...In the 4th quarter of 9th grade science we continued our study of chemistry with a focus on chemical formulas, chemical reactions, and stoichiometry. Formative assessments included practice questions on how to write proper names and formulas for chemical compounds, balancing equations, converting between chemical units, and titration problems. The lab experiments for the quarter consisted of a freezing point experiment, chemical flame test comparison, the activity series of four metals, production of hydrogen, and the titration of an unknown concentration of acid. Summative assessments for the quarter were an evaluation of the freezing point experiment, written exploration of the flame test experiment, and two unit exams on chemistry topics. In 10th grade students will study science topics related to biology, environmental science, and some...

Knowledge is the basis of living in our generation, knowledge can be anything like if we know what type of combination in clothes we should wear, or what type of food we should eat and even if you know how to propose a girl or a boy then that can be known as knowledge too. But where the focus goes on is the place where the knowledge comes from, it can be taken as an important question while pointing at the ways of knowing. Ways of knowing are the origins from which we gain knowledge such as TV, newspaper, radio, books, internet, family, etc. These were some examples of ways of knowing with which we can relate our daily life. But as far as I studied the main points for ways of knowing are: * Emotion * Faith * Imagination * Intuition * Language * Memory * Reason * Sense perception Now we must know what the areas of knowledge in Theory of knowledge are. Actually it is the division of knowledge into different areas: ...

...IB Chemistry Lab Report Design Example— Effect of Temperature on Solubility of Potassium Chloride in Water Research question How does temperature affect the solubility of potassium chloride in water? Hypothesis As the temperature of water increases, the particles of solid Potassium chloride, KCl, which are absorbing energy from its surrounding, start moving more easily between the solution and its solid state because. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the particles will shift to the more disordered, more highly dispersed solution state. I predict that as the temperature of a KCl and water mixture increases, then the solubility of the KCl will also increase. Variables Dependant variable The dependant variable will be the solubility of Potassium chloride in water that will be calculated at different temperatures. The solubility will change as temperature increases. Independent variable The control variables need to be constant in order to get valid and accurate results. The temperature of the solutions. Controlled variables The volume of distilled water used to dissolve Potassium chloride in each beaker The amount of Potassium chloride deposited into each beaker. The volume of the solution extracted by the syringe.

...Determinants of Price Elasticity of Demand Register for FREE to remove ads and unlock more features! Learn more A good's price elasticity of demand is largely determined by the availability of substitute goods. Learning Objectives • Explain how a good's price elasticity of demand may be different in the short term than in the long term. • Relate the existence of close substitutes to a good's price elasticity of demand. ________________________________________ Key Points o A good with more close substitutes will likely have a higher elasticity. o The higher the percentage of a consumer's income used to pay for the product, the higher the elasticity tends to be. o For non-durable goods, the longer a price change holds, the higher the elasticity is likely to be. o The more necessary a good is, the lower the price elasticity of demand. ________________________________________ Term • Substitute Good A good that fulfills a consumer need in a way that is similar to another good. Register for FREE to remove ads and unlock more features! Learn more Full Text The price elasticity of demand (PED) is a measure of how much the quantity demanded changes with a change in price. The PED for a given good is determined by one or a combination of the following factors: • Availability of substitute goods: The more possible substitutes there are for a given good or service, the greater the elasticity. When several close substitutes are available, consumers can easily switch from...

...The National Teachers College Quiapo, Manila Psychology Department Educational System Of SINGAPORE (Group Project) Secondary education in Singapore Most secondary schools in Singapore offer 4-year or 5-year courses leading up to the GCE O-level examination. A notable exception are the Integrated Programme (IP) schools, which offer a 6-year course leading up to the GCE A-level examination or the International Baccalaureate examination. Autonomous schools have more autonomy as compared to other government-run secondary schools to plan their own curriculum and activities. However, such schools may charge a SGD$3 to SGD$18 miscellaneous fee on top of the regular school fees paid by all students attending government-run secondary schools. Independent schools are granted autonomy to design their own school curriculum as well as other school programmes. They are also allowed to choose their own students and set their own school fees. Their school fees are therefore usually higher than that of government-run schools, though such schools and the Ministry of Education offer some scholarships to offset the school fees. Program for Secondary Education Based on results of the PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination), students are placed in different secondary education tracks or streams: "Special", "Express", "Normal (Academic)", or "Normal (Technical)". Singaporeans are forbidden to attend international schools on the island without Ministry of Education permission. ...

...Determining the equilibrium constant from pH values of changing concentrations of ethanoic acid Design Research question: How will altering the concentrations of ethanoic acid affect the pH value, and, in-turn, the equilibrium constant? Background information: When weak acids react, the reaction typically does not go to completion. Rather, the system goes to an intermediate state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Such a system is said to be in chemical equilibrium. When equilibrium is reached, the reactants and the products have concentrations which do not change with time. When in equilibrium at a particular temperature, a reaction mixture obeys the Law of Chemical Equilibrium, which imposes a condition on the concentrations of reactants and products. This condition is expressed in the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction. In this experiment, I will study the equilibrium properties of the reaction between ethanoic acid, otherwise known as acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water (H2O): CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq) When solutions containing ethanoic acid and water are mixed, they react to some extent, forming CH3COO- and H3O+. As a result of the reaction, the equilibrium amounts of CH3COOH and H2O will be less; for every mole of CH3COO- formed, one mole of CH3COOH and one mole of H2O will react. The equilibrium constant expression Kc for Reaction 1 is: Kc = [CH3COOH] / [H3O+][CH3COO-] The value of...
