THE SURE-FIRE WAY TO EXCEL IN STUDIES

   

     Every student wants to study, understand, assimilate, remember and recollect.  Here I will present a few points which will help you to study properly and score high marks.

     English has two words 'Read' and 'study'.  You can read a newspaper.  But you have to study 'Atomic physics'.  'Study' implies active work by brain.  When you study, you have to read, reread, think, rethink and digest.

      1. When you study anything, go through the whole topic once,  whether you understand or not.
    Than read sentence by sentence, para by para; concept by concept, Re-read, Re-read.  The brain will process and make you understand the whole idea.  This is the key-point in studying.

.   2.Ask questions and try to get answers.  Like 'what is valence electron'; what is reverse osmosis'

    3. To remember seven colours in the rainbw, we use 'VIBGYOR'.  To find the + and - signs of the trigonometric values, we use the phrase"all silver tea cups".  Hence use 'mnemonics' to recollect unrelated points.
     4. Go to "you tube". Learn the concept through Audio-visual media.  That will be retained in the memory for a long time.
     5. To remember physics formula, biological names,write them in the sheets; Go through them every morning and night for a few months.  They will be etched in your memory.  This is called 'over learning'.  We learn 'cycling; driving' in this way.
     6. Close the books and recollect what you learnt.  This helps to improve your memory.
     7.  Writing down what you studied; teaching your friend what you learnt; helps a lot in retaining the material.
     8. There is no substitute for writing many small or long tests.  You can administrate tests yourself at home and go for self-correction and valuation.  Today, many online facilities are available.
     10. Try to attend thousands of multiple choice questions in a subject.  Hence you will be ready for any attack.
     11. Do not study continuously.  Give periodic rests and intervals.
     12. Go for Do-it yourself experiments in science subjects - again use internet.
     13. Studying before sleep is better than studying in early morning hours.  Scientifically proven.
     14. Get yourself a reward after the examinations.  Like a tour or a costly motor bike.
     A proverb says "There is no royal way to study".  Rich or poor all have to work hard.
     If you follow the above points in letter and sprite, you will come out with flying colours in any course of study.

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

     JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python"       A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess.      It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being.  The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment".  Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive.      Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers.  Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured.  We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same.  White flowers can thrive in hot climate.  But dark flowers requires cold climate.  The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist.  This is the essence of "Gaia" theory.      On our earth, ...

THE PARABOLA

          A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path.  What is the so special about parabola.    Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation.  It will result in a parabola.  This parabola is also called unit parabola.  Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example:  Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation)    X= 2 and -2, both  satisfies the equation 4 = X^2.  Parabolic equations always have two solutions.     Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples:   An object dropped from a moving train,   A bomb dropped from flying plane,  A ball kicked upwards.      If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point.  This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc.   ...

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

         Imagine a balloon full of air.  The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon.  Let us pierce the balloon with a pin.  The air rushes out.  Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole?  That is not the way the world works.  The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible".  Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume.   The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time.  The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics".      Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze.  Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement.  It violates the second law.  Hence it will never happen.  Hence heat must flow from high ...
