Tips for teachers about teenage behavior

General

When teaching teenagers, it is common to face apathy, un-certainty, low or elevated self-esteem, a sense of isolation or loneliness, frustration and sometimes aggression. Sounds heavy on top of the curriculum workload? After all, most teachers are not experts in psychology. Maintaining control in a classroom filled with teenagers is not a task to be undertaken lightly and requires real understanding and empathy towards what they are feeling and experiencing, as well as solid teaching tools to help you approach them effectively. Expectations Teenagers nowadays often look, talk and act like adults, which can lead us to treat them as equals. On the other hand, we know that they are not and simultaneously expect them to respect our adult authority. Ironically, teenagers are develo...

Treatment tips for jet lag and travel insomnia

Health

Adventure travelers must not only cope with ordinary travel dilemmas of time changes and sleeping away from home, but must often deal with discomfort and noise as well. As a result, jet lag and travel insomnia can affect adventure travelers particularly harshly. Basically, adventure travel comes in two basic varieties: soft and hard. In the soft kind of adventure travel, travelers can expect a bed at the end of a day of hiking, cycling, or other activities. In the hard kind of adventure travel, travelers might sleep in shelters with several other people, in communal dorms, in tents pitched on snow and ice, in crowded buses, or on middle-of-the-night air flights. Sleep is by no means guaranteed. Jet lag is caused by the body's "lag" in being able to adjust to a new time of day. Tr...

Comparing vitamin C content in various beverages

Health

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, takes part in a reversible reaction with iodine in solution. This can be used to compare vitamin C levels in various beverages. Vitamin C, a water-soluble ion of ascorbic acid, is essential for normal growth, repair and development in humans. Unlike most other vertebrates, humans and some other primates are incapable of synthesizing their own vitamin C, with the result that it is a necessary requirement in our diet. In this activity the relative vitamin C content of a range of juices and drinks will be examined using a technique known as titration. Titration involves adding one reactant to another until an end point, often indicated by a colour change, is reached. Vitamin C and its Reaction with the TriIodide Ion In this experiment the end point...
