Know More About Gold Chemistry

Know More About Gold ChemistryGold chemistry requires you to make gold bars by combining various metals. Once you start doing this, you can easily make yourself a pile of gold. Even if you do not know what these are or how they work, you will be able to get the basics of this science pretty quickly.First, you have to make your first gold or you can make them from one another. This can be done by combining two or more metals that have different properties and quality. The one that gives the higher quality when mixed with gold is called gold and that is what you are making. The highest quality gold is made from the combination of three different metals.Since gold is the hardest metal, it has to be made into a hard substance. For this, you need to combine several metals that are similar in their properties. If you combine copper, aluminum and zinc, you will end up with a white gold. When you combine a lot of metals, this can be enough to make a whole bar of gold. However, it can also ge t very costly and you need to keep that in mind.When you are learning how to make gold, you can use a basic chemistry book to help you. You can also start by doing experiments in the laboratory. Then, after you have mastered that, you can go and do it in the field.You can do experiments where you just mix them. These are usually done in the laboratory where you can easily get all the tools you need. Make sure you use those that are rated for handling big amounts of materials. Make sure the heating process you are using is one that is appropriate for making gold.The most difficult part is getting these metal mixtures together. This is because there are some metal combinations that you cannot handle and your science lab is not big enough for it.Finally, you should remember that you will get a lot of money for making these materials but you will need to pay a full price for the materials and tools used. This may seem like a lot but it will actually pay off because it will help you inve st in gold.

Best Professor Teacher Christmas Gift Ideas 25 Top Picks by Teachers - Amy W Oct 9, 2018 Its tough to figure out the best professor or teacher Christmas gifts every year for a whole new set of teachers!   Christmas is a time of giving and its also a time of total stress! Whether you are visiting family for the holidays or hosting the festivities, there is always a lot going on.

Teacher Gift Etiquette First and foremost, remember this â€" teachers don’t expect Christmas gifts! In fact, they don’t expect gifts, period. This alone should take the stress out of gift buying. However, it doesn’t take away from the notion that most people want to buy their child’s teacher a present. Try not to freak out, keep calm and do a little investigative work. Make inquiries about their interests and hobbies, and pay close attention to factors such as what they wear, eat and drink, and what is on their desk. Don’t be afraid to join forces with other parents. This opens up more ideas and helps bring costs down. Finally, a card goes a long way so make sure a hand written one goes with the gift. If time (or money) is tight, a card or note is perfect all on its own. Teacher Gift Card Ideas There is often a preconceived idea that gift cards are a cop-out gift. After all, they don’t require a lot of time and effort do they? Wrong. Well, almost.

The holiday break means they have less school preparation to do, so it’s the perfect time to get used. Beauty Salon Whether you buy a gift card for a specific service (a massage is a great idea) or leave it open for choice, this gift gives your child’s teacher some much needed and well deserved ‘me time’.   You can choose a local salon or go online and choose a package from some of the national options.

Serving Dishes For the entertaining teacher! Christmas themed serving plates and bowls are wonderful for this time of year. Or opt for something a little more year-round practical like this divided dish to keep the crackers away from the dip!   A favorite of mine is to give a fun or holiday themed dish or bowl with some baked good orf candy in it.   A BIG hit that doesnt have to cost much or take much time. Credit Card Multi Tool This is a new twist on the traditional Swiss Army Knife. Designed to fit in a pocket or wallet, this multi tool can go everywhere the handy teacher goes!   And it definitely will be an item that starts some conversations amongst the teachers as well with its cool look and multi-uses. Food Gift Ideas Chocolate It’s definitely a little cliché, but teachers love chocolate! It’s easy to buy, just don’t buy the ultra cheap stuff. Go for a mid to high-end range.

It’s perfect for parents that have multiple children, or when your child has multiple teachers. Plus teachers love the homemade effort. Something to Drink Alcohol is the first thought that comes to mind here. Many teachers love a glass of wine, a bottle of craft beer, or some festive bubbles. Minimal thought is required, but we love it anyway! There are also plenty of non-alcoholic options too â€" elderflower cordial and other similar drinks are delicious!   Its an easy and quick way to say thank you to your teachers any time of year.   One of our favorites are wine club gifts!   And Wine of the Month Club which you can find HERE is the most affordable and gets raves from Consumer Reports.com, Forbes magazine as well as Food Beverage magazine plus their pricing is great! Gift Baskets Teachers also have the holiday stress of entertaining family and friends. A basket filled with delicious food and drink, as well as seasonal accessories such as napkins and Christmas crackers, make a practical and loved gift. You can buy ready-made gift baskets and boxes, or team up with some other parents to make a teacher gift basket that specifically suits your teachers’ tastes, making them one of the best teacher Christmas gift ideas.   This is truly an all time favorite for teachers.   Its something that they can share both at home and at work and it[s definitely something that helps fill that mid-day lull when an energy boost is needed.   For some fun and affordable options check out this collection! Gourmet Coffee Kit Staff room instant or filter coffee gets tiresome. We drink it because we need it. But what we need even more is our very own gourmet coffee kit. Try buying a single-serve sized press such as those from American Press or like these weve discovered, and some gourmet coffee â€" we will love you for it!   One of our favorite coffees to share is Hawaiian coffee brand! This is one we discovered when we were visiting: 100% Kona Coffee Gourmet Coffee from Hawaii So delicious   plus just imagining being in Hawaii some days makes everything easier. ?? Other Gift Ideas Art Supplies Teachers all over the country fork out hundreds of their own dollars buying art and craft supplies for their class. They do this out of pure love for the learning of their students, but an extra helping hand goes a long way.

Your child’s teacher will appreciate it and your child will also benefit â€" it’s a win-win! Something Personalized Having a gift personalized turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Pens, notebooks, stationary and pencil cases are all easy to get personalized.  Organizational Gifts Teachers are organized beings, it’s in our nature. Which means we can’t get enough of gifts that help us do this. Steer clear of things like diaries, journals and calendars, we have plenty of these. Instead check out drawer organizer, bags, purses and wallets. We loved these whiteboard storage pockets as well as these cool Dr Seuss like hand pointers as fun little gifts to give to teachers. KeepCup Teachers love coffee, but they already have a million coffee mugs. What they probably don’t have is a KeepCup. They are great for the environment â€" no more throw away take away cups, and the lid means there is no risk of spilling a hot drink all over children (or their work). Subject Specific Gifts Look for gifts that reflect a teacher’s favorite subject. They may often seem silly, but trust us, teachers love these quirky, fun gifts as they show how well you know us!     For example these science scarves are an all time favorite gift for science teachers!   My sons chemistry teacher still comments on how much she loves hers!   And there are other subjects available as well.

Tips on How to Praise Correctly

Tips on How to Praise Correctly Most school teachers, tutors and parents agree on the importance of praising children. Praise can be an immensely important motivator driving a child’s performance, whether the goal be a passing a common entrance exam, good GCSEs, or just encouraging children to develop their talents and fulfil their potential. But are we giving the right sort of praise? One of our tutors, Stephanie S, is an Educational and Child Psychologist. She explains how to use praise in the best way. The importance of praise is now an old phenomenon; the notion has been around long enough for people to be  sceptical  about its benefits. It seems  that we are beginning to underestimate its value and some even think it be may detrimental - I regularly get asked questions along the lines of: “But won’t praising my children spoil them or fill them with false hopes?” From previous research we know that praising children for their efforts rather than their inherent traits has a positive impact on their all-round development (Kamins and Dweck, 1999; Mueller Dweck, 1998). What this means is that we should praise children using “process praise” â€" i.e. focusing on their efforts, actions and strategies to completing a task, rather than our view of an inherent ability (“you’re so smart”, “you are good”) that helped them complete it. This idea is backed by a new study by Carol Dweck and Elizabeth Gunderson, who monitored how parents praise their young children in real-life situations, and to note the impact of this on children 5 years later. The key finding was that the more parents praised pre-school children for effort (known as process praise, as in “good job”), the more likely it was that those children had an “incremental attitude” towards intelligence. For example, such children tended to agree that people can get smarter if they try harder, and disagree with the idea that a naughty child will always be naughty. From other research we know that such a mind-set has a positive impact on a child’s life and academic success. So how should we praise a child? “You found a good way to do that!” “You worked really hard at that!” as opposed to “you are so smart” “That was some really good addition” “Very nice handwriting” as opposed to “you have neat handwriting” “You did a good job drawing” as opposed to “you are a good drawer” “Good job counting” as opposed to “you’re a good counter” “You’re trying your best” as opposed to “good boy” What if they make a mess of the end product, and there is nothing to praise? Well… is there really nothing to praise?? If you do some really good detective work there will be at least 1 action the child did well, even if it was only standing up!

Mistakes Make the Student

Mistakes Make the Student Mistakes Make the Student Mistakes Indicate Future Success, Not Failure “Click!” You realize your mistake as soon as you hit send. The funny cat video you meant to forward to your friend was just emailed to the entire company, CEO and all. We’ve all made the “reply all”  mistake.   But chances are, you never did the same thing again. This is because making mistakes is a key part of the learning process. Huge blunders like emailing the entire company will stick in your mind for a long time. But even minor errors can have a big impact on how youâ€"and your childrenâ€"learn. Research Shows Mistakes Help, Don’t Hurt Educators used to believe that making mistakes hurt students’ learning. They thought  if a student learned to do something the wrong way, it would become fixed in their brain and they’d always make the same mistake. The opposite, in fact, was true. Several studies have shown that making errors during the learning process, and correcting those errors, leads to  better understanding and recall. In 1994, researchers conducted a landmark study comparing the US education system to Japan’s. The study found that American teachers praised students for correct answers and ignored incorrect responses. They would not discuss why the correct answer was right or the incorrect answer was wrong. Conversely, Japanese teachers would ask students to find an answer on their own. They would then discuss the different answers. Students would learn why an incorrect answer was wrong and a correct answer was right. This reflection and reinforcement would lead to much better recall. Letting students make mistakes and learn from them was found to be a key reason  Japanese students outperformed Americans on global math tests. The Power of a Growth Mindset The value of making mistakes is also clear when comparing students with growth mindsets to those with fixed mindsets. Stanford Professor Carol Dweck has done substantial research on the impact of growth mindsets. People with a growth mindset understand that intelligence is not set at birth, and they can work to improve. Those with a fixed mindset believe you’re either born smart or you’re not.  The theory is backed  by the science of neuroplasticity  and proven with significant research. Students with a growth mindset perform better throughout the course of their studies, even if they tested lower than their fixed mindset peers when they were younger. Students with growth mindsets view mistakes as learning opportunities.  A study comparing how kids with different mindsets play video games showed the difference. After making mistakes, students with a growth mindset performed better, with higher accuracy rates. Fixed-minded students did not show the same improvements. Classroom studies showed similar results. Instead of viewing mistakes as embarrassing, growth-minded students learn from them. Frame mistakes as  opportunities, and your children will see the benefits! Mistakes in Kumon Mistakes are an important part of the Kumon Program. In Kumon, students aren’t taught. Instead, they learn for themselves through carefully designed worksheets. Students follow directions and study examples to grasp new concepts. Errors come with the territory. Few kids can get long division or algebraic expressions  right on the first try! Instructors pay close attention to how students correct their mistakes. They then use that to lesson plan and assign work. Take Joey, for example. Joey sees subtraction for the first time in class. He gets every answer wrong on the first page. When he gets his worksheets back, he realizes he added instead of subtracted. He figures out his mistake and can correct it right away. It’s clear that Joey understood the concept and may not need much repetition to progress. While Kumon Students ultimately work towards mastery, the goal is not to receive a 100% on the first try. Learning from their mistakes is more important than perfection. In fact, it tells us a lot about the student and their motivation. Not every mistake is as traumatizing as the dreaded “reply all.” But every error is an opportunity to improve and learn. The next time your child makes a mistake, don’t get mad! Praise them for correcting and learning from it. You’ll be amazed at how impactful it can be! You might also be interested in: Motivating Children by Developing a Growth Mindset Neuro-what?
