Bonding Crystals to Store and Transport Carbon Compounds

Bonding Crystals to Store and Transport Carbon CompoundsOne of the newest and most interesting elements to show up in the news lately is the latest innovation in bonds chemistry: bonds of carbon-based compounds. In the last couple of years, scientists have been trying to work out how to store and transport some of these elements in a new way. They are designing molecules that allow them to hold the elements at a low temperature, without the risk of the element spontaneously decomposing.One of the recent technology breakthroughs has been the creation of a molecule with a ring. They may seem familiar - they are similar to the two rings found on most bonds chemistry and bio-organic chemistry supplies. But the similarities end there, as these rings are actually extremely useful.These rings are held in place by molecules called co-axial ligands. These are excited by cross-linked benzene rings that are contained within a special molecule called CO 2 - but they can be used as well. In these new hybrid cross-linked rings, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have different spins, making it easier for scientists to control the bonding and other properties of the molecules. The rings also make it possible to 'strip' them off so that the ring loses its special property.Other ways in which these cross-linked rings are used to hold various elements have been discovered too. However, it is important to understand the difference between chemistry engineering, as this can often make an otherwise important discovery very different. Engineering is concerned with structures and methods for producing or using materials, while chemistry deals with the chemical reactions which produce the materials, and the application of the materials.For example, in the production of fuel for cars and ships, the chemical compounds that help the fuel run smoothly are relatively simple. Making them is very simple too, making it easy to mix up different types of fuels and then create a fuel mixture that wil l work as a power source. However, the application of these fuels is much more difficult. This is because it is possible to take certain fuels, combine them with other substances, and get something that is not very useful for most applications.Engineers do not think much about the engineering aspect of chemical compounds - they are a matter of producing the right recipe of reactants, additives, and the desired reaction products. Chemists, on the other hand, think about the chemical reaction that takes place in order to make a particular chemical compound, and the reactions that may occur between the components in the compound.As a result, chemical engineers consider building blocks as the basis of chemistry, and chemicals as the building blocks of the universe. As it turns out, chemistry is very similar to physics, with the two fields doing a lot of work together in order to improve the science of physics itself. At the same time, physics and chemistry need each other to understand the interactions that take place in the world around us.

6 Advantages of Online Tutoring for Students

6 Advantages of Online Tutoring for Students Improving Academic Performance Although online tutoring has been around for a while, many students (and their parents) haven’t yet caught on to the possibility of meeting with a tutor virtually, let alone come to recognize its benefits. Once the idea moves from the realm of theory to the realm of actuality, however, attitudes generally change from skepticism and incredulity to enthusiasm and appreciation. Much like telecommuting and virtual commerce for other businesses, online tutoring provides a number of distinct advantages that not only make it competitive with in-person tutoring, but actually superior in many cases. Here are a few of them. 1. Availability Geography isn’t a limitation for online tutors, and neither, generally, is time. If you’ve ever tried to deal with the restrictions of finding a tutor who is local, proficient in the subject you need help in, and can meet according to your schedule, you should be able to appreciate this immediately. Once you remove the restrictions of geography, time zones, and commuting, finding the right tutor for your needs suddenly becomes a lot easier. 2. Selection The corollary of availability is selection. Rather than praying to get lucky enough to find a single tutor who meets your criteria and can work with you, when searching for online tutors you are much more likely to have a selection to choose from, which allows you to be discriminating. In addition, the broader selection also affords you the benefit of working with multiple tutors who specialize in different areas, enabling you to choose tutors who are experts in the specific areas where you need help. 3. Value The corollary of selection is value. Being able to discriminate means that tutors have to rely on merit rather than scarcity to win your business, and you don’t have to settle for second (or third) rate. It puts you in the driver’s seat when tutors have to compete for your business, rather than the other way around. 4. Convenience Add into the mix the convenience of being able to meet with a tutor without having to leave your house (or your dorm room). If you insist on having a face-to-face meeting with a tutor, then one of you is going to incur the expense of travel time and fuel costs, and unless you happen to find an exceptionally altruistic tutor, chances are it will be you. Plus, leaving the house (or having a visitor) generally means you have to change out of your jammies. 5. Accessibility Convenience assumes that you have a choice, but what if you don’t actually have any options for local tutoring? For some, making the decision to seek tutoring online may mean the difference between getting help and not. 6. Technology Often people who haven’t experienced online tutoring fear that the technology will be a hindrance, but in many ways it is an advantage, especially for young people who are used to chatting on skype and not intimidated by new software. When sessions are online they are easily recorded for future reference, and a good tutor will make use of technology for illustrative purposes by using photos, animations, drawings, and diagrams. Not to mention there are resources readily available that wouldn’t be if you were sitting across a table (Wikipedia, anyone?). At MyGuru, we have a “Premium” WebEx account â€" www.webex.com, which allows us to: Write on a virtual whiteboard Share our screen with students Record sessions for later viewing by the student â€" we find this to be a powerful feature Upload files Participate in audio, video, and text chat during the session We’re also performed online tutoring using Skype, Join.me, and are currently testing a new platform called Snapclass. The technologies available today allow online tutoring to mimic in-person tutoring to a surprising degree. Summary To be honest, we are amazed that online, 1-1 tutoring isn’t used more often. One factor not mentioned above is cost - when a great tutor doesn’t need to travel to a session, he or she is often much more likely to charge less per hour.

Activities to Promote Leadership Aptitude

Activities to Promote Leadership Aptitude There is such a thing as a born leader, but the truth is, you can cultivate leadership aptitudes in your child from an early age. Whether your child grows up to become a powerful business person, a teacher, or a doctor, the ability to lead people toward a goal and be a positive influence on others is invaluable. Here are six activities that will help your child develop and strengthen those leadership skills: Volunteering at an organization that helps people. Leaders have empathy for others, and there is no better way to build childrens empathy than to put them in situations where they can help others who are less fortunate or need support. Empower your child to take action (or get involved in an effort already underway) when he or she sees something wrong in the community and wants to fix it. Running for student council. By its very nature, student council, whether in elementary school, middle school or high school, is a great way to show your child what it means to inspire change in an organization (a school in this case). Student council will also build your childs public speaking, teamwork, and organizational skills. Joining a club and becoming an officer. Any extracurricular involvement will benefit your child in a multitude of ways, but taking on a position such as secretary or treasurer (or even president or vice president) is especially good for your child. Such a position will build your childs sense of responsibility. Becoming part of a team. This could be a soccer team, a dance troupe, a glee club or something entirely different. A team environment helps participants cultivate their abilities to collaborate and work effectively with different types of people. Working with children. This might be most applicable when your child becomes a teenager. Whether its babysitting, assisting in a preschool art class or coaching a childrens team, working effectively with younger children requires many of the same competencies that leaders need. Your teen will learn how to manage disorder, get others attention and motivate children to work toward similar tasks and goals while building his or her patience in the process. Being in charge of something. At home, you can help nurture your childs inner leader by giving him or her something to manage independently. Chores are one option but think bigger. Is there some part of your familys modus operandi that your child or teen could take over? Do you have a family business with which your child could get involved? Even if your child isnt planning to become a Fortune 500 CEO, leadership development is extremely beneficial. Your child will grow up to be more confident, adaptable, resilient and capable. He or she will become more proficient at making decisions and listening to others ideas (and articulating his or her own). Encourage your child to engage in activities that nurture their leadership skills. The positive effects will be long-lasting.

Do I need to speak Mandarin to teach English in China

Do I need to speak Mandarin to teach English in China It can seem like a daunting experience to travel overseas to work in a country where you don't know the native language. But don't let the fear of not being able to speak Mandarin keep you from teaching English in China. Do I need to learn Chinese to teach English in China? The short answer is - nope! It’s not necessary to speak any Mandarin (or Cantonese) to be hired to teach in China. In fact, it’s actually preferred that you don’t speak anything aside from English to your students. Most, if not almost all, overseas English teachers working in China don’t speak more than a few words of Mandarin. Elibility requirements for English teaching jobs in China, like Teach Away’s very own Explore program, are usually English fluency, a bachelor’s degree, a TEFL certification and not a whole lot else. If you’re looking at teaching in an ESL or language center pretty much anywhere in China, not speaking the native language will be seen as an advantage by your hiring school. Schools will want their students to be fully immersed in the English language when they are in the classroom. (As you probably know, this is the most effective way to learn a new language.) Yep, you heard that right - not speaking Mandarin is an asset when it comes to applying for English teaching jobs in China. As the teacher with native English language skills, you’re expected to communicate to your students fully in English, although you may have a local teaching assistant there in case of an acute language barrier. More often than not, your students will know at least some English, so you will likely not be starting from scratch anyway. Recommended reading: Requirements to teach English in China (Video) Can I teach English abroad without knowing the local language (or being bilingual)? You can teach English in China without a degree (and 3 other myths people think are true) How to cope with language barriers while teaching English in China So you’ve got communicating with your students in the classroom covered, but what about getting around outside school hours on your own? With locals that may not speak a word of English? Does the thought strike fear into your heart? We get it, Mandarin isn’t necessarily the easiest language to pick up. But just as your students will find it easier to learn English by being forced to listen and communicate in the language, you’ll be surprised how easy it is to learn the basic Mandarin phrases you need to get by! Before you go, take time to memorize some basic phrases and their pronunciation. If you can show that you have a basic grasp of the language, locals will be much more open to helping you out if you need it! You’re bound to end up in a situation with a communication error, but take these experiences in your stride and learn from them. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world.

Irvine Science Tutor 4 Awesome Summer Science Activities

Irvine Science Tutor 4 Awesome Summer Science Activities Private Irvine Science Tutoring: 4 Awesome Summer Science Activities Summertime and the great outdoors can offer students ample opportunity to hone their scientific abilities. Its important that kids get a chance just to relax and soak in some sunshine while school is out of session but there are plenty of educational activities they can do without the four walls of the classroom environment. Summer science activities can be social and interactive and encourage students to develop a love of science without the pressure of due dates or exams. There are several activities parents can do with their children that make the summer more fun and productive simultaneously. 1. Field research Although it sounds pretty intense, field research just means studying outside of the home or classroom. Depending on a students grade level, there are tons of things they can look for out in nature. Students can observe the types of plants that grow in and around their neighborhood and even take a photo or draw a picture. They can observe the difference between various types of soil in a park or on a nature walk and learn about the different elements required to make plants grow, such as water and sunlight. Students can even choose some seeds at the supermarket or garden center and plant flowers or vegetables in a backyard garden and then measure the plants as they grow. Summer field research is about kids learning that theres a lot more to science than what is found in a textbook (READ: 5 Reasons to Play Sports Over the Summer). 2. Socialization During the school year, many kids dont get as much social time as they might need. Summer science projects are a great way for kids to work on social skills such as sharing and working as a team without the pressure of a grade at the end of the project. For instance, a few kids in the neighborhood could get together and create a safe and age-appropriate science experiment under the supervision of a parent and learn how to share the various responsibilities of the project while still having fun. Students can get the same type of socialization in an organized setting at an outdoor summer science camp. 3. The Earth A simple yet effective way of learning about the Earth is for students to study what they see outside. For example, is the Earth made up of dry soil and a mountainous ridgeline or marshy wetlands home to fish and birds? Since summer time allows students to slow down and live in the present, they can spend some time learning what makes up the Earth by simply being outside. Kids who live in an urban setting can compare the differences between the city and a local park or nature preserve. Some examples for students living in Southern California include: The San Joaquin Marsh in Irvine The San Diego Botanic Gardens in Encinitas 4. Climate studies and ocean tides During the summer, students can also think about some things that are put right in front of them but that they might not otherwise think of when theyre busy with academic activities. For instance, students living in Southern California will be relatively close to the Pacific Ocean. They can learn about ocean tides in person rather than in a textbook. Parents can look up low and high tide with their kids on some free apps and visit the ocean at different times of the day to compare. They can then do some at-home research and see how the moon affects the local tide. Additionally, kids can study their local microclimate by looking at the night and daytime temperature or taking a trip from the beach to the desert to see different flora and fauna that grow in different temperatures. In addition to learning about science and nature, students can have some quality time with their family. Summer is the perfect time for students to catch up and get ahead in their science studies.

Teaching: A Career Field

Teaching: A Career FieldThe career of a teacher has been updated and is more demanding than it has ever been. In the past, teachers were only expected to be good at one or two subjects and focus on them, but today their role has expanded into a multitude of other areas including math tutoring, special education tutoring, social studies tutoring, ESL tutoring, geography tutoring, language tutoring, school administration tutoring, technology tutoring, college admissions tutoring, paralegal tutoring, state-based law tutoring, adult education tutoring, home school tutoring, the list goes on.To become a teacher, you need to be certified and fully accredited to do so. You must have the right kinds of qualifications as well as have proper experience in the required subjects, or at least have a high school diploma in the subject that you wish to teach. Whether you choose to stay in a private school or in a public school, you will require the same form of certification.However, the job market has improved for the K-12 level. This means that there are more jobs for teachers than ever before. This is because there are now more students in the K-12 level than there were in the past, and the school system has been making more efforts to have a better curriculum.Teacher salaries have been steadily increasing in recent years due to the growth in the teaching force. You will find yourself with an increased salary as long as you have the right skills for the job.In addition to the education you may have received and the degree, you may need to have a certain amount of experience before you can get hired. There are lots of teachers that make a living off of being certified and there are also plenty of openings. It is therefore crucial that you work hard and always try to up your game.You will find many teachers who have gained a lot of experience because they are often hired by private schools or by the school district to provide extra assistance to the teachers in the classroom . These teachers are often very happy to learn about any new developments that will be brought to their classrooms and to be taught by a teacher who has good and solid recommendations.In conclusion, you need to look at the career field of teacher as a type of career field.
