Cbse India Introduces A Common Syllabus For Maths & Science!

blogger /

The Union Ministry of Human Resource and CBSE India are leaving no stone unturned to make lives easy for school students across the various boards in India! The latest stride towards this endeavor is the introduction of a common syllabus for Maths and Science for the students of classes XI and XII across all the educational boards. Therefore, from the academic year starting 2011-12, students from all the boards in the country can look forward to a uniform syllabus!

An initiative like this by CBSE India will ensure a level playing field for all the students while they prepare for their engineering and medical entrance examinations. Hence, while all you students studying in classes XI & XII, preparing for your national level engineering and medical entrance exams from the year 2012, need no longer worry about the extensive syllabi covered by your friend in CBSE or other national/ state board.

A common syllabus is just the first step by the Human Resource Ministry and CBSE India towards a flexible pattern of education that is comparable to the education systems existing in the West. CBSE India also has plans in the pipeline to conduct a common entrance exam for Medical and Engineering courses in India by 2013. If such a plan by CBSE India gains acceptance from all the academic corners in the country, life after class XII is only set to get easier for students.

However, implementation of a common syllabus by CBSE India has also garnered a lot of criticism by NCERT. NCERT is of the view that Council of School Board of Education (COBSE) has no right to push the common syllabus agenda. NCERT believes that the decision to undertake any curriculum revision exercise should rightfully rest with itself as NCERT has been instrumental in all such changes over the past years. It also believes that COBSE is just a coordinating body between the various school boards in the country.

Amidst all this controversy, major stakes are now on successful implementation of this common syllabus scheme for Maths and Science. Success of a common syllabus like this could also spread cheer in the lives of students studying in the Commerce and Humanities streams. Talks are around for a uniform syllabus for various subjects in these streams as well. What more could have students asked for to ensure a smooth and stress-free studying experience!

There are various websites that provide CBSE-aligned learning resources for students studying in classes V-XII. A common syllabus for Maths and Science will also ensure that more students can now seek help from such websites and reap benefits of quality and extensive learning resources.

All students studying under CBSE India can expect a lot of good news in the near future as well.

All the best for the future!

The Science Of Astrology Explained BY ASTROLOGER LONDON , LOVE PSYCHIC LONDON & SPIRITUAL HEALER

blogger /

It is said that astrology is the science of the stars. For many people astrology has been responsible for shaping their lives and cultures through a process of thought-provoking predictions and events that have occurred in the past, and which impact on the present and the future.

The word -astrology- is derived from the Greek word -astrologia-, which is made up of two parts, -astron-, meaning -star- and -logia-, which means the -study of-.

For centuries man has gazed up at the stars and wondered what it all means, and how it all fits in with our worldly idea of the universe and cosmos. Over time we have realised that movement or positioning of certain stars and planets can have an adverse effect on individuals, the weather and our planet as a whole.

This influence has led us to investigate and study further the significance of the planets and their positioning and how this could possibly have any effect on our daily lives. A person who studies this science is known as an astrologer, and it is through this person that horoscope predictions are made.

The role of the astrologer is to understand the meaning of our destiny by studying all the astrological information available. This includes planetary positions on any particular day in time, which represent our birth signs, better known as zodiac signs, and in doing this he or she is able to construct a map or predicted life path.

Just as a captain of a ship may use a chart to find his way from one point to the other, an astrologer will create a chart for each star sign. Each chart will point to a possible series of events, which may have some affect on the individual in some way on any particular day in time. A professional astrologer can create a more accurate chart of predictions for any individual based on their exact time of birth.

It is also quite common for people born under the same star sign to display very similar character traits and personalities. This enables the astrologer to better understand the inner and outward signs of a person. For example, it is said that people born under the sign of Taurus the bull often show a stubborn side, and those born under the sign of Libra will very often display a diplomatic side to their personality.

Astrologers tell us that our horoscope is like a cosmic fingerprint and not two people have exactly the same destiny or fate awaiting them. It is the role of the astrologer to examine all the evidence he has put together in creating an individual’s personal chart, and interpret the findings in a way that makes sense for the individual.

The astrologer has evolved a means for opening the doorway to the meaning of life for anyone who might wish to consult him or her. And if you’ve ever heard it said that your life is written in the stars then there just might be a lot of truth in that statement.

Many scientists firmly believe that science holds the key to the meaning of life, and the astrology of science is proving this to be the case.

Zoology Science Fair Projects

blogger /

Among the topics of interest for students who wish to create zoology science fair projects those that involve ants are the ones most students will choose. A zoology science fair project will demonstrate the knowledge that students have learned regarding some particular type of animal. Ants hold a great fascination for children and adults alike. These amazing little creatures are communal and depend on each other for survival. Very seldom do we see a single ant. This type of living system makes ants a favorite topic for zoology science fair projects. Students can choose any number of subjects related to ants or any other animal to study for their zoology science fair projects.

One of the most interesting subjects that students study using ant populations is in the area of food choice. While most people are familiar with ants as uninvited guests at picnics, most people know very little about these tiny creatures. A zoology science fair project will use different foods to see which flavors, if any, the ants prefer. Students will conduct experiments and collect the data from these experiments in order to make a presentation for the zoology science fair projects. This data will then be used to compare different types of foods. It could then be used in supplemental studies to compare the flavor choices of different types of ants. These little creatures are more than willing to participate in these types of experiments because all that is required of them is that they eat!

Zoology science fair projects can also be performed on microorganisms such as bacteria. The zoology science fair projects can also be based on the osmosis and diffusion that is present in living cells. These types of zoology science fair projects are particularly suited to computer-generated presentations. Since these organisms and processes are too small for the human eye to see, students often have a difficult time grasping the concepts. Zoology science fair projects are a great way to demonstrate these types of scientific phenomenon. The presentations bring to life all the tiny components involved in the life experiences of living creatures. These and many other topics, such as the study of environmental changes for marine life, the effects of chemicals on animals, and how different conditions affect growth rates, can be explored with zoology science fair projects.

Significance Of Plant Tissue Culture Medium In Biological Science

blogger /

Plant tissue culture is a term used to refer the process of developing plant cells, tissues, microorganism, seeds and other part of plants in a sterile atmosphere on a nourishing medium. Culture medium used for in vitro agrology of part of plant are composed of various basic components. These components are further divided into three main categories. These are macroelements(or macronutrients), Iron Source and microelements (or micronutrients).

Macroelements: Macroelements are required when there is a need of plant growth and development in large amount. Some essential substance needed for this are Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sulfur. These substance comprise of about 0.1% of the total weight of dry plants.

Microelements: Microelements are needed in small amounts for plant growth. The basic and essential substances need for this are boron,manganese, cobalt,iodine, copper, molybdenum, zinc and iron. Other substance such as aluminum and nickel are also used in some formation.

Iron source: This element is normally assembled in the culture medium as iron sulphate. EDTA is a substance commonly used with the combination of iron sulphate. It is used to slow down and constant release of iron into the medium.

Benefits of using plant tissue culture media process over traditional plant propagation methods are mentioned below.

-Fast process compared to natural plant propagation method.
-Used to eliminate and inhibit plant infections and alter them into good,fresh and clear breads.
-For development multiple plants specially when there is a shortage and absence of essential seeds.
-For the growth of of accurate copy of plants that develop superior quality fruits and flowers in bulk.
-The development of plant breads that have very less chances of redevelopment and germinating using special seeds.
-Provide opportunity to propagate rare bread of plants.

Biology science for plant regrowth and propagation, permit scientist to develop fresh,new and innovative method to develop rare and significant plants. Lots of people threatened plants breeds from forest and sell them without legitimate permission to earn high profits. These flora bread are generally very expensive and its regrowth is very important and helpful for better living and society. Culture media is the ideal alternative to propagate and develop rare and special plants breed.

Titan Media is one of the ISO 9001:2008 and CGMP Certified Company that supply wide range of superior quality micro-organism cells in India and many other part of the world. More than fifteen hundred good quality dehydrated culture media is developed by this company which include array of vegetable Culture Media.

The Ideal School Science Lab

blogger /

School science laboratories seem to always be designed by accountants. They are generally poorly laid out and ill-equipped to serve their purpose.I have taught in many of these disasters and have designed other labs that have been a pleasure to teach in.

It would be nice if price was not a constraining factor in all school building design, but it is.The best way to approach the design of your lab is from the stand-point of what you need, then pare it down if the total cost is over-budget.

A school laboratory is usually larger than the average classroom. This is because it may have 35 students moving around it, flames from Bunsen burners, sinks, electrical equipment and glassware all at the same time, as well as writing materials, computers and boards. The whole setup sounds impossible.

Ideally you need to separate student writing areas from student experimental areas. The easiest way to do this is to have sinks, electrical outlets and workbenches around the three sides of the room. Cupboards for glassware and electrical equipment will slot underneath these workbenches. There needs to be a clear walkway all around the room in front of these workbenches, so that students can move about safely. The fouth side of the room will be where the board and teacher’s bench are.

You will need fume hoods, or fume cupboards, with extraction facilities to the outside. School fume hoods are not used very often, because the chemicals used in school labs are not aprticularly noxious. Fume hoods are best situated on the wall with the board and the teacher’s area. Using a fume hood with a class is largely impractical because of the logistics issues involved with 35 students wanting to use one or two small spaces at the same time. These areas will be used infrequently and only briefly.

You will also need desks or benches for students to sit at to write at and for non-practical lessons. These workbenches will are best situated about five feet away from the perimeter work benches. The exact arrangement of these workspaces will depend on the dimensions of your laboratory.

A fan arrangement works well, with the desks end on to where the taecher stands. Other possibilities include joined groups of desks and desks tee-ed off the teacher’s desk. Groups of desks make for more chatter amongst your students.

If you are installing an LCD projector, then consider mounting it from the ceiling where it projects to the board at the front.

That gives you your perfect school laboratory. You will almost certainly be overbudget at this point. How can you reduce the cost?

* Cut the number of sinks – A large cost saving, but disastrous in terms of increasing student movement during experimental work. Consider long sinks at the back of the worktop though.
* Cut the number of electrical outlets – Small savings
* Cut the number of cupboards – Large savings possible, but increases student movement around the laboratory, and where do you put all the equipment?
* Have just one fume-hood – Large savings, and you will rarely use it anyway.
