The best way to think of this method is to first think of what kind of planet you want to live on! Your planet needs the food and fresh air you breath, but to do that it needs other things as well. And the best ways to get those things are for you to have a healthy supply of fuel to power the world!Let's say that you want to use your KSP Chemistry Formula in your home. A home generator is the first thing that come to mind, but when you realize that you'll need a couple of other things for it to work, you're thinking that it won't work.Then you'll realize that the KSP Chemistry Formula that you are going to use has some recipes that you have to follow to make your home generator work. You have to be aware that the home generator can only work on the fuel that it needs. And the fuel that it needs is the things that your home needs to function, like heat and light.Now that you know that you have to use all of those things in your home generator, you can start putting them together using the guide that I just gave you. All you have to do is go to Google and do a search for 'KSP Chemistry Formula', choose the best one that gives you the most recipes for the generator, and then copy them all to your notebook.Now go to Google again and do a search for 'Home Generator - KSP Chemistry Formula', and choose the best one. Paste all of the formulas into a notebook or anything you have, and then store all of them in a location where you will find them. That way, you will always have everything you need to make your home generator work.Afteryou have the spreadsheet full of formulas, take out a bottle of alcohol and get a yeast product to use for brewing the fuel for your home generator. By the time you finish with the batch of alcohol, you will have all of the ingredients needed to make a batch of KSP Chemistry Form ula that you can use for your home generator. Then all you have to do is copy the formula and put it into your notebook or anything that will give you access to it.So that's it - your home generator is now set up to make it possible for you to take the home that you have and make it into a comfortable home for you and your family to live in. Now you can relax and enjoy a peaceful home that never has to worry about the cost of fuel anymore. And that's a great feeling.

Standardized Test Practice Tips
Standardized Test Practice Tips Practice Makes Perfect When it Comes to Standardized Tests With the implementation of the Common Core Standards in nearly every state, standardized testing is becoming more prevalent throughout all grade levels. Students are expected to demonstrate mastery of the standards and perform accordingly based on grade level expectations. Standardized test practice is an essential component of preparing for these exams because it boosts confidence and helps students know exactly what to expect on test day.There are a variety of ways to implement standardized test practice. The professional tutors at Huntington Learning Centers implement a range of methods to prepare their students. Our favorite test prep tips include: Practice both content and format Simply understanding the assessed content isn't enough. If a student has never encountered authentic practice the format may present a significant roadblock. Students should understand and be familiar with how the test is administered, the best ways to answer different exam items, and the types of questions most likely to be on the exam. This knowledge allows your child to focus on the content being assessed instead of spending time trying to interpret confusing test directions and wrestling with the format. Require an explanation Asking your child to explain something is great practice for standardized tests and for learning in general. Knowing how to complete a question or arrive at an answer is just the first step. A student must also be able to explain the answer to display full mastery on many standardized tests. Part of the standardized test preparation we offer at Huntington Learning Centers teaches students how to explain their work. Upon completing a math problem or arriving at a conclusion on a reading comprehension item students are often asked to explain the answer. We work alongside students to help them construct an explanation that shows how they arrived at an answer. This support is personalized and the amount of assistance provided is based on individual student needs. Put old tests to good use Many organizations that administer standardized tests publish previous forms for student use and practice. The old forms of a standardized test can be used in a variety of ways. Our professional tutors at Huntington Learning Centers use previous forms for initial assessment, targeted practice, and ongoing progress monitoring. They are also used to reinforce the different types of exam questions and to present test taking tips. When students have the opportunity to participate in a practice test under actual testing conditions they will gain confidence and an understanding of how the exam is administered. Monitor ongoing student progress Careful standardized test preparation should carefully monitor your student's progress. An initial assessment that identifies a student's strengths and areas of need is an ideal way to begin practicing. These assessment results are invaluable in determining what areas to focus on and a child's individual needs. The progress monitoring should be ongoing to understand how the learning needs may have changed. Our tutors use assessment results to create customized tutoring plans that meet the individual needs of every student. No two children are alike, no two students learn in the exact same way, and each of our students receives instruction based on assessment data and individual strengths and weaknesses. You can trust that your child will receive personalized instruction that mirrors the data from ongoing progress monitoring assessments.Click on one of the social media links above to share this with other parents that may benefit from the information.

LinkedIn Just Stepped It Up Introducing LinkedIn Profinder
LinkedIn Just Stepped It Up Introducing LinkedIn Profinder image via www.linkedin.com You think itâs silly to make a profile since you still have a lot of schooling left and need to acquire more experience for the field you want to go into. But what if I told you that itâs more important now than ever before to make a LinkedIn account? LinkedIn just made a huge change to accommodate the ever-adapting workforce, and this is a bandwagon that you definitely want to jump on. LinkedIn just launched a new service called LinkedIn Profinder, which connects consumers with independent service providers. Thatâs right freelance people, this one is for you! This is a place where short-term gigs and freelance handiwork will thrive. I was so excited to see this addition, because on the regular platform, it was extremely hard for me to find anything in writing and editing that worked for me, but now Iâll be able to offer my writing service as a freelancer, and can also simply search for something temporary if I am short on cash. This is a goldmine for college students, because a lot of us will have more freelance experience as we earn our way towards our degrees so we will look good on these applications. This is calling all of you creative folk who like to design wedding invites, you life coaches, you math whizzes who can do peopleâs taxes, and so on. And who is to say that you only have to offer your own services? This is a great way for you to find local freelancers if you ever need help on something. Maybe you are trying to make a name for yourself with your art and need a professional looking website, which you donât know how to really do, so you go on LinkedIn Profinder and get matched with the perfect web design freelancer for the job. There are over 150 service areas to choose from so far, and Iâm sure this will grow as LinkedIn gathers more data on what the public wants. But how does it really work? Well, you get to put yourself out there for free until you hit 10 places, and then LinkedIn is going to require that you get a membership for $60 a month. This isnât all bad since after you sign up, you can then submit your resume and profile an unlimited amount of times, meaning more business/services for you! The great thing is that LinkedIn is so popular and widespread that tons of people will be clicking on your freelance services, and you know that itâs a site that you can trust since people have to give their names, a photo, and youâll be able to review their profile before agreeing to anything. If you are the one requesting a service, LinkedIn Profinder will try and get about five professionals to respond to your inquiry in 24 hours. This is really nifty since it would take you much longer to research all of the freelancers yourself, and LinkedIn can help highlight the good ones for you so you can save time and wonât get frustrated. pexels.com So what does this all mean? Well, if you havenât already, you need to make a LinkedIn account, like right now. No seriously, stop reading this for a second and go make one. You can use it for a freelance job now, build up some credibility and get some endorsements, and then use it later on for a 9-5 job, or continue with freelance. You donât have to pay right away, so you can beef up your profile and check it out before you commit if you are still a bit unsure. When thinking about what you want to put on your profile for Profinder, you might want to tweak it a bit from what you merely have printed on your resume. Sure, a client needs to know that you are qualified, but also seeing your dedication and how your service will be their best bet is a great thing to have in there as well. Make sure to be professional and friendly if a client contacts you, and if you have samples of your work, make sure there is a link or a photo on your profile so a potential client knows what you are capable of. The sooner you learn how to navigate this job marketplace, the more prepared you will be. Even if you are doing job and freelance job searches outside of the LinkedIn site, a lot of online applications let you link your LinkedIn account to them so you donât have to type out all of your experience and things like that, so that is a great time saver as well. In a world that moves as quickly as ours does, you always want to be one step ahead of the competition, and LinkedIn Profinder is here to help with that.

5 Steps To Becoming One Of The Healthiest Colleges In The U.S.
5 Steps To Becoming One Of The Healthiest Colleges In The U.S. image via fluxbuzz.com Using those healthy colleges as our examples, letâs compile a list of how to get your college to be healthy, so youâll definitely make the charts next year! Here we go. 1) Dining halls What is cooking in your dining hall? Considering that most students eat there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it is very important that what is being served is health conscious. Some schools, like UC Santa Cruz, offer one day a week where the dining hall doesnât serve any meat. This saves a lot of water and shows students how to make other healthy choices. Clemson University, the first college in the article on the healthy list, âis also committed to providing meals that feature fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, making it that much easier to maintain a healthy diet.â If college dining halls offer nutritional information, it will make students more aware of what they are eating, and help them come to an understanding of what portions they should be having of which foods. Locally sourced produce is another way that your university can get healthy. Fresh fruits and veggies from your schoolâs garden or from local venders will keep things nice and fresh, and youâll know exactly where they are coming from. These local foods tend to be organic as well, so you donât have to worry about pesticides. If your school is not providing you with these food options, make it happen! All students want to be healthy, they just need a little help. http://www.zencollegelife.com 2) Get active Another thing that is offered by those healthy colleges on that handy dandy list are ways to get active. Healthy schools offer a wellness center, that is a given, but they also provide students with fun ways to get active and make it feel less like a chore and more like fun. Things like fitness classes, personal trainers, intramural sports, and outdoor excursions are all steps in the healthy direction. This offers a multitude of ways for students to stay fit that will reach out to a bigger audience than just a gym will. Giving students challenges to always walk to class or to work out a certain amount of hours to get a prize are both great motivators as well for those students who just need an extra push to get started. 3) Overall health Healthy schools need to provide information on all aspects of health. For example, Penn State âprovides resources and education on sexual health, smoking cessation, drugs and alcohol, fitness and nutrition, and eating disorders.â It is important for students to know how things are affecting their bodies, and to have a place where they feel safe asking questions and getting answers. Some of the schools even provide help with sleeping problems, since this is a common thing that students have trouble with and not getting enough sleep can really tear down your health. Having counselors and safe environments to take care of your metal health is extremely important, because you should never feel alone. Healthy schools also tend to provide free health screenings for some STDâs, and provide condoms and information on safe sex to help promote healthy relationships. http://www.tintup.com 4) Dealing with stress All college students feel stressed, and thatâs where healthy schools can come into play. Like at the University of Iowa, it is important for students to have access to different âlearning styles, motivation and goal setting, tips for managing ADHD, test anxiety management, and time management.â Especially for new students or students who are switching majors and have added stress, having these resources available would allow them to find an outlet for the stress and a solution for their worries, so they can stay on track without having to stay awake all night worrying about everything they have to do. Some schools even bring animals in around midterms and finals, so students can go pet some fluffy dogs and rabbits (or whatever animals are available) to de-stress before the test. Itâs crazy how much that actually helps! 5) A good community A school community that strives together thrives together. Having a school that is invested in helping students meet new people will see better results in the healthy department. Having good influences around you who are eating well and getting active will give you the mindset of doing the same. Schools that host events where many students will attend and mingle will be able to build a community and therefore be able to promote healthy living to all the students and their friends. Itâs awesome what a little teamwork can do. Now you know what you have to do, so make it count. Ban together with your fellow classmates and help show your school why getting healthy is the way to go. Who knows, maybe your school will be on the healthy list next year.
End of Grading Period Crunch Time - by TutorNerds
End of Grading Period Crunch Time - by TutorNerds End of Grading Period Crunch Time The end of term is not that far away. Final grades are coming up and if you happen to be on the trimester system each grading period is relatively short. Many students find that they can maintain an A right up until the end and then they get a little too stressed out and their final grade becomes a B. This is not the end of the world because a B is still a good grade. However, if you want to get straight As there are a few things that you can do to stay on task that last week of the grading period (READ: College Application Crunch Time). 1. Talk with your Orange County private tutor ahead of time Let your tutor know that the end of the grading period is coming up. It is likely that your tutor has several students who may be on different grading systems as some schools have a semester system and others have a trimester system. It is important to be upfront with your tutor about what grade you want to receive. Ask him or her if you can schedule an extra session or two to stay on task. If you have a large research paper due for an AP class make sure that you have it written well in advance and keep in mind that most longer research papers require at least three drafts and a minimum of one proofread by a third-party (a tutor or someone in your study group). If you wait until the last minute its harder to arrange for proofreading or the writing of a final draft. The most important thing is to get your content down and take care of basic grammar errors later on (READ: Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam). You can also ask your tutor to help you stay organized. For example, if you know youre getting a little bit tired at the end of the term, see if your tutor can help you work more efficiently so that youre not just adding more hours and becoming more fatigued. 2. Check in with your study group Many students are very involved in their study groups at the beginning of the semester and then drop out as their grades stay high. Its very important to meet with your study group at least once a week if not more. You can help your fellow students stay on task and they can do the same for you (READ: The Students Guide to Study Breaks). 3. Ask if you can temporarily cut back on your extracurricular activities If youre in a volunteer club it seems reasonable to cut back on your hours the week before the end of the grading period. Perhaps someone else in the group can take some of your hours and you can pay them back later on. If you have a part-time job, ask your boss if you can take that one week off, there might be another person that would love to pick up some extra shifts and earn some extra cash. 4. Create a timeline for success If you know ahead of time what you need to do and when you need to do it, things will become a lot easier as you get towards the end. For instance, you can write something in a Google calendar or similar to ensure that you meet all of your deadlines. If you need a reminder, you can set an alarm on your phone or arrange to have an email sent to you from your calendar. 5. Talk to your teacher Ask your teacher at school how close you are to maintaining an A (or whatever grade you want to receive) and ask him or her what you can do to stay on track. Some teachers offer extra credit, which might be a good idea to stay on the safe side. Alternatively, you may need to participate a little bit more in class discussions or if your teacher gives you an assignment with a minimum of three paragraphs, try writing four or five. Do extra proofing on all your papers to make sure that theyâre high-quality and double check all of your Internet sources and citations (READ: 10 Study Tips from an Irvine History Tutor). Maintaining straight As or any GPA above 3.5 can be very difficult but if you worked really hard to do well for two or three months, dont let it slip at the very end. However, if things dont go as planned this semester just think about what didnt work and you can use this information as a learning experience for the next term.

Irvine AP tutoring 4 AP Test Prep Online Tools
Irvine AP tutoring 4 AP Test Prep Online Tools Tips from an Irvine AP Tutor: 4 AP Test Prep Online Tools Tips from an Irvine AP Tutor: 4 AP Test Prep Online Tools AP exams are just around the corner and students who have been working hard all year want to ensure the score of 3 or higher so they can get college credit for all that hard work. However, prepping for advanced placement exams is easier said than done. Students are also coping with finals and working on their AP in-class projects simultaneously. As a result, AP students will need to fit in their test prep in any spare moment so why not take some help from some excellent and innovative AP test prep apps that can help students stay on track and give them the best chance of success this May. 1. AP Exam Prep Psychology, U.S. History and more Questions to Know by Test Day Most teachers and tutors will agree that what students really need is a lot of practice. Multiple choice questions are hard enough to master when it comes to a subject students are really familiar with, but what if their AP class has been especially difficult? In comes AP Exam Prep By gWhiz, LLC. The starter app has up to 50 questions for several different subjects as well as in-app purchases that give students extra practice that cost between $6.99 and $9.99. This app is a lot more expensive than many when it comes in app purchases, however that extra practice can be well worth it and test prep booklets are usually more expensive. This can work for students taking just one AP class or multiple AP classes at the same time. 2. AP Exam Prep LITE Series By K12 Inc. This series offers a free version of their app on several subjects. Students can work on free response or multiple choice questions. Students can also flag topics or issues that they are consistently getting wrong and come back to them later in the quick review. If a student needs to write an essay they can either write the essay in full or work in plan mode where they can simply practice creating an outline for their essay. Whether a student is working on world history, US history, calculus, or English, this series can help them get closer to the score they need through additional practice and organization. They also have a flash card series where students can work on memorization (READ: SAT and AP Exam Survival Guide). 3. No Fear Shakespeare Students studying AP English language and literature are probably struggling to figure out whats going on in the various plays by Shakespeare. These students arent alone, and a plain language version can make or break a students ability to analyze a work of The Bard. SparkNotes offers a great online study tool called No Fear Shakespeare where students can get a plain language version some of the most popular works of Shakespeare himself. Once everything is written in Modern English, it tends to make a lot more sense. 4. The college board practice questions One of the best online tools students can use is the College Board website. They are the makers of the test after all so why not get some practice straight from them. The College Board website has several practice questions as well as essay prompts and free response questions along with scoring guidelines and sample answers. These free materials are an excellent resource for any student studying any AP subject. Students are encouraged to utilize all of the materials on the College Board website to determine where their strengths and weaknesses lie while theyre studying for the exam (READ: AP Test without the class?). Regardless of what online study materials students use or how much they pay for them its important to study for AP exams prior to taking them. The actual classroom course will prepare students in many ways but getting extra help outside of the classroom can help ensure a score of 3 or higher. The smartest way to prepare for your AP exams is with Irvine AP tutoring from TutorNerds. Call us today for more information.
