AP Chemistry Free Response - Whats New This Year?

AP Chemistry Free Response - What's New This Year?Last year's AP Chemistry Free Response was a resounding success. This year is the perfect opportunity for any students to 'test the waters' and learn how to prepare for the AP Chemistry Review. Students have been submitting free response questions for years, but this year they will be required to submit free-response questions before each exam. The reason they are being asked is so they can refine their thinking for the exam and will help them study better as well.Last year I did not even know AP Chemistry had a Free Response question, but it made sense when I learned that some schools only give out the question form for one day. Therefore, the question form for this year is the only time they will ask for them. They believe that it will help prepare students more for the exam than not giving them one at all.This year they also offer another option to the AP Chemistry Free Response. Students can just go through the question form, fill in the blanks with the correct answer, and then submit it. Because students fill in the blank more quickly, they can use that information to study more effectively for the exam.Last year a lot of students were studying the free-response form because they felt intimidated by the answer they had given in the previous year. Because they know that they have done well for the past three years, they want to show the system they are working on that they are dedicated and prepared. By getting their students to do the same, it shows their students that they care about them, and that they will do whatever it takes to get them prepared for the test.With the new approach, it is a good idea to find an AP Chemistry Free Response resource that has lots of practice questions, and a nice mix of real AP Chemistry problems and AP Chemistry practice problems. For example, if the question is on a real chemistry topic, you will find many practice questions that are quite similar.At the end of the day, t he resource should be a place where students can get the practice that they need to understand their concepts, and it should be an avenue to find real AP Chemistry material that students can learn from. Students who use resources like this will not feel as overwhelmed by the format of the Free Response question. The resource also gives them more practice problems to use when they are taking the actual exam.The AP Chemistry Free Response is one of the most important parts of AP Chemistry, because it prepares students for the exam with multiple choice questions that help them think through all of the concepts that they need to know. Without getting prepared, students are not going to come out on top in the AP exam.

Tutorfair and TAP supporting UCAS applications

Tutorfair and TAP supporting UCAS applications by Edd Stockwell, Tutorfair That was inspired! On 6th Feb Tutorfair and The Access Project held a UCAS workshop at Highbury Fields School, in North London. 15 tutors worked in small groups with 50 students helping them learn about selecting a course; choosing a university; writing their personal statements; and financing their degree. The four areas had professional worksheets with guidance for the tutors and handouts for the students. It was split into tight 20 minute focus groups with the students moving between the classrooms. After a nervous first session with everyone still finding their feet the sessions quickly warmed up… The small group setting enabled the students to get personal attention and feedback. Shy students were encouraged; nervous tutors quickly found their feet; and the dreams and expectations of these promising students could be bought together ready for their UCAS applications. HFS had done an amazing job helping students do work experience and encouraging them to think about their degree courses when choosing their A-levels. Several of the students were part of voluntary organisations, clubs and charities and were hungry for the support and encouragement the tutors provided. In the personal statements group students walked away with the structure and materials to really sell themselves. The aim was to emphasise why they wanted to study a particular subject and demonstrating â€" rather than just asserting â€" why they are suitable for it. The finance session covered the government’s student loan program, scholarships and way’s of living cheaply. The difference between £50k of cash, a £50k loan and £50k of student debt â€" was not lost. Choosing a university and choosing a course were more about opening up options: filling in the blanks about foreign cities and hearing the tutor’s personal stories about the courses they enjoyed and the friends they met along the way.

English Conversation Classes Talking About the 2011 Economy

English Conversation Classes Talking About the 2011 Economy We have been listening to reports and talking about the economic crisis for a few years now but how will things change in 2011? What is your view? Do you have a positive or negative outlook on the state of your country’s economy for the year ahead?Let’s learn some vocabulary that expresses how we feel:Positive Outlook I am hopeful because Consumer confidence will be restored and public spending will increase.Investors will regain (recover) their faith in our market and resume manufacturing here.The local economy will be boosted by strong exports.Government cutbacks will start to take effect.Interest rates will be reduced.Restructuring of banks will help reduce their debts.Negative Outlook I am doubtful things will improve because…The dollar remains high against local currency.Unemployment is now at record levels. A brain drain (emigration of new graduates) is causing young talent to leave the country because of the shortage of jobs.International markets have lost confidence in our currency and we might be forced into devaluation. We might not be able to pay back our loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and as a result could default on our  payments (or be unable to make payments on time).Lets look at the following cartoon on the economic crisis. See if you can answer the following questions based in it:Do you think this cartoon is showing the economic situation in a positive or negative light?What point is the cartoonist making?Do you agree or disagree?If you had to draw one more picture to finish the cartoon what would it show?Did you find this class helpful?

10 Reasons Why We Need Math - ALOHA Mind Math

10 Reasons Why We Need Math 8 Likes So often as parents, you tell your children to study because they would rather be doing anything else.

Remember they must add tax at xx% of the cost. Math helps you figure out how to use a recipe for cooking or baking, whether you need to double or halve a recipe to serve more or less people for which the recipe was created. How far it is to the after-school sports field and calculating how long it will take to arrive there is a regular reason to use math. Learning to play an instrument and playing music requires the use of math to keep the appropriate beat and rhythm when playing with other people in a band or orchestra. Math helps you calculate tips on restaurant meals and/or whether you have been accurately charged for your meal. Math helps you calculate the amount of raise you will receive if a 5% increase is associated with your Excellent review. Knowing basic math principles keeps you from having to carry around a calculator because good use of math allows you to do many calculations in your head. Check out our Mind Math Junior program here. Building a tree-house, doll-house, dog-house or family house requires the use of geometry and trigonometry related to the accurate use of square footage and angles to roofs. When it is time to buy their first car, math will be important to calculate the amount they may pay to borrow the money through a loan. Being able to do math, or doing math very well is the difference between what type of job you will be able to secure when you are out of school. We will discuss those jobs in a future article.
