A Quick Review of Ted Ed Biology
A Quick Review of Ted Ed BiologyTed Ed Biology, like most of the GED curriculum, is aimed at helping you become prepared for college. Ted Ed is an online course that gives you a sense of what the world of college really is all about. It is essentially a combination of live lectures and projects that allow you to study science, math, and language in a more effective manner. While it is not really difficult to understand, it is certainly much more challenging than doing a traditional GED or taking a traditional class.The audio lectures of Ted Ed are designed to aid the learner. They are interactive and allow you to interact with the lecturers throughout the course. You can learn through discussions, group work, and collaborative projects. Some people find that learning via lectures is difficult, while others find it very helpful. For this reason, there are typically five parts to Ted Ed Biology.The first part of Ted Ed Biology is an introduction to biology. It provides students with an overview of a person's entire body and how it works. It also covers some of the more important processes that go on inside our bodies. You will get a sense of how a tree or a fish breathes, how organs work, and what a cell looks like.Next, Ted Ed teaches you about the world of plant life. In this lesson, you will learn how plants look, and what they do. You will also learn how they produce energy, grow, and reproduce. In some lessons, you will learn about different varieties of flowers, and how plants produce different flavors and scents.Then, Ted Ed teaches you about animal life. Here, you will learn about animals such as fish, frogs, birds, and mammals. You will learn about animals' eyes, teeth, and other parts of their bodies.Finally, Ted Ed has a lot of practical advice. Topics include ways to improve your grades, studying in class, and what you should and shouldn't do. You'll also learn about the right way to carry yourself in class, and the proper way to eat. You will also le arn how to handle yourself in various situations, and how to be a good citizen in the world of college.As you can see, there are a number of lessons to Ted Ed Biology.

Mind Games Improving your Mental Practice
Mind Games Improving your Mental Practice Suzy S. Youve probably heard the phrase Practice makes perfect. But how about Mental practice makes perfect? Believe it or not, a lot of your success begins with your mind setting goals and then envisioning yourself reaching them, for example. Below, check out some advice from Hillsborough teacher Jessica R. and get your mind in motion! I tell all my students within minutes of walking through the door that learning to sing is a sport. It requires training your voice and your ears, the development of muscle memory and a passion to improve every time you show up for a lesson. What the audience hears is art, but they only get to hear you after months of coaching and practice have sculpted you into the Rocky Balboa of opera or musical theater. So what can we learn from actual athletes that will help us become better musicians? Sports psychologists have discovered that the most skilled athletes in any sport spend a lot more time looking at the target (the basketball hoop, the catcherâs mitt, etc.) than less skilled athletes. This focus is called the âQuiet Eye,â and using it gives them the time to prepare their movements mentally before they actually take the shot. I propose to you that the next time youâre out for a jog, stuck in traffic, or sitting in a waiting room, consider it the perfect opportunity to become a better singer. Concentrate on something youâre working on in your voice lessons that youâd like to improve. Be very specific with yourself about what it is. Hear the music in your head and try to form the most perfect version of it you can imagine. Try to feel the sensations in your body that you felt the very best time youâve ever sung. Avoid negative commentary like âDonât miss the high note!â or âDonât run out of breath!â and instead try things like âI need to sing more into the preparation note to nail this high noteâ and âI need to remember to breathe here in a relaxed and deep way.â Repeat this process until the thoughts become second nature. The results will show up right away the next time you practice! Want even more expert advice from our teachers? Sign up for email updates here! Jessica R. teaches singing, music performance, opera voice, and theatrical Broadway singing lessons to students of all ages in Hillsborough, NJ. Jessica joined the TakeLessons team in May 2012, with over 10 years of experience teaching voice and performing nationally as an opera singer.

The Med School Application Timeline From MCAT to Interview Prep
The Med School Application Timeline From MCAT to Interview Prep MCAT Medical School Admissions This is a guest blog post from our friends at InGenius Prep. Applying to med school requires careful thought, planning, and preparation. While the decision that you want to become a doctor can be made overnight, preparing takes a much longer time. Before you apply, itâs important to understand the application process, prerequisites, and timeline for applying to medical school. Deciding if Medical School is For You When you evaluate your career options, think about the future ahead â" not just the next four to five years in med school. Becoming a doctor requires serious educational commitment. Evaluate your ability to survive years of training, residency, and practice medicine for the rest of your life. More importantly, ask yourself: Do I have what it takes to succeed in medical school? Take a couple of weeks or months to make the decision. Seek advice from professors, your family, and talk to practicing doctors. Once you made the decision to pursue medicine, make sure to fulfill all med school prerequisites. Taking the MCAT Exam The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized multiple-choice exam that med school applicants need to take as part of the medical school admission process. In most cases, the test is taken one year prior to the year you plan to enter medical school. Normally, applicants take the MCAT exam during or after their junior year in college. There are many different ways to prepare for the MCAT, from self-study, to MCAT prep classes, to private MCAT tutoring. The MCAT, however, is a beast of an exam, relative to other standardized tests you may have taken. It not only tests core academic skills like reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and mathematics, but also speciic content knowlege in biology, physics, and chemistry. So, you need to plan to study for a bit longer than you might expect. Some students spend 6 months preparing for the MCAT. Applying to Medical School The entire medical school application process takes about one whole year, including AMCAS application, med school interviews, and acceptances. June marks the start of the AMCAS application submission. Because med schools use rolling admissions, the earlier you submit your AMCAS application the better. After you submit your AMCAS application, start working on your secondaries. Itâs important to start your secondary applications as soon as possible because often times you are required to write more than one additional essay. Try to return all of the medical school admission requirements within a few weeks to increase your chances of getting an early interview slot. Interviews and Acceptances Medical school interviews normally begin in mid-September and often continue through winter and early spring. If your application is evaluated early, expect to get notified as early as October. However, some med schools wait to notify all their candidates in March or April of the following year. If you got accepted to multiple schools, you should decide where you want to attend and withdraw your other applications. If you need help throughout your med school application process, anInGenius Prepadmissions expertcan provide you guidance every step of the way â" from your school list to yourinterview preparation. Summary In general, it's important to approach the process of applying to medical schoolstrategically, which means you need to 1) set a goal (i.e, target med school program(s), 2) build a fact-base around what it takes to reach it (i.e, required classes, MCAT score, etc.), 3) consider various alternative ways you could go about meeting your goal, design an approach that works best given your unique situation, strenghts, and weaknesses, and then develop aspecific plan. Approaching your academic and professional life more strategically is perhaps the most important of the seven rules MyGuru discusses in its new, free eBook -The 7 Rules of Academic Performance

Learn How To Use Those Pesky English Articles In 10 Minutes
Learn How To Use Those Pesky English Articles In 10 Minutes In todays class, we are going to look at something that a lot of students forget about when learning English. They are those pesky little words that go before nouns, a part of grammar called articles.First, lets look at the articles a and an. These articles are known as indefinite articles, which means that they are non-specific, and we use them when you are talking about something in general. A and an are always used before singular, countable nouns. Use a before nouns that begin with a consonant or a consonant sound, and an before nouns that begin with a vowel or a vowel sound.Examples:He is a teacher. teacher is a singular, countable noun that begins with a consonant. Use a.He is an actor. actor is a singular, countable noun that begins with a vowel. Use an.He has a euro. euro begins with a vowel, but it has a consonant sound (ow-er). Use a.I have an hour for my lunch break. hour begins with a consonant, but it has a vowel sound (ow-ur). Use an.Can you think of any oth er sentences that use a or an? Wed love to hear from you, so please write your ideas in the comment section below.Now that you have mastered the use of a and an, lets move onto the last article in todays post, the. With a and an, we are talking about something that is new, unknown or introduced to the reader/listener for the first time. When we use the, we are talking about something that has already been introduced to the reader/listener, also known as a definite article. Look at the sentences below to help you:I have a dog. The dog is black.There is a book in my bag. The book is very heavy.That was easy right!? Sometimes articles can be a little more difficult, especially when a clause or phrase in the sentence tells the reader/listener which person or thing we are talking about.Example: Can you give me the pen on the bed.This may seems incorrect, as the pen hasnt been introduced yet, however the phrase on the bed tells the listener/reader exactly which pen we are talking abou t. That means that the listener/reader knows the specific (definite article) we are talking about, so we use the.We hope you enjoyed todays blog post. If you think you are now fluent in the use of articles in English, go ahead and try this challenging quiz. As always, leave any comments you have in the section below and sign up here today for a trial class with LOI English.

His family were lucky as they were given the opportunity to come to the UK, but local schools would not accept him and there were concerns about lost education and also his emotional health.When Hadi started at Endeavour, he really seized on the opportunity that was offered. He had aspirations to go to university and was interested in a medical related route. Focused on improving his English, Hadi was given the opportunity to sit core GCSEs; on the strength of this he achieved a place at a local sixth form college. Hadi took part an Endeavour summer programme aimed at supporting and encouraging young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to take a university route and this has really galvanised his aspirations.He has remained in touch with Endeavour, returning to help us with our rebranding on a young people's focus group, and contributing to funding bids.

Yes, you can become a teacher without a degree in education. Heres how.
Yes, you can become a teacher without a degree in education. Hereâs how. If youâre reading this, youâve probably realized you want to be a teacher. But you didnât major in education. Maybe you didnât know during high school or early on in college that you wanted to pursue becoming a teacher and youâve recently graduated. If you find yourself wondering why you majored in sociology, computer science or biology, when the truth is, none of those are fields you actually want to pursue as a long-term career, youâre in good company. That nagging feeling that youâre not suited for what you just spent four or more years studying? You shouldnât ignore it. Or maybe youâre contemplating a career change. Just because youâre on a dedicated career path doesnât mean you have to stay on it forever, right? Perhaps youâve been feeling bored or frustrated at work lately. Or, you work in an industry with failing job opportunities. If youâre looking for a fresh challenge, itâs never too late to switch to a career in education. And hereâs the really good news - you donât have to go back to school and get another bachelorâs degree in education to make it happen. So letâs walk you through how you can still become a teacher, even if you didnât graduate with an education degree. Can I really become a teacher with just my bachelorâs degree? Itâs not in teaching! You can absolutely still train to be a teacher without a degree in education. Virtually every state in the country offers alternate routes to certification explicitly designed with you in mind. Word of caution: Thereâs lots of red tape involved with getting certified to teach. What makes it even trickier to navigate is that each state department of education has its own certification requirements. Thatâs why itâs critical that you carefully research licensure requirements in the state you want to teach in before applying to any sort of teacher preparation program, as different rules will inevitably apply. If you do want to get into education as a long-term career, though, enrolling in an alternative certification program is generally a pretty safe bet. More on that below. What kind of degree do you need to be a teacher? As mentioned above, having a non-education degree will not prevent you from becoming a teacher. For example, some private, charter and not-for-profit schools donât require applicants to have a teaching degree or hold state licensure. If you want to teach in the public school system (either as an elementary or high-school subject teacher), however, you will need a teaching license or teaching credential. Substitute teaching gigs can also be an excellent way for graduates with no teaching background to get some real classroom experience under their belt. Note: Most states set a four-year bachelorâs degree as the minimum education requirement for K-12 teachers. So, while you probably canât find work as a teacher if you have an associateâs degree, you could still qualify for jobs in education, either as a teaching assistant, preschool or substitute teacher. How to use your current degree to become a teacher. First stop: Check whether your state offers emergency teaching certificates. This is where bachelorâs degree holders can apply to teach subjects that are presently experiencing a shortage of qualified candidates. A few select states, including Texas, Missouri, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Mississippi, California and Arizona, grant temporary licenses to teachers in high-need areas like special education, as well as foreign language and STEM subjects. If youâre planning on teaching more advanced subjects in public high schools, such as math or science, and have a degree in a related field, thatâs generally enough for you to get an emergency status teaching job in one of these states. At the end, you can opt to take the state licensing exam and become a fully certified teacher. Donât panic if your state doesnât have an emergency certification pathway, however. There are plenty of alternative programs you can opt for instead. Can I get a teaching license with a bachelor's degree? OK, so we all know about the most obvious way to become a teacher: Obtaining an undergraduate degree that includes completing an accredited teacher preparation program, ultimately leading to licensure from your stateâs board of education. Hundreds of accredited colleges and university offer blended degree and educator prep programs to that end. The process of getting certified by your state usually entails passing an examination, such as a state test or Praxis exams. Thereâs usually a student teaching component required, too. Depending on the state you want to teach in, however, there are other state-approved alternative routes to certification available to you. Here are two other ways you can get certified to teach in the US (other than a tradiionial educator preparation program as part of your undergraduate degree). 1. Get your masterâs degree in education/teaching. There are two main options here: a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Master of Education. Of the course, the downsides are obvious - the cost of graduate school is high, youâll need to prepare for the GRE and commit to a couple of years of full-time study. In short, itâs not an option thatâs viable for everyone. The bonus is that youâll often have a higher starting salary. when you do finally qualify as a teacher. 2. Enter an alternative certification program. As the name implies, alternative certification programs are an alternative to traditional, degree-based teacher certification programs. Theyâre specially designed for people who decide to become a teacher in a K-12 public school settng after completing their bachelorâs degree in an unrelated field. Those who earn an alternative teaching certification usually teach in the subject area in which they majored in. Once youâve completed your alternative teacher certification program, you can then apply with the department of education in the state you want to teach in for a teaching role. There are a wide range of city, state and national alternative certification programs, offered by accredited private organizations and school districts, that let you earn your teaching credential while training in a classroom. The US government also provides financial aid to people enrolled in alternative certification programs. If youâre interested in teaching in a rural or inner-city school, you can also get hired without formal education training. Teach For America (TFA) and The New Teacher Project (TNTP) are two notable examples. Some states will also let you teach full-time, on the understanding that youâll go back to college and finish your education degree within a specific time period. Alternative certification teacher programs can be online and classroom-based. Making a decision about which format to take will be influenced by many factors, including your personal and work schedule and the options available in your area. How long does it take to get a teaching certificate with a bachelorâs degree? Alternative certification programs allow students with a bachelor's degree and career experience to earn a teaching license outside of the traditional route mentioned above. These programs will typically get you teaching in the classroom faster than a traditional education prep program. They are short, intensive programs designed to get you into the classroom as quickly as possible - some in as little as nine months, in fact. If your bachelorâs degree isnât education and youâre looking to fast track your teaching certification, there are even online teacher certification programs that let you teach while earning your teaching credential. I have a masterâs degree, how can I become a teacher? If you have an advanced degree in your chosen field, then youâre in luck. Itâs more than possible to find work as a teacher in most states without an education degree. Lots of public and private colleges and universities, for example, are keen to hire people with a masterâs degree or PhD. Final word of advice on how to get a teaching certificate if you already have a bachelorâs degree. While it can feel daunting to start over after four years spent studying one very specialized field, a career in teaching is incredibly rewarding. If you love working with young people and have a sense of accomplishment from helping students grow, then it might be worth tutoring on the side, shadowing teachers, or even working as a substitute teacher before you pursue obtaining your teaching credential, either through the traditional or alternative means mentioned above. Either way, congratulations on having taken the first step toward becoming a teacher. Good luck and happy teaching!
What Is Science Chemistry?
What Is Science Chemistry?The beauty of science chemistry is that students are able to learn about the behavior of the molecules within a substance as well as how to identify it. Students also learn how science involves experimentation and physical experimentation and that they can analyze the effects of each experiment they conduct. Science chemistry offers students a foundation for all other subjects in chemistry.Science makes use of mathematics in order to further explore the workings of nature and, most importantly, in order to learn about how to protect themselves from the many dangers associated with the environment. Science also includes the study of the world around us and how this affects our lives. Science involves exploring the many different types of matter that exists in nature and of course, the interactions between matter. This can be used as a foundation for everything from astronomy to marine biology.Scientists study the ways in which matter behaves in the form of so lids, liquids, gases, and their interactions. It is through the study of these types of matter that scientists are able to make so many discoveries and develop so many technologies that we take for granted today. Even those that have not been around for very long will notice the difference in the way everything is manufactured. There is no denying that science has had a major impact on our lives.Science has many branches, including biology, physics, chemistry, geology, astrophysics, botany, and anthropology. These include all of the subjects that have taken place at some point in time in a university or college. Not to mention all of the disciplines that take place in schools and other teaching institutions. Students can also learn more in basic science as they are taught the basics of chemistry and biology. This will allow them to understand that there are differences between the two and to understand their importance in their own lives.Science also involves experimentation. Some e xperiments may help in the development of drugs, but some other experiments may end up helping to save lives or even cure diseases. When students investigate the use of these drugs, they are helping to make the world a better place to live in. Chemists are also able to design medicines and drugs that are more efficient, more potent, and more able to fight diseases.One of the main features of science is that it builds on itself. It is through scientific research that we are able to create new and better products that help to make our lives better. Science can also be used to help us develop our understanding of how the earth works and what is happening in the various layers of the earth. Chemistry therefore involves examining the results of this process. Once we know the process, we can apply it to various things like society and the environment. It can be a great help when making sure that everyone has a healthy and safe environment to live in.So, if you have never learnt science be fore, don't wait too long! You'll soon realise just how much it is going to help you and your family.

University of Toledano Chemistry Department
University of Toledano Chemistry DepartmentA University of Toledio Chemistry Department may sound unusual, but it is one of the best in all of Mexico. It is located in the state of Tamaulipas, near to where the border comes into view. This is where all of the Mexican state borders begin, including Texas, and it is known as the largest one.Some people believe that there are two different universities in Mexico, but in reality there are only two, and they're the University of Todos Santos in Puebla and the University of Puebla. You can get a Ph.D. in Chemistry at either university. The Department of Chemistry, though, is the most prestigious in the whole country.This school is known for the various types of degrees that you can get from it, ranging from a Ph.D. degree to an Associate's degree. Other than that, the school is divided into four geographical areas: north, central, west, and south. There are also departments at the school for a number of different subjects, such as Engineer ing, Anthropology, and the History of Science.Since the Spanish conquest, the history of Chemistry is largely influenced by the development of a school of medicine, which is what the University of Todos Santos teaches. You'll find that they have a large presence in other countries like Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Brazil. They're all capable of teaching you about topics like chemistry, physics, and biology.Many students who go to these local universities are also willing to work on their diplomas as well. The more serious ones are even willing to help out with the economy in Mexico, just like we see in other countries around the world. Many employers are willing to hire people who hold a doctorate or a Ph.D. in Chemistry.In addition to a Ph.D. degree, you can also take classes that focus on a particular field of study, such as Physics. These types of classes will be taught in the Hall of Physics, which is located on the first floor of the Academy of Sciences. There a re many different types of subjects that you can study in this class, including both theoretical and experimental subjects.There are a lot of different things to do at this school, and they offer a wide variety of opportunities for students, not just because of the university itself, but because of the national society that this school has in Mexico. You will have your choice of students, fellowships, and research projects, which will all be listed in the school's website. The best part about it is that you can take classes in English as well, so there is no excuse for you not having the skills to learn how to read and write in English.

The Hammonds Postulate - Organic Chemistry
The Hammond's Postulate - Organic ChemistryThe Hammond's Postulate - as presented by Dr. Hammond in his famous lecture entitled 'Why Not Chemical, Organic, Medicinal or Veterinary?' at the Edinburgh Organic Chemistry Conference of July, 1987, the Hammond's Postulate is stated as follows: 'Every living organism has a distinctive pattern of operation that determines its reproductive capability.' Dr. Hammond then explained that inorganic and organic chemistry does not distinguish between bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, and zygotes. He stated: 'The explanation for this species distinction is simple; it is because every cell is self-contained, which means that every cell can grow and reproduce independently of the others'.This statement immediately raises an argument in favor of what may be termed the Hammond's Postulate, that organic chemistry should be focused on living systems. If this were so, then we could think of living cells as the basic constituents of the chemical world, and t he world of chemistry as the system of chemical reactions which effect those cells.In an attempt to dismiss the Hammond's Postulate, one might perhaps mention to a chemist, for example, that there are quite a few living cells in the world that produce chemicals, in other words, that living cells play a very important role in the life of the chemical world. This assertion, though, would be misleading, because there are simply too many living cells, and they each have a different role, for instance, respiratory systems, sebaceous glands, photosynthetic life, etc.What is most interesting, however, is that Dr. Hammond himself used rudimentary biology to support his position. And, if one can call biology rudimentary, as he did, the Hammond's Postulate is indeed the simplest of all the Postulates.Simply stated, the Hammond's Postulate states that all cells in the world are capable of producing chemicals, that is, they are capable of being the cells of living organisms. And, at the same ti me, all cells are also capable of reproducing independently. Since all cells possess the capacity for reproduction, then the cells must be linked, so to speak, together to produce offspring. The central implication is that if a cell lacks the ability to reproduce, it will die, leaving no offspring to reproduce.Nature's miracles are a far cry from those we see in laboratories. It is interesting to note that at the same time as the Hammond's Postulate was articulated, Michael Hart, a famous biologist who was a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, was addressing the same conference as Dr. Hammond. He stated that, 'I am convinced that my whole science can be traced back to the debate between these two men'.The Hammond's Postulate certainly must be taken seriously by organic chemistry, and no doubt, will provide the foundation for a new generation of organic chemists. A strong case can be made for the inclusion of the Hammond's Postulate in any new Organic Chemistry textbook. This theory of fundamental cells in the chemical world must surely be embraced by organic chemists who are deeply concerned with the physiological and even philosophical implications of living systems.
