Khan Academys Chemistry Courses: Creative and Unique

Khan Academy's Chemistry Courses: Creative and UniqueKhan Academy, a self-paced, online course that offers a general chemistry curriculum is one of the hottest and most popular chemistry courses of the year. Its popularity has led to it being featured in magazines, at the movies, on television, and even in the United States Congress.It has helped change the world for science teachers everywhere, as it has made chemistry education more accessible and creative than ever before. Students from all over the country are using Khan Academy to make their own chemical reactions in a fun, interactive way.The classes work with students from all different backgrounds and with every kind of chemistry background. Whether they have never touched a chemistry book or chemistry formula, they can all enjoy learning. So many students are using the Khan Academy General Chemistry curriculum that its popularity has spawned a whole other line of chemistry courses.In the past, chemistry teachers had to choos e from a handful of textbooks and reading materials to help their students understand their chemistry concepts. Some of the materials may have had pictures, but the actual chemistry descriptions were written out in boring, monotonous sentences. This was a real problem because not many chemistry teachers have the time to spend doing this.This lack of accessibility was not unique to chemistry; it happened to all subjects. It was an opportunity for chemistry teachers everywhere to take advantage of what technology has brought to the classroom. Khan Academy has enabled chemistry teachers to be able to produce a much more creative and unique chemistry curriculum than ever before.As mentioned, students can take Khan Academy courses about any chemistry topic they want. It also has math and reading categories, but these are not as interactive as the chemistry courses.Khan Academy also provides the chemistry teacher with other resources such as review material and practice questions. This is another benefit for chemistry teachers, who could use these tools to prepare for their lessons. You can always find more information about these resources at Khan Academy.

The Worst College Majors for Your Future

The Worst College Majors for Your Future Infographic by Danielle Wirsansky One You Are Not Interested In A bad mistake to make is to major in a field that you are not really interested in. Why is that? For one, you are not going to enjoy your classes. Can you really endure 4 years of classes doing something you do not particularly care about? Which leads to the question, can you then go and spend the rest of your life doing it, day in and day out, too? Majoring in something you are not interested in is also very boring. More than not enjoying it, you will be bored out of your mind as you will not really be engaged with what you are doing. Can you fathom a lifetime of being bored? Another issue is that when you are not engaged with your work, you do not work as hard at it. You want to be successful in life, and a large part of that does have to do with your career. And to be successful in your career, you have got to work hard at it. How hard can you work at something you do not really care about? This leads us to… One Based On Income Another factor that you should not let control your decision of what to major in while in college is the projected income you will make at that job. Note the word choice of the previous sentence. A major’s financial viability should not, at the end of the day, control your decision of what career to have. But it is okay to let it influence it. You want and have got to be doing a job that engages you and that you can not only bear but withstand working your entire life at. Yet you also want to make sure that you can afford to take care of yourself and live at a comfortable level. No one likes to struggle. Maybe your dream is to be an artist, but you are afraid of being a starving artist. You have to think of it this way: not every artist struggles. But the artists that are truly successful are successful due to a combination of luck and hard, hard work. A lot of the time, most of the time, in fact, you have to work really hard in order to be successful (not just as an artist but in all other fields as well). Are you willing to work as hard as you may need to in order to support yourself doing what you love? And is that field what you truly love? Do you truly love that field enough to work as hard you may need to in order to stay afloat financially? These are all really important questions to consider when deciding which college major is the right one for you, but you should not let how much money you could potentially make be the only factor in your decision. Your future happiness is at stake, so it is a fine line to walk. Think of it this way: Money can’t buy you happiness, but it does keep bread on the table. One Influenced By Outside Sources Another major that you should avoid choosing is one influenced by outside sources. Who are these outside sources, you may ask? These can be your family, for one. Your family wants what is best for you, but sometimes they can be blind to the most obvious things. “You should be a doctor like your mother!” someone might say. However, they fail to remember that you faint at the sight of blood, that your stomach churns at the mention of bodily functions, and that smell of anti-septic leaves a bitter, acrid taste in your mouth. “You should major in business like your brother!” a relative might suggest. But do they realize that you would have to take Business Calculus in order to get that degree? You might not suck at math, but you are just not calculus minded. I mean, you barely scraped through Calculus AB in high school! It was torture, pure tortureâ€"how are you going to be able to go through that again? And can you really see yourself in a career where you need to know and have to use calculus on a regular basis? “What about being a Theatre major? You were always so good in the school play!” another person could recommend. And maybe that was true. Maybe you rocked it whenever you were in a school play. Or maybe you failed spectacularly and were awful, a hot mess on the stage (though it is very nice of that person to compliment you in spite of that). And while you had fun playing around on the stage, it is not really something you could see yourself doing forever. The idea of doing the same show for more than a weekend? Preposterous! How do actors in a professional run not get sick of playing the same part for weeks, months, sometimes even years on end? And being an actor requires a person to be vulnerable, to lay their souls bare on the stage for an audience day after day. That might not be something you feel quite comfortable doing. Maybe community theatre is a better fit for you, rather than the rigorous demands of being a professional actor. You want to live up to others expectations and you do not want to let your family down. Sometimes, they might even be applying pressure on you to make what they think the right choice is. However, the only person who really knows the right choice for you is you and you cannot allow someone to push or force you to live out their idea of what your life should be because in the end, it is your life and you are the one who is going to have to live it and bear the consequences of it, not them. You. So make the choice that feels right to you, not because someone told you that you had to. pexels.com One That Your Friends Are Doing This point continues on from the previous one. Another specific, outside source that could influence your decision n regards to your major is your friends. You love your friends. In fact, you adore them. You wish you could spend all your time with themâ€"why not choose the same major as them so that you can take all of your classes together? You can intern at the same places. Maybe you can even work at the same place after you graduate? Or maybe your friends are really cool, and you want to be as awesome as them. Look how put together they are. They know exactly what they are doing and what they need to do in order to be successfulâ€"and they are doing it. Meanwhile, you have not got a clue what you want to do or how to accomplish any of the things that you want to. So why not be like them? Pick the same major, take the same classes, follow the course that they have already set. It is not like you can copy a whole life, right? The problem with these kinds of thoughts is that you are just riding on the tailcoats of someone else’s life and success. You are thinking about instant gratificationâ€"you want to make the present easier and happier. But your major is a long-term decision. It is a decision that you will have to live with your whole life. What happens when you graduate from college and go your separate ways? Who will chart the course of your life for you then? Will you be happy where you are when those same friends are not around to buoy you 24/7? You cannot depend on your friends for your happiness. They have their own lives, their own issues, and their own private struggles just like you do. If you lean too heavily on them during your college years, when else will you have an opportunity to grow and learn to support yourself? Once you are out of college, that is it, you are done. You will no longer be coddled. You will lose a whole lot of support. So learning to stand on your own two feet while in college is incredibly important. Remember the old adage: if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too? Think for yourself and depend on yourself. Share the ride with your friends, do not make them drive the car too. pexels.com One You Have Not Investigated To round off the list of majors that you should not choose, another important major to avoid is one that you have not investigated. Maybe a major sounds glamorous or you think the jobs you can get will make you a lot of money. But did you know that a business major has to take calculus? Did you know that being pre-med means you might have to dissect some animals? Did you know that majoring theatre means hours and hours and days and days of rehearsal, most of which is outside of class time? Investigate possible majors, and investigate them thoroughly. Know what you are getting into before you sign up for it. The Real Deal You have made it this far into the article, so you really must be invested in making the right decision for your major in college. And most likely what you wanted rather than quandaries to ponder and questions to contemplate was a concrete list, some cold hard facts, about what you should or should not major in. While of course there is no black and white answer, there are majors that statistically have higher unemployment rates and lower degree satisfaction, which should also be a factor in your decision regarding your major. Top Twenty Majors With The Highest Rates of Unemployment History Computer and Information Systems Criminal Justice and Fire Protection Linguistics and Comparative Language and Literature English Language and Literature Physical Sciences Psychology Political Science and Government Sociology Fine Arts Physical Fitness, Parks, Recreation, and Leisure Commercial Art and Graphic Design Economics Communications Finance Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies Biology Business Management and Administration: Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Top Twenty Majors With the Lowest Degree Satisfaction Plumbing Mining Engineering Carpentry Cosmetology Automotive Repair Medical Administration Computer Administration Management Miscellaneous Business Medical Administration Military Technologies Accounting Construction Services Industrial Production Technologies Materials Engineering Hospitality Management General Education Airport Operations Culinary Arts Medical Assisting Operations Logistics and E-Commerce Civil Engineering Top Ten Least Lucrative Careers 2017-2018 Religious Studies Exercise Science Music Art History Paralegal Studies Graphic Design Anthropology Radio Television Art Photography None of these lists add up, huh? Nothing quite matches up. It just makes it all the more confusing, right? But do not worry. As long as you work hard and continually do and look for the best, you will certainly go far. Good luck in deciding your college major!

Italki Challenge The Game Is On

Italki Challenge The Game Is On Teddy Nee runs a popular language learning blog called Nees Language Blog. Hes also taking the 2015 New Years Language Challenge and is making regular updates on goal to learn Portuguese for the Challenge. Reposted with permission. Original post here. Italki Challenge: The Game Is On (Photo credit: Wikipedia) It has been one week after the challenge started and I have taken four classes so far. It was a bit off schedule but hopefully, I can manage to do more classes on the following weeks. My target language in this challenge is Portuguese, just general Portuguese, means that I do not specify the target for any certain kind of Portuguese (as what we have known, there are Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal) My reason is that because I have known Spanish and I have actually started reading about Portuguese before Italki Challenge. In that case, I thought it might be better to learn another Romance language since I have known one of them. Quick tips: As a rule of thumb, learning a language from the same language family with the language(s) that you have known saves much time and effort, since you might have known a large amount of the language traits even before learning it. Class Tutor and Learning Material I plan to have as minimum as four classes per week, with one hour per class session, in order to reach the target of 20 hours between January 15th and February 28th. I have an 8-5 job from Monday to Friday, so the only time I have for learning language is after dinner. I found a tutor from Portugal named Sophia, who I have known before Italki Challenge. She has taught 85 students from around the world and has completed more than 190 class sessions. Apart from Portuguese, she is also teaching Spanish, Galician, andMirandese. We talk only in Portuguese during the class although it is not that easy to understand even though I have known Spanish, due to its pronunciation. However, I find it easier to understand written text, sometimes with the help of dictionary. My main goal is to improve grammatical and conversational skill, as well as to learn about the differences among different kinds of Portuguese language. And since my tutor is from Portugal, I am also interested to know more about the country and its culture. (Photo credit:  Wikipedia) Final Thoughts Learning is a lifetime process, one cannot excel in only a fortnight. Thus, I also practice the language by myself outside of the class continuously. Most of the time, I listen to Portuguese songs or radio broadcasts while doing things, or even working. My job requires me to sit in front of computer the whole day, so I am much benefited by this condition. Other than that, I also like to read articles about language learning, business, technology, or sociocultural related topics and I try my best to also read in Portuguese. Basically, I am including foreign language into my daily chores. Are you also participating Italki Challenge? Share your progress with me in the comment.

Fast and Easy Food 3 Recipes Students Can Make for Move-In Helpers

Fast and Easy Food 3 Recipes Students Can Make for Move-In Helpers Sprinkle with paprika for garnish (Image via Pixabay.com) Recipe #1 Deviled Eggs This first dish is a favorite of mine. Deviled eggs are so easy to make and they offer a nice alternative to the basic boiled egg. They can even be stored in the fridge so your guests can pick off of them throughout the day. Plus, each egg will still taste fresh, even hours into your moving process. What You’ll Need: •8 eggs •1 and ¼ teaspoon of salt • ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper • ½ cup of mayonnaise •1 teaspoon of yellow mustard •A pot •A large bowl Directions: Place eggs into the pot. Fill the pot with water until the water is at least two inches above your eggs. Add one teaspoon of salt to boiling water to make eggs a bit easier to peel. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off heat. Cover pot with a lid and let sit for around 10 minutes. Drain water from the pot and then run cold water over eggs. Peel eggs and discard of shells. Place eggs on a plate and then slice each one in half, starting from the tip. Using a spoon, scoop out cooked yolk from the halves and put the yolks in a bowl. Combine yolks with remaining salt, ground pepper, mayonnaise, and mustard. Afterwards, use a spoon to evenly distribute the mixture back into the boiled egg whites. Cover your newly formed deviled eggs with plastic wrap or put in Tupperware. Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.   After that, you’ll have a delicious finger food for every pair of helping hands! Use ingredients that you know your helpers will enjoy (Image via Pixabay.com) Recipe #2 Easy Finger Sandwiches (With Variations!) Don’t have a lot of ingredients at your new place just yet? No problem! This recipe only calls for the most basic of ingredients. You can switch up the kind of bread you use, fillings, and condiments to fit the tastes of your helpers, making this sandwich recipe incredibly versatile. I’ll include three different ways you can use this recipe but don’t be afraid to play around with your favorite breads, meats, and sauces to make it your own. You can also try cutting the sandwiches into fun shapes using small cookie cutters to make it a little more fun. Turkey-American Finger Sandwiches What You’ll Need: •6 pieces of whole wheat bread •6 slices of roasted, pre-packaged turkey •Mayonnaise •Mustard •1 tomato, sliced •3 slices of American cheese •Knife Directions: Take out two pieces of bread. Using your knife, remove crusts from the bread. Spread mayonnaise and mustard onto one side of both pieces. Add a slice of cheese, a slice of tomato, and two slices of turkey on top of one piece of bread. Form a sandwich by adding the other piece of bread. Use a knife to divide the sandwich into four square sections. Repeat this process with the rest of your ingredients until you have 12 small sandwiches. Tuna Salad Finger Sandwiches What You’ll Need: •6 slices of white bread •2 cans of white meat tuna in water • ½ cup of mayonnaise •1 and ½ tablespoons of sweet relish •Bowl •Spoon •Knife •Fork Mince your tuna with a fork and add to the bowl.

How Is Molarity Used in Chemistry?

How Is Molarity Used in Chemistry?If you are taking a chemistry course, you might have noticed a term referred to as molarity. The chemical reaction of a molecule is known as molar. In order for the reaction to occur, the molar level has to be in balance with the acid or base levels of the environment.In a chemical reaction, the acid (H+) levels decrease while the base (Ca2+) levels increase. Any chemical equation will include this definition. It will also show a factor known as pK a or the partial pressure of the acid (pH) in the solution. The formula for pH is shown below. The factor pK a is also known as the molarity.To evaluate the partial pressure of a substance, you can do so by multiplying the partial pressure pK a by the concentration of the substance. For example, if you want to determine the partial pressure of a HCl solution, you can multiply pK a by the volume in liters and then divided by the weight in grams. This will give you the number in kPa or kilopascals.This press ure can be used to determine the pressure that you can stand at an elevation on the ground. Knowing how much pressure is required to open a valve or some other type of opening device will help you in your course work.When your molar level is not in balance with the actual conditions of the environment, it can become a significant source of problems. This is because when one chemical in a class has high pK a than another, the environment can get too acidic or alkaline, which may disrupt the reactions that you are trying to achieve.If you are faced with a real problem, you may need to seek the assistance of an instructor. A professor may have advised you to have a lower pK a or less pK a. With such advice, you can be assured that there is no real danger from any real problem in your chemistry course. It is just a matter of having the right knowledge to help you out.Molarity is a very important concept to consider as you are thinking about your chemistry career. You cannot always rely on a professor or someone else's recommendation to help you out. It may be more important to learn about this so that you can make a better decision about whether or not you want to continue in a certain course.

Which Chinese Dialect Should I Learn

Which Chinese Dialect Should I Learn From Mandarin to Cantonese - Which Chinese Dialect Should You Learn? Chapters Mandarin Chinese What About Cantonese instead of Mandarin? Learning Shanghainese Other Chinese LanguagesWhen it comes to business, speaking Mandarin Chinese would be hugely beneficial. While Japanese and German still remain useful languages for anyone wanting to work in business, there are so many people want to learn Chinese thanks to the country’s economic growth and globally-recognisable culture.Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice for students in schools and universities and is showing no signs of slowing down. However, there's something special about the Chinese language that you should know about: there's no such thing as a single Chinese language and culture.The Chinese speaking world is actually a group of related languages and dialects that, in some cases, are so different to one another that somebody speaking one of the languages would not be able to be understood by a speaker of another. Put simply, there are a lot of Chinese people who can't talk to each other because their version of “Chinese” is completely different.With dozens of languages and dialects spoken across China and language learning being such a long process,  it's very unlikely that anyone would be able to learn to speak all the different Chinese languages.While learning a few Chinese words, phrases, and some simple vocabulary will probably only take a few weeks, if you want to get familiar with Chinese characters, master Chinese grammar, and become fluent in your new language, you're going to have to study for a while.With that in mind, let’s see which language is the most important when it comes to integrating into Chinese culture and settling in China.Learn also about the many varieties of Chinese language spoken today...

This makes it a popular choice amongst those wanting to study Chinese or go to mainland China.In fact, when people say that they're decided to learn to speak Chinese, they probably mean that they're going to learn Mandarin since most Chinese language courses will be teaching the Mandarin language.Mandarin Chinese is generally used for business in China and is one of the most useful languages for international business. (Source: InstaWalli)You’re probably wondering what other languages the Chinese speak, too.  It’s estimated tha t around 30 million people are currently learning Mandarin. There are also studies that claim that Mandarin might be the world’s most popular language amongst learners.This is probably why there are so many universities partnering with the Confucius Institute and offering regular Chinese classes to their students and the public. You'll hardly be surprised to find out learning Chinese is becoming more popular outside of the classroom, too!The British Council has also said that Mandarin Chinese is the fourth most important language for Britain’s future!As the world’s 2nd biggest economic power, China is Europe’s second most popular trading partner, just after the United States, and accounts for around 160 billion Euros in trade.While once thought of as an impossible foreign language from a faraway land, Mandarin Chinese is now thought of as the language you have to know given how well China is performing economically.Find out more about Chinese’s influence around Asia. What About Cantonese instead of Mandarin?Every story has its sidekick who doesn’t get as much fame as they probably deserve. Batman had Robin, Fred Flintstone had Barney Rubble, and Wallace had Gromit.Cantonese is China's second language in terms of speakers and is famously used in Hong Kong cinema. (Source: Estial Photography)Mandarin was given official language status in China in 1956 while Cantonese remains in second place and largely ignored both by the Chinese and foreigners when it comes to learning languages.Cantonese is so much more than just a language with roots in the Chinese region of Guangdong (which used to be called Canton in the West).  So why should you consider learning Cantonese?While constantly in the shadow of Mandarin, Cantonese has had the opportunity to quietly grow and develop in the regions where it’s still spoken.Thanks to the economic power of the regions like Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Chinese communities abroad, where Cantonese is predominantly spo ken, the language remains most people’s first choice of language.Discover how you too can learn to speak Mandarin...  A Language for LinguistsThose who love languages are probably already more interested in Cantonese than they are Mandarin.With everybody seemingly learning Mandarin Chinese, there’s something quite interesting about the prospect of learning a language that’s both less popular and less accessible. With 8 tones and a number of similarities with Vietnamese, Cantonese can open doors to a number of regions that Mandarin won’t.Find out more about tones in Chinese by taking Chinese lessons.A Language for HistoriansWhile we’re certainly not forgetting about the history of Mandarin, the history of Cantonese is so rich and interesting that we couldn’t possibly write an articles on varieties of Chinese and not look at it briefly.Guangzhou, the 3rd largest city in China, has witnessed centuries of different political regimes. It’s a place that doesn’t need to pro ve anything to anyone.  It’s nicknamed the “City of the Five Rams” due to a Chinese legend in which 5 immortals rode 5 sheep. You could go as far to say that Guangzhou is an immortal city given the centuries of control it’s been subjected to.A Language for CinephilesHong Kong’s cinema, which is popular locally, nationally, and internationally, helps promote Cantonese. It has its own style and look that helps differentiate itself from other types of Chinese cinema.Understanding Mandarin Chinese mightn’t help you since the subtitles that are provided in Standard Chinese often do little justice to the original dialogue in Cantonese.Discover the fascinating history of the Chinese language...A Language for TravellersBeautiful, modern, and historic. Hong Kong, much like Shanghai, attracts migrants from all over the world. Since Hong Kong was formerly a British Colony, it’s significantly more westernised than the mainland.However, it’s managed to hold onto its Chinese roots , too. When people say Hong Kong Chinese, they’re really talking about Hong Kong Cantonese.In fact, Cantonese is both Hong Kong’s official language and the lingua franca. Put simply, if you’ve set your sights on Hong Kong for either work or travel, you’re going to have to learn Cantonese rather than Mandarin Chinese. Learning ShanghaineseShanghai is the biggest city in China, a global economic hub, and home to the world’s second tallest skyscraper, the Shanghai tower.Read about everything you need to help you learn Chinese...Shanghai, which was once a farming town, has been an important port since the Qing dynasty. (Source: pixabay.com)As the economic centre of Asia, it’s hardly surprising to learn that both Mandarin and English are used in order to close deals.However, Shanghai, which is home to 20 million people, has its own language and dialect which is known as Shanghainese, the Shanghainese dialect, the Hu language, or the Hu dialect.While Mandarin Chinese is taught in schools around the People’s Republic of China from the age of 6, the local language is the one spoken on the streets of Shanghai in the shadows of massive skyscrapers.You’re probably thinking, “Why should I learn a local dialect instead of learning the standard Mandarin Chinese?”I’m not going to lie... That’s a very valid question to ask. After all, most people in Shanghai can speak Mandarin Chinese to some degree and  Shanghai is also home to a significant migrant population that doesn't speak the local language.However, whether you’re an exchange student in China, an expat looking to start a business, or just a tourist travelling through Shanghai, knowing how to speak the local lingo comes with a number of benefits.The Shanghainese like to stick together and promote the use of their local language.  Thus, socialising with the locals in Shanghai and avoiding the expat communities can be difficult if you haven’t bothered to learn their language.I played it safe: took Mandarin lessons with a Superprof tutor!As a member of the Wu language family, which is the second largest linguistic group in China, there are also a tonne of economic and financial benefits to mastering this language.While Mandarin and Shanghainese are not mutually intelligible, the latter has borrowed heavily from the former. This means that if you know a lot of Mandarin, it could be helpful if you decide to start learning Shanghainese.Would you try your hand a learning Chinese's four tones?   Other Chinese LanguagesWhile you might hear languages like Min (spoken in Fuijian and Taiwan), Xiang (in Hunan Province), and Manchu referred to as “dialects” in order to legitimise Mandarin Chinese as the official language of China, most linguists don't like to use the term.According to historians, Old Chinese was closer to Tibetan languages than modern Chinese dialects. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)China is brimming with local languages that bear little resemblance to Mandarin Chin ese as it’s spoken in Beijing.These languages have existed for many years and survived in the face measures to standardise Chinese. Most regions still have regional languages which are used daily by local groups, too.Focusing on one of these local languages could be great for somebody interested in linguistics, anthropology, Chinese history, or anybody wanting to deepen their understanding of local Chinese culture and history for university research, for example.Don’t forget about Pinyin, either.Find a private tutor to help you learn Mandarin Chinese:Mandarin lessons LondonChinese lessons London
