A Quick Guide To Ash Chemistry

A Quick Guide To Ash ChemistryThose who are interested in the art of chemistry teachers should be aware of Ash Chemistry. Ash Chemistry is a study of the actual structure of the elements that make up an element. The composition of the element is in the form of atoms or groups of atoms and these atoms are packed together to make the atomic structure of the element. There are many levels of Ash Chemistry and each level is a subject in itself.Ash Chemistry is the first level of Ash Chemistry and takes the form of knowing about the elements we see in the physical world but that does not really exist chemically. The laboratory work that we do in this level is based on this real-world knowledge but it is actually based on the theoretical levels of Ash Chemistry and is based on the fact that what you find in the laboratory does not actually exist outside of it.This also has a direct influence on the research we do in science and is basically the basis for all scientific research. In this le vel, there is no such thing as chemistry as you would normally see it in our daily lives. We use the four elements and each of them is known to be made up of one or more atoms. This means that we can separate out the different combinations that could be used to make a chemical compound.Each element has a property that allows us to form compounds in which one element is combined with another to make the chemical reaction. The property will include how this chemical reaction will occur.Chemistry is based on the atom rather than the molecule and that is why you cannot create a molecule of chlorine from chlorine gas. This can be done by the use of a chemical reaction where the combination of these two substances causes a reaction. It is due to this fact that the properties of the substances we find in nature will have an influence on our research and understanding of these substances.The properties of chemical elements can be seen in the actual elements that we are familiar with. Howeve r, this has caused a division in the field of chemistry due to the fact that some of the more complex chemical reactions can only be done using the simpler atoms that we know about.Ash Chemistry is very popular among chemistry teachers as this form of chemistry gives you a wider range of knowledge on these molecules and their properties. It also allows us to be more creative in how we present our subjects in this form of chemistry.

L to R (Bottom Row): Cristina, Girish, Revanth, and Shishir. Science is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves.  It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world. -former U.S. President Barack Obama The education of science, technology engineering, also referred to as STEM, has been sweeping the nation and since gained popularity among young students. With a rise in the demand of STEM-related careers, education programs that have a focus in STEM have become vital for our future. These programs not only inspire our future scientists or engineers, they challenge their critical thinking skills and push them towards exploring the unknown. For a group of students in Ohio, their natural sense of curiosity and desire to find solutions to make a difference in the world lead them to an award-winning idea. It all started back in 2016, when a group of five students from Kumon of West Chester (Ohio) wanted to put their skills to the test and accept  a challenge presented to them by their Instructor, Lisa Williamson, along with other Kumon parents. They came together and recruited five younger students from the center to form the Robo Rangers, a Lego Robotics Team. The Robo Rangers went on to compete in the FIRST Lego League Robotics Challenge (FLL). The FLL seeks bright young students to research a real-world problem, such as food safety or recycling, and then develop a solution to the problem. The solutions developed by teams include basic STEM applications, critical thinking, presentation skills, and creativity. In their first year, the Robo Rangers walked away with a Judges Award at the Regional Tournament. The Judges Award is given in recognition to a team that may showcases unique efforts, performance, or even a story that sets them apart from the competition. The team did not stop there. In 2017, the Robo Rangers won their Regional Tournament Championship, landing them in a spot to compete at the World Championship Tournament in Detroit, MI. The stakes were high for the Robo Rangers at the World Championship Tournament, competing against 110 award-winning teams from around the world. The team came together to develop a solution to provide those in third-world countries with clean drinking water. Their solution dubbed the name “MorinGo,” a transportable barrel that uses moringa seeds (a drought resistant plant) to naturally filter water. The ground moringa seeds coagulate the dirt and bacteria from the water and settle to the bottom of the barrel. This then leaves potable water on top of the barrel. The transportable barrel is useful in third-world countries where people must walk for miles just to get to a water source. The Robo Rangers and their proud parents were awarded the Research Award at the World Championship Tournament. They were recognized with this award due their extensive research efforts and deep understanding of the problem that they identified. Fueled by their win, the Robo Rangers wanted more and went back to the drawing board to discover another problem to solve in 2019. After extensive research, the students discovered that astronauts were experiencing a decline in their eyesight due to microgravity. After an extended trip in space, astronauts Scott Kelly and Michael Barret were faced with this issue â€" leaving them almost blind. With this danger in mind, NASA has grown concerned about how this could potentially impact future space exploration for astronauts. The Robo Rangers created “Robo Vision 20/20” in hopes to eradicate this health risk for astronauts. “Robo Vision 20/20” adds a pin hole visor to the astronaut’s helmet. The design features a replica of a dragonfly’s eyes to protect the eyes from exposure to microgravity. A dragonfly’s field of vision is 360-degrees and are known to have exceptional tracking ability. By replicating a dragonfly’s eye in this helmet, not only enhances an astronaut’s field of vision, but also provides a layer of protection with the retinal implant. The judges  were again impressed by the research and the final product the team developed. The Robo Rangers were one of three finalists in Ohio to advance to the World Championship, taking place in Detroit this April. It is rare for a FLL Team to qualify for the World Championship in back-to-back years. Kumon wishes Bhuvan, Ananynaa, Joshua and Revanth the best of luck in the competition! “The Kumon Method was the foundation for the team’s success. The students were able to excel in their academics along with extracurricular activities,” said Lisa Williamson, Kumon Instructor of West Chester. The parents that coached the Robo Rangers inspired additional families from the Center to form six more robotic teams. The Robo Rangers were brought together by their common bond of learning through the Kumon Method.” You might also be interested in: With a Passion for STEM, this Kumon Student is Effecting Change Kumon Student is Committed to Spreading Kindness Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship Meet Gitanjali, a Former Kumon Student who Is Changing the World Kumon of West Chester Students to Compete in the First Lego League World Championship Kumon of West Chester Students to Compete in the First Lego League World Championship L to R (Top Row): Rishika, Natasha, Isabella, Amisha, Joshua, and Bhuvan.

9 Ways to Improve Your LinkedIn Profile

9 Ways to Improve Your LinkedIn Profile Photo Credit: linkedin.com 1. Your Photo. Your picture should be up to date, professional-looking, and should include only you in the shot no cropping you out of a group shot where you have somebodys unattached hand on your shoulder. Your photo should also preferably not have a distracting background and should be somewhat cropped in on your face so youre easily recognizable and front and center. If possible, avoid selfies. 2. Your Summary. Your summary is an absolute necessity to your LinkedIn profile but it shouldnt be too long or too short. While you may be able to use up to 2,000 characters, keep it shorter and use the space to really let other users get to know you in your voice and your tone. Discuss your major accomplishments, your background, and what your goals are, and make it personal; your description could make the difference between someone wanting to hire you and a potential employer choosing someone else. Make yourself stand out. 3. Your Headline. Though only 120 characters long, they are super important to your profile as they relay the most basic thing about yourself you want others to know. Be sure to include the most important keywords and how you are branding yourself as this is the first thing connections and possible recruiters will see on your LinkedIn profile. When coming up with your headline, try to keep in mind what your goals are for your career and write your headline based on what you want to do and be next while also highlighting your current experiences and or employment. 4. Your Groups. Similar to Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups are numerous and diverse, but important to join. Theyre great ways to network, find out about employment opportunities, get advice from others in your field or looking to get into your field, and increase your visibility. There are over 1.8 million LinkedIn groups you can consider joining, so try to find ones that are most relevant to you and your future and start interacting with other members in the groups you never know where those connections may lead. 5. Your Publications. Though you may not include links to your publications on your resume, on LinkedIn its super easy to add them to your profile and they are much more likely to be clicked on through the site. Be sure to add links to your published works to your LinkedIn profile or if there is no link, still include the name and date of the publication and perhaps a short sentence about what your work was about. You can also add links and info for interviews, videos, photographs, etc. Photo Credit: mashable.com 6. Your Connections.  Unlike Facebook, you dont have to know someone on LinkedIn to ask to connect with them (though people often follow the same rule on Facebook). Find someone whos interested in the same field as you? Consider connecting with them. Discover somebody who works at your dream company? Send them a request to connect. Having a lot of connections means you have the ability to more broadly network and reach out to people you otherwise wouldnt have even known about. Sometimes its about who you know, or who the people you know know. 7. Your Honors and Awards. This is where you get to highlight your awesomeness (#HumbleBrag). Anything from college and onward is okay to include here. Were you on the Deans List? Add it to this action. Were you the first Latina to receive a specific scholarship? List that accomplishment here. Anything you think is worth a potential employer knowing about that sets you apart and shows youre a go-getter, that you take initiative, that you work hard, and that youre an impressive person should be shortly listed in this section. If you rock at something, people should know about it. 8. Your Skills and Endorsements. This section of your LinkedIn profile is one of the most crucial as it allows other LinkedIn users and connections to affirm what skills you possess. By getting endorsements, it gives you credibility as others are willing to back up the skills you claim to have which gives future employers a bit more reliability as far as knowing what theyll get if they hire you. If youre having trouble getting people to endorse you, consider reaching out to a former boss and asking them to endorse a skill they know you have or endorse a friends skill and theyll probably endorse you back. 9. Your Recommendations. While the skills and endorsements are important, actual recommendations arguably carry more weight. Through LinkedIn, you can ask for a recommendation from a colleague, former boss, professor, or other connection who will write good things about you, which will look good to anyone looking at your LinkedIn profile or considering you for a job. So if you havent already executed these nine steps to improve your LinkedIn profile, theres no time like the present to do so. The sooner you improve and optimize your profile, the better your chances of being noticed by recruiters and gaining more connections and contacts, which is always a good thing.
