Context Clues - How to Help Your Child
This is a video for parents on how to use context clues with children. All one needs is a dictionary and a book that the child is interested in.
1.4 Vitamin E Vitamin E is not a single compound, but consists of a group of eight closely related chemicals, of which the most important, responsible for about 90% of its activity in the body is alpha-tocopherol. Since, like vitamins A and D, vitamin E is fat-soluble, it occurs in fat-rich foods. The main sources in the UK diet are from plant oils such as soya, corn and olive oil. Other good sources include nuts and seeds, and wheatgerm (the part of the wheat grain that will develop into the new plant) an
The Week in Review: February 13, 2016 Janet Yellen testified before Congress this week and was forced to admit the obvious: the economy is in trouble and could get worse. While Ms. Yellen indicated the potential to a return to ZIRP, she seemed reluctant to follow the advice of her predecessor and other former Fed officials in embracing negative interest rates as her colleagues in Europe and Japan have done. As anger builds at the arrogance of central bankers, it’s becoming ever clearer that there is no plan for monetar
1.6.2 Education Education is obviously one of the crucial dimensions in any attempt to develop a future European identity or at least more understanding and convergence among Europeans. If the school made the nation, it should also be a key factor in promoting Europeanness. Observers of the school scene in Europe acknowledge the existence of a growing sentiment of interest for European themes (institutions, politics, peoples, languages). Furthermore, the EU-based exchange programmes have recognised the impor

Artful Science: Rethinking how the young learn
Anthropologists who study socialisation tend to do so in order to compare modes and values of child-rearing or to examine the role of language in child-rearing. Rarely have anthropologists attended to the ways in which children learn to discern, appreciate, and take part in forms of artful representation. Anthropologists have given only slightly more attention to the extent to which children and young people learn key science concepts and representational modes in their own cultural settings. Th

1.8 Enter aspirin! Aspirin is able to release part of its ester group (Figure 15) in a hydrolysis reaction. Look again at the structure of aspirin, 2.8, and identify this group on the molecule. It is known as an acetyl group and accounts for aspirin also being called acetylsalicylic acid. The acetyl group on aspirin is fairly easily removed and can be available for forming another ester with an —OH group on another molecule; in this case, part of the structure that makes up the inside of the cavi

India is the world's fastest-growing economy and could remain so for 20-30 years. Can it succeed at shrinking its great wealth disparity?
2.8 Why do (only some) teams succeed? Clearly, it is not possible to devise a set of rules which, if followed, would lead inexorably to team effectiveness. The determinants of a successful team are complex and not equivalent to following a set of prescriptions. However, the results of poor teamworking can be expensive, so it is useful to draw on research, experience and case studies to explore some general guidelines. What do I mean by 'team effectiveness'? – the achievement of goals alone? Where do the achievements of individu

Investigating fungi: the wood-wide web
How fundamental are fungi to a forest's eco-system? And how can they be utilised to reclaim barren land and grow sustainable plantations for economic markets? In this album, scientists from the UK and Malaysia explore how fungi form constructive and cooperative partnerships with other plants and trees, and how such symbiosis can be used for economic and environmental benefit. In the audio track, Professor David Robinson of The Open University delves deeper into the techniques scientists use to l

This unit will help you assess these matters and also look at the kind of evidence you should be sourcing, and how that evidence should be evaluated.
