Chemistry Teaching Methods

Chemistry Teaching MethodsTo study Chemistry theory you will need a comprehensive syllabus. There are many resources available to help you research and determine the best route for you. When deciding what Chemistry teaching methods you will use, you should first be sure that the type of teaching method you choose is going to be conducive to your personal learning style.As you study the physical sciences, you will learn about the properties of a substance and how to use that information to create useful products. However, this knowledge does not provide the information needed to make new chemical compounds. Chemistry is not only used in the development of medicines, but also to predict the future of a substance's behavior.Students often take various ways to learn about the composition of molecules and atoms. A person can learn all about the concepts of element formation, bonding, electrons, etc. In order to study Chemistry, you need to first study Elements. This is the first step in u nderstanding and studying different elements.Elements can be divided into one of four groups, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon. By understanding these four different types of elements, you will be better prepared to study Element Theory.Chemical properties and characteristics of different chemical compounds are the key to understanding why a substance behaves the way it does. In order to study Chemistry, you must first know how certain compounds behave.Understanding all the different elements is very important in order to understand why these elements combine together, and why certain compounds will break down. We cannot understand the combustion of a car engine without knowing why the material breaks down and how a particular compound breaks down, if we did not know how these compounds combine together and how they decompose.Due to the fact that there are many different kinds of atoms, many different elements can combine together in order to form a molecule that is used as fu el or a strong bond. You have probably heard of the periodic table, which is a very comprehensive list of all the different elements and how they are used together. While studying Chemistry, you will learn about the element Zirconium, which is not on the periodic table, but has many uses and functions in the world.Knowledge of Chemistry Theory can make a tremendous difference in your career. Many people that are in Science and Technology related fields are not able to complete their degree because they lack the knowledge necessary to pursue their studies. When looking for a career, it is imperative that you obtain the necessary knowledge and pass the necessary tests, to get the job.

8 of the Fastest Ways to Learn a Language for People on the Go

8 of the Fastest Ways to Learn a Language for People on the Go 8 of the Fastest Ways to Learn a Language for People on the Go So, you want to learn a language.Makes sense. Only good things can come from being bilingual, trilingual or straight-up poly.Theres just one problem.You cant find the time.Youve tried and tried and just cant seem to squeeze it in. Well, Im here to tell you that if theres a will, theres a way. Even the busiest of us can make  time to learn a new language.But firstâ€"theres good news and theres bad news.Lets get the bad out of the way first. Ready? Here it is: There are no shortcuts when it comes to learning a new language. You have to put in the time and the work.It can be a difficult idea to process, as weve become accustomed to instant gratification. Its understandable. Technology makes things happen faster. You probably  wouldnt even have taken the time to read this article if it took more than five seconds to load, and if youre even bothering to read this introduction, well, thank you! Most of us just jump straight to the list.Technology, however, isnt as useful when it comes to m aking our brains work faster. So, language learning has to be done the  old-fashioned way. Time and effort.You can try to rush the process. We all  want to save time and money, and  accomplish our goals  with effortless efficiency. I get it. But the irony is that if you rush, you just end up making this process longer, because when you do things half-baked,  youll eventually have to go back again  to  bake  them all the way through.But dont despair. We didnt get to the good news yet.The good news: even though you will need to carve out time, there are several ways to fit language learning into your already busy schedule without driving yourself crazy. The Principle of Fast Language Learning: Dont Kill Time, Create ItOne very commonly used phrase among busy people is, let me check my calendar.The calendar  is essentially a deity to people who have a million things to do every day. Without  it, many of us would fall into a disorganized frenzy.When you have projects to complete, lunc h meetings, dinner dates, game nights, weddings, fantasy leagues and much more to attend,  how can you also take on language learning without becoming completely overwhelmed?This is where the calendar comes in. Its your only hope for keeping track  of it all. If  learning a new language is something thats important to you, then you can make time for it by scheduling  it into your calendar.Create  a routine for yourself, and then make it stick  by writing it  into your calendar. When we  ignore this step, language learning becomes something that we can easily push aside. That nasty phrase Ill do it tomorrow will become a working part of your speech. Without a calendar to keep you honest, youll fall into a vicious cycle of procrastination.(Of course, as hard as we might try, we cant always follow our calendar exactly.  Things come up.  If  that nasty four-word phrase  does happen to work its way into your day, put a positive spin on it. Learn to say it in your target language so that itll at least be of some use to you.)If your new calendar is going to work, youll likely need to start small. No one said that you have to commit hours and hours every day  to language learning. All you need to get rolling are a few minutes.Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique? If not, its about to become your new best friend.You can get a full tutorial of the technique  on this website, but to sum it up for you, you set a timer for 25 minutes, and for those 25  minutes you  immerse yourself in your task  with no interruptions. Its great because in the entire span of a day, we can often find 25 minutes somewhere to do something that is important to us.Dont think you can? Take a look at what youre really doing with all of those hours.Maybe youd have to cut out a TV show (and cmon, DVR and streaming means youll never miss anything), or spend less time on social media (be honest, how many times per day  do you really need to look at pictures of martinis, selfies  and someone e lses vacation?).Or maybeâ€"and this may feel impossible to some peopleâ€"wake up 30 minutes earlier to give yourself a little extra time in your day. It might be tough at first, but humans are adaptable.Youll  get used to it, and youll learn to love the quiet time before the sun comes up where you can focus on doing what you love (or doing something that you dont necessarily love, but youre getting out of the way to have more time for the stuff you love later in the day).Its never going to be easy, but if you want to learn a language, itll be worth it.So, shall we?8 of the Fastest Ways to Learn a Language for People on the Go1. The 1,000 Word ChallengeHeres another  good news/bad news scenario.The good: Everyday communication doesnt require memorizing an entire dictionary. It doesnt even require half or even a quarter of it. If you aim to learn 1,000 of the most common words in your target language, youll be able to carry on some pretty cohesive conversations.Learning 1,000 words wo nt make you fluent, but those words will provide a stable foundation from which you can continue to  build. Once you start to speak with people, youll  be able to pick up new words and phrases, make connections and recognize grammatical patterns.The bad: You have to learn 1,000 words. To people with little to no spare time, or at least people who feel like they have no spare time, learning 1,000 words  might sound like an uphill battle.  It doesnt have to be, though.Just do it in pieces.Commit to learning at least 20 words per day. Schedule this into your calendar, and within two months, youll have memorized 1,000 words. If youre ambitious, go for 30, 40 or 50 words. Carve out 30 minutes whenever you can. It doesnt even have to be consecutive. You can break it up and squeeze in five minutes at a time. Just get the words in any way you can.If you need some tips as to how to get this accomplished, keep reading.2. The Sticky Note  TakeoverFor busy language learners, sticky notes  are e verything.The trick here is to put them everywhere you possibly can. If it has a surface, stick a note  on it.For example, if youre learning Spanish, grab a sticky note, write the word la pared on it, and then stick it on a wall that you pass by every day. Now, every time you pass that wall youll remember that the word for wall is la pared. Do that with everything: your bookshelf, sink, dishwasher, milk, coat rack and anything else you have at your place. You get the point.These daily reminders will keep the words fresh in your mind. Eventually, youll get to the point where you wont need the sticky notes  anymore. Youll just know the words. You can take this a step further and put the sticky notes on your private workspace at the office.Vocabulary Stickers will give you a running start. They offer durable, color-coded sticker sets in various languages that (literally) cover common items in your home and office and save busy people like you the time and hassle of making labels on you r own.You can go even further than that and change the language on your ATM card at the bank, so that your transactions will be in your target language. Maybe change the  language on your phone if youre feeling bold, or maybe on certain apps that you already know really well, if thats an option. Its all about immersion.Whats great is that  this method  takes little to  no time (once youve labeled everything and/or changed the languages on your devices). All youve done is optimized your daily routine.So give it a shot. See how much you learn with a minimal time commitment.3. Entertain YourselfFor people who are in the intermediate stages of learning a language, entertainment is one of the easiest and most fun ways to immerse yourself. Theres so much content out there nowadays that theres something for everyone.Get your favorite book or movieâ€"and if youre in the intermediate stage, its important that its a favoriteâ€"and then read  the book or watch the movie in  your target languag e. When its  a story you know well, youll get much more out of it.  Youre not going to  understand every single word, but youll learn more than you wont understand.Your memory of the story and context will guide you and youll pick up a ton of new words and phrases. Even though you wont understand 100 percent of the story, you wont feel the frustration of missing out, because youre already familiar with it.This is crucial in getting you through to the end so you wont throw away the opportunity to expand your knowledge base.4. The Techie TangoFor better or worse, were attached to our devices. Our phones, tablets and laptops pretty much serve any need we can think of, short of physically feeding us and getting us dressed in the morning. So, why wouldnt we use technology for our language learning needs?The answer: We already do.There are so many language learning resources available for download, a person can spend weeks just sifting through the options. Its a good problem to have, but it can be overwhelming. We know youre busy, so well save you some time: heres where you can find  apps, podcasts, online tools and videos  to  get learning with your device.These options are great for people with tight schedules, because theyre good on the go. For example, with the  FluentU  app, you can learn new language skills from real-world videos while youre on the train, in a waiting room or wherever you can get Wi-Fi. Its a burst of target language immersion, available  any time.Make sure you free up some space on your device and start downloading your way to fluency.5. A Rendez-vous for TwoDIY language learning doesnt always cut it for some people. Thats okay. You can never go wrong with one-on-one interaction or instruction. In fact, you can only go right. Finding a private tutor is a great way to enhance your language skills. Youll get a tailored approach to language learning from  a knowledgeable instructor.At first glance, getting a private tutor might seem like the com plete opposite of  an efficient solution, but  its actually perfect for busy people. Unlike a class that meets at a set time, with a private tutor, youll have more flexibility to set your schedule. If a last-minute meeting pops up, you can reschedule with your tutor, or if your schedule opens up,  you can squeeze more sessions in.Youll also probably have more flexibility in terms of location. You can meet in a coffee shop, a classroom or save time traveling and use video chat.Dont know where to start looking for a tutor? WyzAnt is a great choice for finding a tutor to meet up with in your area, while Verbling is one of the top options for online tutoring.On top of that, a tutor will be able to point out your strengths and weaknesses so youll have tailored sessions that focus specifically on what you need. Thats the epitome of efficiency and every busy language learners dream.6. The Buddy SystemRemember that from grade school? Our teachers made us hold hands with a partner for the sa ke of accountability. The logic here is the same. Youll have someone to hold your hand, so you dont stray too far while trying to get to your final destination.The main difference between a buddy and an online tutor is money. You dont have to pay a buddy (I really  hope you dont pay for buddies). This relationship is supposed to be mutually beneficial. They help you with their target language and you help them with English or any of the other languages you may know.The great thing about a buddy is that theyre always with you, and  I dont mean in a creepy, hovering, stalker way. If youre learning German but located in North America, for example, theres a good chance that youll find your buddy online. Once that happens youll  be able to stay in touch easily, whenever you and your buddy have time, via the internet.Our smart phones keep us connected even when were not sitting at our laptops, and you can text your buddy as casually as you would any other friend with Skype, WhatsApp or an y social media platform with private messaging. Its a great way to incorporate your target language into your everyday life.To save you some time, here are some websites to get you started in finding that special someone: Speaky, WeSpeke, InterPals, Ayni, Conversation Exchange.7. Have a Few DrinksNo argument here, I  bet.For many busy people, the happy hour scene is an absolute must. After a long day, most of us want to take the edge off, and a cocktail or two usually does the trick. Dont misinterpret this though. Getting trashed wont  help you speak fluent Mandarin (not by itself, anywayâ€"more on that  in a bit).Language learning  groups love to meet in bars.  Try swapping  out a few of your regular happy hour hot spots and  find a group on Meetup that does happy hour. Theres no shortage of them.Or try Mundo Lingo. This is an international group that does weekly happy hours around the world. People meet in bars and wear flag stickers to show what languages they speak, placing thei r strongest language at the top. Click cities in the upper right-hand corner to find events near you. Check out this video at a Lima  group event to get a feel for what its like.Whether its Meetup, Mundo Lingo or another group you happen upon, take a few  days out of the week to  make your happy hour productive. Its  an easy way to fit language learning in without having to sacrifice other things. It may be a little nerve-racking at first, especially because its new, but after a few trips (and a few drinks) youll loosen up and itll simply become a regular part of your schedule.Now, back to getting trashed  and speaking Mandarin.Again, alcohol isnt a magic elixir thatll endow extra language absorption powers on you. If only. However, they dont call  alcohol liquid courage for no reason. Many of us can read, listen and answer questions on apps all day, but when it actually comes to speaking, we clam up.This is where the drinks come in.  Alcohol  is the ultimate clam shucker. Itll help you let go of all that self-consciousness and judgment and get you speaking freely.  Obviously, dont drink so much that youre slurring and blacking out, but if you need to loosen up, throw a few back and youll start chatting without even thinking about it.8. Haaave you met TED?Barney Stinson had the right idea. You need some TED in your life. TED Talks are a language learners dream, especially language learners who are short on time.Youll find a TED talk in nearly any language you want with a quick YouTube search, and the videos  are relatively short. You can even find  TED talks that are under ten minutes long.Many TED talks have subtitles, which is an added bonus for language learners, but if one  doesnt  you can look at the transcript.  Just click More and youll see Transcript in the drop-down menu. Since the speakers generally arent  talking about language learning, but speaking freely in their native language about a specific topic, TED talks are probably ideal for intermediat e level students and above (but if youre an ambitious beginner, go for it!).Whats also wonderful is the flexibility. You can listen to a TED talk  while  on the move. Whether its your commute to work, your lunch break or just a Saturday morning lounging around the house, you can find time to listen anywhere.If for some reason you really hate TED talks (some people just cant stand lectures) theres an option on YouTube called Easy Languages that serves a similar function. The difference is that youll be listening to random street interviews as opposed to a lecture. Most of the videos are under ten minutes and there are subtitles in both  English and the  target language  as this YouTube  channel caters specifically to language learners.With these helpful tips, youll definitely be able to make this work. So, go ahead and be efficient. Dont waste any more time!

Organic Chemistry Tutors

Organic Chemistry TutorsWhen you go to a chemistry tutor you want to be able to get an idea of what you will be studying and what questions will need to be answered. The chemistry tutor you are dealing with in organic chemistry should be able to give you information about the subject you are considering so that you can decide which one is right for you.You want to start by asking your organic chemistry tutor how strong acids vs weak acids they recommend for you. It is not important that you need to be comfortable with the answer, just that they were confident enough to give it to you. They may have studied this question or know of someone who has studied it and also told you the best way to go about this.If you do not feel comfortable with the answer, you should ask them why they recommend the strength of acids as opposed to weak acids. You may have problems with your stomach, allergies, or are just unsure of what you may need to do when starting out. You can ask your organic chemist ry tutor if they would recommend you get tested for any kind of allergy before going into the lab.When you ask your organic chemistry tutor how strong acids vs weak acids they recommend they should give you a list of all the acid salts that they recommend. This list should contain: hydrochloric, phosphoric, potassium, sodium, sulfuric, and carbonic. Each of these acids is good at dealing with different things.If you decide that strong acids vs weak acids are your best option then you can determine which one of the acids your chemistry tutor recommends. If they recommend potassium, phosphoric, or sulfuric then you may need to have these on hand. However, if they recommend the strong acids you will probably not need to have any of these on hand.If you are interested in stronger acids than the one recommended by your organic chemistry tutor you will need to have those acids on hand and then set up a test of it. Keep in mind that when you test something, you don't just do a test. You sh ould use this time to prepare for the real test and get better at handling certain situations.You should ask your organic chemistry tutor if they suggest you test a solution that contains each acid instead of all at once. Your organic chemistry tutor will be very honest with you and will tell you that they will not recommend something that has more than one acid present. However, in the interest of saving time you may decide to test a solution that only has one acid.

Organic Chemistry Tutor

Organic Chemistry TutorIf you are seeking a solution to improve your science grades, the first thing you need to do is find an organic chemistry tutor YouTube channel. This technique of learning has been around for some time and has even been used by some great scientists throughout history. While it is likely that your school will not offer online tutoring sessions or a tutor online, you can still find a good science tutor on YouTube. This is because they have a lot of experience and know how to keep your interests at the forefront of their teaching sessions.When looking for an organic chemistry tutor, you will want to make sure that you find one who is willing to put their ideas and opinions on the screen. This means that they will most likely be promoting products that they believe in. Often times, they will teach what is best for your current career. If you are studying a particular subject, they may promote a certain supplement or treatment that they have found to work very well for other people. This can actually help you with your goal of improving your science grades.It is important to understand that there are actually two different things that can cause your science grades to suffer. The first thing is if you don't want to take supplements or treatments. The second is if you are taking a substance that isn't natural. Some organic chemistry tutor videos may advocate taking in a supplement or treatment, while others may only recommend natural supplements that are proven to work very well for their students.A good organic chemistry tutor will offer a mix of both. You will probably find videos that will talk about the benefits of supplementing with these natural remedies as well as those that are created from natural products. There will also be those that go over the side effects that you may get from taking natural supplements.The key to finding an organic chemistry tutor that is going to be successful is to find a video that promotes both methods. Ther e are those that don't advocate supplements at all, but will talk about the proven effectiveness of natural remedies. There are those that only promote natural supplements that have shown to be effective when used in combination with other natural substances. This ensures that you get the best of both worlds.You can also find videos that will talk about a particular compound and explain how it will improve your science grades. This might mean the addition of a specific element to your diet. It could even mean that you will experience a weight loss.The key to finding an organic chemistry tutor is to find one that offers you both. The more you are exposed to this information, the better chance you have of making a positive impact on your grades.

Calculus Problem Solver

Calculus Problem Solver Calculus Problem Solver is the tool to solve the calculus problem specially the problems related to differential calculus problems and integral calculus problems. This tool uses the well defined formulas of differential calculus and integral calculus. Based on the formulas the evaluation of differential calculus and integral calculation can be done in a very shorter period of time. Not only this, this tool is used to solve the complex equations in an easy manner. This can be more under stable by taking the relevant examples below. Example 1:- Find the derivative of the function y, if y = 4x3 Solution 1:- Given function is y = 4x3 To find: - d/dx 4x3 We know that, d/dx (cxn) = c ( nxn-1) Therefore, d/dx 4x3= 4 d/dx (x3) So d/dx 4x3= 4.(3 x3-1) Therefore, d/dx 4x3= 12 x2 Hence d/dx 4x3= 12 x2. This is the differential calculus problem solver. Here we have solved one important part of calculus which is known as differential calculus. Example 2:- Find the integration of x2 + x4 dx Solution 2:- Given function are x2 + x4 Here we have to find the integration of x2 + x4. Now we know that,xn.dx = xn+1/ n+1 + c, Here c is constant of integration Therefore, x2 + x4 dx = x2+1/2+1+ x4+1/4+1 + c So the integration of x2 + x4 dx = x3/3 + x5/5 + c, Here c is constant of integration. And in this example we have found the result of important part of calculus that is known as integral calculus

Should I Go To University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Should I Go To University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Amanda is a Chicago tutor specializing in Anatomy tutoring, Biology tutoring, Essay Editing tutoring, and more. She is currently a senior at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign majoring in Animal Sciences. Check out her review of her school: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Amanda: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is a large public university in a surprisingly urban setting. The areas surrounding Chambana are rural, but there is never a dull moment on campus because there are always events taking place. Ive walked alone on campus at all times of day and night, and I have never once felt unsafe. University police are always patrolling the streets, and the University of Illinois runs two free programs that ensure students are safe 24/7SafeWalks and SafeRides. SafeWalks is for anyone who does not want to walk alone in the campus area, and SafeRides is for an individual who needs a ride home. There are plenty of buses running daily that can get you anywhere on- or off-campus. They are included in tuition so students do not even need to pay when using them. UIUC also has one of the highest-rated bike routes in the country. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Amanda: For a large public university, I am shocked at how easy it is to find educational help. Whether it be via email or in-person, there is always someone available to answer questions. I actually have found that the larger the class size, the easier it is to be in contact with the professor. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Amanda: I have not lived in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign dorms, but I can say that socialization opportunities are never a problem. There are over 1,000 clubs throughout the university and the dorms are all located within walking (or biking) distance from the main quad. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Amanda: I would say that the best represented and supported program here at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the engineering program, and thats because it is one of the best in the country. I chose to study Animal Sciences (also rated highly) because I originally came here thinking that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I believe that the university went above and beyond in supporting the Animal Sciences program. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Amanda: I transferred into the university as a junior, and it was super easy to meet people. It is almost impossible not to meet people you like considering the campus has more than 40,000 students. Greek life does play a significant role in the campus social life, but I am not affiliated with it. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Amanda: The Career Center is very helpful and has actually helped me receive multiple interviews and internships with large corporations and government entities. I highly recommend taking advantage of their free classes and sessions. The staff is more than willing to help adjust your resume and cover letters. There are multiple job fairs that take place throughout the year and many companies come to the university to recruit students. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Amanda: There are multiple libraries throughout the campus. Most are open seven days a week and some are even open 24 hours a day. They are only overcrowded during finals week, but you can still find a spot to study if you bring your own laptop. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Amanda: Outside of campus, it is mainly rural. There are some urban areas, such as downtown Champaign and downtown Urbana. There are a lot of great bars, restaurants, and shops that many students go to (particularly those over 21 years old). For those who are not too involved with the party scene and want less expensive rent, those areas are definitely the best places to live. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Amanda: The student body is large, reaching almost 45,000. My class sizes have varied dramatically. Some of my classes have had as few as eight students and as many as 500 students. Just depends on demand, really. I would say that the majority of classes range from 25-40 students, however. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Amanda: My most memorable experience at UIUC would be taking part in the study abroad program. I was able to go to Costa Rica for a month and research howler monkeys in the rainforest!
