What are some good activities to help build leadership skills in youth?
Leadership is one of those skills that must be practiced to be mastered. Good leadership involves planning ahead and seeing what needs to be done, knowing how to motivate others, helping others to work as a team, and putting aside your own wants in order to help the team function better. Any club will provide leadership opportunities, but having a good leader to watch and learn from is always easier. A good leader will help others learn how to lead, and can give tips and skills that can be put into practice. Look around and see what groups in your area have good leaders, then join those groups. Pay attention to how the leader gives the group guidance and motivation, then try copying those skills. Ask for help with the skills, and consciously try to imitate them. A good leader is always ready to help you learn.
How do you do your math homework quickly?
3) procrastinate. Start your assignments late and spread them out over time. It's better to do an assignment in big chunks. It's way less boring that way. If you procrastinate and try to do the whole shebang in one sitting, it gets easier.When things are tedious and boring, it's easy for your mind to wander, which means it takes longer to finish.
Where can one learn about accelerated learning?
One can learn about accelerated learning at any institution that offers accelerated learning. These institutions include high schools, universities, and community colleges.
Why is it beneficial to improve your study skills?
Study skills help you do a better job of obtaining, retaining, and applying information.
Here are some more specific reasons to study each type of science:
BIOLOGY - this is the study of anything that is alive; there are many sub-categories like microbiology, botany, and zoology:
- learning how living things work helps you to understand your own body and your health
- learning how living things survive helps you to understand why people act the way they do
- learning how living things are all connected helps you to see why it is important that we preserve our planes
PHYSICAL SCIENCE - these are the sciences that study nonliving things, including astronomy (studying the stars and other planets), earth sciences (geology, meteorology, oceanography, etc), and physics:
- Learning how the universe works helps you to understand why things happen
- Llearning how the earth is made helps you to understand why the world is the way it is
- Learning how the earth works helps you to plan and survive natural events like earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis
- Learning how the universe works helps you to see connections between all things
SOCIAL SCIENCE - these are sciences dealing with human beings; some examples of social sciences include anthropology, geography, economics, and history:
- Learning how people interact helps you to get along with others better
- Learning how the world works helps you to be more successful
- Learning what people have done in the past helps you to avoid making the same mistakes and to see new things that could be tried in the future
- Learning how people in different cultures live helps you to understand them and avoid conflicts
What is the best way to learn in groups?
A lab environment is great. Groups working on their own, then errupting into discussions and taking notes as they swap discoveries, seems to work quite well. A study group can be priceless for this sort of compoundingly reinforced learning. It also leads to longer sessions than one might have on their own.
Does homework affect exercise?
Not if you do it properly - buckle down and get the work done and you'll still have time to exercise
How do you memorize science lessons about scientists?
An easy way to memorize any subject is to make it meaningful and, well, memorable! For example, think back to the first day of school. You didn't know anyone, but had to learn names, what they liked/disliked, what they enjoyed/hated, etc.
It's the same with learning biographical (life) information about any famous person. Like your best friend at school, at first you only know the famous person's name. But, information can include a birth date (and death date), where the person lived, what they did in life (their likes), and whether they got any awards for their work.
Try to have an imaginary conversation with the "subject", in this example a famous scientist. Ask him/her questions (hint: use questions for the facts you must learn). Imagine the scientist telling you about his newest discovery and when he made that discovery.
Write a (pretend) letter to the scientist-- you won't mail the letter, it's just a learning method. Ask him all the same questions for the facts you need to remember. Now, pretend that you are the scientist who just received this letter full of questions. As you pretend to be the scientist, write a reply that answers all the questions! Use your book or notes to look up the right answer so you (playing the scientist) can answer the letter. Now, you have a letter with the specific questions, and a letter with the answers. Use both to study for tests.
An important key to learning is to make it fun! Think of different ways you (or you with your friends) can learn facts without it being boring. For example, two or three friends can write and act out a play about a famous person or events in history.
First, be sure you get enough sleep - kids and teens need 8-10 hours of sleep for their brains to be alert!
If you're getting enough sleep at night and you're still sleepy, go to your docor and have them check to be sure you don't have some sort of illness that is making you tired.
If you're just bored and sleepy, try taking deep breaths or drink a glass of cold water or a small coffee or tea (you don't need the super-gianto-venti-whopper coffee)
Why does time go so fast when you are doing your homework?
When you are doing homework you are busy and are concentrating on what you are doing. That alone makes time seem like it's going fast.
You pass any class in the same way:
- Keep up with the work - read the textbook, take good notes in class, do the homework and study every week to be sure you understand the material
- Use your notebook to study - take good notes and write down whatever the teacher stresses, as well as any important facts and terms from the textbook - that way, you can go through the notebook before a test instead of trying to start reading the book at the last minute
- Make a Study Deck to learn important names, dates, and facts
- Ask if the teacher has any old tests you can use to study
- Ask if there is any extra credit you can do
What is the homework policy in a local school system?
The homework policy is a formal written policy in a local school system that governs the amount and type of homework and other details of homework that teachers can give to students. Many schools do not have formal policies.
Is it good to use homework passes?
The kids who get the passes are the ones who are working, so it's not going to hurt their grades.
What are ways you can memorize the five fields of social studies?
There are a couple of ways you can do this. When you have a short list like just five words, you can make a Silly Sentence.
The five fields of social studies are culture, economics, geography, government, and history. You can arrange the letters in any order because it's not the sort of list that order matters - you just need five words that start with the letters C,E,G,G, and H.
So you might memorize this Silly Sentence: Charles Eats Green Ham Greedily, which will remind you of the first letter of each word and help you remember them better.
Another way to learn the terms along with what each one means is to make a Study Deck - see the link below for how to do that! You just practice with your flash cards until you have everything memorized.
How do you cheat on five times each spelling homework?
There really isn't any way to cheat on writing your spelling words five times each. The differences in handwriting would give it away that you did not write the words yourself. It's best to do the homework yourself, especially since it does help you to learn how to spell the words.
A response may seem correct when it is only partially correct apex
What are active reading strategies?
Active reading means having a full understanding of whatever one is reading. You don't just read passively but think as you read. Strategies or methods to practice active reading include visualization, asking questions, analyzing, making predictions, summarizing and forming your own response or opinion based on what you read. http://easylearnreading.com
Is the website brainpop a science website?

How do you tell your parents that you didn't do the homework that you told them you did?
You can do one of three things. You can either tell the full truth, come up with another lie such as "I thought I was finished, but I have more to do", or you don't have to tell them at all and just do the homework.
Which is stupider school or homework?
You are obviously frustrated, but neither school nor homework is "stupid" - they may be boring and hard, but stupid is what people who don't apply themselves in school end up being.
How do you memorize The Pencil and Eraser Were in a Horrid Fight?
The best way to memorizes poems and songs is to repeat them over and over until they are stuck in your head. Most people need to repeat something at least twenty times before they can remember it.
