3 being below expectations and a level 5 above expectations. The SAT's are far more formal than those taken for key stage 1 and the papers are sent away to be marked. Results will be available for parents to collect before your child leaves primary school in July. To conclude The Year 6 SAT's are now tougher than ever before so helping your child prepare for these tests will not only build their confidence but ensure that they know what to expect. There are plenty of free resources on the internet and the help of a home tutor can also be an excellent way to help your child prepare.

Chemistry Placement Test Review

Chemistry Placement Test ReviewWhen I was in college, I had a test I took in chemistry that was dreaded by many students. That test was the AP Chemistry Placement Test, and although it is not the most difficult exam to get an A in, it is not exactly the easiest one to get an A+ in either. Not surprisingly, many students find it intimidating, while others have already studied all they can about chemistry and are confident they know what they are doing with that test.Chemicals react in chemical reactions in order to give us food, clothing, electricity, water, and other useful items.
