AP Chemistry Meme - How To Build Your Students Understanding Of Science And Chemistry

AP Chemistry Meme - How To Build Your Students Understanding Of Science And ChemistryThe AP Chemistry Meme is all about is creating a more interactive learning environment for students to work through assignments and in more fun ways. It takes an entire week to create the AP Chemistry Meme, where students take several assignments and explore different topics. Students will not only learn how to use their AP Chemistry homework but also how to enhance their studies with fun, interactive assignments.There are five basic uses of the AP Chemistry Meme: helping students learn and consolidate their lessons, giving them opportunities to take fun quizzes, testing and validating their learned concepts, having them develop their own research projects, and increasing their college GPA. Here is a closer look at how these activities can benefit your students:Let students start with one-on-one conversation or discussion with you to discuss new things they have learned. A good conversation starter c an provide your students with valuable information that helps them enhance their knowledge and improve their understanding of topics. Think about bringing a friend who has no background in science so you can have a conversation with them as well. Just make sure the student knows and can understand what is being discussed and what you expect him to do.Allow students to select their own assignment or challenge and present it at the end of the day's daily homework. As you read each assignment and quiz, use the AP Chemistry Meme to inform them of the significance of what they have learned. When students present their assignments, set up an easy way for them to add comments on what they have learned and what they believe is most important. It is important to give students the opportunity to review the lesson as well as to share their idea of what they would like to know.Use the test to review the material that your students have learned, and to reinforce concepts they have learned. Do no t set up separate tasks for each subject, and instead use the test to reinforce all of your students' efforts and build up their level of understanding. Be sure to organize quizzes and tests throughout the week. This allows students to see results in multiple settings. Making quizzes and tests in advance will encourage students to engage in more than one way of completing the test. Ask them to share any ideas they may have about what they think will help them learn better.Encourage your students to share their efforts to achieve their AP Chemistry Meme objectives. This can give them the satisfaction that they have reached their goals for the week. Each and every one of your students will benefit from participating in this project, and it will ultimately make them more knowledgeable and confident in their own abilities.

A Beginners Guide to Home-Based Businesses

A Beginners Guide to Home-Based Businesses Image via Pexels Home-Based Business: What to Do Beforehand Unfortunately, creating a home-based business isn’t as simple as quitting your job, sitting at home, and saying you have a business after building a website- if it was, everyone would do it! Rather, having a home-based business takes a good deal of patience, dedication, research, and investment. Here are some things to consider before you make the leap and start your own business. Dig Deep for What You Want: This may seem like an obvious first step, but without it, there is no starting your own business! We all have passions and things that interest us, but the real question at hand is, can I turn this interest or passion into a career? So, you have to dig deep to figure out what it is you want exactly. In today’s age with technology, the options are almost limitless in what you can do and accomplish. You could be a blogger that plays and reviews video games (and gets paid for it)! Or you could be the next big name in the entertainment world on Youtube. All it takes is aligning your dreams and goals with the job market and reaching for it! Research What it Takes to Get There: No one can go from point A to point B without some elbow grease and research into what requirements, qualifications, and skills it takes to get to build a home-based business. It’s important that, before you take the leap, you gather all the information you need in order to carefully asses what you need to do, what skills you need to build, etc. to make your dream of having your own business a reality. A blog post by Miss Ashley Allison  suggests  an  article  from Regis College, which “highlights some of the careers where certain skills are needed; which could be a motivator to help you decide on the path you want to take.” Boost Your Confidence: This world is tough and to make it in this world, you have to have confidence- confidence in yourself, in your ability to do a job, in your skills, etc. We all have points where our self-esteem is low and we don’t believe in ourselves, so you’re not the only one.   To create a home-based business and a successful one at that, you need to have confidence, or else how can you ensure that you can continue on with your business after the smallest setback? In an article on Entrepreneur.com, guest writer and CEO Chris W. Dunn  recommends  a few ways to build your confidence, such as visualizing yourself as you want to be, affirming yourself, doing something that scares you every day, helping someone else, caring for yourself, and shifting to an equality mentality, among some. One that I personally liked was to take the 100 days of rejection challenge. Dunn writes, “Jia Jiang  has become famous for recording his experience of “busting fear” by purposefully making crazy requests of people in order to be rejected over 100 days. His purpose was to desensitize himself to rejection after he became more upset than he expected over rejection from a potential investor.  Busting fear isn’t easy to do, but if you want to have fun while building up your self-confidence, this is a powerful way to do it.” Be Comfortable with Taking a Risk: Stepping outside of your comfort zone and the traditional job market to make your own home-based business takes a leap of faith and a fair amount of risk- and that’s ok! The steps you’ve taken prior to this have adequately set you up for doing this and now all you have to do is take that leap. Taking risks is scary because there’s no guarantee of success or a favorable outcome, however, you never know unless you reach for it and try it! Have a Backup Plan: Making your dream job a reality doesn’t happen overnight, in fact, it can take months or even years to come to fruition. While you are figuring out what you want to do and how to execute it, be sure to have a backup plan or backup job so you can support yourself during the process. Building Your Home-Based Business: Step by Step After taking a few things into consideration, you’re ready to start your home-based business- but where do you start? Don’t worry, I got you covered. Image made via Canva.com Write Out a Business Plan: Every business starts at a ground zero, and to effectively structure and build your business, you have to write out a business plan. Doing so helps you articulate what you are aiming to do, how you are going to do it, what resources you need to achieve your goal and the expected cost/profit of your goal. According to Entrepreneur.com, “A business plan is a good way to explore the feasibility of a new business without actually having to start it and run it. A good plan can help you see serious flaws in your business concept.” Having a business plan will help you stay organized and on the path of your goal(s) instead of being confused and scattered, which can ultimately lead to failure. Here are some important things to include in your business plan:   Your Basic Business Concept Your Strategy and Actions to Implement Your Strategy What Your Business Will Over in Contrast to the Outstanding Market/Industry You’re Entering Financing Needs Determine Your Business Entity: The next step in the process of building your home-based business is determining the specific kind of entity that your business will be. Lisa Furgison of Bplans.com writes, “You’ll need to select between sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, corporation, S corporation, nonprofit, or cooperative. You may want to talk with your mentor, accountant, and lawyer to make this decision.” Understand Home-Based Business Taxes: Everyone has to pay taxes, even if you are self-employed and have a business at home. If you don’t pay taxes on the money you make, you won’t have a business anymore and deal with charges of tax fraud or evasion- trust me, you don’t want that! Depending on the kind of business you establish, your taxes will reflect that. Talk with a financial expert or account to help understand the taxes you’ll have to pay, expenses you can write off, and how to obtain a business tax ID. Create a Schedule: Just because you work from home doesn’t mean that you want your work schedule to be all over the place. You don’t want to be working until 3am one day and going to be at 7pm the next. Of course, some days are going to be unbalanced, but you want to have a schedule so you can stay organized and balance your workload in a healthy, productive manner. Leslie Truex of the Balance Small Business suggests, “Find blocks of time you can use to build your business. For example, work an hour in the morning, an hour at lunch and two hours after everyone goes to bed. On your calendar, mark blocks of time for home business tasks and then guard that time.” Designate a Proper Work Area: Plenty of us are guilty of having a messy desk or office area in our home. Think about it, when you have clutter like papers, books, memos, etc. all over your desk and office space, do you really feel like working in there? I know I don’t. Having a messy workspace clutters your mind and distracts you from what you’re trying to accomplish. Since your livelihood and business is at home, you have to designate a proper space to work. In a blog post by Gunderson and Denton, they note that this is one of the common mistakes of people who have home-based businesses. They suggest that “having a reserved office space can help you get into work mode. Even if your home is small, you can set aside a corner for your desk and computer specifically for your work. Eliminate all distractions in the area. If you have to work in a common area, keep your desk designated for work only, and create some sort of divide between work and home.” Assemble Your Dream Team: Though you may have all intentions of working by yourself (and there’s nothing wrong with that), you still need to have a few important people in your corner to help your business flourish and keep you sane in the process. Lisa Furgison writes, “Find an accountant to help with taxes and payroll, an insurance broker to decipher policies, a lawyer to draw up business forms, and a mentor to talk with during tough times.” Network, Network, Network:   Networking online is no different than networking in the real world. Find people in your same niche, connect with them, follow their business pages and establish a relationship. Through networking, you can collaborate with people and expand your audience! Additionally, promote your business on social media networks, such as Facebook or Instagram. Create specific pages on these sites for your business and link your business website on your Facebook and Instagram so not only can people reach you on social media, but they can also share your posts to spread the word! Use hashtags and look at the best times to post of each social media site to optimize your reach. Image via Pexels Creating a home-based business is by no means an easy thing to do, but if you have a   drive and a passion to mix your passions with your skills and make something meaningful of the two, then it is certainly worth it in the end. Before diving in, do some important things like digging deep for what you want, boosting your confidence, and researching the market and industry you’re entering. After that, build your plan, create a schedule, designate a space, and do the boring tax work to take your business off the ground. If you have the right support system around you, there’s nothing that can stop you from being a success. As always, good luck!

Helping your Kids Transition back to School after the Holidays - ALOHA Mind Math

Helping your Kids Transition back to School after the Holidays After a holiday vacation, it can be hard for children, and parents, to get back in the swing of school, both the daily preparations to get to school on time and being prepared once there. A Smoother Transition back to School takes Reestablishing Routines Routines are one way to make the transition back to school easier. Getting back to, or establishing, both a morning routine and an after-school routine does wonders. Sometimes during holidays, bedtimes may have gotten lateryou know, trying to stay up to wait for Santa, or watching the ball drop or fireworks on new year’s eve. This can make getting back to a normal bedtime routine also important. There have been many studies about how a lack of quality sleep can have a negative effect on daytime performance. New Bedtime Routine: Stop the use of Computers, eReaders, Tablets and Smart Phones two Hours before Bed for Better Sleep If your child received an eReader, tablet, computer or smartphone as a gift, you might need to set some surprising boundaries at bedtime. There have also been several recent studies about the detrimental effects of anyone, adult or child, using a screen (such as a computer, tablet, eReader or smartphone) right before bedtime. Studies indicate that the quality and color of the light from those screens (bluer than normal household lights or daylight) can interrupt our body’s natural nighttime, pre-sleep routines and lead to poor-quality sleep. One effect that the light from these screens has is to suppress melatonin levels, which can lead to poor-quality sleep and lack of functioning well the next day (sleep deficiency, over time, can also lead to more serious issues like diabetes and obesity). So if your child received one of the listed electronic device for Christmas or Hanukah, back-to-school is the time to start teaching kids good sleep-hygiene habits. These include winding down for bed by stopping use of electronic devices about two hours before sleep. It also Takes Adaptability to Get Back in the Swing of things Make sure to remind your children to bring home any paperwork from school and from extracurricular activities. Allow time to go through the paperwork. Hopefully changes in schedule will be detailed there clearly so you can incorporate changes or upcoming events in the schedule. See our post with tips on time management for families for other ways to keep up with a busy child’s schedule. One other Tip will have to wait until the Next Holiday to Implement One way to smooth post-holiday routines, is to keep some of them going during the holiday. Okay, we’re not going to get our kids up early every morning as if they had to catch the bus, but parents can plan after-school or evening “Explore-Time.” During the time a child would normally do homework, parents can let a child pick a topic they want to learn about. Kids can take books out of the library, or go online and you can help them research penguins, or snow leopards, or a famous mathematician or scientist, or the Amazon junglewhatever topic that intrigues them. If the child gets into it, they can even write a paper and read it to parents and siblings the night before school starts. There are many fun learning activities online at sites like The Kids Activities Blog; you can substitute any one of them for the above idea. With Martin Luther King Jr long weekend around the corner in January, you can give these techniques a try. Do you have any tips to share for easing back in to the school routines?

6 Childrens Book Characters Who Would Excel In Business School

6 Children's Book Characters Who Would Excel In Business School pexels.com Cat in the Hat The Cat in the Hat is a smooth talker. You saw how quickly he took over the children’s house and home in the books! He talked his way right inside and roped the children right into his schemes, selling them big dreams of what they could do and of all his inventions. He’s a pretty slick character himself and we bet that if he could find his way into business school, he and his red and white striped hat would rise straight to the top. Corduroy While Corduroy was shy at first, this teddy bear found courage and sought out his dream of finding a button for his overalls. Though it was a struggle, he remained tenacious until his dreams were a success. These are some of the same qualities necessary to succeeding in business school and in owning your own business. It is a lot of hard work to run your own business and can often be discouraging â€" but you should never give up on your dreams, a concept that Corduroy conveys. And with that name and sense of style, imagine the fashion empire he could have gone on to create! Waldo Where’s Waldo has been around for a long time and has become an iconic children’s book character. With that red and white striped sweater, round glasses, and knitted cap, he is recognized worldwide. And you know who else is famous for wearing the same simple outfit every single day? Businessman extraordinaire and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg himself. He claims dressing the same way every day allows him to focus his energy on more important decisions at work.  Waldo is already ahead of the game! Another one of the biggest indicators of a successful business person is the ability to keep the public talking about himself and his product. How many countless hours did we spend as children searching fruitlessly for Waldo, pouring over labyrinthine images hoping for a glimpse of those red and white stripes? Waldo does a good job â€" people will pay to keep trying to answer the question of Where’s Waldo?, a mystery that’s keeping children and adults up late at night wondering for years. pexels.com The Boy For many, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is a heartwarming story of the selfless and unconditional love that The Tree has for The Boy. Yet, it also can be viewed from an entirely different perspective where The Boy was actually an exploitative genius. He got all the capital and investments that he needed to succeed in life and accomplished everything that he needed to. He chose a sound investor, and by the end of the story, had given back The Tree her investment with interest. Perhaps if The Boy had gone to business school, he could have honed his already sharp business acumen so that he could have avoided exploiting The Tree in his inexperience. Sam I Am Sam I Am was a revolutionary businessman on his own. He came up with his own, totally unique product: green eggs and ham (I mean, who else would think of that?). He marketed the hell out of them too, showing how versatile his product was. You could eat it in a box with a fox, with a goat on a boat, even on a train in the rain! And how catchy is that rhyming marketing scheme? And he got the biggest, toughest critic to invest and endorse his project â€" after that, he was set and sure to have a smash hit product on his hands. Imagine how good he would be in business school? He would define excellence. Strega Nona There is nothing more marketable than a lovable granny, and on that, Strega Nona owns the market. People often create cute grandmas to be the face of their brand because it will help it sell more, but that is a lesson Strega Nona learned without even going to business school. She knew how to market her product accordingly, knowing that nothing could sell pasta better than an Italian grandma. She may have had some hiccups in her production where her magic pasta pot goes haywire and overproduces, but since she got into business school and learned the tricks of the trade, she would be on her way to the top of the market.

What Does Chemistry Do?

What Does Chemistry Do?There are a number of ways to look at the relationship between how does chemistry work and the study of chemical reactions. The most common way to learn how does chemistry work is to do research about how it works and what it can do for us. Then we will learn about experiments that may help us learn how does chemistry work. Once we understand the fundamental ideas of how does chemistry work, we will find out more ways in which chemistry helps us.A chemical reaction has two parts. One part is chemical and the other part is physical. The chemistry of any substance is determined by both these aspects of a chemical reaction.Chemistry is an important subject for many people as it helps us learn more about how the world we live in works. Understanding how does chemistry work allows us to be able to adapt our lives and our environment so that we can enjoy and survive in the world we live in.The first step to understanding how does chemistry work is to learn about the chemical bonds that hold atoms together. This bond is called the covalent bond. It is a combination of different types of bonding (electron, hydrogen, nitrogen) which is in turn the key to understanding how does chemistry work.We also learn about the properties of atoms as well as what those properties mean in terms of the process of how does chemistry work. These properties include mass, charge, symmetry, and, of course, attractive and repulsive forces.There are many different types of reaction that can be studied in which to learn how does chemistry work. Some of the more commonly used ones are the reaction of two hydrogen atoms to form carbon-hydrogen. Another example is the reaction of two nitrogens to form carbon-nitrogen.Some basic methods of how does chemistry work will involve a mixture of the elements in the reaction. In these situations it will not be difficult to know how does chemistry work because the chemical properties of the reactants will be similar to the propertie s of the products that will be formed.
