one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

Hey there, fellow learners!
Studying is an essential part of academic success, and everyone has their own methods of studying. While some techniques work better for certain people than others, there are several studying techniques that have been proven to be effective. In this blog post, we’ll be discussing a few of these techniques and how they can be applied to different subjects and learning styles.
Mind Maps: Mind maps are a visual way of organizing information. They allow you to see the connections between different concepts and ideas, making it easier to understand complex topics. Mind maps can be created on paper or using digital tools such as MindMeister or Coggle.
Flashcards: Flashcards are a tried and tested method of memorizing information. They can be used for anything from vocabulary to formulas, and they’re great for testing yourself on the material you’ve learned.
Practice Questions: Practice questions are a useful way of testing your knowledge and understanding of a subject. They can be found in textbooks, online, or created by yourself. Practice questions can help identify areas where you need to focus your studying.
Pomodoro Technique: The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that involves breaking your studying into short, focused sessions, usually 25 minutes each, followed by a short break. This technique helps to improve productivity and focus.
Group Study: Group study is an excellent way to share knowledge and ideas. Studying with others can help you understand concepts better and provide a fresh perspective on difficult topics. Group study can also be a great way to motivate each other and keep each other on track.
Mnemonics: Mnemonics are memory aids that help you remember information by linking it to something else. For example, the acronym HOMES can be used to remember the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
In conclusion, these are just a few of the many studying techniques that you can use to improve your academic performance. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you and your learning style. Remember, consistency is key, and practicing these techniques regularly can lead to better retention, comprehension, and recall of the material. Happy studying!

I learned about them finding this yeast sample last semester in my archaeology class and I am so hyped that they actually made bread with it. Not knowing what this bread would taste like has been haunting me all summer.

wait, love ur space knowledge, now i have a moon query. u said earth's moon is proportionally the hugest but isn't charon like half the size of pluto? which i know is technically a dwarf planet but she's very dear to me so what's the deal with that? thank u
yeah Charon really isn't a moon proper because it's not actually orbiting Pluto, they're orbiting each other!
Tumblr media
this means that Pluto and Charon are actually a paired system of orbiting bodies and not a standard planet-moon-system at all, and this is a major reason why Pluto was disqualified from being a planet proper in the first place!
this double-orbit is also a major reason why Pluto's orbit around the Sun is just so unbelievably fucked up.
Tumblr media
which, again, is another reason why Pluto got kicked off of the Planets table and had to go sit with Planetoids and Dwarf Planets at the kiddy table.
(thanks a lot, Charon.)
uhhh but yeah basically these two idiot rocks are just holding hands and screaming while they cartwheel wildly through the outer solar system and it's pretty hilarious actually
