Recreational Chemistry

Recreational ChemistryRecreational Chemistry is a popular course that teaches the basic elements of chemical and biological processes. Students learn chemistry through hands-on research and experiments, in lab simulations, and in lectures on topics such as spectroscopy, equilibrium, crystal structures, and biochemistry. In fact, most of the topics of this course are designed to help students learn some basic concepts in chemistry that will translate into real-world applications.Professors introduce the various elements of chemistry, introducing the chemical elements, compounds, and atomic elements that compose each element. The student is introduced to various ways of reacting in order to form these elements, by boiling, cooling, and various other methods. Students begin to learn basic mathematics to perform many calculations, and develop the ability to use the common units of measure used in chemistry. Using real world examples, students learn more about reactions that occur at the atomic level.Classes in this course cover important topics that range from organic chemistry, to chemical biology, to polymer science. Students learn a wide variety of techniques for analyzing and measuring various properties of materials, in addition to creating new materials, such as plastics. For example, students learn to manipulate liquids by using mechanical and chemical methods. Different kinds of chemicals can be produced by mixing, colloidal reactions, and using various solvents, among other techniques.Students are introduced to more modern applications of chemistry, such as cancer detection, protein structural biology, and therapeutic drugs. Finally, students learn about environmental and health hazards, including ionizing radiation, chemical pollution, and pharmaceutical contamination.The course uses a systematic approach. Students are introduced to a variety of topics in different areas of science, without addressing each one separately. The course begins with a laborato ry section, where students participate in laboratory experiments that simulate chemical reactions. After the laboratory is completed, the students study laboratory methods used in working with liquid and solid solutions, and in experimental observations. Students learn to analyze data through theoretical and experimental methods, and learn how to make chemical reaction sequences and transformations. They also learn about experiments using acids, bases, and alkalis, and how to measure and record data. The importance of these topics is highlighted in the material that students learn through lab simulations.At the end of the course, students should be able to describe how elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur interact with each other and the elements of the periodic table. Students should be able to create and/or manipulate materials, analyze data, and prepare analytical reports.

5 tips on preparing your child for secondary school

5 tips on preparing your child for secondary school When the time comes for our child to start secondary school it can be both an exciting and terrifying time; for both the parent and the child. All of a sudden our little ones go from being young and carefree to having responsibilities; a new chapter in their lives has begun. As parents we spend time worrying about how they will manage, whether they will make friends and if they will cope with their homework. But we did the same when they started primary school for the first time; we just don't remember that far back! How would they cope without us? Would they eat properly? Would they make friends? But just as they settled into the routine of primary school, they will settle into their new 'big' school. There are of course ways to make the transition from primary to senior school smoother. Here are five ways to help your child prepare for secondary school and ensure that their new chapter begins smoothly and successfully. 1. Talk about the changes they will face One of the biggest changes your child will face is moving from the top class of the primary school to the bottom class of a secondary school. Of course it is perfectly natural for your child to feel nervous, but knowing you are there to listen to their anxieties will help them feel more secure.Their secondary school will also probably be much larger than their primary school. Explain that it is perfectly fine to take some time to get used to finding different relevant places at the school and that all of the children in their new class will be facing the same challenges. With secondary school comes more responsibility so it's a good idea to have a chat about the expectations that come with going to a bigger school. Homework will be more difficult and more often that what they are probably used to, lessons will need more concentration and they will have deadlines that they will need to stick to. Try easing them in to more responsibilities over the summer with a few extra tasks such as keeping their bedroom tidy and helping out with other chores. 2. Consider their feelings Your child will almost certainly have mixed feelings about their upcoming transition. Encourage them to talk to you about their feelings and share their concerns with you. Talk through any issues with them, whether it be about making new friends, bullying or how they will get to school. Reassure your child that their fears and apprehensions are perfectly normal and that everyone has the same worries on their first day of school. Try to be positive about any challenges they will face and talk through some solutions to help put their minds at ease. 3. Be prepared for the first day The first day of school will be filled with mixed feelings and the last thing you or your child need is to be worrying about something you haven't done or something you have forgotten to buy. Make sure you have all of their uniform ready, their sports bag full with everything they will need and their school shoes polished and ready to put on in the morning. Also, make sure their school bag is packed with the necessary stationary your child will need at their new school. Most secondary schools will expect children to have: pencil case pencils pens erasers rulers calculator geometry set It's a good idea to let your child choose their own school bag; just make sure it's ready and packed for the first morning of the new school. An early night will ensure your child is calmer when they wake up and less stressed as late nights can bring morning moodiness. Also make sure they have a good breakfast and are ready with a packed lunch or school dinner money; whichever they have chosen. 4. Encourage them to get into a routine Routine generally takes away stress so it's always a good idea to encourage a good daily routine for your child to get into. Bed time should be at a standard time every night during the school week and your child should get used to making sure they have everything ready for school from the night before. Morning routines should also be in place. Getting dressed, brushing their teeth, eating their breakfast, preparing their packed lunch, eating their daily vitamin and leaving at the correct time each morning will alleviate any stresses. The same kind of routine should also apply for after school. Your child should have a set time and place to do their homework each afternoon, time for any after-school activities and time left aside for them to relax and do what they like to do. It's a good idea to have a calendar on your fridge to remind your child of the different preparations they have to do for different days. 5. Plan the journey together With the transition from primary to secondary school comes more independence and many children starting secondary school will probably be making the journey there on their own. Of course, if you are anything like me you'll probably want to go with them on the first day just to make sure they make it there on time and are happy with their route. It is not a bad idea to go through the route a few times beforehand and talk about alternative ways to get to school should the normal way not be viable one day. Make sure the route is the safest, avoiding bigger roads where possible even if it means adding a few extra minutes to their journey. Whether they are walking, cycling or taking the bus to school make sure your child feels comfortable with their route before the first day. Most children now also have mobile phones, so make sure your child has any emergency numbers they may need already in their phone directory. Talk to your child about safe places they can go if they can't get home and who best to call should there be a problem. If they have a friend who lives nearby and goes to the same school, it may be a good idea to arrange for them to travel together. Also, if your child feels uncomfortable it may be a good idea to travel with them for the first few days until their confidence grows.

Unhealthy Habits ... Or Are They

Unhealthy Habits ... Or Are They Photo Via: http://www.healthylifegateway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/unhealthy-habits.jpg Ah, the freshman fifteen. How we all desperately try to avoid it without sacrificing our laziness, our need for unhealthy food, our drinking habits and first and foremost without having to go to the gym. Well, you’re in luck. In a world in which you’re constantly told you have “unhealthy” habits, it turns out some of those habits aren’t actually as unhealthy as you think. So, to help you get some people off your back (*cough* parents *cough*), here are seven things that may seem unhealthy, but actually aren’t according to NBC News. 1. Drinking Wine We seem to go back and forth on this issue. Wine is good for you, no wait it actually isn’t. The only consistent part of drinking wine is that we can’t seem to stop once we start. All jokes aside, it now seems that drinking wine (in moderation, unfortunately) is actually not bad for you. A study on obesity revealed that alcohol impacts weight gain, but this study only shows significant results for those that binge drink alcohol, not those that have one or two drinks a day. So in other words, having a glass of red wine with dinner doesn’t increase your risk for obesity. That being said, drinking a bottle at dinner every day definitely will. 2. Comfort Food We all love comfort food, and we all sneak it into our diets, no matter how unhealthy. But, according to nutritionists, it’s actually healthy to occasionally indulge in our comfort foods every once in a while. Basically, if you’re craving chocolate, have a small piece you don’t have to deprive yourself, but you shouldn’t binge eat chocolate for the next week either. In fact, you’re actually more likely to binge eat your favorite foods down the road if you don’t have a little bit every once in a while. And in terms of indulging your cravings, try to stay as healthy as possible. So if you sit down to a tub of cookie dough because you’re craving it, even if you only have a little, you’re not doing your body any favors. Try to opt for a healthy, similar tasting alternative whenever possible. 3. Cheat Days (in terms of Exercise) Many people believe you have to work out every day to achieve your weight-loss goals. This is true to an extent. For some, working out needs to become a habit, so if you skip a day, all your efforts can come tumbling down. However, it’s not good to work out every day. Any personal trainer will tell you, recovery time is just as important as the time you spend exercising. Of course, if you are one of those people that needs to build a habit and work out every day, you can swap your cardio workout for some intensive stretching or yoga. That way, you’re recovering while maintaining your routine. 4. Chocolate Yes, chocolate can actually be good for you (that’s right people, time to breathe a sigh of relief). No, don’t grab a Cookies and Cream Hershey’s bar. That will, unfortunately, never be good for you (though we’ll keep trying). For chocolate to be healthy, you need 70 percent (or higher) dark chocolate, and you can only eat a few squares (not a full bar). While this isn’t the ideal chocolate munching snack, you can melt it and put it in your coffee, in your milk, onto fruit, etc. Essentially, it’s a healthy seasoning for your snacking needs. 5. Stress Yes, stress can be bad. But, it can also be good. Apparently, moderate stress levels actually improve performance (while low-stress levels can diminish it). So basically, you want to be moderately stressed. Awesome. 6. Procrastination No, you shouldn’t procrastinate. However, as discussed above, some stress is a good thing. That being said, you should still take steps towards accomplishing the task as this is the most beneficial way to procrastinate. So in other words, you can put things off so long as you are thinking about them and actively taking steps to complete the task. In other words, you don’t have to clean the whole apartment today, so long as you have the cleaning supplies and you have a plan set forth for completing it. 7. Netflix Ah, last but not least, there’s our TV go-to, Netflix. Sitting is the new cancer according to countless studies, which is unfortunate, but probably true. The more time you spend sedentary, the more likely you are to encounter health problems. Watching alone at home is a great way to de-stress, so a small amount of time watching Netflix isn’t a bad thing. It’s also a strong relationship builder, so yes, Netflix and Chill is actually good for you. Go figure (sorry single people). While Netflix is not the preferred means of de-stressing, it is a beneficial one, so now you can watch a few episodes of Shameless without feeling bad about it. Or, you probably will, but it won’t be for health reasons. So start implementing these healthy vs. unhealthy practices and feel better about yourself! It’s springtime, so the time for change is now!

Lifehack 5 Tips to Easy Your Math Life

Lifehack 5 Tips to Easy Your Math Life Math is the subject unworthy being neglected in school If you have slept for all math lessons do not despair Its never too late to catch up and even surpass their peers We have collected the best mathematical techniques that can be useful in everyday life Use these 5 math lifehack tips to make your life easier: #1 How to calculate percentages quickly   The method works if both numbers end with zero Remove the last digit from number which you want to get a percentage and from percentage and multiply the resulting numbers on each other: 40% of 300 = 12% 4 ? 30 = 120  => 12% #2 Japanese Multiplication The essence of the reception is to draw straight lines and counting the intersections between them. You can read my article about Japanese Multiplication here. #3 Multiplication by 9 This rule for multiplying any number from 1 to 9 by 9 When multiplying a number by 9 subtract 1 from this number and assign a number which gives 9 when it’s combined with the first one: 3 ? 9 = 27 27 = (3-1) + (9 -(3-1)) = 2 + 7 #4 How to compare the dates and days of the week quickly Each month contains a day of the week which falls on a multiple of 7 You just need to remember in which months this day is Monday Tuesday and so on So youll remember months under the names Mondays in December or for example Thursdays in August Then you can quickly compare the dates and days of the week in the near future. Lets meet in June say the 15th of? No its Saturdays in June and thus the 15th this Sunday Ill be out of town and unavailable. #5 Butterfly Fractions To add or subtract fractions the butterfly way: 1. Write the fractions side-by-side as usual and draw two wings along the diagonals made by the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other fraction and draw an antenna on each wing. 2. As suggested by the wings that look like a multiplication sign multiply the numbers in each wing and put the product in the antenna for the wing. 3. To give your butterfly a body connect the bottom parts of the wings with a body-like loop and multiply the two denominators it connects putting the product inside the body. 4. Add or subtract the numbers in the antennae in keeping with what is being done to the fractions and put the result over the number in the body. 5. If necessary reduce or simplify the result. The butterflies above for 3/4 + 2/5 and 3/4 â€" 2/5 illustrate the procedure The only difference in subtracting the fractions versus adding them is in the last step where the numbers in the antennae are subtracted instead of added.

Human Life is an Unceasing Sequence of Single Actions

Human Life is an Unceasing Sequence of Single Actions Ludwing von Mises (1881-1973) is one of the most notable economists of the twentieth century and the foremost economist of the Austrian school of economics. Mises demonstrated that free markets, the division of labor, and private capital investment is the only possible path to the prosperity of the human race. He also showed that government intervention, in addition to hampering and crippling the market, would prove counter-productive leading inevitably to socialism. In his masterpiece Human Action Mises writes: Human life is an unceasing sequence of single actions. Acting man is eager to achieve more satisfactory state of affairs than provided by the status quo . His mind imagines conditions which suit him better, and his action aims at bringing about this desired state. With each action human climb one step on the latter of achievements; never to cease; never to yield. In case youre interested in economics I encourage you to climb that next step and become educated about economics; perhaps even with the help of one the  3000 economics tutors  at Tutorz.com.

Cell Definition Chemistry

Cell Definition ChemistryCell definition is an area of chemistry in which a solid block of matter is broken down into its constituent parts. The procedure for the separation of two substances (two isotopes) which has been well studied, and has to do with their conversion from one form to another, usually occurs when an ion exchange is performed. The molecules in the solid block, as well as the atoms or molecules that make up the block, are usually called ions.When molecules in a solid block of matter are broken down, their exchange of electrons is maintained. The ions separated are usually just a small amount of ions in comparison to the molecules. There is also the possibility of atoms being exchanged in the process, but this is extremely rare. However, if the block is long enough, and sufficiently thick, it may sometimes be possible for some atoms to change back into ions.The cell definition of the atom is a chemical equation which has the function of determining the amount of each element in a solid block of matter. The definition of the atom is based on a certain mathematical principle, and the relationship between the quantity of a substance in a solid block of matter, and the corresponding number of particles it contains. In this way, the definition of the atom is more important than what type of substance is in the solid block. The word 'atom' is actually derived from the Greek meaning 'small body' and refers to a term of scientific and physical description.Depending on the definition of the substance, the ratio of the number of atoms in a substance to the quantity of the substance contained in a solid block of matter, or an atom, is used. The term 'compound' is the most common and refers to a mixture of substances, where the quantity of substances in the mixture makes up the mass of the atom, and the atoms themselves are called atoms. When describing substances, there is always the possibility of atoms being divided into more than one substance. This is not considered true 'atomization' but is sometimes referred to as 'asymmetric atomization'.Cell definition of a substance can involve very important factors, and this involves these factors which determine the importance of the various aspects of the substance. The structure of the substance is often the key to determining its classification, and this is one of the reasons that many scientists and chemists use the structure to describe the substance. The behavior of the substance, as it is broken down, also plays a significant role in the classification of the substance.When a solid block of matter is broken down, its atom is broken down into many smaller particles, as well as one larger particle. One of the criteria used in defining the term 'atom' is the particle size, which depends on the type of material in question. Particle size depends on the chemical elements in the solid block, as well as the physical properties of the element.A cell definition of a substance is a useful t ool for understanding different types of materials and substances. Cell definition of a substance is extremely important for scientists, because they use the same information to classify and describe different substances. Cell definition of a substance is also used to give a chemical description of a substance, and this is used to describe the properties of a substance.
