The Importance of Reading Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life Vocabulary Practice

The Importance of Reading Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life Vocabulary PracticeChapter 2 Chemistry of Life is one of the easiest chemistry courses that I have taken. There are many good reasons for this and the reasons are clear and easy to understand. It is an important part of any chemistry course and, indeed, one of the most difficult, because it challenges our understanding of the laws and principles that govern the chemical properties of things.This is where, as with all subjects, the most significant changes are made by those who are using their understanding to construct their own cultural, social and political opinions and perspectives. When this happens, sometimes our definitions and labels are challenged and some of the more important principles are lost or modified to fit our new opinions and perspective.For example, sometimes, in the pursuit of social consensus or general agreement, we accept something as a fact when it is not. This can happen as a result of a simple misunderst anding or as a result of pressure from outside influences, who want to take credit for a particular issue or story.Now it is a fact that everyone accepts some kind of social agreement on certain things. That is why, when one group goes out and encourages people to make changes to the other's practices, or at least to appreciate and respect what they have, it is often a huge success. In fact, changing the practices of the other group can often help you to do the same to them.Often, though, when this happens, the groups that are being encouraged to go out of their way to make it clear that the social agreements did not originate from them but from the people who have, or the creators of those laws and principles. In essence, they try to put the blame where it really belongs - at the feet of those who set up the legislation that the others need to follow. They may even begin to voice their criticisms and complaints about the policies that the government is trying to impose on the rest of us. So, for example, in a chapter 2 Chemistry of Life vocabulary practice, I was studying how to use the law to get me to change my feelings about some property that I owned. But at the same time, I was also examining the idea of private property itself. When I used the law to change my feelings about the property I had, and when I started to look at the idea of private property itself, there was a very different message coming through.When you change your feelings about something that you hold in private, you change your feelings about it in a very real way. And when you change your feelings about the property itself, you are changing your relationship with the laws and principles that govern it, in a very real way.

What Can I Expect At My First Voice Lesson

What Can I Expect At My First Voice Lesson Suzy S. For some people, its a big step to sign up for voice lessons. We know the thought can seem a little scary particularly if youre not used to singing in front of others, let alone a trained, professional vocalist!   But dont worry: your teacher isnt there to judge or intimidate you. Perhaps youre wondering what you can really expect at your first voice lesson.   How should you prepare?   Heres a look into a typical lesson experience from Kathryn M., one of our newest teachers in Fairborn, OH: Have you been thinking about taking voice lessons, but you just aren’t sure? A lot of people like to sing in a choir, with the radio, or even in the shower.  But is taking voice lessons right for you?  Here is some information about what to expect at a voice lesson, frequently asked questions about taking voice lessons, and how you can benefit from taking them. The first thing you need to ask yourself is: what are my goals? Establishing your goals with singing is what will help you and your voice teacher set a path for your lessons. If your goals include sight reading better for your community choir, great.  If they include one day singing on the Broadway stage, great. Knowing your goals with singing will help you to stay motivated and moving forward. So, now that you’ve decided to take voice lessons, what’s next?  At your first lesson, there is often uncertainty as to what to expect from the experience.  It’s important to know that although your voice teacher is there to help you improve, he or she will never make you feel like you aren’t good enough to sing. Your voice teacher will work with you where you are at and help you get to the next level.  Just sing out and don’t be afraid to show what you’ve got. What will you learn? Singing lessons are about more than just the product. Singing lessons engage the entire body and you will be instructed on correct posture, breathing and vowel shaping. This may seem tedious at times, but keeping your instrument aligned and working properly is as important as the sound that is produced. What will you sing? This has a lot to do with your goals. Your voice teacher will have repertoire suggestions and books he or she may ask you to purchase. This is to help provide you with quality music to learn from and grow with. Vocal repertoire books range from folk songs, opera, oratorios, Broadway, and everything in between. You might have goals to sing in another language and that vastly expands your possibilities. Kathryn M. teaches singing and trumpet lessons in Fairborn, OH.   She holds a Masters Degree in Vocal Music Education from the University of Dayton, and has been a TakeLessons instructor since May 2012.

What is it Like to Attend Ithaca College

What is it Like to Attend Ithaca College The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences, as well. Ene graduated from Ithaca College in 2014 with a Bachelors degree in Biochemistry. She tutors Biology tutoring, Chemistry tutoring, Physics tutoring, and many other subjects. Check out her review of Ithaca College: 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? Ene: The Ithaca College campus is safe, a bit secluded, and of medium size. On-campus housing is very close to campus classes, and in the summertime, I would advise students to walk, instead of drive, to their classes. The winters are very cold, however. The college is about 20-25 minutes from the Ithaca Commons by foot. Buses arrive every thirty minutes on the weekdays, and they run until a little after 1:00 a.m. The campus is secluded from the town, and it is kept safe by public safety officers who drive around, especially at night. Only residents of a building have access to the main entrance with their IDs. In the event that a student is afraid to walk alone, there are escort services available free of charge. A car or bike is not necessary, especially if you live on campus, but a car can be useful after the buses stop running (if you live off campus and during the winter). VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Ene: The professors and advisers are very easy to reach, especially during office hours. But most times, I could just stop by a professors office and have a chat with him or her. Most teaching assistants (TAs) are students, and they provide their email information to students. They are available through TA sessions and by appointment. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Ene: There are numerous socialization opportunities, especially for freshmen. The First Year Experience introduces students to various student organizations and provides a list of fun things to do in Ithaca. The resident assistants are also very supportive, and they always come up with activities that students can do together. Collaborations between student organizations provide another way for students who are not freshmen to socialize. 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? Ene: Ithaca College is known for its Music, Theatre, and Television Radio majors. I studied Biochemistry because I love both biology and chemistry, and I wanted a chance to study both. The department is small when compared to other departments, and this made it easier to get to know my fellow students and teachers in the department. Professors had time to answer my individual questions, and I was able to do research with a professor who supervised and advised me. 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? Ene: I was an international student who enrolled in the spring semester, and the friends I made were mostly exchange students who left in following semesters. It was a bit rough for me to go out and meet people, but once I started to join clubs and take classes outside my major, I had more chances to socialize. Ithaca College has no Greek life of its own, but students can join fraternities and sororities at Cornell University. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Ene: Career Services offers walk-in sessions for tasks like resume and cover letter writing. They also provide opportunities for students to complete mock interviews. Every semester, there is at least one job fair with between 80-100 recruiters. In addition, there is an alumni mentorship program that allows students to contact and seek advice from alumni of the college. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Ene: Dorm lounges are hardly ever used unless there is a floor event or when students want to watch shows together. There is only one library, which can get crowded during exam periods. But there are multiple computer labs and study lounges where students can study. The library is open 24 hours a day on weekdays. The computer labs are open until late at night. 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? Ene:Ithaca also houses Cornell University, and students from Ithaca College have the chance to join clubs at Cornell University and to take classes there. It is a great way to meet other students. Ithaca has many gorges and parks that are fun to explore in the summer, and there are many restaurants downtown to explore, as well. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Ene: The largest classes are typically introductory classes of up to 100 students (in the sciences). But once you move from 100-level classes, class sizes usually fall to between 10 (for small classes) to about 40 (for the larger classes). I was pleased with the class size because there was more room for individual questions and discussions. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Ene: I went into college as a Biology major. At that point, I hated chemistry. I remember my first chemistry class with a certain professor and immediately falling in love with chemistry because he taught it so well and enthusiastically. So after that class, I changed my major to Biochemistry. Check out Enes tutoring profile. The views expressed in this article do not necessarily represent the views of Varsity Tutors.

?? How Increasing the Amount of Natural Light in Your Home Can Benefit Your Children

?? How Increasing the Amount of Natural Light in Your Home Can Benefit Your Children How Increasing the Amount of Natural Light in Your Home Can Benefit Your Children Incorporating Natural Light Into Your Home Can Benefit Your ChildrenNatural light has a whole host of benefits, including the ability to improve moods and boost vitamin D absorption. But, with technological advancements meaning there are fewer reasons for children to spend time outdoors, therefore, it might be time to consider how you can increase the amount of natural light in your home.Getting kids to play outdoors isn't always easy, especially when there are video games to be played and television shows to watch. But, when they are regularly exposed to less and less natural light, this can lead to serious health problems â€" both mentally and physically. In fact, natural light is so important to health that Regulation 8 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 makes it a legal requirement for all establishments â€" including schools â€" to encourage natural light wherever possible. However, it's not just schools that should be concerned with the amount of na tural light they let in, but also family homes, too. In this article, we will be sharing some of the main benefits that natural light can have for our children. It can improve their moodAs parents, you'll be familiar with the morning grumble when you're trying to get the kids out of bed but having ample natural light in their room and around your home can ensure morning moods don’t last. Natural light is a powerful resource for boosting your mood and therefore encouraging positivity â€" so much so that a recent study by Maruani and Geoffrey found that bright light is an effective therapy for individuals suffering from depression. This is certainly an important finding given that NHS statistics for 2017 reported an increase in mental health disorders in children aged 5â€"19 years old, bringing the total to 12.8% for that year.Additionally, there is evidence that UV rays from the sun can stimulate melanocytes â€" the cells responsible for the dark pigment in your skin â€" these cells also encourage endorphin production, leaving your children feeling good more often. So, if your child spends a lot of time cooped up in their room, you'll need to ensure that there is enough natural light coming through their windows. If they have an attic room that doesn't currently have sufficient lighting, getting a set of roof windows can be a fantastic solution. As well as maximising the amount of natural light your little one is exposed to, these also provide great ventilation which is said to be beneficial for your mental health. Plus, roof windows can be fitted with blackout blinds, putting you back in control of when it's bright or dark in your child's room.Help Get Better SleepAs with waking them up on a morning, getting your kids to sleep at night can certainly prove a stressful experience. But natural light has been found to solve some of these issues too and can help enhance sleep quality.Light dictates our circadian rhythm â€" the hours we spend awake and asleep â€" and can have an impact on everything from our metabolism to our body temperature. And, when we aren't exposed to enough of it, our body decides its own pattern to follow which is based on genetics might not be quite right for optimal functioning. If your child struggles to sleep on a night, it may be because he or she is not being exposed to enough natural light and therefore their body is deciding the sleeping and waking hours for itself. When natural light is readily available during the day, it can solve problems of insomnia at night by resetting the body and helping it to regulate patterns of sleep and wakefulness. Sleep is key for growing minds, click here to read our article on how sleep can affect academic performance It can boost their productivity and learning developmentWhether they're struggling to get through their homework or are trying to concentrate on their recreational hobbies, like reading, natural light can drive motivation and help your children to get through more and with a better focus. This is because humans are designed to function at their optimum levels during daylight and to sleep when it is dark.So much research has been done around this topic, with many studies indicating that bright light could have an effect on the ability for us to learn. This was supported by a 2018 study by Soler et al, who found that rats had better cognitive functioning when they had been exposed to daytime light each day. The results of studies like these indicate that when light is removed or not available in the correct quantities, it can disrupt normal functioning and interrupt your child's productivity. Help to promote healthy physical growthNatural light from the sun emits vitamin D, which is key for growth, calcium absorption, and promotes healthy bone development. It also makes your body more able to fight off any illnesses and diseases, including cancer and heart disease. This means that it's important to try and get your kids to spend as much time outdoors as possible.Similarly, exposure to natural light can help your child to regulate their body weight, as the blue light emitted by the sun has been found to cause the fat cells beneath the skin to shrink. This is supported by a report published in the Nature Research journal which suggested that sunlight may be directly related to weight loss. Natural light is crucial for us all, especially children in their early years of developing both mentally and physically. It's important that your kids spend time out in the fresh air, but also that your home invites enough natural light to benefit them, too. Consider the benefits I've la id out above and introduce some more light for happy and healthy kids! Written by David Knight from expert roof windows suppliers Roof Windows 4 You, He shares some of his insights from his many years in the industry surrounding the benefits that incorporating natural light into your home can have for your children.

Tips for Tutors Expanding your Expertise

Tips for Tutors Expanding your Expertise Today I have the pleasure of sharing a guest post by Thomas S. In his article tutors are going to learn about expanding their expertise. A few words about Thomas He is a ten year veteran of the teaching profession and currently serves as a junior high school teacher in southern New Jersey and as a writer for The Knowledge Roundtable, a free tutoring marketplace. His primary focus is building reading, writing, and research skills in his students. He holds two degrees from Rutgers University: a B.A. in History as well as a M.Ed. in Elementary Education. He holds teaching certifications in English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Elementary Education. Thomas has also worked as a tutor for grades ranging from second through high school in a wide variety of subjects including reading, writing, calculus, chemistry, algebra, and test prep. His core educational beliefs stem from the notion that all students can be successful; it is the role of educators to help facilitate growth by differentiating and scaffolding student learning on a personal level. Now, enjoy his article Expanding your Expertise If you are a tutor looking to expand your potential client base or just seeking to pursue different content areas, there are a variety of ways you can expand your expertise. Flipping the script and becoming the learner instead of the teacher can seem daunting, but the process can be both an enlightening and a rewarding way to keep your tutoring experience fresh. Where to Start? If this sounds like an avenue worth pursuing, sometimes the hardest part is knowing what subjects to branch out into. One place to start is to ask your existing clients about support they would like you to be able to provide. By investing time into content your current clients may need help with down the road, you raise the odds that your time investment spent learning will be a profitable one. Another possibility is to investigate which content areas are in demand in your area. By checking tutoring job boards like The Knowledge Roundtable, you can see where the needs are that you could potentially fill. You may not acquire a new skillset to teach a particular post’s needed area immediately, but you can bet that if there is a need for, say, calculus tutors in your area today, there probably will be next semester as well. Resources to Use Once you have an idea of what content area you wish to learn about, the next step is actually digging in and putting your brain to work! One cost-effective solution is acquiring used textbooks in the content area. You can find used editions of textbooks on sites like Ebay and Amazon that can be shipped to your door, often for merely a few dollars. Looking for editions that are one or two behind the current volumes can be a way to find big savings; the differences in the pages’ content are usually negligible. Your local library could potentially carry these types of materials as well; it is definitely worth checking out if you want to keep your financial investment to a minimum. Online coursework platforms like Coursera and Khan Academy offer inexpensive or even free courses in a wide array of content areas. The work is demonstrated with lectures and videos that break down the content in a fashion similar to a full-fledged online university course. Being able to demonstrate your course completion data from these sites to a client is a way of showing your content prowess as well as your dedication to improving your own learning without shelling out the big buck for college credits. If you want something a bit more formal for your tutoring resume, check out the offerings from your local community college. There are typically course offerings that can be attended at a low cost (or even audited) if you are a county resident. If your local community college doesn’t have what you are looking for, branching into neighboring communities may be worth a look as well. Picking up some extra college credit could open up future opportunities for higher-level (and higher-paying) tutoring experiences down the road. Be Honest and Realistic Acquiring a new skillset can be exciting. Like a child with a new bike, you may be in a rush to get out there and put your skills to the test. Be careful, however. Jumping into a tutoring arrangement where you are not fully prepared can be devastating to your business. A lackluster performance can result in negative feedback that may hinder your acquisition of new clients. Before you take on the first client in a new content area, be sure you are prepared. It might also be a good idea to be up front about your novice status in the area and offer your services at a discount. If you are successful, the experience and potentially positive word-of-mouth could be worth a lot more than what you give up in a reduced hourly rate for your first client.

5 Reasons to Take Time Off Before a Postgraduate Degree

5 Reasons to Take Time Off Before a Postgraduate Degree Each and every year there are loads of graduates that apply to do a postgraduate to begin attendance in the following autumn. However, there are several reasons that you may want to take time off before making a decision. Ensuring you are making the right career choice By waiting a year or even two years before attending applying, will help you clarify your career path. You may choose to work in the field at an entry level position to see if this is something you truly want to spend the rest of your life doing. Gaining experience now for better learning later. There are many people out there that find it easier to learn in a class setting when they have real-life experience they can relate to or connect with. For instance, if you need to take epidemiology class for your degree, consider enrolling as a volunteer in the medical sector. You may end up in another country helping the people in the village comprehend basic health principles. This experience will make learning epidemiology topics easier. You will also gain knowledge that will provide you with insights that your classmates may not have. Improving your applications There are some degrees out there that only accept a small percentage of those who actually apply for admission. The admissions personnel will look at everything from your CV to personal and professional goals to grades to test scores to decide whether or not you are admitted. So, the more work history you have on your CV, the more realistic your professional and personal goals are and the better your grades and test scores are, you will have a better chance of being admitted. Improve your future job applications For a minute, pretend you are the hiring manager for your dream job. You have a pile of CV's and job applications in front of you on your desk. Half of these CV's have postgraduate degrees that are pretty impressive along with summer internships. The other half of the CV's provide detailed accounts of the applicants work history along with impressive skills that are relevant to the job and grad degrees that are impressive. It is pretty obvious that you are going to want to interview the latter group of candidates. Improving your outlook financially While it is true that postgraduate education may help you to increase your potential work earning, you can also improve your financial outlook before even deciding on a postgraduate degree. You can take a year or two and work so that you can pay down your student loan debt or you can begin to create a savings nest egg for your future.
