This will be the follow-up post on the mini series on Tips for Effective Learning. (See bottom of post for other parts of series)

It is important to find effective learning strategies that will work for you. Different person have different ways of making their learning more effective.

Here are some common techniques that can be used as a reference to promote active and effective learning:

From a Video (Just like the Video on Tips for Balancing Chemical Equations):

• Make notes in your own words on a piece of paper or in your notebook

Halo Singapore Students,

Mid-year examinations is just around the corner. You must be busy mugging your Chemistry notes and doing lots of practice questions on it. Well Done!

Here is another interesting and funny Chemistry Rap song video (modelled after Vanilla Ice Ice Baby chart-topper) that i manage to find on the web. Take a short break and =) more!

Just a few weeks ago, one of my current student under my Chemistry Coaching wings suddenly asked me to explain more about Nanotechnology when we came across a question on Fullerene (commonly known as BuckyBall) which signifies the entrance into the area of Nanotechnology. This has intrigued me to share more with my avid readers (mostly students).

The strength of small is huge, or that is what one ought to say about the new revolution called Nanotechnology. And why not! Nanotechnology, a new science which deals with atoms a few nanometres large, has the potential to make scientific strides across industries and impact mankind

We all know water is essential for life and we should drink 8 glasses of water to have a healthy body. We also learn in schools how our drinking water (portable water) are processed from water collecton points, before they are pumped into our water taps at home. We also learn in Chemistry Class that water molecule has a molecular formulae of H2O and that it exists as small covalent molecules.

I was coaching my students during the March Intensive Revision Program on Atoms and Bonding, and thought it would be interesting to find some funny videos on Atoms and Bonding. I managed to find one rap song on ATOM which i believe is a project as part of their curriculum. Well Done! Nice Rap!

Maybe this song will inspire towards similar Chemistry Project in your school curriculum?!
