What Is Dalton Chemistry?

What Is Dalton Chemistry?Dalton Chemistry is another popular term used to refer to a type of chemistry course. This course is designed to provide students with a good foundation in basic principles and applications of chemistry. It can be used by anyone from adults to young students to help them prepare for a career in the field of chemistry.A student may begin with a beginners' lesson plan, which will lay the ground work for their studies. This will include the main study areas, the laboratory and hands on labs, learning exercises and tests. These steps should be taken carefully to ensure the students have a good understanding of what is expected. As students progress through the lessons the level of detail and depth will increase.Throughout the study of Dalton Chemistry the student is required to be patient and open to change in the learning procedure. The assessment of both performance and knowledge is important and will form the basis of any future teaching and learning procedure .The introductory level is useful as a place to get students acquainted with the main concepts of the course. An overview of both the laboratory and the curriculum of the course will be covered. This will provide the student with an idea of how their class will progress.During the laboratory, students are encouraged to use either silicon carbide or lead sulphide. Students will need to make their own determinations as well as learn how to read and interpret lab notes. At the end of the laboratory students are expected to have completed a calculation.At the end of the classroom work a written lab report and test will be presented. The following week, the student will again have to give a performance assessment. Dalton Chemistry is an ideal course for students wishing to work in a variety of areas of science including biology, geology, chemistry, meteorology, microbiology, microbiology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, computer science, chemistry and the environment. There are courses av ailable on this subject.

What is it Like to Attend Knox College

What is it Like to Attend Knox College Rachel earned her bachelors degree in secondary education from Knox College. She specializes in AP Human Geography tutoring, SAT Reading tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Below, she shares her experience at Knox College: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Rachel: Knox College is located in Galesburg, a small city in western Illinois. Since Galesburg is small, many things that Knox students like to do are within a reasonable walking distance from the school. The campus dominates a sleepy section of the town about four blocks away from the Galesburg Amtrak station. Since the Amtrak goes to Chicago (about a three hour trip), youll see Knox College students on the train every weekend. Theres a bus system in Galesburg, but it can be inefficient. Since everythings so close, your best bet is to walk or bike in the warmer months. Though Galesburg does not have a spectacular bike system, most students find biking to be a great option. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Rachel:Knox professors are well-published and conduct extensive research, and they strive to include interested students in their research projects. Many of my classmates have been published in prominent academic journals because of their work with Knox professors. Students are able to choose their own academic adviser after they declare their major, so students are often able to find advisers who understand their academic style and their personal goals and challenges. Advisers are very understanding and act as advocates for their advisees. How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Rachel:I loved dorm life at Knox! Most students live on campus, even juniors and seniors. This was an amazing experience, because it increased the likelihood of those random social encounters that lead to lifelong friendships. The dorm buildings themselves are clean and a fairly decent size. Students at Knox love being active on campus. From the creative types hanging painted bottles on trees, to the friendly, yet surprisingly competitive, Ultimate Frisbee players, you will definitely run into folks who are doing cool stuff and want you to join. Students at Knox are incredibly inclusive, so its very easy to get involved with all sorts of formal and informal student groups. There are a couple of different dining halls that serve decent buffet-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Theres also a very nice gym, indoor and outdoor track, and pool free to all students. Though I was not involved in athletics, about a third of the campus was. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Rachel:Knox students are interested in a wide variety of topics. The focus of any program in a liberal arts college is to build critical thinking, writing, and analytical abilities, so all of the programs at Knox encourage these skills. Knox also has strong science programs, particularly in chemistry and biology. Students have a multitude of opportunities to conduct high-level research alongside Knoxs science professors. I chose to major in secondary education. The program at Knox allowed me to explore the strengths and problems of K-12 public education in America. I really enjoyed my student teaching term teaching social studies at Galesburg High School. 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? Rachel:Knoxs small size and their focus on recruiting students from a wide variety of backgrounds and interests makes finding good friends very easy, regardless of what activities you choose to participate in. Students who do their homework in the Gizmo or the Roger Taylor lounge will often find a friendly bunch of people to hang out with while they do so. There are many organized groups and activities for students, and its very easy to become involved in anything. About a quarter of campus is involved in Greek life at Knox. Students at Knox join Greek organizations for the friendships, networking, leadership, and philanthropy opportunities. Since there are a bevy of other student groups and organizations at Knox, however, non-Greek students involved in any club get these opportunities as well. How helpful are the Career Center and other student support services? Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Rachel:I must admit that the Career Center at Knox was a bit disappointing in my time there. Most students at Knox are interested in graduate school, creative vocations, and social justice work, so there aren't too many recruiters for big commercial companies on our campus. Knoxs best strength in career services is the opportunity the school offers its students to make close, personal connections with their professors, who are often able to guide students toward job prospects that might not be advertised on standard job listing boards. Knox also offers strong internship programs. Many of my classmates who were interested in business and law were able to find job opportunities after graduation through Knoxs internship programs. How are the various study areas such as libraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Rachel:The study settings at Knox are top-notch. Seymour Library, the main library, is huge. Its equipped with comfortable furniture and each floor has a designated volume level. Chat with your friends on the first floor, do your group projects on the second floor, and enjoy quiet time on the third floor. Theres also an extensive science library in SMC (the Science and Math Center), as well as a music and performing arts library in CFA (Center for Fine Arts). The only times I ever noticed study or work spaces being overly crowded were in the computer labs during finals week. Describe the surrounding town. Rachel:Galesburg is a small city in the middle of the vast cornfields of western Illinois.The people who live in Galesburg are down-to-Earth, kind, and invariably full of interesting stories. The downtown area of Galesburg is within six blocks of Knox campus, so students visit frequently. Something special about Knox is the Green Oaks nature facility, about 45 minutes away from campus. Green Oaks is a restored forest maintained by Knox, and all students and alumni are welcome to camp there. Knox offers the Green Oaks term every other yearan off-campus study experience where students study environmental science, conduct anthropological research, or work on their creative projects. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Rachel:Class size is one of the biggest reasons to attend Knox. The school is pretty small, but not so tiny that you run into the same people everywhere you go. Most of my classes had under 15 students, which allows students a lot of opportunities to make strong connections with their professors and their fellow classmates. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one you regret the most. Rachel:My course in anthropology and human origins with Jon Wagner was one of the most interesting classes Ive ever taken. Every class would start with Jon wheeling in a large cart full of hominid skull replicas for us to examine. Check out Rachels tutoring profile.

Adjectives to Pair with Your Wine

Adjectives to Pair with Your Wine For the past few weeks, Teauna has been teaching  a student who is a boutique wine producer in Italy. Shes getting ready to come to the U.S. and begin selling her wines, so the topic of conversation in their classes has been, big surprise, wine.Talking about wine is interesting, because it brings up a lot of adjectives that are used in novel ways. I was thinking about that this week, and remembered the comedy Sideways, about two men on a road trip in Californias wine country.The clip below isnt funny, but is uses some great adjectives to talk about wine. If you want a funnier clip from the movie, check this one out.Watch the video below, then try to answer the listening questions.

E=MC2 Why Equations are Relative[ly] Important for Scoring High on the MCAT

E=MC2 Why Equations are Relative[ly] Important for Scoring High on the MCAT MCAT Medical School Admissions The Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems section of the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is conceptually one of the most difficult sections of the exam. With 59 questions in a 95-minute span, it integrates and tests dense subjects such as biochemistry, biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. This section not only requires a conceptual understanding of these topics, but also tests the student’s ability to interpret, analyze, and calculate the answer to complex problems. Because of this, it is vital that students know many equations cold prior to entering the test. Here we will provide you with recommendations for creating equation sheets and methods for memorizing them. To best equip yourself for test day, it is essential that you have a reliable list of equations. Many students choose to compile their own during the content review portion of their study schedule. Because the section is highly integrated, this allows students to organize the equations in a way that makes the most sense to them and allows them to group and memorize these equations. If you are looking for a starting point for an equation sheet, Free MCAT Prep and Gold Standard have many of the necessary equations listed. Keep in mind that some students will need more equations explicitly written down so make sure to compare these lists to your primary content review resource so that you are not missing any equations you may personally need to commit to memory. Now that you have started compiling your equation list, your next step is to begin memorizing. This is a daunting task for most students, and I can tell you that mass memorization of equations will follow you in medical school when you take courses like pharmacokinetics. Because of this, it is extremely helpful to equip yourself with methods for memorizing large lists and blocks of information such as this. While there are many memorization tools for this, we will focus on two methods for memorizing equations: chunking and relationships. Chunking is arguably the most common method for memorizing these equations. The key is to smart with small chunks of information and then build on your knowledge. Begin by memorizing, for example, the equations for kinematics in physics. Get a blank sheet of paper out and write ‘kinematics’ at the top and number the page with the number of equations you are required to know for kinematics. Then set a timer for 30 seconds to a minute and write as many of the equations as you can. When the timer runs out, pull out your formula sheet and write down the formulas you forgot or wrote incorrectly in red on your practice sheet. Repeat this process until you can write your kinematics formulas without any corrections. And as you learn each section of formulas, you begin testing sections together in the same practice until eventually you are reproducing your entire formula sheet from memory. A couple of quick tips on reproducing the entire formula sheet: it helps to have the categories memo rized in order and the number of required formulas that correspond to these categories. Often students create their own mnemonic to help with this or develop a method of reciting the categories and numbers to themselves. This process can be done in a week or two weeks but is best done over the entire course of your test preparation if you have time. Focusing on relationships between equations can also greatly improve your conceptual understanding of the relationships between physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. This is what defines the high scorers on this section of the MCAT. Rather than just ‘plugging and chugging’, this requires you to understand the units and relationships between the variables in the equations and how you can utilize multiple equations to get to your desired result. This becomes especially important in the electrical section of physics where there are many shared variables between equations and you can often manipulate multiple equations to produce other equations you have memorized. As you memorize equations, try to focus on what happens, for example, to acceleration if you increase mass. If the force is constant, we know that the acceleration must decrease linearly if we increase mass (F=ma). While this seems simple, it becomes more complex in later sections of physics and chemistry . Finally, understanding how to manipulate units to get desired units is extremely helpful in deriving forgotten equations with even just a conceptual understanding of this section. With these methods, this should help you overcome the daunting task of memorizing pages of equations! The time and effort you put toward studying these equations will result in confidence on test day and hopefully produce great increases in your score. Best of luck!

Mental Health Transformation Blog Getting Started

Mental Health Transformation Blog Getting Started pexels.com However, I’ve done quite a bit of research on different classes, and quickly realized that there isn’t enough time in the day to add something like this to my schedule. Then, I came across YogaGlo Online, which offers classes online for individuals that aren’t near the California location of the studio. The biggest perk is that the online option makes it easier than ever to get fit without having to leave the house. Another perk is for those that are beginning yoga and uncomfortable with going to a studio to learn, as there’s now an option to participate without an audience until you’re more comfortable with your skills. That’s probably the aspect that I’m the most excited about, as I truly have no flexibility and no idea what I’m doing. The program offers teachers that work specifically with beginner-level classes, more intensive classes, travel classes, etc. So really, there’s a class for everyone. The other draw to this yoga site is that there are meditation classes offered as well, combining the physical fitness with the mental fitness into one, all-inclusive workout. This has been missing from my life up until this point, so I’m very much excited to get started on both aspects at the same time. Of course, the program doesn’t come without costs, as it’s going to run $15 a week, but considering the cost of a single class in an actual studio, I think that this is a bargain. Plus, I feel there are more choices to be made individually and that I’m not necessarily working around someone else’s schedule, but choosing options that make the most sense for me. Especially for college students, this is a very important aspect of the program. While many campus recreation centers do offer yoga and meditation classes, they are typically scheduled and in-person, which may be preferred to some, but certainly not to me. Plus, the amount of sheer stress placed on college students makes meditation all the more valuable, so it’s certainly something to consider. There are other online programs (and a few Youtube channels) specifically dedicated to yoga and meditation and offered for free, which fits in literally everyone’s budget. So the options are out there, you just have to do a little digging for them. Anyway, this new mental health initiative is something that I’m excited to begin, and I’m hoping that it’ll translate over into my physical health as well. The goal is to add yoga and meditation to a part of my daily routine, which will prevent me, at least for 120 minutes, from sitting on the couch and watching Netflix. I’m also hoping that it’ll entice me to try to eat healthier foods, adding more vegetables and fruits to my diet and removing the unwanted sugars completely. Either way, this is a healthy step in the right direction, so it’s something that I plan to dedicate myself to. So my healthy routine is going to begin on May 29, and I encourage everyone to join me on this journey. All you have to do is sign up for YogaGlo (which offers a 15-day free trial, just in case you aren’t sure the program is for you) and I’ll keep you posted as I begin my daily mental health routine! Join the classes that sound best for you and let me know your thoughts! College students across the country should value their mental health, and this is a great way to do so with minimal cost and time commitments!

6 Delicious Dishes to Try in Italy

6 Delicious Dishes to Try in Italy Image via: www.pixabay.com Creamy Gnocchi If you’re a fan of Olive Garden’s chicken and gnocchi soup (if you have not tried it, you are definitely missing out on something magical), trying creamy gnocchi on its own will be a beautiful experience for you. Gnocchi is a thick and heavy potato dumpling, and it is incredibly delicious! Gnocchi is usually served with a creamy, thick sauce that is similar to Alfredo sauce. It is also available with a delicious amount of parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Creamy gnocchi is a perfect appetizer or side dish to a fantastic meal. However, in Italy, it tends to be a pretty expensive dish despite it being such a small meal. Image via: Wikimedia Commons Prosciutto Are you a bacon fan? If so, prosciutto just might be your cup of tea. Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham that is normally cut into very thin slices and served raw. In Italian, it is called prosciutto cudo. It is a household name all over the Italian countryside, especially in the kitchens of Italy. It is an absolute must-eat food in Italy. It is typically eaten as an appetizer for almost any meal. There are a number of things that you can try with prosciutto, like serving it with gnocchi, topping a pizza with it, or wrapping it around mozzarella. Such a creative and tasty food cannot be missed when you are in Italy! Image via: Wikipedia Carbonara You might have tried carbonara back home, but in Italy, it is an entirely different story. The delicious Italian dish is typically made with spaghetti pasta, but depending on the restaurant you go to, it might be served with linguine, bucatini, rigatoni, and fettucini. The dish is made with eggs, cheese, bacon, and black pepper. If you are a pasta lover, which I’m sure you are, carbonara is a must-eat while you are in Italy! Image via: Wikimedia Commons Gelato If you are an ice cream lover like I am, gelato will put you on a fast course to the heavens of sugary treats. This delicious Italian wonder is made with a milk base, cream, and sugar just like ice cream! It can also be flavored with fruits, nuts, and other toppings. While there are probably many ice cream parlors or frozen yogurt joints that serve gelato near you, nothing will compare to gelato in its country of origin. So what are you waiting for? Grab a spoon and get some! Image via: www.pixabay.com Tiramisu Speaking of dessert, have you ever tried tiramisu? You have probably heard the name in that awesome Macklemore song, but once you try it, you will definitely find your jam. It is an absolute classic dessert in Italy with many moderations. Tiramisu is a coffee-flavored custard dessert, made of miniature bananas (otherwise known as ladyfingers) that are coated in coffee, and coated in whipped eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, right before being flavored with chocolate. Cater to your inner sweet tooth and try one of the most famous Italian desserts. Image via: www.pixabay.com Margherita Pizza Well, we all knew this was coming. What is a trip to Italy without eating a plate of delicious pizza? Margherita pizza is a far step beyond your typical doorstep delivery service. This pizza, which originated in Naples, has a variety of forms: large, crispy, small, doughy anything you want! It is basically your freshly made personal pizza that you can modify into the dish of your dreams. Margherita pizza is similar to your typical pizza, topped with tomato sauce and cheese, but its flatbread and toppings make it something a little more magical. Step outside your culinary comfort zone and try it!

8 Different Jobs In Marketing To Explore

8 Different Jobs In Marketing To Explore Pexels.com Here are eight different jobs in marketing. 1. Consultant Consultants, unlike many other jobs which require only a degree or specialization in marketing, require some specialization in something else. A consultant helps people make specific decisions in certain areas that they have extensive knowledge about. Essentially, a consultant advises their clients about the best routes of action to take based on their previous knowledge and expertise. 2. Advertising Advertising doesn’t very well narrow down what an advertising marketer does. This is because advertisers are often involved with so many other jobs that it can be difficult to separate. Advertisers work with all the other marketing jobs to create the perfect way to promote and sell a good or service. They utilize all of the other specialists to coordinate social media, brands, and research to develop an advertisement. Many advertisers will specialize in one form of advertising like print or broadcast, though online advertising is increasing exponentially. 3. Social Media Your parents may believe that all your time spent on social media is a waste, but it could actually turn into a genuine career. Because more and more people turn to social media for news and updates, the traditional forms of information are dying out. This means that companies need to utilize and capitalize on the capitalistic effects of social media. People working in social media will usually run an account and post specific pictures, responses, and contests to gain more followers and promote the product or brand. 4. Communications Like advertising, specifying what someone in communications does is a mixed bag. They do almost everything, but their main goal is to keep everyone within and working with a company in good communication. This means lots and lots of organization, reminders, and people skills to help avoid conflicts between departments and other companies. Communications workers are crucial especially to large scale companies that must keep many parts working together smoothly. Pexels.com 5. Market Research For the advertisers and everyone else to do their jobs well, they need to have information and data regarding the success of their advertisements. This is where the market researchers come in. Market researchers are the ones who analyze and collect data on the company’s market campaigns. They may try out new placements and looks and then decide whether or not this has improved their profit. Market researchers will also conduct surveys and focus groups to get immediate feedback from customers that will then be implemented. 6. Brand Management Brand managers often work in close contact with the market researchers and social media developers to create the perfect image for their company. They’ll often try out new looks and ideas until they discover a logo and then continue to update it over the years. They’ll oversee the advertisers and the social media managers to make sure their look remains consistent with the overall brand theme. They work to find this brand theme and maintain it. 7. Public Relations People in public relations work in a very similar way to the communications department. However, where communications workers find the best ways for the company to communicate with each other, public relations managers work to communicate with, you guessed it, the public. Public relations workers often coordinate press releases and other ways official news is released to the public. It is essential that the company remains in good terms with the public by being careful with correct terms and licensing. If there does happen to be a scandal or issue, it is the job of the public relations department to resolve it. 8. Sales Representative While many of the other jobs work mainly with corporations and associates, sales representatives have a lot more opportunity to work directly with customers. Sales representatives will speak, usually on a one on one basis, with customers about how the product works and why they should spend money on it. They must use their own marketing strategies to convince different types of people from all walks of life. Sales representatives must be friendly, personable, and able to deal with the rejection you may face from many customers. With all that marketing has to offer, finding a job that suits your taste shouldn’t be too difficult. Whatever your interests are, marketing provides great opportunities to create and enhance your career. Choosing marketing will both challenge and reward you.

Chemists Should Use Chemistry Subject Test Practice

Chemists Should Use Chemistry Subject Test PracticeChemistry subject test practice tests are becoming increasingly popular as a teaching tool. This is for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that science can be an exciting subject with limitless possibilities.But don't worry, you don't have to take a test right away. You should begin studying for the exam in your spare time, and not the exact same classes that you will take to pass your chemistry class. In fact, you may want to go back and take some additional chemistry coursework.You can use the subject test practice you have already taken for research. Take it as a template for a future assignment or question. Most of the time, tests will ask similar questions, so you can see how easy it will be to fill in the blanks on this test. The entire purpose of a test is to help you master the skills and concepts that you need to pass.A student taking a test in the first year of study can often be overwhelmed by all the information involved. They don't have time to learn it all and don't even know where to start. The best way to prepare for chemistry subject test practice is to first sit down and figure out which topics you need to learn. Some of the easier concepts include: composition, physical properties, equilibrium, ionic equilibrium, chemical bonding, and water and gas mixtures.If you haven't studied or even heard of the concepts that fall under chemical bonding, then you might want to skip ahead. Chemistry subject test practice will help you answer the questions in the best way possible. It's possible that, because the test is so different from the real thing, you may think about topics that aren't even in your coursework. But you can rest assured that the test isn't giving you answers based on anything but what you've learned.On the other hand, if you're already studying chemistry for the real exam, you'll find that subject test practice helps you to hone your critical thinking skills and give you confidence that you'll be able to pass the test. Answering the same questions over again only serves to reinforce the concepts that you already know. These topics will help you become better at solving problems, so that you will make more accurate predictions about how things will turn out.Now that you know why you should practice on chemistry subject test practice, you can use this information to make sure that you'll do well on the real exam. And don't worry about studying for the real exam!
