Synthesis Problems - Organic Chemistry

Synthesis Problems - Organic ChemistryMolecular Chemistry is often called Synthesis Problems and the syllabus consists of four topics of Organic Chemistry, Molecular Chemistry, Solid State Chemistry and Computational Methods. The main problem in Molecular Chemistry is to make a solid in a liquid environment and the main problem in Solid State Chemistry is to calculate the exact mass of the isolated molecules. There are also two additional topics which take up a section of Organic Chemistry, namely Organometallics and Relativistic Photonics.Tests in this course usually consist of four to six multiple choice questions. It can be concluded that this is a more rigorous assessment than normal. It is a mandatory subject for admission to a good university, as it prepares the student for a career in science or medicine. Tests will normally consist of several subjects but the first three are the only ones that matter.As it is the case with all other high school subjects, the subjects are sepa rated into subjects for the sophomore and junior level. However, during a freshman year, one has to study one of the two disciplines if he wants to get into a competitive college. The courses are separated into their parts so that students can take only the subjects that interest them. Once the senior year has been completed, the student is free to choose among the other subjects.This section of Organic Chemistry is for students who want to pursue the advanced studies in synthetic biology. The two types of courses for synthetic biology are Theoretical and Laboratory Biology. Those who go for Theoretical Biology are required to have passed the Logic and Critical Reasoning in Biology class in high school. Those who opt for Laboratory Biology are also required to have passed the Biological Sciences II.The student is required to study one of two branches of Organic Chemistry: molecular or organic and the properties of nature. The difference between Molecular and Organic Chemistry is tha t in Molecular Chemistry one is trying to understand the interactions between different natural elements and how they change the chemical structure of the atoms. Organic Chemistry is more on theoretical aspects of chemical reactions.A very common mistake made by students in Organic Chemistry is mixing two branches of the subject. In fact, the way to differentiate them is by their respective starting point.The two branches of synthetic biology are applied and computational. Students of Applied Organic Chemistry should have got a passing grade in Biology II, while those in computational Organic Chemistry should have done a high enough grade in Biology II. Those who fail both these branches of the subject are required to sit for the IB level exams.

Holiday traditions from around the world

Holiday traditions from around the world It’s an exciting time of the year in countries all over the world. Here are some unique seasonal traditions teachers in Japan, Scandinavia, and, Kazakhstan will get to enjoy over the holiday season. The Japanese New Year Kadomatsu Teaching in Japan allows the opportunity to witness the Japanese New Year celebrations. The Japanese are always enthusiastic to welcome a new year. Amidst the celebration and decor is an interesting and unique decoration called the kadomatsu. It appears from after Christmas Day through the first week of July. The kadomatsu is always presented in a pair at the entryway to a building or space; one is placed on either side of the entrance. They’re made from pine and bamboo and are placed to welcome the spirits of the harvest. The Scandinavian Yuletide Log You’re likely familiar with the presence of the yuletide log (in person, on TV, and as a nickname for a popular seasonal dessert) as well as the symbol of the fireplace during the holiday season. But what you might not know is that the this tradition originated from the Scandinavian countries of northern Europe. The tradition of ensuring a fire was lit began as a way to maintain light during the darkest days of the year - in one of the darkest places in the world. Originally, Scandinavians burned whole trees! Now, a holiday log in the fireplace is common in many countries around the world. The Kazakh Snow Father Like the Japanese, the people of Kazakhstan thoroughly enjoy celebrating the beginning of a new year. Celebrations begin near the beginning of December and build as the month approaches the 1st of January. Instead of celebrating Christmas, emphasis is all on New Year’s Eve and New Year's Day, but there are some familiarities to western society’s Christmas: there’s a New Year’s Tree as well as a Snow Father (who resembles Santa Claus) and a Snow Maiden who deliver New Year’s presents to children. Even better, Kazakhstan is almost always a snowy winter wonderland during the holiday season!

Teacher engagement and the pursuit of happiness (Part 4)

Teacher engagement and the pursuit of happiness (Part 4) Ash Pugh, Director of Operations at Teach Away In the final installment of our four-part series, we look at the third part of the recruitment, onboarding and retention cycle: retention. Paving the road to retention According to Dr. Jurewicz’s research, 63% of teachers surveyed intended to stay in their current roles beyond two years. Conversely, only 43% of teachers intended to stay after year three. This highlights the challenge that international schools face on a regular basis when it comes to sustaining staff levels. Even when teachers are relatively happy, the lure of travel (among many other potential factors) can draw them away. So, what can you do to entice teachers to stick around longer and maintain the strong foundation of faculty that you’ve worked so hard to build at your school? To help answer that question, we asked our candidates what they value most in their jobs: Top factors for on-the-job happiness Source: Teach Away, International Education Recruitment Report 2017-2018. Download the complete report at www.teachaway.com/report. 1. Make opportunities for growth at your school. By training teachers and investing in their career development, you can make them feel valued by your school. Beyond training, it’s vital to ensure your new hires know that there’s room to grow professionally through opportunities to lead within their department or subject area. It also stands to reason that when your teachers feel they’re able to do their jobs more effectively, they become more confident and secure in their roles and are less likely to look elsewhere. 2. Involve teachers in the hiring process You depend on your teachers for input on other vital school matters. So why not involve them in the hiring of new employees? Think of it - they’re going to be working alongside any new hires and will be just as invested in finding the right teachers as you are. Their familiarity with your school culture and values also gives them unmatched insight into the candidates who could be a great fit for your school community. And now that we understand why recruitment needs to be an ongoing process, this can also be a great way to relieve yourself of some of the demands of recruitment. More than that, though - you’re keeping your current teachers engaged and allowing them to develop a new skill set, to grow professionally by encouraging them to stay invested in your school’s future success. In short, you're making them want to stay around. Professional growth for your teachers leads to retention for your school. 3. Let them be responsible for new teacher onboarding Nobody knows the challenges of relocating abroad better than those who have already done it. Empower your existing staff to take the lead on passing along their experiences and preparing incoming staff for their new environment. Again, you’ll see dual benefits as your new hires are supported with a robust onboarding process and existing teachers are able to take on leadership roles. So there you have it - by embracing these actionable teacher recruitment, onboarding and retention strategies, your school will be well on its way to attracting and retaining the best international teachers, even in an increasingly competitive hiring landscape This article originally appeared in the Spring 2018 edition of InterED, the bi-annual newsletter of the Association for the Advancement of International Education (AAIE).

Real Chemistry - How Childrens Games Can Teach Chemistry

Real Chemistry - How Children's Games Can Teach ChemistryReal Chemistry is a new chemistry game that many people have been waiting for, especially kids. The first time I saw this game I thought it was just a throwaway game at an online store but then I saw some other games with the same concept.The easy way to see the obvious impact that this game has on children is simply by watching the reviews of other children's games. Most of the reviews are positive and fun. These are not reviews of Real Chemistry however, they are more about these games that claim they can teach kids how to make their own fake compounds and how to use them to learn about chemical reactions.This game teaches kids the fundamental principles of chemistry. You begin the game by choosing from different colors. These colors signify a reaction between two or more compounds. The colors are blue, green, yellow, red, white, black, brown, and orange.Orange is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. This is the basic molecule that makes up everything from water to chocolate. Oxygen and hydrogen are usually two compounds that cannot mix together but this can be changed by adding something else.Your goal is to mix your compounds into one of the seven different colors and you will also need to mix two other colors together to make a colored mixture. The reaction that will take place is based on the number of molecules that you have created in your mix. For example, if you want to make a brown colored mixture, you should try to mix more than the amount of orange molecules you started with.Once the game is over you will notice that the changes in color will be apparent on the yellow compound, orange and red. But don't worry too much, you can always go back and re-do your mix if you think you made a mistake and change it to something else.The game also gives the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind reaction that can only be found in the game. It's fun to see what you can come up with when the color combinatio ns are chosen carefully. It's also a good way to introduce your child to chemistry without making a chemical bomb out of the most common elements.

Tutoring Rate in Singapore

Tutoring Rate in SingaporeYou may wonder whether there is a tutoring rate in Singapore. Many students are under the impression that, because they live in an English speaking country, tutors are few and far between. However, Singapore is home to several government-run and private tutoring centers, which offer both local and international English lessons.Since the number of students who are learning English has increased, the number of teachers has also expanded. All the government-run tutoring centers require that their tutors are certified teachers. A licensed tutor is an essential component of the Singapore school system. Any student wishing to study the English language in Singapore must have a tutor.As long as they have sufficient knowledge in the English language, both private and government tutors are able to cater to the needs of students. The government provides funds for private and public tutoring centers. Private tutors are typically taught by high-level language experts, w hereas, the government does not provide funding for private English teachers.International English teachers are normally hired by private English tutors in Singapore, but those in the government's sector usually offer less expensive tuition fees. Students who want to earn more can choose to enroll in a school that has a government contract, in which case, the fees will be subsidized.It is possible to get private tutors from Australia, China, India, New Zealand, Singapore, and USA. Individuals who want to know about all the options available to them may visit the websites of those tutoring centers. If you are interested in learning English, ask the parents or guardians about the fees that they would like to pay.There are many different schools for overseas students, which are very popular because of the guarantee that the educational institutions are committed to the standards set by the Ministryof Education. Parents must understand that their children are free to choose whichever in stitution that they feel comfortable with. They can contact the school directly and inquire about the fee structure, and if the students are required to pay extra if they have already paid for the college or university education.In case you have more than five international students at a time, you must prepare a budget. You should keep in mind the various expenses that you will incur when the students study in your Singapore house. This is because tuition fees, medical expenses, food, etc, will add up.

Online Square Root of 9 Tutors

Online Square Root of 9 Tutors Square root of a number is represented by a square root radical sign . The square root of a number can be calculated by simplifying the radical by writing the numbers prime factors. In order to find the square root of 9, we split 9 into its prime factors which is 3 * 3. Hence 9 = (3 * 3) = 3. 9 is called as the perfect square since its square root gives a perfect number instead of a radical or decimal number. Example 1: What is the value of the expression, 16 + 9? Here each square root radical should be simplified further. 16= (2 * 2 * 2 * 2). Now pull out the number which is repeating twice inside the radical. This gives: 16= 2 * 2 = 4 And 9 = 3. So, 16 + 9 = 4 + 3 = 7. Hence the simplified form of the expression 16 + 9 is = 7. Example 2: What is the value of the expression, 25 - 9? Here each square root radical should be simplified further. 25= (5 * 5). Now pull out the number which is repeating twice inside the radical. This gives: 25 = 5 And 9 = 3. So, 25 + 9 = 5 - 3 = 2. Hence the simplified form of the expression 25 - 9 is = 2.
