Formation of Species01:31

Formation of Species

44.9K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

Solution Formation02:16

Solution Formation

37.4K
There is no one solvent that can dissolve every type of solute. Some substances that readily dissolve in a certain solvent might be insoluble in a different solvent. A simple way to predict which substances dissolve in which solvent is the phrase "like dissolves like". This means that polar substances, such as salt and sugar, dissolve in a polar substance like water. In contrast, non-polar substances are more soluble in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride.
This selective...

Standard Enthalpy of Formation02:37

Standard Enthalpy of Formation

49.1K
Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...

Formation of Complex Ions

26.0K
A type of Lewis acid-base chemistry involves the formation of a complex ion (or a coordination complex) comprising a central atom, typically a transition metal cation, surrounded by ions or molecules called ligands. These ligands can be neutral molecules like H2O or NH3, or ions such as CN− or OH−. Often, the ligands act as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. These types of Lewis acid-base reactions are examples of a broad subdiscipline called coordination...

Microtubule Formation01:23

Microtubule Formation

7.6K
Microtubules are dynamic structures that undergo continuous assembly and disassembly. They originate from specialized multi-protein complexes known as microtubule organizing centers or MTOCs. Within the MTOC, the point of origin of the microtubule is known as the minus end, while the end radiating outward is the plus end. Microtubules serve two primary functions — the organization of spindle complexes to separate sister chromatids during mitotic or meiotic cell division and the formation...

Relationship Formation02:12

Relationship Formation

46.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Standardized tests often overshadow the learning benefits of assessments.
  • Assessment for learning involves using data to refine teaching and student strategies.
  • Formative assessments can transform classroom dynamics towards learning success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the dual role of assessments in measuring performance and enhancing learning.
  • To define and advocate for assessment for learning strategies.
  • To present practical guidance for implementing formative assessments effectively.

Main Methods:

  • The paper outlines 10 guiding principles (maxims) for formative assessment.
  • These maxims focus on understanding, appreciating, and implementing formative assessments.
  • The approach is conceptual, offering a framework for educators.

Main Results:

  • The presented maxims provide a clear framework for utilizing formative assessment.
  • Understanding these principles can lead to more effective teaching and learning adjustments.
  • The paper emphasizes the potential of formative assessment to foster a learning-conducive environment.

Conclusions:

  • Formative assessments are powerful tools for both measuring and improving student learning.
  • Effective implementation requires a shift in focus from mere measurement to learning enhancement.
  • The 10 maxims serve as a guide for educators to better leverage formative assessments in their practice.
