Ap Chemistry Exam Calculator - Great Help For Students

Ap Chemistry Exam Calculator - Great Help For StudentsAp Chemistry Exam Calculator is a study guide with calculators that are widely used in the schools to help students study for AP Chemistry exams. The A-Level in Chemistry, as it is called, requires students to give a written, analytical and practical test to reach the final grade. This test involves several components of Chemistry including calculus, differential equations, chemical reaction principles, thermodynamics, and chemistry and many more.In fact, these calculators are so popular among students because they save their precious time while preparing for the AP Chemistry exam. They not only help students to understand how to do the experiment, but also help them perform and solve multiple equations and calculations.One of the best features of the calculator is that they allow students to make their own formulas. Students can draw and write on the calculator's screen, where they can fill up the left part with a numerical value and then use the on-screen calculations to fit the rest of the formula on the right part. Students can compare the results and use the difference value to find out the correct answer. These calculators also provide an average equation that is great for students who struggle with algebra.Another good feature of this calculator is that it has an online feature. It allows students to view their scores instantly. Once they enter the correct answers, they will be able to see their results in a few seconds. This is very useful when students are rushing to prepare for the exam.The other great thing about these calculators is that they provide feedback about their performance in the exams. In this way, they help students learn how to improve their score over time. This feature helps students know how their grades compare to others who took the test. They also help them to know which areas they need to focus more on.For those students who have limited time, they can also use the calculator to calculate the amount of time that they have to complete the next section of Math Section, or the Physics Section, etc. These calculators can even calculate the total time that is needed to do all the questions and the number of hours that are needed to complete the final exam.These calculators are easily available on the internet and are available at a reasonable price. It is always better to go for the ones that come with a money back guarantee so that you can try it before you purchase it.

Making Homework Relatable

Making Homework Relatable Growing up as a student, I struggled in many classes. Not to say that I suffered from a learning disability, however it was very hard for me to make course material I was learning feel relatable or even applicable to the real world. I was also a very visual person, and unfortunately many of the classroom settings that I grew up in did not have sufficient technology, and tended not to focus on this aspect of learning too heavily. I studied hard. However I constantly felt the need to read and reread my textbooks and notes just to memorize information. Courses that focused on listening comprehension and auditory cues were not my friends, and as a result I often found it strange how a classroom would be staged to reward and benefit those who were able to memorize information over those who tended to think outside the box. A good example of how I might describe this experience can be seen when asking for directions. If you live in an area for a long enough you start to develop a mind map of your surroundings. Landmarks just as much as major street names become important when navigating. In fact, most of the time it even makes things easier. We all inform people and give them direction based on these visual and non-visual cues, and needless to say, both are equally important. It is for this reason that finding a way to make information relatable becomes key in helping struggling students over come fear and anxiety with problem solving in school. Below is a link to a TED Talk by high school math teacher Dan Meyer. In his talk he describes the aversion kids have to facing and solving mathematical problems and how much, if not all of it, can be overcome by prompting people to approach the subject matter in a more practical way. https://youtu.be/qocAoN4jNwcHis message is simple and yet very effective in stating that we have numerous resources at our disposal to help students succeed. Obtaining knowledge can be approached in many different ways and everyone works and learns at their own pace and ability. Having good, supportive and relatable teachers always helps. And in the end, it becomes incredibly rewarding when you help students figure out an approach to problems that works best for them.

Meet the Teachers David Zora teaching in Pavlodar Kazakhstan

Meet the Teachers David Zora teaching in Pavlodar Kazakhstan Canadian teachers, David and Zora, began their Teach Away placement with Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools in Kazakhstan in January 2015. We caught up with them to learn how they're enjoying her teaching abroad experience in Pavlodar so far.What initially interested you in teaching abroad?My wife and I are both long-time teachers, and we both love adventure. We have taught in the UAE twice, in several parts of Canada, and now in Kazakhstan. Teaching abroad was a natural choice for us.Why did you decide on Kazakhstan and the NIS program?The NIS program came to our attention through my contact with Teach Away on another possibility. We leapt at the chance and don’t regret it!Describe the school that you teach at.The school is great, and the kids are amazing! I have taught in many different environments, and I have never met a group of students who are ALL so eager, friendly, welcoming and extremely nice. It is a genuine pleasure being in a classroom with these kids!What does the typica l workday look like?We (the international teachers) teach 18 40-minute periods in a five-day week, Monday to Friday. We also have to make up a number of hours of ‘extra-curricular’ activities. These may include English lessons with our co-teachers, tutorial sessions, clubs, or other activities. This year, my classroom time consisted of three Grade 8 classes with a Russian-speaking co-teacher, and one Grade 9 class with a Kazakh co-teacher. Class time was roughly split between us, usually in our relative languages. My co-teaching experience has been wonderful this year … classes were a real combined effort, both in planning and delivery. Between classes was time for lesson prep, personal responsibilities such as banking, medical appointments, etc. and collaboration. We are required to be in school from 8am to 5pm, with one hour for lunch between 12 and 2. There are also some required cultural events to attend on the weekends, but these are usually great fun. There are also Kaza kh and Russian language lessons once a week.What's the cost of living like in Kazakhstan?We are living in Pavlodar, and the cost of living is pretty low. We understand that it is more expensive in big cities like Astana or Almaty. Also, we have been told that the salaries are higher outside of the big cities. It doesn’t really matter to us, because we don’t like city living and LOVE Pavlodar! We have been to more cultural experiences in four months than in four years teaching in Northern Alberta. The kinds of events we’ve been to include some excellent Russian dance troupes (look up Todes), a jazz evening, concerts, the ballet, and more!Do you have any tips for teachers who are looking to apply to teach abroad or for the NIS program in particular?It is a wonderful experience! Kazakhs are a lovely, warm and welcoming people. NIS seems to be a super place to work. I highly recommend working abroad, in general, and working for NIS in particular. However, to anyone who is used to a set plan/schedule and is ‘rigid’ by nature - you really must be totally flexible, and ‘go with the flow’ to survive. Any final pieces of advice or suggestions?Yes! Where do I start… 1) You are paid essentially for an 11-month year. Paid leave days are accrued and can be applied either to Christmas or summer vacation. Remember the rest of your leave is unpaid. 2) In terms of medical and dental care, you are covered for most things if you go to an approved clinic. You will have to locate one yourself and take a translator. It has often been easier to just find a good one close by and pay ourselves as health costs are quite low compared to home. 3) You MUST keep original receipts (preferably credit card statements) and original boarding passes in order to be compensated for travel to Kazakhstan and for vacations. I had a huge problem because I paid cash, and had only my boarding passes and e-tickets, which was not considered enough evidence.Long and short, we love it here, both working and living, and although there are little idiosyncrasies to overcome, we recommend it very highly!Inspired by David and Zora's experience? Take a look at our current teaching positions with NIS.

3 Innovative Foreign Language Dictionary Hacks for Every Stage of Learning

3 Innovative Foreign Language Dictionary Hacks for Every Stage of Learning 3 Innovative Foreign Language Dictionary Hacks for Every Stage of Learning A foreign language dictionary is an absolute essential, a basic language learning tool.But do you want to  get some extra mileage out of it?  Can  you use it beyond looking up words you dont know  when youre reading?Arent  dictionaries just boring and utilitarian resources, especially when you have colorful,  modern textbooks and shiny online lessons  to go after?Dictionaries, both online and off, are great learning resources, even if they seem to be boring as all get out. And even that last bit wasn’t at all accurateâ€"modern dictionaries usually contain mini-grammar resources and phrasebooks alongside their other virtues.If youre learning an uncommon language, sometimes  a dictionary and phrasebook are the only learning resources you have access to.It just takes a little creativity to make these massive sources of information work for you.Here are three  dictionary hacks anyone can use! 3 Innovative Foreign Language Dictionary Hacks for Every Stage of Learning1. Beginner: Compi le Targeted Word Lists to Jumpstart Your VocabularyWhat’s cooler than creating your own personalized textbook? This is basically what Gabriel Wyner, author of Fluent Forever, proposes on his website. Through classes or basic textbooks, all language learners are expected to pick up basic vocabulary that addresses a traveler’s most pressing needs. These include such basic categories as animals, places, body parts, food, etc., and they can be broken down into thematic  word lists.A word list is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a categorically organized list of words for specific situations. The categories help you remember words used in similar situations, and this method of learning vocabulary (while a little rote) is great when you need to quickly learn something for immediate use. FluentU  even allows users to create targeted word lists within its program.You may ask, what good does a word list do? Well, a word list does more than you think. It’s both a starting point and a support for your other studies. The generally agreed-upon basic vocabulary categories are defined because those are the most basic things people need to understand and express. And, if you’re going traveling soon or want to start speaking the language as soon as possible, you can never underestimate the value of this vocabulary! Even if your grammar is lagging behind, Tarzan-speak combined with strategic gesturing can get you far.Here are some ideas for dictionaries and other resources to help you out!Gabriel Wyner’s guidelines for creating a basic vocabulary.  Wyner’s method covers all of the basic categories and eventually  leads you to compile word lists for 625 words. This is a lifesaver, especially if you don’t have funds or other access to textbooks!WordReference  is a multilingual dictionary great for a wide number of world  languages.Jisho  is an easy-to-use Japanese-English dictionary.iCIBA is a high-quality Chinese dictionary.If you’re learning a rarer language, try Lonely Planet phrasebooksâ€"they come in a huge number of languages, including those with scarce online resources. The dictionaries in the back of the books are often extensive enough to outline your  basic, necessary vocabulary, and the phrasebooks themselves are of excellent quality. I used one  myself  to learn decent Hebrew!2. Intermediate:  Mine Sentences for Your SRSYou intermediate learners out there can get a lot more out of your bilingual dictionaries by using a  spaced repetition system (SRS).An SRS  is simply a computer-based flashcard program with a special twist. What makes SRS so special is its algorithm that predicts the rate of human memory decay. I’m sure you’re all familiar with memorizing some phrases or grammar tables, only to forget them one, two or ten days later. SRS fixes that for you!For example, if you make a flashcard with gato on the front and cat on the back, and you guess the correct English answer, the program will wait several days until it s hows you the flashcard again. If you get it wrong, then it will show you the card again immediately, over and over, until you get it right. Then it’ll show you the card one day later, with the time expanding as you become more confident in knowing the word. You end up reviewing difficult cards frequently and easy cards less frequently.FluentU contains its own SRS program that presents you with the vocabulary, phrases, expressions and grammar patterns youve been absorbing from videosâ€"and the cards actually have clips from those videos on them. How cool is that?There are also independent SRS programs you could turn to such as Anki and Mnemosyne.As you can see, SRS has huge implications in learning foreign language vocabulary items. But what’s this talk about sentences?Instead of entering a single target language word on the front of the card and its English translation on the back, you enter an entire sentence on the front, and the English translation (possibly with  an explanat ion of unknown words) on the back. Crazy! I know!  Why would someone do this? Why  shatter  the paradigm of learning individual words?Sentences provide you with context. Context is absolutely essential to efficient language learning. Context of a sentence, paragraph or book allows you to associate words with other things that you know, more so than learning a vocabulary word  in isolation. Thats why FluentU shows you clips of real conversations or songsâ€"the visual and aural context helps you remember the vocabulary items. In terms of grammar, SRS-ing sentences allows you to pick up grammar patterns that would ordinarily take a lot of memorization to learn. By seeing similar grammar patterns over and over, you’ll pick them up naturally.Obviously, for sentence-focused SRS, you’ll need to enter in a huge number of sentencesâ€"in the thousands (Khatzumoto from All Japanese All The Time had 7000 sentences in his SRS by the time he was fluent in Japanese, and  he recommends collecti ng 10,000 sentences!).Where do you find these sentences? Everywhere! You can get them from your textbooks, and, when you’re more advanced, from other media.  It’s clearly easier to mine sentences from written material, which is where your handy-dandy dictionary comes in.High-quality bilingual dictionaries contain example sentences for a word you want to learn, along with their  English translations. It couldn’t get easier! You enter these into your SRS, and you’re golden. Oftentimes, higher priced paper dictionaries work better for this, but here are some online foreign language dictionary resources you can use:WordReference, again. It has the most example sentences for Spanish and French, significantly fewer for German. Not so many for other European languages.Jisho has a lot of sample sentences for Japanese.iCIBA seems to have a lot of Chinese sample sentences, too.3. Advanced: Discover the Wonders of Monolingual DictionariesSo, you’ve outgrown your bilingual dictionarie s, that translate everything neatly (perhaps too neatly) into English for you, and they just don’t have the words or the cultural explanations you’re looking for. They keep shifting your brain into native language mode, which breaks up your immersion time. What to do, what to do?Two words: monolingual dictionaries.With these, you can understand the language using the language itself. Spanish words defined in Spanish, Chinese grammar explained in Chinese!You can dive into these when you’ve reached the high-intermediate stage in terms of reading. I recommend making sure you can understand mainstream literature without heavy use of a dictionary or monolingual dictionaries will be tough. Reading through the definitions in monolingual dictionaries can take a little more time, and you might even find yourself looking up words in the definitions of those words. However, thats a quite effective way to keep growing your vocabulary with plenty of context, relevance and associations that your memory craves.You can SRS the example sentences from monolingual dictionaries, but you can also SRS the definitions. Let’s say you enter in a sentence, but you’re so advanced that you only need to define two words. You look them up in your monolingual dictionary and copy-paste both definitions.But wait! There are words in the definitions that you don’t know! Define those words (embedded definitions) and you’re getting so much understandable language exposure it’s insane. When you start learning from monolingual dictionaries, your abilities improve rapidly.There are tons of good monolingual dictionaries online. Check these out:Word Reference Diccionario Español  or the native Spanish-language dictionary by Real Academia Española  are two great Spanish options.Larousse  is ideal for French.The Free Dictionary  offers a ton of world languages!Dictionaries are some of the cheapest, easiest-to-find language resources.And with these three hacks, your dictionaries will pa y for themselves several times overâ€"even if theyre free!Cheap and  useful dictionaries are cooler than you thought, huh?
