Alright people. I need your help. Enrollment for Skype a scientist this semester has been -fine- but we can do better. We have so many scientists who want to speak with classrooms! Will you tell a teacher you know about our program 🥺 please?

Send them to skypeascientist.com/sign-up

Why Engaging a JC Chemistry Tutor Is the Smartest Step Toward A-Level Success

A-Level Chemistry is one of the most cognitively challenging courses in the JC curriculum. With topics such as Organic Mechanisms, Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, and Redox Reactions (among many others), students often feel considerable cognitive load with the speed and depth of the syllabus. These are not concepts that students can understand through passive reading or examination of variables; they require understanding, transferable application, and problem-solving under timed examination, which is where a JC Chemistry Tutor can help.

In a typical school situation, the teacher has to accommodate multiple students and their varying levels of understanding and cannot provide sustained individualized support. JC Chemistry Tutor offers learning support, and teaching, specifically organized and customized to a student's personalized learning preferences. JC Chemistry Tutors focus on working with students to identify misconceptions, incorrect understandings, clarify and simplify materials using diagrams, and drawings, and compare these to experiences in their real world, reinforce difficult understandings, and continue to build on what a student understands and can do independently.

How I feel promoting my free program to match scientists with classrooms for Q&A sessions

Many teachers have been working in overdrive for months (or years), so I can understand they might not have the energy to proverbially text back, but I still gotta tell 'em about Skype a Scientist. We're a nonprofit science education org that matches teachers and librarians with scientists for free Q&As about science.

In these sessions, you can:

Learn about the scientists' areas of expertise

Show your class what a real lab looks like

Talk about the many ways a career in science can take shape.

A 4th thing I haven't thought of yet

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Pick a category of science that your class would like to talk about

Step 2: Sign up on SkypeAScientist.com

Step 3: Get a match via email

Step 4: Connect with your scientist to discuss your classroom's interests and needs

Step 5: Talk about science in your classroom (on whatever platform you like, it does not have to be Skype).

The real difference between fantasy and science fiction is that if you have too many belts, you're fantasy, and if you have too many zippers, you're science fiction. If you have too many of both, you split the difference and land in a contemporary technothriller where everybody is secretly a vampire.
