Parents are the best teachers?

For the mean time since I don't have the luxury of putting up educational blogs, I will post my updates on my preparation for a TOEFL exam this May. I need to let some things out and this is my way of putting off pressures. Lots of luck doing self-review, looking after my child (glad to finally put off my metal ring but is <3) and doing a teaching career. Phew!

My English tutor who is an American woman but resides somewhere in Europe gave a good feedback on this example of a TOEFL question that I got here. English sentence construction is such a difficult task with all the rules to follow.

When can two objects be in thermal equilibrium and the Zeroth law of thermodynamics

When can two objects be in thermal equilibrium?

In a system, if two objects with different temperatures are directly in contact with each other then in time they will have the same temperature reading.

This is because heat transfers from hot to cold objects or from high to low temperature. If no more heat transfer occurs then both objects are in $thermal \ equilibrium$.

Physics Study Guide

PHYSICS STUDY GUIDE (Grade 12)

INSTRUCTION 1: Study, understand and practice solving exercises from University Physics 13^th Edition. Specifically, study “Students, learn how to” for my quizzes are related to it. Example, the word “use” or “apply” means using a formula or a principle to solve something, “explain” means discussion, etc. Expect quizzes everyday of the following week when I return.

INSTRUCTION 2: 3-5 members per group only. Create a summary report per topic based on your understanding. It must illustrate depending on how it wants you to understand. Example, “Relate..” then discussion must show a relationship between variables regardless of a formula is involved, discuss the formula then! Place your summary report on a (colored) folder with fastener: STEM A (red folder), STEM B (blue folder) and STEM C (violet folder). Refrain from plagiarism with classmates’ reports, books or net sources!

OTHERS: Long bond paper and folder, font type: Arial or TNR, font size: 11, Single Line spacing, Margin: 1 in. on all sides and with neat illustrations and diagrams (hand-drawn or not) when necessary in the topic and with page number. (1% minus under Organization if does not follow instructions)

RUBRICS (100%): Content: 40%; Organization: 30%; Neatness & Readability: 15%; Punctuality: 15%.

Solar Nebula's Lifetime More Defined

More specific estimates were given on the lifetime of the solar nebula. A team from MIT determines that the solar nebula lasted around 3 to 4 million years. From this estimates it will provide a greater insight on the evolution of the solar system.
