Improve Your Writing Productivity

On the 24th Feb I made a post to help promote a webinar on How To Improve Your Writing Productivity, A Research-Based Approach which was taking place on the 28th Feb. This was presented by Bec Evans and Chris Smith, co-founders of Prolifiko! in Partnership with Overleaf.

You can now watch the recording of this by registering here it is about 58 minutes long, I am not sure if this includes any Q&A.

Home Chemistry – 12 update

I have some equipment on order from Better Equipped for myself to help support the STEM group, this is mostly some 100ml glass regent bottles to properly store various solutions.

Also sent off for another test tube brush and a flask brush for use at the library.

I am also putting together some kit to create a very simple distillation rig, which is mostly a 2L plastic bottle, a measuring cylinder, and a bag of ice, so that this helps to condense water in to the cylinder. This is very basic but should do the trick. At least according to the manual I got with a chemistry set bought for £2.50 from a charity shop.

If this works, then I can replicate the same set up, perhaps in schools to help children understand this process and discuss why it is important.

Home Chemistry – 12 Molar Calculations.

In previous posts I have talked about creating a known concentration of a chemical substance, for example Citric Acid.

Calculating the amounts to use is fairly simple. However, unless you have access to someone who can help (and ideally also understands what you are doing), then it is a good idea to find another way to double check your calculations.

I have found Molar Solution Concentration Calculator – PhysiologyWeb help for this, I did find another site but the one linked to here is easy to follow, just put in the required numbers.

You can ask on Science foruns for help if needed and they are really good if you also show what you have done so far, and just need clarity or reassurance.

The more you do the calculations for different scenarios, the better you will get at this.

This is really useful to check you have done the math correctly, even if using a calculator, you can easily hit the wrong button, writing down the calculations and working also helps, as you have figures to hand, when checking.
