What is Copper Chemistry?
What is Copper Chemistry?Copper Chemistry is the subject that involves the bonding of copper and an element, copper. The term chemistry refers to the study of chemical bonds, especially when it pertains to the elements. In chemistry, elements are studied using special techniques, whereas the atoms that make up a molecule can be viewed in other ways. The study of chemistry means exploring and discovering these elements, which can be classified into different types of compounds.A compound refers to the combination of two elements into one, which has the possibility of being called monomer, or polymorph, of the second element. Metal and chemists use the terms interchangeably.The chemistry of metals uses the following concepts. When metals are combined, they form something known as an alloy. The names of several different metals are used in the study of chemistry. There are also other names such as, and the list can go on forever.In the science of metals, it is very important to know abo ut how metals are formed. There are certain changes that occur in certain metals when they are mixed with other elements, making them a new metal. The different metals are classified into different groups. The different metals include, iron, lead, nickel, zinc, tungsten, copper, silver, gold, and mercury.The name refers to something that is usually a part of something else. It is usually used when the other element has two forms, and that could be through elimination or as the result of refluxing. Sometimes, these chemicals are simply named for their specific chemical properties. In the terminology of chemistry, the element is known as its formula. The elements' names change according to the addition of new elements, although the elements themselves do not change.Copper Chemistry may refer to the composite of copper and carbon. Amixture of copper and carbon is used to prepare a complicated mixture of three elements. These processes involve adding different metals to carbon and then baking them to form a solid, or clay, substance. The names of the elements and other properties that characterize the compound are the common elements used in the application of chemistry to metals.When it comes to metals, the study involves the use of many different sciences, including physical sciences, chemical sciences, physics, engineering, and computer sciences. Though it is used mostly in chemistry, in the past, it was also used in many other fields.

An Interview with a Volunteer Adam Schauer - Heart Math Tutoring
An Interview with a Volunteer Adam Schauer - Heart Math Tutoring An Interview with a Volunteer: Adam Schauer An Interview with a Volunteer: Adam Schauer September 3, 2019 It didnât take long for Adam Schauer to become a devoted member of the Heart Math Tutoring volunteer team. Heart Tutoringâs ability to âimmediately impactâ the Charlotte community is what first intrigued Adam, a Client Portfolio Manager at Barings, about serving with us years ago. We recently sat down with Adam to hear what makes being a Heart Tutoring volunteer special, in his own words. âYou donât even think about math. Youâre just interacting with them.â Beyond instilling the life skills that come with learning basic math, Adam says itâs the opportunity to mentor and positively impact childrenâs lives that makes the experience so rewarding. And Heart Tutoringâs playful approach to teaching math is a natural way to strengthen those mentor-mentee relationships, he reflects. Because the lesson plans are easy to grasp, and oriented around games and interactive problem-solving, children learn by way of connection. Adam his partner tutor, Mike with their student Adam says he enjoys engaging with children at their various learning levels and engaging in âfriendly competitionsâ with his partner teacher to give the most fun or interesting lesson each week. â[My partner and I] try to make it a fun, entertaining, playful environment,â he says. âWeâll joke and ask our student whose lesson he liked more that week.â HMT Note: This also challenges the student to reflect on their previous lesson. Way to go, Adam! â30 minutes is all it takes.â Charlotte professionals like Adam tend to stay busy in and outside of work. But Adam encourages those considering Heart Tutoring to not let the time commitment dissuade them from taking that step. As Adam puts it, âvolunteering just 30 minutes per week during limited times of the year can have a lasting snowball effect on the long-term development of these children.â âItâs refreshing to step out of the busy world and step into time with someone who needs more support and help than we realize,â he says. Thirty minutes a week can leave a lifetime impression, and to help maximize that positive impact, Adam started a carpool to make volunteering that much easier for his Barings colleagues. âThe long-term impact is their interest in learning more.â Beyond the successful math lessons, the biggest reward for Adam is seeing Heart Tutoring kids develop a new curiosity in general learning. âObviously you want them to have an ability to grow through academics ⦠But the longer-term impact â" where you can really see the kids come out of their shell â" is their interest in learning more. They bring an excitement to their tutoring session and they take that excitement home, to other studies, to telling their friends.â Adam, his partner tutor, Mike, with their student her mom âThatâs what keeps me coming back.â With the responsibility to mentor comes what he calls a âwelcome challenge.â Recognizing that all children respond differently to guidance and direction, Adam strives to approach every interaction with his students uniquely. âOnce you make that connection with a child, you really start building a strong relationship. And thatâs what keeps me coming back the most,â he says. âItâs the laughs, the giggles, the challenges.â One testament to the great impact of these tutoring sessions, Adam says, is interacting with students long after the sessions have ended. When you see them in the halls even years later, âthey run up to you, give you a high-five; they remember you and the impact you made.â Adam says itâs âthe laughs, the giggles, the challengesâ that sum up his favorite aspects of being a Heart Tutoring volunteer. Weâre grateful for Adam and his fellow Heart Math Tutoring colleagues from Barings. They are so giving of their time and financial generosity â" and we wouldnât make the same impact without them!
4 Homework Tools to Keep Children on Track
4 Homework Tools to Keep Children on Track Homework is a great way to reinforce what children learn in the classroom and provide opportunities to practice skills independently. Unfortunately, it can be a source of stress for many childrenespecially those who are naturally disorganized and tend to spin their wheels at homework time. Luckily, there are lots of aids that will help keep children on task and focused on what they need to accomplish. Here are some of Huntingtons tried-and-true homework tools for students: Homework completion chart Perfect for younger children who do not get a lot of homework but still need a simple way to mark off when they are complete with it, a homework completion chart teaches children good habits like writing down assignments and managing their tasks. Your child can keep this chart on hand during homework and check off subjects as finished. Heres an example of what this chart might look like: Week of: February 12 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Math X Spelling X Reading X Subject homework checklist For children who struggle to keep track of multiple subjects, a weekly by subject homework checklist is a good way to keep tabs on what they need to do each night and what is coming up. One weeks sheet should list out each subject (math, reading, science, etc.) and have five boxes underneath for the days of the week. One subject would look like this: Subject: Math Day Homework Monday Workbook p. 12-13 Read Math text p. 25-27 Review todays notes X Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Daily assignments sheet For those who like having the big picture, the daily assignment sheet is an invaluable tool. You can make copies for each day of the week. The idea is to get your child into the habit of recording to-dos at the end of each class and using that as his or her guide at homework time that night. Heres an example: Date: Monday, March 10 Subject Assignment Anything coming up? English Read text Chapter 2 Worksheet Test Friday Report due March 22 Math Text p. 14-17 Science Read text Chapter 3 Review notes from today Quiz Thursday on Chapter 3 History No homework, but study flash cards Test Thursday Spanish Worksheet Paper due March 25 Project plan For times when children have bigger projects to work on over the course of a few weeks, its a smart idea to break up the assignment into manageable tasks with deadlines. Encourage your child to create such a project plan as soon as the project is assigned. There are many ways to create a project plan, but heres one possible structure: Class: Social studies Assignment or project: Research paper Task Start date Deadline Done Select topic October 1 Create outline October 2 October 4 Research sources October 5 October 6 Narrow down to best materials October 7 October 7 Revise outline October 8 October 8 Rough draft October 10 October 12 Brainstorm visual aids October 13 October 13 Draft #2 October 14 October 15 Choose visual aid and start collecting materials October 14 October 16 Draft #3 October 16 October 17 Finalize visual aid October 17 October 18 Finalize report October 18 October 19 Proofread final report October 20 October 20 Turn in paper October 21 One of the keys to homework success is to stay organized, and charts and checklists help children do just that. In combination with use of the day planner, have your child try a few different methods and tools to discover what helps him or her be the most successful. Embracing such methods will give your child a sense of responsibility and ownership, help him or her stay focused on what he or she must do and when, and put those goals front and center.

Making your classrooms student-centered
Making your classrooms student-centered As teachers, our main focus is educating students. But how often do you ask yourself: are my lesson plans student-centered? Or most importantly: is my classroom student-centered? This isnât only a question for teachers teaching younger learning groups like elementary-aged students. Teachers of university-level students need to be conscientious of this as well. Itâs important to make sure you are creating a classroom space where each of your students can speak up and offer insights into lessons, communicate with one another, and make choices about their own learning paths. So how can you decide how student-centered your classroom is? Why not see how many of the statements below are true of your classroom: The student-centered classroom - a checklist I do things to show my students that I respect and value their opinions, and I can list at least three ways that I show them this in my classroom. I make sure that my students get to make at least some decisions about their learning process, whether itâs choosing specific classroom materials, specific assignments, etc. With regard to the physical space, I engaged my students in the desk arrangements and we regularly cycle through group and single-spaced seating. I often check in with my students individually to see how they are doing and how much of the material they are understanding. There is a good deal of student talk time in my classroom. I donât just provide direct instruction (demonstration, lecturing), but I try more facilitative modes of teaching like guiding, open-ended questioning, posing problems for classroom discussion, etc. Do you have other ways that you ensure your classroom is student-centered?

The Biggest Challenge of President Obamas Second Term
The Biggest Challenge of President Obama's Second Term President Obama took the oath of office from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. at the official swearing-in ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House on Sunday President Barack Obama will once again, be sworn into office of the President before the American people on January 21, 2013 (He was officially sworn in on January 20, 2013). This celebration of President Obama is an opportunity for us to also realize the accomplishments of the President in a hostile political climate, and recognize areas in which he miserably failed, particularly for college students, and the people in the African American community. Above all the challenges he will face in his 2nd term, the biggest will be his ability to lead. Imagine for a moment, had President Obama not had his stimulus plan, had Osama bin Laden not been killed, had the powers entitled to him as commander in chief not been dramatically increased, had Guantanamo bay been closed, had the Supreme Court of The United States ruled his Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. These are some realities of a country that prior to President Obamaâs election in 2008, was experiencing its greatest financial crises since the Great Depression, entrenched in one of the most painful wars in recent memory. All of the aforementioned battles point to the importance of President Obamaâs leadership. While criticism could be logged against President Obama on any of the battles, or his positions on policy, it is irrefutable that he has led this country with precision accuracy. As the effects of new legislation and policy begin to take full shape over the next couple of years, the challenge for Presidentâs Obamaâs lies is in his ability to lead a divided c ountry. Some would argue that this is the most significant mandate for President Obama for his 2nd term. The margin of error for President Obama was incredibly narrow over the course of his 1st term. We have seen over the past 4 years, a consistent attempt to identify any policy or legislation pursued by President Obama and his supporters in Congress, as a failure. Amid tumultuous battles between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, success was the only option for President Obama. Anything short of his promises coming into fruition, would lead to an inevitable characterization of his time in office as a failure, and a 2nd term as an unnecessary risk for the American people. Because of his steadfast pursuit of policies he promised for the American people, President Obama is being sworn into office for the second time. With that, comes a mandate to lead the United States through the upcoming battles that will persist. The effectiveness of his leadership is more important than ever. The discussions of the national debt and his pursuit of any reform will get the most national attention. Not to mention the debate, and any subsequent policy or legislation on weapon bans and illegal immigration. President Obama must lead, as he has done before, finding a way to promote effective cooperation on the part of his constituents in Congress. In the background of the national discussions however, lie several groups in the population that will surely demand their voices be heard. Is it out of the realm of possibility that students could stage a nationwide protests due to high tuition costs? Should these students rise up to produce some sort of social movement, President Obamas leadership would surely be tested. It would be in times like those, where the rapport he has established with members of congress would be so crucial. Would the legislative branch of government be in a position to produce any form of change? The leadership President Obama provides will speak directly to that. Furthermore, should those in the African-American community speak a little louder about the stark contrast in unemployment rates, how would President Obamaâs leadership rank? As with several of the issues hindering the black community, the issue is systemic; the issue is institutional. Will President Obama successfully lead our nation towards making sure the plight of certain groups is brought to the forefront of the national discussion? The issues are complicated. The routes he has to navigate will also prove to be cumbersome. The burden on President Obama however is simple. Lead the United State of America. Lead with conviction, promote cooperation, and with an awareness of the plight of groups in our country. Without his leadership, and effective decision making, the country will etch towards an entirely divided one. Those looking for answers, will continue to feel ignored unless he is able to unify our country. As President Obama embarks second term, the aforementioned are all worth considering under the guise of how he will lead. If his 1st term was any indication, he will find a way.
