General Chemistry Formula Sheet

General Chemistry Formula SheetThe general chemistry formula sheet is an easy way to solve problems. In school chemistry, many students are asked to come up with a chemistry formula sheet and tell their instructor which of the formulas they have drawn is the right one. This is because it is an important part of a laboratory and it is very important to show your work. It helps you understand the different parts of the chemical equation that are involved in solving a problem.The chemistry formula sheet is just like a big recipe book for chemistry. It comes with a table and figures and information on the four elements of the periodic table. There are also symbols for the elements and methods of solving different kinds of problems. This sheet of paper is easy to print and makes it easy for you to make it for you. You can also use this to teach others, so it is very useful.One can also write their own general chemistry formula sheet as a term paper. If you have done well in school, you co uld make a special edition of your sheet to teach the next class. Even though this sheet is easy to use, it can take some time to print if you need to put in more than one sheet. Another thing that makes this sheet great is that the student can put their notation on it. They can write their own notes, words, equations, and formulas.One can put in everything that they have learned. The sheet will make it easier for them to understand the problems they have to solve. If they are having trouble understanding a problem, they can easily see the problem on the sheet. They can easily recognize the problem and be able to understand it. This gives them a tool that will help them learn better.Another advantage to using the sheet is that it is something that you can use as a teaching aid. It is very helpful for helping students in chemistry. You can use it for lecture and class discussions. The sheet will give you a chance to get all of the information that you need and make sure that all of t he students are well-versed in the subject. When you put in all of the problems, you can start with a bit of a scratch pad to jot down the problem and solve it.You can use the notebook to make sure that your students understand the problem. If you have a problem that you want to teach the class, you can have the students solve the problem with their own solution. If you write a formula on the sheet, you will help them in understanding the problem better. You can also show them how to use the formula that you wrote on the sheet. The sheet will also be helpful for helping your students understand the things that they are doing in the lab.With this chemistry formula sheet, you can help your students in their efforts to learn the subject.

You and Yours BBC Radio 4

You and Yours BBC Radio 4 Tutorfair featured on the BBC Radio 4 programme You and Yours, over the bank holiday weekend. If you didn't get a chance to tune-in, we have transcribed the segment. If you would prefer to listen in, hit play below! BBC Radio 4, You and Yours. Monday, 4th May 2015.   Private Tuition is a huge growth market in the UK, surveys suggest that one in every four young people now has a private tutor at some stage, but with lessons costing around £25 a time some people are concerned that private tuition is adding to an inequality, giving children with better off parents an even greater advantage. Catherine Carr reports on the tutoring programme set up to include those who’s families can’t afford to pay. She went to Paddington Academy in London where Imdad Ali in year 13, has been tutored in Maths by Tom Linton. Imdad, Paddington Academy student If you think about it in a Mathematical way its like there’s 2D where you learn through school, with your teachers, and you could say tutoring is an extra dimension, so 3D. It teaches you a different way to do problems and how to solve them. Tom L, Tutorfair Tutor It is kind of a contrast when you give them problems to solve at the beginning of the year, and it’s a combination of the actual problem solving ability and the body language that goes along with it, and how that shifts over time as well. Imdad I took the role of head boy at the start of the year, mainly from the confidence I gained form being tutored in Maths. A feeling where I know more than I think I know. I didn’t have much confidence before, but he [Tom Linton] teaches me ways to check if I have the correct answers or not. I can see my grades getting higher and higher each time I answer a question. Catherine Carr, BBC Reporter Across town at Clapton Girls’, Salimah is on her lunch break, like Imdad she is in her final year, and has had help from a tutor, Lucy Kerr. Lucy took me to meet Salimah, who has had some pretty exciting news. Salimah, Clapton Girls' The tutoring I have had started around September, mid-September. It was mainly to help with my application to Oxford. We started off with my personal statement, looking at ways to structure it so that it flowed better.  I then waited for interviews, and then I got an interview, and then I got in! Lucy Kerr, Tutorfair Tutor and Oxford Graduate I think to give Salimah the chance to meet someone who has studied at the place that she wants to study gives her a nice insight on what to expect especially on interview day, because very often people are going to interviews with really no awareness of what to expect. Also importantly, no awareness that it is possible to enjoy the experience. Salimah had four days in Oxford that I think you really enjoyed! Catherine Both Salimah and Imdad were taught by tutors from Tutorfair. I went to meet one of their founders, Edd Stockwell at their East London offices. Catherine Hi, Edd Edd Stockwell, Tutorfair Co-founder Hi Catherine, lovely to meet you, welcome to Innovation warehouse, where Tutorfair HQ is based. Tutorfair is a website where parents can find tutors for their kids, and for each student who pays, we give tutoring to a child who can’t afford it. Everyone at some point missed something at school, and it’s really really useful to have someone sit down and explain it to you. Good teachers do this all the time, parents do it with their kids, and parents paying tutors to help them is just an extension of that. But when you realise how effective that is, and you realise that there are some people who really can’t afford it, well then you really have to find a way to give it people who can’t afford to pay. Catherine The tutors that I’m looking at on this list, the cheapest one is about £25 an hour and the most expensive one is about £45 an hour. You say that people can’t afford it and some people can’t afford it, but actually the vast majority of people can’t afford tutoring. Edd I think it’s about a quarter of students in the UK have a tutor, and I don’t think that is particularly split by economics massively, there’s large socio-demographic reasons why in Asian cultures it’s particularly prevalent. But I completely agree that the middle class do buy tutoring because it’s a really effective thing to do for your child’s education. Dr. Lee Elliott Major Those from richer backgrounds are three to four times more likely to be investing in private tutoring.  My name is Dr. Lee Elliott Major, I am the chief executive of the Sutton Trust. We do have concerns, as what we observe is an escalating arms race of social mobility. 23% of young people say they’ve had private tutoring across the country. London is the capital, over 40%. But what you see is a very stark gap between the education haves and have-nots. It’s something like 17% of those from poorer backgrounds and 29% of those from richer backgrounds Catherine The Pfitzner family live in West London, after school nine year old Farley is powering through some long multiplication with her tutor. Her older sister Bella will start in January. Their mum Blanche, explains why she is happy to spend what amounts to hundreds of pounds a month on tutoring. Blanche Pfitzner The London day system particularly is quite tough to get into, so you’ve got to get quite high percentages now. So, we thought that the best thing to do when she wasn’t doing brilliantly is to get a bit of support as they get so much homework too, which I can’t do! Catherine What proportion of your friends at the school gates would you say have employed the same tactic? Blanche I would say quite a lot, but secretly as it’s all a bit of secret squirrel stuff. The school is quite against it, so it’s not openly discussed, as they like to see their kids succeeding naturally. But I would have thought that quite a big proportion are doing it. Dr. Lee Elliott Major For most people this is prohibitive, and that’s why the Sutton Trust is looking at different models of how you can provide tutoring for those that don’t have the money to do it. But we’re also evaluating different models like Tutorfair, the Tutor Trust. These not for profits that have emerged from this market, but it’s too early to say which ones are actually having an impact. Edd We just helped our 2,500th student for free , and it’s a one for one promise, so the charity is a little ahead of how many we’ve helped on the business side of Tutorfair. Catherine How do you decide how to select the children eligible for free tutoring? Edd So we partner with inner city schools who have a high proportion of students on free school meals. The class teachers choose the students they feel will benefit most, and our tutors go into those schools to work with those students. Catherine The process is more complicated than that in the school’s eyesore, and it takes a motivated school leadership, but given that it can work. Both Salimah and Imdad were provided with tutors from Tutorfair. Salimah Well I really grateful that I got it, as I know a lot of people didn’t get the chance to have tutoring. I think that is as shame as well that only a small number of people did have that chance. Catherine If you don’t mind me asking, would your parents be in a position to pay for tutoring for you it were not offered to you in this way? Salimah Definitely not, I have five other siblings, so yeah, that probably would have never had happened. Imdad So my parents are not actually in work, because their health is pretty bad. I think I am a very lucky person I guess to get this opportunity. There are lots of people out there that need it as well. Dr. Lee Elliott Major I think that you need something national on this, because the evidence shows that the inequalities are driven largely outside schools, maybe we should have a scheme where we use a bit of pupil premium money for private tutoring outside of schools. What can work across the country is the big question. So it think whoever gets into government after May, I think this is a question for them.

Seeking Distance Why Conservatives are Cutting Ties with an Anti-Tax Pledge

Seeking Distance Why Conservatives are Cutting Ties with an Anti-Tax Pledge Photo from Flickr.com by Tax Credits But this influential pledge is beginning to lose considerable backing within conservative circles.  It has recently come to light that politicians who, in addition to Norquist, could best be described as conservative have begun to distance themselves from this promise. So far, individuals who have denounced it include Senators  Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Saxby Chambliss, and Bob Corker. Among the others are Representatives  Peter King and Chris Gibson, and, perhaps most notably, Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.  Sen. Corker informed  constituents  that he was “not obligated on the pledge.” Meanwhile, Sen. Chambliss confidently told a Georgia news station that “I care a lot more about my countryâ€" I care a lot more about it than I do about Grover Norquist.” It should be noted that the influence and credibility these particular politicians have in the Republican party cannot be overstated. These men are not only revered in their own party, but also among Americans who take a conservative approach to politics. So why are these individuals, who all signed the pledge with enthusiasm upon entering office, retracting their statement to never raise taxes?  The reason for this is intimately linked to the upcoming Republican fiscal cliff compromise. Politicians from both sides of the aisle are furiously seeking a solution to this ever-pressing fiscal issue, and conservatives are focusing on a plan to raise tax revenue by eliminating potential deductions as well as closing possible tax loopholes. But how is this plan connected to Grover Norquist? Under his strict rules as they are laid out in the pledge, these seemingly small modifications to the tax system count as a tax increase. Therefore, they are to remain absolutely forbidden. A Senate aide who asked not to be named recently stated that although Republicans and Democrats often take different approaches to taxation, Norquist remains totally isolated in considering the elimination of tax credits to be a tax increasethe pledge just doesnt reflect the reality of how tax policy works. It appears that this anti-tax activist is beginning to lose his considerable influence, even among people who share most of his ideologies. As Rep. Peter King of New York recently told NBC’s Meet the Press, “the world has changed, and the economic situation is different.” Perhaps it is time for everyone to realize that what worked in 1986 may not work today, and that seemingly immobile economic ideas must be altered to fit the current fiscal climate.

Nathan, age 15 Renuka Sadacharan, Instructor

Nathan, age 15 Renuka Sadacharan, Instructor Nathan, age 15: Renuka Sadacharan, Instructor While many 10th graders are learning the Pythagorean Theorem, Nathan is ahead of the game, studying loci and quadratic inequalities. Sounds daunting to many, but to a member of math, debate and Hi-Q teams this is “stuff” that dreams are made of. Hi-Q is the oldest academic quiz competition in the United States. Questions range from art, history to science. In April 2016, Nathan’s Hi-Q team recently took home the national championship. “It feels great. We put in all the hard work. It feels great in the end. We felt we were prepared for this moment,” said Nathan. Nathan was in the first grade when he enrolled in the Kumon Math program. Now a high school sophomore, he’s only one level away from completing the Kumon Math program. At school, he made the 2014-2015 Distinguished Honor Roll and Academic Honor Roll. Nathan is also taking three Advanced Placement courses and advanced math this year. He’s on the junior varsity swimming and tennis teams. During the summer he’s part of his school’s science buddies program, serving as a “big brother” by helping young kids improve their math skills. “I am a proud parent,” said his father Raj. “Nathan is well rounded, has become a good mentor and has an excellent attitude. There were many times he felt like giving up the Kumon Program but got self-motivated and set goals for himself.” Nathan feels that his parents and Kumon Instructor, Renuka Sadacharan have been integral to his success. Since he first started Kumon, he’s been routinely working on it almost every day. Nathan reflects on his Kumon experience and sums it up this way â€" “If you take any athlete, engineer, doctor or scientist, they never became great overnight. Practice made them great. I followed the same approach with Kumon all these years.” As he enters adulthood, Nathan plans on becoming a doctor.

3 Reasons Why Good Students Get Bad English Grades

3 Reasons Why Good Students Get Bad English Grades In my experience as an English tutor, I find that it is not only students who struggle with English that can get poor grades. Good students can also get bad grades in papers and exams. Here are three reasons why. 1. They over-prepare.When you have been assigned a paper thorough research is important. But there is such a thing as too much research. I have had students who had to write papers on Shakespeare plays who knew the plays backwards and forwards. They were also experts on scholarly interpretation of the plays. However, with so much research they lost sight of the key points they wanted to make in their papers and in their exams. As a result, they produced poorly structured essays which had too many ideas that were not properly developed. The best essays might have only three to five ideas that are well developed. 2. They do not do enough timed exam practice.Revision is not only about reviewing your notes and re-reading set texts. A core component must be timed exam practice. I have yet to see a student that consistently does well in timed assessments that has not practiced questions under timed conditions. This is essential for two reasons. Students must learn to read and understand a question quickly. They must also learn to manage time in exams. They should leave enough time to create a writing plan and write a conclusion. Those who do not leave time to plan rarely produce as essays of the same quality as those students that do. Those who do not conclude their essays give the marker the impression of an unfinished piece of work. Both situations should be avoided. Time management in exams is vital for getting high grades. Students who do not manage their time carefully in exams often lose easy marks. I once had a student who lost 30% on his English Literature exam because he did not answer a third question, only completing two out of three. Unfortunately, the third question was one he could have answered well. 3. They read too quickly.While slow readers often struggle with text comprehension, I have found that good readers sometimes also perform poorly in reading comprehension. This is because with their faster reading pace they start breezing through a text without clarifying the purpose of their reading. There is a balance between speed and clarity of purpose. Students need to consciously ask themselves what it is that they want to learn from the text. This encourages targeted reading which often leads to higher scores on reading compression tests.
